Sf basically some people will say anything against it no matter what. Is it disappointing we are still when we are? Yes. However it is still a huge improvement.

Lines come out like "it'll never be over". Ridiculous.

Well, since 90+% have been vaccinated,  rates still sky high, and they're drip feeding you info that there'll be a 3rd, 4th, 5th, 50th jab... it doesn't sound like this will go away to me. And it won't be. It could, but it won't.

Absolute nonsense.

Well as stated earlier, Israel are preparing for a 4th dose. Doesn't sound like it's going away does it? Maybe you just don't want to tell yourself that.

"Huge numbers without masks" lol

But only in Armagh seemingly as in most other places the majority still wearing them!

I didn't say "huge"

And I'm not just talking about mask wearing in shops. There's also  workplaces, people entering other houses, public transport..

[the main reason to avoid covid and get the vaccine is the health service cannot cope with large scale sickness]

Yep let's all listen to a few half baked GAAboarders and ignore all them oul scientists and doctors.
Sure what would they know about science or health matters.

exactly this, the half-wits on here are unbelievable but they reflect their community unfortunately

the main reason to avoid covid and get the vaccine is the health service cannot cope with large scale sickness

the selfishness of people is unreal, covid is not about you or your freedoms

social distance, wear your mask, get vaxxed etc

it'll all be over soon 

To be honest, a huge number don't give two f**ks about the health service.  People think once they're jabbed, they are safe/free to do anything they want... when they go about with no masks, no distancing etc, are they thinking of the health service and the pressures it's under? Are they f**k. when it comes to the health service, all people  care about is if they take bad ((with covid or other),  there will be a bed free for them.

By the way, this will never be over.

More drivel. It's the unvaccinated that are running wild as the didnt give a shite in the first place. In my experience that vaccinated have cared enough about it in the first place to continue taking precautions. I am double vaxxed but still wear a mask and mind myself when out and about.

There are maybe 9 in 10 adults  vaccinated. So, the big number of people running around without masks/"running wild" etc,  a huge number of those would be  those that are  vaccinated.

No point in caring enough to get vaccinated, then ignore all  guidance afterwards.

I always like the voice of Tony Gubba . Highlight reels with his voice on them brings me instantly back to the late 80's /early 90's. 

Brian Moore was the same. Sinstadt not as much.

It won't be over soon even if 100% of people get vaccinated, which is impossible to attain. Selfishness for not taking the vaccine my hole. The reason for the current high number of Covid cases is a proportion of young double vaccinated young ones going buck mad & not adhering to earlier Covid safety guidelines & spreading to family members thereafter. Plenty of people are dying of Covid who get the vaccine. No doubt the vaccine is better than the alternative, however the vaccines efficacy is not great in respect to the delta variant.

Yet, are they still dishing out the same vaccines as before?  Or are they constantly doctoring them to cope with the ever changing strains?

Double vaccinated 6 months ago (Pfizer)

Had a pre work covid test on the 27th of Oct - negative

Felt like a head cold/sinus infection (no temp) Saturday and stayed like that till Tuesday, called off of work M/T had to take a covid test to go back to work today (they are really strict) - positive.

This evening noticed loss of smell, opened a spice jar of both Garlic and Cinnamon and nothing.

Wore my mask everywhere, never went out to socialize the past 2 months because I was swamped with work.

10 days off of work till next test on the 22.

So far all minor symptoms, doctor said the vaccine is more than likely keeping me this way.

Be Careful

Hope you recover well

Any idea how you picked it up?

But people ARE ignoring those same scientists and doctors, and the health advice. Because many many people are not wearing masks, keeping distance, washing hands etc etc.

So no point listening to them about getting the  vaccines , if you're just going to then ignore everything else that's advised

More proof that the SPL is just a stepping stone for managers. Learn their trade there and jump ship when an offer from the PL comes up.

Was reading an article in Gaelic Life this morning about a Derry match in the 80's. Some of the players got lost going to Mayo, and the referee threw the ball in, even  though Derry only had 13 men on the pitch.

Is this allowed? I thought if a team didn't have the full 15 players, they forfeited the game?

Anyway, if a match is   allowed to go ahead without the full 15 , when those players take to the field after the match starts, is that  counted as a substitute?

[Many of those are anti vax idiots]

One thing we're seeing in this pandemic is evolution in real time, ie survival of the fittest. At the moment there is an extremely low risk of vaccinated people getting ill or dying. Almost all Covid deaths are now among the unvaccinated. Many of those are anti vax idiots whose deaths could've easily been prevented. There are still ordinary, decent people dying unfortunately but the vast majority are science deniers and idiots.

Do you know that for a fact, or are you just believing what the  mainstream media  are feeding you?  There are many reasons people choose not to get vaccinated.

The vast majority of people have got vaccinated because they believe the scientists ie the experts in this field and they know they will get excellent protection against serious illness. People who aren't getting vaccinated obviously don't trust the scientists for whatever reason but often it's because they've seen youtube or facebook conspiracy theories. Those people who haven't been vaccinated are therefore unprotected and are way more likely to become ill and a proportion of those will then die. A peer reviewed study the other day showed you are 32 times more likely to die if you haven't been vaccinated. That's a study of real life data checked and verified by other scientists.I prefer to trust peer reviewed scientific studies rather than anecdotes on youtube which are often deliberate misinformation.

Yes many did. But many also only got vaccinated because they wanted to travel, go to concerts/sports events, visit a pub/restaurant, or keep their jobs, or visit loved ones in care homes etc.  There are many who got vaccinated who don't trust the vaccine or the science , but they just see vaccination as a means to  do certain things.

Actor Dean Stockwell, who starred in the TV series Quantum Leap and several David Lynch movies, died on Sunday at the age of 85

Ah, sad to hear that.  Quantum Leap was a  great show back in the day. RIP

Benny where do you live so that I can avoid going into the shops? I'd reckon in my local shop, petrol station, large supermarket etc. that mask wearing is no less than 70% compliance at the minute and the majority of the 30% are under 30s. Noses sticking out of masks currently sitting at a solid 100% amongst our European friends.

I'm thinking in smaller shops,  when someone nips in to pay for fuel and pick up a  loaf or something, they maybe think "sure I'm only going on for a minute. I won't need a mask".  I've seen in those sort of shops very few wearing, maybe as low as 1 in 4/5.  Larger supermarkets might have  slightly more, as people think they need them as they'll be there longer.

Bookies have signs 'no mask no bet', but few have them on. And some that do are under chin/nose. Similar ratio, 1 in 4/5. A lot of youngsters/teens don't tend to have them but slot of older folk too.

I have noticed in chemist more wear them. The chemists themselves all wear them so maybe the fact that they wear masks  has an affect on customers   wearing them too, I don't know
