Its the most obvious conclusion. God forbid if the track and trace system worked along woth level 5 restrictions close contacts would be identified and isolate. Something is rotten 15/16 weeks of 2021 have been blaming public behaviour yet I for one havenāt heard of one person I know of getting covid since January. Considering I am out and about meeting people, it been the only real conversation piece. I work woth several hundred people and not one person I spoke woth has known anyone who got it. Its a small country and degrees of separation are small.
The vulnerable are now more protected than 6 months ago so why keep this charade. Tiny is back and in the same week cases jump by a third.
Whats the next kite to fly we have MHQ, vaccines and restrictions.
Complex topic to find where the cases are so Tony picking a figure out of his hole is definitely the most likely
Is this ever coming about? Say thereās a seasonal/vaccine dip will the attitude be so far so good letās keep puttering along or a review and improvements
Yes. I donāt agree they make up figures and I agree that comments to suggest that are hyperbole/incorrect.
I do think thereās some merit to the argument that they look to set a tone - typically one of fear/crisis - to look to increase or maintain public support for the public health measures and that numbers are deployed to that end. You mentioned deaths - reporting deaths in the headlines as if they occurred recently is one clear example. The jumping around between statistics is another.
How many people have contracted COVID in that time? (According to stats)
I have to say, itās hard to believe that you havenāt heard of any real life cases if what you say is true, itās almost miraculous.
Iāve heard of dozens of cases in that time and I wouldnāt meet nearly as much people as you
I was essentially the monkey in outbreak. I brought it to Milan in November that year then footixin.
Got it in Portrush watching fotf Shane Lowry. A respiratory virus that wouldnāt respond to any medication or antibiotics, wouldnāt show up on any scan had doctors flummoxed and knocked me out for about 5 weeks with aches and breathing difficulty.
I know a few who fully believe had it, not all fruitcakes either. Just today one lad, early 40s from Donegal was telling me heās out of breath now walking up and down the stairs. Was never diagnosed with Covid but is convinced he must have had it
Nope not hefty but smokes a lot. He gave up cigarettes a few years back but hasnāt stopped sucking for dear life on his vape thingy since. Iām not sure if itās doing him any favors to be honest
