Cases are skyrocketing where I live but my work is still making me come in. It's weird how there was a shutdown last spring but the pandemic is actually worse now than ever. People are in denial or just tired of the restrictions. It still doesn't change the fact that COVID is still a big menace. I'm cautious about the vaccine because of the reported side effects. Plus, I don't like the idea of how it was a rush job. I'd prefer to wait until other people get vaccinated before doing it myself. They'd probably give health care workers priority anyway.
That is the big debate. Who should get it first? People in nursing homes? Healthcare workers? Thing they are still trying to find out is how long this vaccine works for. Pointless if it only lasts for a month. The flu jab lasts for close on 5 months. Not sure if we are talking about the same vaccine. Few different people working on vaccines. These are the makers of Viagra. They have said zero side effects so far. Like yourself I would allow others to get it first and see what it does to them. I do think those most at risk, if the vaccine is approved, should get it first. That is the main point, it has to be approved. Every country has its own safety standards. What is considered safe in the US might not be considered safe in Ireland. Much like Benzos are banned in the UK but are used in Ireland. So we see them as safe and the UK see them as dangerous. A lot of countries might not see this vaccine as safe.
At last Covid has done some good and killed the Yorkshire ripper. Americans you can Google him. Man was a monster. Though it was a way out for him. He asked to be allowed to die. Case of which was better for the evil [BEEP]? A death like this or die an old man in prison? Might save the tax payers some money.
Level 5 lockdown and nothing has changed at all. For a small country the numbers are still high. Deaths are still happening. Be interested to see what happens next month. Would you reopen a country when nothing at all has gotten any better? Hate to be honest, but why should they lift restrictions with the numbers the same as they were. Pubs can no longer do take out pints. Yes. That was happening. But that only meant crowds outside the pubs. The weekend just gone was breaking point. Hundreds outside one pub and the rubbish they left behind them. Plus there are no toilets. So people go were they can go. On the street. So unless something major changes in 2 weeks I can see the lockdown been continued. I know doctors have spoken out about changes to how things are been approached. Nobody agrees with the main health experts. Telling them they are doing it all wrong. Is like a bad Carry On film. Each saying and doing different things than each other.
I did hear about it. Though we are been told not to celebrate just yet. I don't think they know that half the country won't take any vaccine. They only need so many though. Then herd immunity kicks in. Biggest laugh of this Pandemic was one of the biggest drug's bust ever in Ireland. Why funny? It was in a prison. Where else would you get it? Vans carrying food and the likes were also carrying drugs. When one van driver was caught the prison was searched. The stuff they found. Heads will roll over this one.
They called it a click and collect service. Just sounds so amusing. You ordered what you wanted and then picked it up later in the day. They think of the biggest crime cartels in Ireland were behind it all. Yes. We have cartels in Ireland. Most of the bosses live in Spain. Always killing each other. Rival gangs. You kill one of them and they kill three of you. Control of the streets and the drugs. Big thing here in Ireland.
