Coronavirus - Here come the variants

That flies in the face of their latest advice that vaccinated people can meet up indoors though. And releasing the two Israel travellers from quarantine.

The argument will settle on documentation, but it would appear to me that it is disproportionate to apply this with this excuse. Just because the EU plan to introduce a digital passport doesn’t mean other countries will. If someone can provide solid documentary proof of being vaccinated, I don’t see how this stands up.

First time I remember for 12 months there is no Covid related headline on The Guardian headlines

Only @mikehunt can enlighten us as to the thinking of the medical community.
Mike?

Stop using your brain here, it’s not needed or appreciated.

What are the perceived risks attached to this experiment?

Probably no worse than the raping we’ve been getting from bacteria and viruses for the last million years.

The six counties of Munster occupy 6 of the bottom 10 counties for infection rates. The other four are Carlow Kilkenny Sligo and Leitrim. Wexford is 11th from bottom. Ther might be a clear geographical pattern emerging.

Sure weren’t the French rubby players riddled with it only a few weeks ago?

That’s good batting.

Hold the line lads, next six (6) weeks are crucial

There is a “considerable” risk of a fourth wave of Covid-19 infections if restrictions are eased too quickly, the National Public Health Emergency Team (Nphet) will warn TDs and Senators tomorrow.

However, a fourth wave can be softened if social contacts remain “largely” unchanged over the coming six weeks as there is still a “high” level of infection in the community.

Acting chief medical officer Dr Ronan Glynn will tell the Oireachtas Health Committee that despite good progress being made, the number of people who are fully vaccinated still remains low, keeping the risk for a fourth wave high.

“There remains a considerable risk that Ireland will experience a further wave of infection if public health restrictions are eased too quickly,” he will tell the committee.

“A further wave of infection can be substantially mitigated if levels of social contact across the population remain largely unchanged over the next six weeks.”

Dr Glynn will say that the “absolute number” of people fully vaccinated and fully protected remains low and due to a more transmissible virus and high levels of infection, the disease must be kept under control before any further easing of restrictions.

“The priority must, for the coming weeks, remain on maintaining control over the disease, until vaccination can offer a widespread population level of protection.”

Nphet and the Government will also consider the easing of restrictions again at the start of May.

Dr Glynn will tell the committee that it will continue to recommend a “cautious” approach to Government and that any easing of measures should be “gradual and phased” to allow health chiefs to assess the impact.

So far, 8.1pc of people aged over 16 are fully protected and 19.3pc have received at least one vaccine dose.

There are “very understandable” levels of fatigue in the public in regards to restrictions, Dr Glynn will add.

“We know that the level of support for the public health guidance remains high. The efforts of the vast majority of the population are continuing to help to suppress viral transmission in our communities.

“My hope is that we will never again have to recommend more restrictive measures. However, to achieve this we must continue to hold the line in the coming weeks as our vaccine programme ramps up,” he will tell the committee.

Wait till the 5G comes. Bill Gates is on it

I’m getting very anxious about lockdown ending.

Fucking cunts… The stats should be about how much of the vulnerable are vaccinated not how much of the adult population is… I hope that cunt Glynn dies roaring.

You should have no more to say on this subject as you are simply repeating nonsense. Are you advising the Irish government by any chance?

If herd immunity cannot be achieved, and I accept that outcome is possible, what’s your roadmap out of this?
