Pubs to close at 5pm

Frankly, their permanent closure would no effect on me; haven't been near one in decades.

But I have a great deal of empathy for families who depend on the pub trade for their livelihood; and people whose principal social outlet is meeting friends in pubs. Many pub businesses are hanging on by their fingertips; another extended total lockdown would be devastating.

Does Covid only come out after 5.

Who goes to the pub before 5, well except for breakfast / lunch.

They might as well tell the pubs to shut all together.

If they close the pubs close the off licence’s too

It will only lead to more house parties

They’re clutching at straws again like last year and haven’t a clue

Government are a shambles

How much longer is this lunacy going to be put up with?

Any thick can see that the driving force of the spread is primary schools but yet again these absolute clowns blame the hospitality industry.

Close the schools yes because the kids haven't suffered enough in the last two years. The idea of keeping the schools open is to maintain some sort of normaility for the kids and I'll be honest it's a bit fucking selfish to affect a child's education and growth because the pubs are closing at 5pm.

Come back to me about closing the schools when you have a 9 year old diagnosed with anxiety over not being able to go to school or see their friends or when you have a three year old asking why they can't go to play school and how much they miss their best friend every time you walk passed the play school or crying when they eventually went back to schools. Fuck the pubs. People can live without drink. Childrens education and development shouldn't suffer because the pub or booze is such a priority to them. Would make you sick.

you're missing the point. the point is to curb the spread of omicron and target the areas where spread is occurring at will. all you have to do is go online and you'll see it. close today and an extra 2 weeks In January won't make a blind bit of difference to education. what does closing the pubs at 5 do when they can open at 10.30am and house party after 5?

Yes I totally agree with you

But my comment about closing the schools now til after the new year is to prevent children from getting it and spreading it and that they can at least enjoy Christmas this year

A few days won’t make a difference to them as they close next week anyway

That’s the point I’m making

As regards pubs the government want their taxes from alcohol so they keep them open whenever. Yes fk the pubs I agree

But let the kids have a Covid free Christmas and enjoy themselves not be sick

I think the reporting on this is diabolical, there’s a lot of spin and the govt is using NPHET as a punching bag

How can anyone in govt be shocked that NPHET have recommended additional restrictions, it’s a super contagious strain so of course social interactions will have to be reduced, the govt hasn’t the balls to take responsibility to lead so everything is blamed on NPHET. It was only a few weeks ago that the govt slapped Nphet down over comms and now they’re saying Nphet is making us do this. It’s cowardly

Another reason to leave this country, not the fact that the pubs are closing, I couldn't care less about getting a drink in a bar, but the control that NPHET have been given is a feckin joke.

Police state for a virus, anyone who wants to fuck about will fuck about. At least in the hospitality industry they get checked and some form of control.

When will it end?

Fuck the pubs. People can live without drink. Childrens education and development shouldn't suffer because the pub or booze is such a priority to them. Would make you sick. you're missing the point. the point is to curb the spread of omicron and target the areas where spread is occurring at will. all you have to do is go online and you'll see it. close today and an extra 2 weeks In January won't make a blind bit of difference to education. what does closing the pubs at 5 do when they can open at 10.30am and house party after 5?

No your missing the point. You are making booze a priority over childrens education and development. Ah sure close the school so we can go get shit faced like normal. Fucking entitlement is what that is"

You are seriously missing the point. There's absolutely no point in this. Its going to make no difference to the spread, its got nothing to do with booze.

I want my kids in school so they can get an education. I want my youngest in play school so she can socialise with children her age and develop as she is meant to. Play has fuck all got to do with us wanting our kids in school.

"Another reason to leave this country, not the fact that the pubs are closing, I couldn't care less about getting a drink in a bar, but the control that NPHET have been given is a feckin joke.

Police state for a virus, anyone who wants to fuck about will fuck about. At least in the hospitality industry they get checked and some form of control.

When will it end?

"

You want more police state than that?!

Should we all wear bracelets, monitoring our movements? Non vaccinated preferably confined to their homes and into a correctional facility for a re-education program if you do not follow order?!

It's all coming, people .

Sign up for the vaccine, get your booster, digital ID, social credit system not far off.

