What are the long covid risks? They're not zero.

What are the Vaccination risks? They're not zero.

vaccination risks are less than getting COvid, and pretty much everyone is going to get Covid now.

Covid will probably be with us for a few more winters. Tourism is probably banjaxed for the foreseeable. Sell Ryanair
Vaccinations will only work for so long. Boosters will be the default.

Covid will be with us, but if they can get some more of the unvaxxed jabbed and can vaccinate the children then it will not circulate widely. It remains to be seen when people will need another booster after the current round, likely this will be longer than 6 month anyway. In a year's time an improved vaccine may be available, any improvement would cut down circulation.

It will. It will spread in the likes of schools but the  vast majority of children won't suffer badly.   The last few months, very few people are adhering to any guidance at all. Masks are in the minority in shops and among people mixing indoors.  So  to say it's all the fault of the unvaccinated is wrong.

A neighbour of ours kid has been wearing her mask all the time in school,  even in the classroom. Most of the rest aren't , and shes being ridiculed and teased by the others  to the point of  her Coming home in tears.  It'll just be a matter of time before she gives  up wearing it,  if it hasn't happened already . Where's the responsibility of the schools to enforce masks? Why leave this kid out to dry?

It's got to the stage where soon, life will continue similar to pre-pandemic, and nobody will care. Cases  will remain high, and nobody will pay any attention to it.  People will continue to die, and nobody will bat an eyelid.

Dunno bout bars and pubs, but in shops where I am it's still about 80%+ wearing masks. And there's nothing to say it's not unvaccinated as much as vaccinated not wearing them.

People will care when the health services are being stretched. People will care if the death rate starts creeping up. You are hoping that it will get to the stage when no one is paying attention to it and you can continue with your life without any inconvenience. Most others are hoping we can get it In check. There is a huge difference.

Aye, because that's what I said  ::)

Any shop I've been in it's  probably 30% mask wearing, if that. And that's from people of  all ages.

I think it's a fair representation of your position on Covid.
As mentioned above, It's nowhere near 30% mask wearing. Not even close.

Good luck  finding any post of mine saying so

As for mask wearing. I go into a mixture of shops, from the local store/filling station to the big supermarket. All would rarely be over 50%. A lot of times it's maybe 1 in 4 or 5 wearing them

Ok I'll rephrase that to be fair. You think the vaccines are driven by big pharma and that it's all a master plan to get you on the system. You think there are alternatives to the vaccines but have been unable to put a coherent argument across on that.

But no one believes you with the 30% argument. It's just nonsense.

Well, big Pharma are making the vaccines aren't they? And do you really think the big pharma are  100% trustful?

Why would I lie about that? I'm merely pointing out what I'm seeing  :o

How are Cookstown a junior team?  Did they not win the Intermediate All Ireland a few years ago?

Yeah 2013 all Ireland intermediate champions. Tyrone league and championship is linked, so if you are junior league then you play in the junior championship. Cookstown would be notorious in recent years for yoyoing up, but mainly down, the league divisions

Is Mulligan still playing?

That's as comprehensive a beating as the Liverpool game, be surprised if Ole survives, it United have any ambition at all he should be chased.

I think it's been a case of them sticking with Ole, to say 'we're not a sacking club'. But the longer it goes on, the worse it becomes.

But would it be any better with a new manager? The best manager in the world would need 2 seasons to shift all that dead wood. And there is a shit load of dead wood.  All this talk of United having a good squad is nonsense. The squad is piss poor. Especially in key positions.

Ole was getting credit for shifting the dead wood at the club not too long ago. Had he replaced deadwood with deadwood?

Yes. McTominay Rashford Greenwood AWB Lingard Matic Bailly Lindelof etc are squad players at best. But that's half of this current team!

CM is a joke. The defence is a joke. The goalkeeper is  poor and two 30+ strikers are leading the front. Where/who are the leaders? Who do you look to when things aren't going well? Who will grab the game by the throat and inspire those around him?

Not quite sure how Maguire steers away from criticism when these sort of lists are produced. Pound for pound one of the worst signings in premier league history. Good in the air but offers very little else and he has actually got worse this season.

I included him within the "etc"   ;)

Come on....

Come on what?

In terms of what United currently have, then you could srgue they start regularly. But in terms of their actual quality and what they bring, they are far from being top quality players

Good news on the covid front. Pfizer now have a pill that will reduce hospitalisation and death by 90%. That is a pill for when you have caught covid not a vaccine.

I've heard of at least three drugs that apparently do similar . But it's obviously the druglord with the fattest brown envelope that gets the approval.

I don't rate Rashford at all. My front 3 would probably be Cavani, Greenwood and Sancho, with Ronaldo and Martial coming off the bench.

Can't understand the hatred for Pogba. He is one of the few world class players Utd have. It's not his fault he has to work with crap like McTominay and Fred. He showed for France that he is a brilliant footballer when he can be arsed which isn't too often
Fixed that

Yes , I agree. First game v Leeds he set up 3 or 4 and scored,  and looked like he was finally going to be the player people thought he was capable of. But what else has he done until now? I think even Europe s big teams don't want to touch him as they can clearly see he is a huge liability
