    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Well disagreeing with you is a perennial topic, so take that as read. Prudence is what I am advocating. Now I haven't had CV and none of my immediate family has had, and of course I took the jabs as soon as available. Now I do believe I have now a fighting chance if I got a heafty dose of the...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Nobody dies from Covid,or old age or cancer etc .. They and we all die because our hearts stop beating. Our hearts stop beating because it doesn't get enough oxygenation in its blood and or sugars and other nutrients. ..or maybe because there were sufficient holes that allowed the blood to...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Despite Fleccs earlier comments about my looking only at the downside.. and I would dispute that, I am gratified that the incidence of deaths is greatly reduced by the amount of vaccination, what I now find very disturbing is that none of you have faith in the official statistics issued by the...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I want to make a correction .. We have officially reduced the number of people fully vaccinated in Ireland by increasing the pool of eligible people to include 14 year olds. And they are startin ,I think today.. . Meanwhile the HSE are gobsmacked and chuffed by the response rate of the 18...

    Well the pessimists are always realists, and the optimists are idealistic. The irony is that ultimately the optimistic viewpoint win the future.. because they dream.

    I wouldn't be complacent. The UKs 7 day Average was 45K in late July and today was at 30K . If people are holidaying they may be ignoring symptoms. But certainly the vaccinations are cutting down in deaths and ICU interventions.

    As I stated .. Delta is the current big one , with 4 in 5 cases or higher being it... 80% to 95% of current cases. Lambda is potentially very serious because of vaccine resistance, ..but is not as prevalent .. and less viral load. Epsilon is slipping down the rankings of importance. There is...

    Unfortunately that is exactly what I am saying . The Delta variant has outcompeted every other CV19 version present currently.. So yes . Basically when talking about CV 19 , worldwide we are basically talking about Delta. The various national reference laboratories are sequencing samples...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    The UK has a right to apply... And the EU does not do petty. ..that is the advantage /disadvantage of being a rules based organisation.

    .. Contrast with RoI where we have opened walk in vaccination clinics, ..no appointment necessary, and allow Children above 12 ,with parental consent get vaccinated. Our figures now exceed the UKs for fully and partially vaccinated. Don't contradict me with website info... We had a huge...