Enjoy your freedom

"I think the reporting on this is diabolical, there’s a lot of spin and the govt is using NPHET as a punching bag

How can anyone in govt be shocked that NPHET have recommended additional restrictions, it’s a super contagious strain so of course social interactions will have to be reduced, the govt hasn’t the balls to take responsibility to lead so everything is blamed on NPHET. It was only a few weeks ago that the govt slapped Nphet down over comms and now they’re saying Nphet is making us do this. It’s cowardly

Poor NPHET. I cry myself to sleep thinking about how Tony and co are traumatised by the bad news they have to give on a daily basis "

And unfortunately people get brainwashed, scared manipulated and co-erced into compliance.

Although none of the measures make an ounce of sense.

And the people do nothing bar look on and bitch and moan. It's the people who have put the government into place to serve them, not the other way around.

How many of you have actually gone and done something about the measures put in place, hey?

How so? Look at the quoted post. Comes across as ah yeah fuck the schools I want my scoops after 5pm. Fuck everything as long as the pubs are open eh? People trying to justify the schools closing over the pubs with "oh it's rampant in schools". Yeah where do you think the kids are getting it from? Do you think their going around licking dorr knobs or something

How can they - they've been successfully muzzled?!

The eldest has excelled since going back to school wearing a mask so that's a load of shit. Hasnt affected the middle ones grades yet and has eased her anxiety too.

Good for your eldest and I'm sure they represent everyone, yea?

That and the majority of the parents we talk to on a regular basis have no problem with their kids wearing masks in schools and the kids don't have one either. Must not be snowflakes getting offended by wearing a piece of cloth over mouth and noses "

Agreed it’s tough on kids wearing them but fair play to them

It’s a totally different scenario from when they could go without wearing them and having the freedom to play with their friends whether it be in school or else where .. eg birthday parties, play dates whatever

"I think the reporting on this is diabolical, there’s a lot of spin and the govt is using NPHET as a punching bag

How can anyone in govt be shocked that NPHET have recommended additional restrictions, it’s a super contagious strain so of course social interactions will have to be reduced, the govt hasn’t the balls to take responsibility to lead so everything is blamed on NPHET. It was only a few weeks ago that the govt slapped Nphet down over comms and now they’re saying Nphet is making us do this. It’s cowardly

Poor NPHET. I cry myself to sleep thinking about how Tony and co are traumatised by the bad news they have to give on a daily basis

The govt makes decisions, it’s just that any unpopular ones they say they were forced into

Advisors advise, govts decide

And unfortunately people get brainwashed, scared manipulated and co-erced into compliance.

Although none of the measures make an ounce of sense.

And the people do nothing bar look on and bitch and moan. It's the people who have put the government into place to serve them, not the other way around.

How many of you have actually gone and done something about the measures put in place, hey?

"

Yeah this is a bit of a nonsense argument

People seem to be willfully ignorant of the fact that you can be brainwashed, scared and coerced via social media platforms

Protesting or “doing something” (which I presume you’re talking about a US style march on the Capitol) about the decisions does not make the virus go away

The decisions are a result of the virus not a symptom

absolutely. what would be a kick up the hole for NPHET, is if this new strain turned out to be mild, symptoms wise for most. before anyone kicks off, the normal flu kills lots of old and or vulnerable people but there's nothing said about it. the way we're going now they'll be looking for you 2 get vaccinated for a long time yet every few months as I bet this won't be the last variant.

Come back to me about closing the schools when you have a 9 year old diagnosed with anxiety over not being able to go to school or see their friends or when you have a three year old asking why they can't go to play school and how much they miss their best friend every time you walk passed the play school or crying when they eventually went back to schools.

Would make you sick. you're missing the point. the point is to curb the spread of omicron and target the areas where spread is occurring at will. all you have to do is go online and you'll see it. close today and an extra 2 weeks In January won't make a blind bit of difference to education. what does closing the pubs at 5 do when they can open at 10.30am and house party after 5?

You have a good ol' laugh. It's your children's lives and futures at stake. Keep 'em muzzled, breathing in from the mask what's supposed to be dispersed in the air for 7 or 8 hours a day.

You do realise the children breath though the mask

What do you think is held in

The anti vaxers claim the masks dont work at stopping the virus but they stop the kids from breathing out CO2...its one or the other...not both

What do you you think the nurses and Doctors wearing masks all day long do...collapse every few hours

Ironic to see the recommendations from the Chief Medical Officer...whilst waiting on a PCR test yesterday, I couldn't but help notice our local test centre in Portlaoise opens between 9:30am - 4:30pm (Pandemic 7hr day!)

