Given that about 93% of the population is vaccinated, and a large proportion of the unvaccinated are under 12 and therefore in a low risk category, the data in the table clearly shows that vaccination reduces the death rateI am not anti vaccine and listen daily to both narratives of current situation. But feel it’s all one sided media an no one allowed to question the so called experts

At this stage we are 20ish months into this pandemic and we shouldn't need rules, regulations, guidelines or laws to govern our behaviour. It all comes down to personal responsibility and risk assessment as to where we go or don't. The likes of funerals and more to the point the socialising afterwards are high risk situations.Man locally passed away being covid positive. He had an underlying condition but most likely would have motored away for a good few years if he hadn't contacted the virus.
I heard about 150 "mourners" packed into a fairly small pub for refreshments afterwards.

You get a few hours kip before milking so !!Hence nightclubs being closed at midnight
People were never meant to live forever.
Am I right in thinking its who I'm thinking, you were best man or groomsman for himMy best friend is 41 and for the last 11 years he has battled 4 different brain tumors. In the last 3 years, things have gotten much worse for him. He has been close to death a number of times, but has always managed to pull through. In the last 12 months, he has gone through intensive radium and chemotherapy treatment, 26 sessions of each. It has rattled him. He would do anything to live - he'd cut off half of his body if he thought that it could give him more years to spend with his 3 daughter's that are 3, 5 and 7.
He has a Glioma - it is like a bone that grows inside his skull and puts pressure on his brain. He has had 2 strokes and has had to learn to walk again. His Glioma was not preventable. They occur in 1 in every 20,000 people at some stage in their lives. It chooses fit, strong and young people as well as old, fat and unfit people.
He knows that he's not meant to live forever, but there are thousands of people in ireland just like him - contracting covid would whip his life in an instant.
The spread of Covid is preventable.
We can't just live our lives believing that nobody else matters.
Those of us that are well have a responsible to sick and elderly people to protect them to the best of our ability.
They are our parents, grandparents and friends.
They are the people that gave us life and raised us and the people that gave us friendship and made us what we are today.
Everyone is tired and weary. If the healthy young people are tired and weary, imagine how the old and sick people feel. That's no reason for the healthy people to give two fingers to everyone else and suggest that their lives are less important?
People are happy to throw all of this away so that they can go to the pub or nightclub or not wear a mask, or not keep their distance? People talking about their human rights being taken away. Everyone has rights - surely the right to live should thrump all other rights?
Didn't realize we had an immunologist among us?The virus must simply work its way through the population , otherwise we just have this open - close charade forever.
People were never meant to live forever.
Was quoting a Dr Paddy Mallon who appeared on prime time two nights ago, doubt he's too ignorant about itDidn't realize we had an immunologist among us?
All well and good until it shows up to your door.
An abhorrently ignorant train of thought.
There are people capable of being responsible as you suggest.
Many others, particularly younger don't see this virus as a personal threat so will do as they wish if allowed.
They can then spread it around potentially causing harm to more vulnerable people.
Suggesting that we don't need rules is living in fairyland.
Be a shock if santy caught covid mid December and had to isolateThere’s a massive government blindspot with schools, 5-12 year group is where it’s doing the rounds. My sister is out sick with COVID, she’s a teacher who caught it from a child in class. Schools are now the contract tracing arm of the HSE. Why a >6 year old child can’t wear a mask at school is a fecking joke along with it’s not mandatory for antigen testing to attend school.…..pathetic leadership again from this government
the longer this goes on the more Christmas is coming under risk

After spending ten minutes here trying to think of a way to respond with my opinion of this without getting banned .
The expression "more to be pitied than laughed at " comes to mind .
I find it disgusting that someone would think a six year old child should be made wear a mask at school .
my Mrs found out she has covid today , shes extremely tired but ok otherwise , been that way this past three days which is what prompted her to get a test , I have to have a test tomorrow myself , If I have it I have it
it’s only a mask, what’s the problem, kids are spreading it and that’s a fairly clear fact from the HSE’s 5-12 year olds stats.
if your kids lived in any other country they would be wearing masks full stop and they would be used to it. People here are too precious and full of wokeism in this country. We’re not talking Austria here, it’s just a mask……
