The mood has most definitely changed, but its now one of impatience/frustration and people now setting goals/times and saying if weâre not at least looking like weâre making progress by a certain date, theyâre just going to say fuck it.
The fact is none of us has a clear idea of what is going on. Up here everyone has a personal anecdote about a death being put down to covid when it was obvious covid want the cause of death. 95% of people who died WITH it had too many other âco-morbiitiesâ to make ICU suitableâŚend of life care deemed more appropriate
The definition of a case has changed fundamentally purely to suit the needs of the reporting of the virus, or to stoke up the fears by. Previously a case was termed a case when someone had severe enough symptoms to Warren a diagnosis. Now its âŚmaybe has or had or carried some fragment of some virus without ever having been in the slightest danger.
The death rate from heart attacks, cancers and strokes has dropped significantly, but the overall death rate remains s consistent.
Why? People didnât stop dying of cancer etc. Its simply the case that their deaths are being misattributed. Or maybe Iâm just a granny killer.
Get back under the table.

Sometimes the house party can actually be far better than the nightclub itself. Not worth it this year though for fear of being a spreader.
Tippâs and Toomeâs John OâBrien among those who launched it recently. called after an uncle of his Jim McDonnell who had a pub in Gurtagarry. Good pal of mine who has become a big whiskey fan says itâs lovely, Iâve yet to be converted from the gin myself. Happy New year to you and yours

Itâll just be a rebottling of some other crowds whiskey so?
I think House Parties are shite even in normal times.
At least thereâs a sense of adventure in a pub.

Not sure how it works, was under the impression that thereâs more to it than that
Pubs can be very good alright. Had a great NYE in Galway last year in some of its fine pubs.

Key difference is everyone knows someone with it right now. Wasnât the case for a lot of the year gone. And people know people who got it and were grand with it, but then they wernt grand they were very sick for a while. And most people will be fine after a while. But even with âa bad fluâ you will be grand after a few months, but youâd still be better off not having had it

You will in a week. Before I got it my brother in law and a few colleagues were only folks I knew. In the past week Iv been told of 7 or 8 people in their 50s and 60s who got it. Three of them from drinking in NCW watching the hurling final