And wait for it.... they close two days over Xmas and 2 days over New Year.

Maybe fuel outlets should be conducting testing... at least they be open 24hrs 365.

Oh wait that's private sector logic!

Note to self... decision makers choose to suit themselves.

FFS it's either a Pandemic or it's NOT!

Oh and still waiting on my test result 28hrs later which can be delivered in 1hr by private sector testing at airports

Oh I'm laughing my ass off. Been dealing with your sort on twitter for the last two years. You go on about brain washing and calling others sheep when you listen to your far right anti vax tin foil hat wearing shepherds and take whatever they say as truth. It's hilarious. "

We'll see how long you'll keep laughing.

Not sure where here you saw me calling anyone a sheep? I'm not on Twitter, or Facebook either. But humans do have a herd mentality. We like to fit in and choose those with similar views and interests, don't we? Absolutely normal human behaviour.

As for far right, anti vax and wearing a tinfoil hat? I'm against communism and against authoritarian regimes! Most definitely - and the social credit system is exactly what is being invited in currently with vaccine passports. But far right as in Hitler, who committed atrocities, genocide, most definitely not and that is the reason I am anti vaxx. I believe they are causing more harm than good.

I'd usually like to think of myself as libertarian or pro choice. But in this case, all I see is evil emanating from the vaccine and how it is being pushed on the population.

That's how many of us "anti vaxx far right tin foil hat wearers" think and feel.

Our fears are different to the fears that you "mainstreamers" have.

At no point, even though many of you criticise the actions of our governments, whom we know to be thoroughly corrupt, have any of you even tried to understand where we are coming from and where our fears are coming from. Yet you take the advice from those who are paid by these corrupt governments and anyone who speaks out against the narrative is a tinfoil hat wearing fascist, right wing conspiracy theorist and is discredited along the way. (Exactly what Hitler did in his time of power).

Have any of you ever thought about the possibility that we are right? That the social credit system is slowly, slowly pushing it's way in as your access to venues is now partly controlled by the vaxx passport, as they're slowly doing little experiments like "rewarding" you for going for a walk in the park with a voucher for a coffee in a coffee shop?

If these kinds of controls don't worry you and how your children are used, abused and manipulated in the meantime as is clear with many studies carried out on mask wearing (of course, they're pushed into the dark web where only conspiracy theorists have access), then I worry for humankind.

So I will ask you again - why do we not have a paediatrician advising NPHET where the health and wellbeing of our children are concerned? As I proudly adjust my fucking tinfoil hat!

The idea of keeping the schools open is to maintain some sort of normaility for the kids and I'll be honest it's a bit fucking selfish to affect a child's education and growth because the pubs are closing at 5pm. its to tackle the areas where covid is spreading the most. this is clearly visible on the HSE website. closing the schools today and for a couple weeks longer in January has no bearing on their education.

Come back to me about closing the schools when you have a 9 year old diagnosed with anxiety over not being able to go to school or see their friends or when you have a three year old asking why they can't go to play school and how much they miss their best friend every time you walk passed the play school or crying when they eventually went back to schools. Fuck the pubs. People can live without drink. Childrens education and development shouldn't suffer because the pub or booze is such a priority to them. Would make you sick. you're missing the point. the point is to curb the spread of omicron and target the areas where spread is occurring at will. all you have to do is go online and you'll see it. close today and an extra 2 weeks In January won't make a blind bit of difference to education. what does closing the pubs at 5 do when they can open at 10.30am and house party after 5?

No your missing the point. You are making booze a priority over childrens education and development. Ah sure close the school so we can go get shit faced like normal. Fucking entitlement is what that isYou are seriously missing the point. There's absolutely no point in this. Its going to make no difference to the spread, its got nothing to do with booze.

How so? Look at the quoted post. Comes across as ah yeah fuck the schools I want my scoops after 5pm. Fuck everything as long as the pubs are open eh? People trying to justify the schools closing over the pubs with "oh it's rampant in schools". Yeah where do you think the kids are getting it from? Do you think their going around licking dorr knobs or something

How can they - they've been successfully muzzled?!

The eldest has excelled since going back to school wearing a mask so that's a load of shit. Hasnt affected the middle ones grades yet and has eased her anxiety too.

Good for your eldest and I'm sure they represent everyone, yea?

