Sorry to hear about those two people you know mate - but are you sure its covid causing those symptoms?
As you are aware Imperial college London this week have basically re-labelled every complaint people can have to being a covid symptom now from headaches all the way down.
Your mate whos 30 has nothing in him (your words)- ever consider that might be more of a lockdown symptom…
My point above which you seemed to have misread was that we are locking down the country to protect the elderly for the most part. Whereas at the same time we are bringing in euthanasia bills to kill off those people.
They were fine pre covid. Now they’re experiencing what they’re experiencing. That’s all I know.
I’m not a LIDTF. But there a lot of knock-on side effects from covid… Now whether they are psychosomatic or a genuine side effect I don’t know… But all these small percentages, deaths, exhaustion, long covid, periods… Whatever. They can all add up to a much larger percentage. The focus shouldn’t be on deaths or ages or cases, forget it…It should be solely on the vaccine now.
Ya but the vaccines are not looking like the silver bullet they were initally called out as being. If they don’t stop transmission we are facing rolling lockdowns and restrictions at least until the middle of 2022 -thats not even factoring in our incoherent vaccine rollout currently.
Long covid etc - I know nothing about it so I can’t give an opinion mate, the majority of people I know who have tested positive for covid via the PCR test have been lucky enough to have at worst a sore throat.
SAGE over in the UK said this week restrictions are going to be with us forever. To me that is totally wrong.
Vaccines are designed to stop people getting sick not prevent transmission. If they stop or at least reduce transmission that is a bonus. Look at the results from Israel, half a million have had the full two doses with zero deaths and 4 getting sick.
Thats good news in relation to Israel, but looking at things sensibly is long gone here.
Archbishop Holohan and co are aiming for zero covid. The government have admitted they dont have the appetitie to challenge that…ie we’re facing a bleak 12-18 months at least.
And the frightening thing is the opposition parties are even worse on this than FFG.
You’d think Boyd Barrett would try to protect jobs etc - more interested in universal basic income it seems.
Fair play to him if he goes for it. Isn’t South Kildare a 3 seater? Hard to break through in a constituency of that size. Holly Cairns did it in fairness to her and is doing a great job. But she’s part of an organisation.
