I've said it before, but I really do understand why Ireland might be the most sense-of-injustice inducing country in this whole thing:

The political elite are too far above the mere contempt of their subjects.

Trying to book a Pfizer vaccination here is proving to be impossible. I think I'll just run the gauntlet of blood clots and get Astra Zeneca. I'm so utterly fucked off with lockdown.

really is a case of do as I say not as I do. Ireland is a laughing stock!

Speaking of things that apparently shouldn't exist, how strange and unfitting of the "mainstream cover-up" narrative that the Guardian would publish this:

Tragic one here; a young mother of four and her mother in Northern Ireland, within days of each other:

A mother and a grandmother, and everyone they know of a like mind, should really have done a better job figuring four kids left without a mother into their risk-benefit calculations.

The Daily Reich.? You've stooped to a new low lad...

Posted the article from The Daily Mail so as not to post the link from The Guardian, which is objectively the lesser of two evils but I thought more likely to provoke a superficial reaction from folk who don't want to engage with content. Should have counted more on those of ye who hop and change positions like butterflies to avoid engaging with actual content.

"It comes as the NHS in England officially launched its coronavirus booster campaign today, which will see millions of eligible people offered a Pfizer vaccine, or in some cases a half-dose of Moderna. "

There's the relevant bit. Might save a few the terrible ordeal of reading the article.

Texas is up to a rolling 7-day average of 200+ deaths per day, most likely still set to increase given the magnitude in the surge of cases that's trailing behind (notice the very typical time-delay in Caleb Wallace's case between hospital admission and death - one month):

Rolling 7-day average now up to 296 in Texas. Uncanny how I was able to predict that two weeks ago using only the most amount of data that has ever been gathered about a global pandemic over an 18 month period!

People die every day. Makes a nice change from gun deaths....
All good....

Don't worry, still plenty of that going on:

Ah poor Texas and here was me pure loving Texas just because they had the stats to suit what I wanted for a time and then they didn't and then they did again just like everywhere else. At least their current bad stats can and will be used to suit whatever political agenda is on the cards this week so their intense loss and suffering won't be in vain

Whatever am I to infer from the stats that say none of it makes a blind bit of difference and that on a larger scale, on a worldwide societal level this shit will just have to run its course in the same way it does on the individual level.

Look to the past and wonder how the other pandemics ended. This was never the black plague and if it was we'd all be dead given how badly we've overreacted to something that kills about 1 in 1000 and probably less.

Failed the test badly. Imagine something with a 10 percent death rate.

Ireland has one of the highest vaccination rates in the world now, especially among the oldest, higher than Israel for example, and Ireland had almost no mortality fall-out from its recent surge in cases, as opposed to both Texas and Israel.

For better or worse, something with a 10 percent death rate would bring modern civilization to chaos and/or global martial law within about ten days.