That and the majority of the parents we talk to on a regular basis have no problem with their kids wearing masks in schools and the kids don't have one either. Must not be snowflakes getting offended by wearing a piece of cloth over mouth and noses

Psychological warfare, peer pressure. We'll see the damage in a few years time as we are raising compliant robots for the powers that be

Kruger dun in full effect

You have a good ol' laugh. It's your children's lives and futures at stake. Keep 'em muzzled, breathing in from the mask what's supposed to be dispersed in the air for 7 or 8 hours a day.

Never mind the psychological and emotional impact.

Where's NPHETs paediatrician advising on the well-being of our children? Anyone ever asked that question?

Oh I'm laughing my ass off. Been dealing with your sort on twitter for the last two years. You go on about brain washing and calling others sheep when you listen to your far right anti vax tin foil hat wearing shepherds and take whatever they say as truth. It's hilarious.

We'll see how long you'll keep laughing.

Not sure where here you saw me calling anyone a sheep? I'm not on Twitter, or Facebook either. But humans do have a herd mentality. We like to fit in and choose those with similar views and interests, don't we? Absolutely normal human behaviour.

As for far right, anti vax and wearing a tinfoil hat? I'm against communism and against authoritarian regimes! Most definitely - and the social credit system is exactly what is being invited in currently with vaccine passports. But far right as in Hitler, who committed atrocities, genocide, most definitely not and that is the reason I am anti vaxx. I believe they are causing more harm than good.

I'd usually like to think of myself as libertarian or pro choice. But in this case, all I see is evil emanating from the vaccine and how it is being pushed on the population.

That's how many of us "anti vaxx far right tin foil hat wearers" think and feel.

Our fears are different to the fears that you "mainstreamers" have.

At no point, even though many of you criticise the actions of our governments, whom we know to be thoroughly corrupt, have any of you even tried to understand where we are coming from and where our fears are coming from. Yet you take the advice from those who are paid by these corrupt governments and anyone who speaks out against the narrative is a tinfoil hat wearing fascist, right wing conspiracy theorist and is discredited along the way. (Exactly what Hitler did in his time of power).

Have any of you ever thought about the possibility that we are right? That the social credit system is slowly, slowly pushing it's way in as your access to venues is now partly controlled by the vaxx passport, as they're slowly doing little experiments like "rewarding" you for going for a walk in the park with a voucher for a coffee in a coffee shop?

If these kinds of controls don't worry you and how your children are used, abused and manipulated in the meantime as is clear with many studies carried out on mask wearing (of course, they're pushed into the dark web where only conspiracy theorists have access), then I worry for humankind.

So I will ask you again - why do we not have a paediatrician advising NPHET where the health and wellbeing of our children are concerned? As I proudly adjust my fucking tinfoil hat!"

Why bother getting involved in the conversation? What are you trying to achieve with a comment like this? Apart from trying to make me feel worthless because you take the time to respond with derision to a carefully crafted response I had which isn't worth your time reading? Which hits nail on the head one of the topics I touched on above.

There really are some despicable people out there.

I wish you a merry, healthy Christmas surrounded by loved ones and joy.

"Wearing a mask for long periods is not good for your health.. Breathing in your own co2 is fine if its once or twice but doing it for 8 hours a day is very bad.. It can cause light headedness even vomiting.. Not good..

Imagine being one of the top surgeons in the world doing open heart surgery for 10 to 12 hrs a day to save a life

Hope someone explained that shite to them ...social media is full of this shite

And most of these top surgeons suffer with headaches from wearing a mask for long periods.. It might not kill but its not good for your health.. "

Surgeons do not work for 10-12 hours straight.

10-12 minutes would be a more typical surgery.

Their masks aren't really doing much either, maybe stopping them getting splashed in the face with blood.

Antibiotics are our means of controlling post-operative infection.

"Truely

You do realise the children breath though the mask

What do you think is held in

The anti vaxers claim the masks dont work at stopping the virus but they stop the kids from breathing out CO2...its one or the other...not both

What do you you think the nurses and Doctors wearing masks all day long do...collapse every few hours

"

Masks do not stop viral transmission. I'm not saying they don't reduce the chances of transmission considering droplets may be contained. But they most certainly do not stop it! There is absolutely no reason why a perfectly healthy person should be wearing a face mask. By all means, if you have a respiratory infection such as a cold, flu or Covid, wear a mask if you need to leave your home.

