You've clearly never been out in Belfast then. Or been to Drogheda.

Been to it many times. It's not a patch on Belfast eateries bars or nightlife, but sure you explain to me it is

That's exactly what I'm saying. Belfast is one of the best places you can go for a day/night out. Drogheda just isn't.

Interesting couple of Covid related articles in the UK Times today, summarised points:

- Relaxed about high infections as a lot of young people are driving it, bringing them ever closer to Herd Immunity threshold while simultaneously ramping up vaccination to all age groups - also meaning those young people can do without vaccines, the UK govt are wrestling with the idea of vaccinating teenagers.

- JCVI member Professor Robert Dingwall "it's well past time to panic about infection rates and to publish them obsessively. Even hospitalisation rates are increasingly misleading as better therapy reduces length of stay. Covid is now a long way from being an important cause of mortality".

- UK (England in reality) opening 19th July no matter what. Time to learn to live with Covid.

Yup agree with that. Case numbers kind of irrelevant at this stage. Open up, keep vaccinating anyone who wants it.

Numbers on ICU should nearly be the only driver at this stage.

Rapidly increasing case numbers is something  of an experiment. Ireland has a wise approach of standing back for a few weeks and let the Scots and English experiment

ROI couldn't take the action that GB is currently taking due to the tardiness of their Vaccine rollout.

1700 allowed into the Athletic grounds on Sunday, that's disappointing tbh

Have more or less the same vaccines administered now as the England had for their May opening.
