Coronavirus - Here for life (In high population density areas)

Upping restrictions when vaccine available …announcing a restricted summer awaits …blaming any person that lands in Ireland … not exactly a ringing endorsement of a vaccine

Ciara Phelan from The Mirror seems very nervous.

She’s like a child on a TY journalism project.

The modern face of journalism.

Twitter and social media.

Charlie Bird, for all his faults, would have at least asked some difficult questions and grilled the decision makers. Ciara, bless her, is like a lady from a student radio station.

charlie bird travelling to new hampshire shouting questions in david drumm’s letterbox was brilliant TV

That’s what Im starting to think too. It’s like the build up to the twist in a thriller. The clues are there for everyone to see if we just look hard enough. The strange negativity from all the experts . Boris and the brits are just so keen for the first triumph of the post brexit era that they’re like the bumbling over eager simpleton running straight up into the upstairs bedroom before being knifed between the shoulder blades by the 4th wave jumping out of the hot press

yes - Netanyahu knows as well - he is doing this to get elected on march 27 and stay out of prison- he even has a bunch of irish lads developing that tracker app

ah it it would be some craic if some mad sudanese variant kicked off or something at the Tokyo Olympics… killeen and MacConkey would march on the Dail… they’d have Luke O Neill thrown into the liffey with his guitar and Tony will come back and flatten Glynn and Varadkaar for the final time.

Bollox. Wrong thread

@glenshane

This vaccine is as flighty and whimsical as the virus itself. A week ago it didn’t stop transmission. Now it even stops asymptomatic transmission, but it doesn’t stop the vaccinated person becoming infected. This actually means that the vaccine can’t stop you becoming infected yet it simultaneously vaccinates other people…against infection.
It’s a modern miracle…I bet not even luke o’neill fully appreciates it.

Meanwhile they’re going mad in the UK booking holidays.

Bravery in the face of State thuggin’!!

Will they be able to get refunds when the 4th wave hits in the summer?

[glasagusban]

Southern European countries will be accepting tourists with a negative test or alternatively with a vaccine certificate, without restriction this summer.

There’s also the European traffic lights system and after a long lockdown and with significant numbers vaccinated it’s likely most of Europe will make it down to the green list again, probably by mid-summer. This is important because it’s a European agreement the government has signed up to, we can’t restrict travel from green zones.

As far as I can see people will be going on holidays and there’s pretty much nothing the government can do about it.

[Thomas_Brady]

You’re right… From what I read most hotspots will only allow people in with vaccine passports tho, so those adamant they won’t be getting a vaccine won’t be leaving this island for a long time.

[balbec]

Government here announced overnight that incoming visitors do not need to quarantine if they have proof of vaccination.

RTE will still make a big issue out of it

[glasagusban]

They will. They need to be taken to task on it.

[Batigol]

My god there’ll be variants everywhere

[glasagusban]

Ok, that’s completely wrong, stop making things up, it’s not fair on gullible types like @Horsebox.

@Batigol

My god there’ll be variants everywhere

It’s the pandemicological equivalent of firing your car keys into the ashtray