There have been very clear reports that wearing masks over long periods of time have adverse effects on your health. Headaches being one of the most reported side effects. They also reduce the ability to concentrate. Why do you think that is then?

The germs you breathe out get caught on the surface of the mask inside, hence these are what you are breathing in again. There have been plenty of people reporting respiratory issues from wearing a mask, going as far as developing bacterial pneumonia but it has nothing to do with wearing masks, of course.

Have you ever looked in detail at what happens when you wear a mask for hours at a time? It's due to the resistance created by putting a mask over your face. Obviously a mask impacts on the air exchange and the quality of the air you breathe. You don't need to be a scientist to realise that.

There are countries who have very stringent legislation where the wearing of a face mask for work is concerned - why do you think this would be so heavily regulated if only for the fact that they have an impact on your health?

The government are fucking the hospitality sector. They won't close them fully because then they will have to pay supports. 8pm is essentially forcing them to open.... but making it pretty much impossible to make a living. And yes @_ofusplus, it will drive people to houses.

Hmmm another lovely covid-19 thread. And the division is being driven further.

The point actually isn't if someone gets their booze after 5pm or if children are being deprived of their education. In this turn it's about businesses - pubs and restaurants- lifelyhood and people in the hospitality sector. That sector and the entertainment sector has been pushed to the edge due to circumstances and not to their fault. To pull the plug just before Christmas is very very though....

There's absolutely no point in bashing each other because it only makes it worse. What about a bit of compassion instead, it's Christmas after all.

The virus doesn't transmit in a hotel bar - but only staff and residents are immune after 8pm. Make sure you're tucked into bed by 12 sharp because after that Omicron turns green, starts drooling and oozing phlegm and God forgive anyone who gets in the way.

The same goes for wedding guests.

But if you mix with 5 households in a private setting, well, I suggest you toss a coin as to who's going to be the lucky Omicron recipient. Choose wisely.

Come back to me about closing the schools when you have a 9 year old diagnosed with anxiety over not being able to go to school or see their friends or when you have a three year old asking why they can't go to play school and how much they miss their best friend every time you walk passed the play school or crying when they eventually went back to schools. Fuck the pubs. People can live without drink. Childrens education and development shouldn't suffer because the pub or booze is such a priority to them. Would make you sick.

And what about all the people that live alone and the pub is there meeting place etc .. what about the jobs ? What about all the family run pubs .. think before you speak you clown"

Plenty of other places to meet other then the pub. Yeah I feel sorry for the staff but support is in place for them but hey yeah let's close the schools for being able to go have a few scoops. As for the name calling you just made your argument redundant. Good night now.

"If they close the pubs close the off licence’s too

It will only lead to more house parties

They’re clutching at straws again like last year and haven’t a clue

Government are a shambles and how would you handle it .people are dying every wk another under 25 yr old in the past wk .

Get to the root of the fkn problem

It’s most prevalent in schools

Close them , get vaccine centre's open 24 hrs and not for just a couple of hrs restricting people from going to get the vaccine or booster,

They talk bollox and scaremongering the people

Act act act

Close the schools yes because the kids haven't suffered enough in the last two years. The idea of keeping the schools open is to maintain some sort of normaility for the kids and I'll be honest it's a bit fucking selfish to affect a child's education and growth because the pubs are closing at 5pm. its to tackle the areas where covid is spreading the most. this is clearly visible on the HSE website. closing the schools today and for a couple weeks longer in January has no bearing on their education.

Fuck the pubs. People can live without drink. Childrens education and development shouldn't suffer because the pub or booze is such a priority to them. Would make you sick. you're missing the point. the point is to curb the spread of omicron and target the areas where spread is occurring at will. all you have to do is go online and you'll see it. close today and an extra 2 weeks In January won't make a blind bit of difference to education. what does closing the pubs at 5 do when they can open at 10.30am and house party after 5?"

You're missing thierpoint, its more than education for the kids its development, growth, familiarity, stability and so on,,,, its not simply about the abc's

so because of all that, leave the schools open and let the new strain run rampant? as I said an extra 2 week break does nothing.

"Hmmm another lovely covid-19 thread. And the division is being driven further.

The point actually isn't if someone gets their booze after 5pm or if children are being deprived of their education. In this turn it's about businesses - pubs and restaurants- lifelyhood and people in the hospitality sector. That sector and the entertainment sector has been pushed to the edge due to circumstances and not to their fault. To pull the plug just before Christmas is very very though....

