Nah not me. There is a hero round where I am who puts up painted signs along the roads. The latest one is very succinct.... "the new normal is shite". They keep getting taken down but there are new ones to look forward to each week. "RTE is the real virus " and such like.

I guess in the eyes of some, the two stories are one and the same

Wouldn't have seen this coming. Total shocker.

Thank fuck we're all in this together or this would be bad news. Greatest wealth transfer in history, anyone?

Was reading about that yesterday, great news. I remember being very excited last March when an Irish company had the rapid tests ready to go before Paddy's day and had sent out thousands of samples to Irish hospitals (https://www.independent.ie/world-news/coronavirus/irish-developed-kit-confirms-infection-in-15-minutes-39046582.html). I was thinking here's the solution, we should be back at it all in no time. But the wheels turn slowly for whatever reason. Still, good news is good news.

Since the AstraZeneca cessations seem to be continuing, it's worth noting that all the cases of this, that, and the other, as far as we reasonably know, have been complications and deaths *with* rather than *from* the vaccine, yet rollout has been stopped in several countries nonetheless. Seems that the "fairness" with respect to "dying with rather than from COVID" that was presumed wouldn't be applied is being applied in this context at least.

Several of the people I know who got that shot told me they wouldn't be surprised if it was the final straw for some of the old and frail, given how bad they felt after it.

Saying that, it didn't kill any of them. Informed consent and easy on the coercion and the actual chances it will fuck one up are slim, so I'm still hoping it does the trick for the target audience. They could do with a break, the vulnerable.

Great to see the people copping on to the bullshit, and as disappointing as ever to hear the minister shitting out through his mouth.

Hey Kurt, did you know if we keep up the good work for another 2 weeks we will be allowed to met up with one other family outside? Not in the garden though because the temptation to bring them for even 2 minutes might be too strong and it's so dangerous, we can't take that risk. Still, it looks like all that behaving we were all doing is finally paying off. Yeah!

Macron just announced they're closing all the crèches and schools for the next three weeks.

Macron just announced they're closing all the crèches and schools for the next three weeks.

Right as the trials begin in earnest for the adolescents and also babies over 6 months old. Now watch that customer base explode to facilitate the safe return to childcare and early learning.

But nothing to see here, all perfectly scientific and above board,  and presented without as much as a smidgen of unnecessary hype or irrational fear. Those pesky variants just keep forcing those poor governments into keeping us all safe proper style. And it kills them to have to do it, it really does blacken their little hearts to care so much. 

And  thank the lord that following every single bit of their advice to the letter has kept me safe from my own stupidity, no matter how illogical it got or how much it went against the evidence of my eyes and ears and I especially have had to work very hard to overcome the feeling of every fibre of my body telling me that it's all wrong, but I'm getting there so I am, I'm nearly ready to follow the science.

Line up, kids. Time to follow the science!

Why are the services closing? I've only heard the story here

I would presume a combination of less mixing of children at school while also obliging as many adults as possible to stay at home, working from home if possible. I'm not saying it's a good measure, it sure as hell doesn't suit us in our household. There are no "trials" on adolescents happening here that I know of; vaccination roll-out here is still at over 70s or over 50s with known comorbidities, will be down to all over 60s in a couple of weeks, then all over 50s a week after that. That's the planned schedule at least.