There's absolutely no point in bashing each other because it only makes it worse. What about a bit of compassion instead, it's Christmas after all.

"

Ah look at the mature comment in the middle of all this chaos, well said lady, well said

Folks at this stage pro/anti is pointless the pro (me incl) will continue to wear masks and do "our" thing and the anti will continue to not wearing masks doing "their" thing!

And sometime soon (hopefully) we will have a pint together and have a barney about the next thing.

some will never have a normal mindset again. I know people, relations who are totally and utterly petrified. have stopped doing all things normal that they used to do in life. I'll put it this way, if you were a nervous individual and worried over covid, if you watched the news and listened to the radio ud turn into a frenzied wreck.

nobody is happy who want to live normally. some don't want to live normally because of their petrified state. I even had a man yesterday in convo say to me "I'm so tired of it all I couldn't give a fuck anymore". thats the mentality of alot. did their bit, got vaccinated, some even boostered and now backwards. the thing is Omicron is probably not the last variant we see.

And sometime soon (hopefully) we will have a pint together and have a barney about the next thing.

But be under no illusion we are all sheep !

Just from different heards

many people are jabbed, still wash the hands, mask up in shops etc but are totally fed up because they're jabbed and they still cannot live a life without restrictive parole. it's the tedious nature is getting to most. coming upto nearly 2 years. the mostly commonly asked question I have seen on twitter tonight is "why am I getting vaccinated and then been punished with more severe measures? this is from those who work and run businesses in the hospitality sector

I don't think there is a single person on this island enjoying this, do you?id say some who are paranoid and listening to media drive this every day are Happy that there are further measures in place. some people are petrifiedbut alot also want answers In a sector(hospitality) that's constantly punished over the last 2 years more then anywhere else.

Thats a different type of happy, the petrified happy is like a comfort blanket when you're sick.

some will never have a normal mindset again. I know people, relations who are totally and utterly petrified. have stopped doing all things normal that they used to do in life. I'll put it this way, if you were a nervous individual and worried over covid, if you watched the news and listened to the radio ud turn into a frenzied wreck.

So you agree with me, nobody is happy having to endure thisnobody is happy who want to live normally. some don't want to live normally because of their petrified state. I even had a man yesterday in convo say to me "I'm so tired of it all I couldn't give a fuck anymore". thats the mentality of alot. did their bit, got vaccinated, some even boostered and now backwards. the thing is Omicron is probably not the last variant we see.

So what are you saying?I'm saying people are fed up In a large majority and the further added measures over Xmas will do absolutely nothing. them again omicron could have very mild symptoms for the most."

A global pandemic doesn't just end because people are tired of it. You do realise that don't you? You realise public measures are so that the health system doesn't collapse? And don't go oh they should increase the ICU beds blah blah because they didn't. That's the hand we are dealt. Suck it up or shut up. Their your options. Whinging and crying ain't going to get you anywhere.

"Hmmm another lovely covid-19 thread. And the division is being driven further.

The point actually isn't if someone gets their booze after 5pm or if children are being deprived of their education. In this turn it's about businesses - pubs and restaurants- lifelyhood and people in the hospitality sector. That sector and the entertainment sector has been pushed to the edge due to circumstances and not to their fault. To pull the plug just before Christmas is very very though....

There's absolutely no point in bashing each other because it only makes it worse. What about a bit of compassion instead, it's Christmas after all.

I'd like the government to give answers so the Jabs initially gave up to 90 to 95 percent protection of covid, omicron is a new variant booster gives you 75 now, where do they get these figures from? Vaccine to protect you from old Vaccine not working. Icu and hospital cases the lowest in nine weeks. Schools still opening under 11 is the highest rate of covid cases where rhe kids getting it from??? I've a 15 Yr old girl if school's close again she will be heartbroken last lockdown effected her so much.

We will be running in circles until the first world countries start to understand that a pandemic needs a worldwide approach - or alternatively until it just runs it's course, that could be another 3 years or so or it also could end with the Omicron variant, it's hard to say....

There is a worldwide approach.

It's called Agenda 2030, or the Great Reset.

Vaxx passports are your only answer because they protect - just not after 8pm around Christmas in a restaurant or bar in Ireland - unless, of course, you are a resident in a hotel and drink at the resident's bar.

Once the clock strikes midnight, Omicron strikes too

Putting small and medium businesses out of business is all part of the plan.

At this point in time, if those business owners don't stand up for their constitutional right to earn a living to put food and water on the table for their families, particularly while they supported medical apartheid in the last number of months, and start organising themselves and opening up regardless - well, no sympathy here anymore.

I think the more get it the quicker it will burn out. more variants will emerge in poorer countries that have very little vaccinated.

Can someone explain to me the science behind the booster shot for anyone under 50 thats not in the vulnerable category.

I will get the shot but fail to see what difference its going to make for me and my fellow peers.

It doesn't prevent the transmission and currently its not preventing you going in doors.

Chances of me getting sick is very small.

Its all mad really.

It reduces the chances of transmission and the severity of symptoms

It doesn't seem to be making much difference in reducing the transmission though. Plenty of data out there and with the case numbers we have had last few months with such high vax rate would suggest its makes practically no difference.

So its really a hard sell for me.

And again i will get the booster.

"Can someone explain to me the science behind the booster shot for anyone under 50 thats not in the vulnerable category.

I will get the shot but fail to see what difference its going to make for me and my fellow peers.

It doesn't prevent the transmission and currently its not preventing you going in doors.

Chances of me getting sick is very small.

Its all mad really.

It reduces the chances of transmission and the severity of symptoms

Now ya might still get it and without it you may only get mild symptoms anyway but the key word is reduces

It doesn't seem to be making much difference in reducing the transmission though. Plenty of data out there and with the case numbers we have had last few months with such high vax rate would suggest its makes practically no difference.

So its really a hard sell for me.

And again i will get the booster."

Why are you getting it if you don't believe it works?

There is loads of data out there to show that the counties with higher vaccination rates are having lower death rates and cases per capita

my health centre is doing walk ins for booster Monday Tuesday and Wednesday. I'm contemplating going but then I think why? I got the first shots, not for fear of covid but to get back living a normal life and even since then very few are looking for vaccine certs. if the omicron has very mild symptoms for most (less vulnerable) why bother?

Jaysus i never said it didnt work, absolutely it does work. 30 times less likely to end up in icu.

I have never been worried about catching covid.

But i took the vaccine to get both my frredom back and to reduce transmission. Both have since been proven to not make any difference.

I am finding it very hard to be motivated to get the booster, even though i will get it.

It has massively reduced your chances of getting ready sick if you do catch it.

But it has proven to reduce transmission also.

And you can dine indoors, go to the gym, travel internationally.

it depends on your mindset. if you feel your healthy and by picking up covid you'll get over it in a few days, u won't be 2 motivated. if you're very nervous of it, you will. I have dinner and drank in places since vaccinated and numerous places never asked me for a cert or ID. it will be interesting to see do they bring in a pass for indoors and travel by having to get the booster.

There's no need to be smart I asked a question and you cant actually answer it.

Its making very little difference in the transmission rate, a quick google will tell you that.

Why do you think we are having 35k cases a week even before omicron.

And yes I could get sick but considering 84% of positive cases have mild symptoms its very very unlikely.

If you don't see the point of getting the vaccaine then why bother getting it? Whinging about how pointless it is while also constantly saying you'll get it seems fairly strange.

Coughing and sneezing. that's the original vaccine. were on about boosters. article from a female immunologist said booster does little to stop transmission but offers 70 75 % success against severe illness. she also says not enough is known yet about omicron and might only cause minor illness. "

And what do you think the booster is? Some new vaccine?? A booster is the orginal vaccine just another shot of it

"I am actually flabbergasted that he thinks its making any difference to the transmission rate.

Are the 5% unvaxxed creating the 35000 cases per week.

And i can post this one

https://amp.theguardian.com/world/2021/oct/28/covid-vaccinated-likely-unjabbed-infect-cohabiters-study-suggests

And again let's ignore the 35000 delta cases that are being spread by the so called unvaxxed.

The numbers do not lie.

If you bothered to look at the article I post WHO also stated it won't cut household transmission due to close proximity which the guardian (toilet paper that it is) refers to. "

So you confirm what i said, it wont cut houshold transmission.

"If you don't see the point of getting the vaccaine then why bother getting it? Whinging about how pointless it is while also constantly saying you'll get it seems fairly strange. "
everyone talking here is vaccinated. it's the booster people are on about.
