Lads I’d say penneys is going to be mobbed this weekend with people running to buy work clothes
So no more curtain-twitcher posts? I miss them already.
Mad that it’s now ending all at once. Happy days.
It’s all part of their Orwellian plan or something.
Aww, Meat Loaf would have loved this.
Horaaaaay! 🥳
I told ye it would only be 2 weeks and it would be done
Christ it feels like Christmas Eve. You know that giddy feeling you get?
God the pints tomorrow night are going to be glorious
What hours are the pubs ‘n’ clubs going back to? 12 or pre-covid times?
Well done everybody. What a balls of a two years, but this is a good feeling.
FREEEDDDOOOOMMMM
Just two weeks ago people were calling for reduced capacity on public transport
Just in time for the 6 Nations! Truly the most magical time of the year.
Great, I can go back to avoiding niteclubs for fear of violence instead of the fear of infection
Does anyone know what we average with hospitalisations in a heavy Flu season?
Would it be about 500-800 people at any one time?
I couldn’t see Tony and NPHET signing off on anything that won’t reflect a typical heavy Flu season (this is good)
(Pasted some of this from my post yesterday)
– Spain have said they’re going to start treating this as a Flu outbreak from now on
– The last data I saw said Omicron now has around a 1 in 300 chance of hospitalisation
– This is down to it being much less of a bastard to deal with and vaccine/booster uptake
– This is **TINY** compared to wave 1 of Covid that had a CFR of – at one stage – about 2% in Ireland
And to add new ones:
– Original Covid or Delta (I forget which) had a hospitalisation rate of 5-7%
– Let’s say one in 20 for easy Maths
– Versus the one in every 200/300 (depending on the study) we have with Omicron
Using even rough back of napkin Maths, we’re 10 times better off now than we were with OG Covid and Delta
What an amazing fucking week overall
The next 14 hours are crucial.
Whats the rationale behind lifting them when cases are so high? (Not fishing, genuinely confused)
Ah of course they wait until I decide to stay in the weekends to save money
Well I guess that ain’t happening now, time to stay broke in the name of fun
All those poor feckers who relocated to Leitrim and Donegal who get a call to come back to the office next month for team building etc
What am I going to complain about now? The weather? Sure its been grand 🙄
Why am I reminded of tat scene from jaws when the rednecks are getting on the boat and Dreyfuss’ character laughs and says “they’re all gonna die”
Does this mean we no longer need Wickerman and his “Oh Shit” comments, I’ll miss that. Thank you for your consistency throughout the pandemic case number updates, the real hero in all of this.
Must be the quickest decision ever made by our government
This is great, getting married in 4 weeks and to be honest we were shitting it over Xmas due to Omnicron.
Having a celebratory Guinness as I type this 🙂
Literally WHAT is the reasoning for pushing the serfs to get back into their cars/buses/trains and back into the office when we know full well after 2 years that plenty of work can be done from home? To the same standard if not better, even.
Do we have to pretend that we learned nothing from this pandemic? That *nothing* changed for the better?
Does going back to “normal” mean we have to go back to exactly the way things were pre-Covid?
Total b*llocks.
So after two years of covid and never getting it, I just done a test and I am now confirmed as having covid
Just in time to sit and watch all guidelines get removed
I don’t think I could of fucking timed that any worse
I’ll be mad licking door handles now.
I’m terrified to go the pub
Office clothes in shops, aaaaannnnnndddddd there goneeeeeee.
They will have to drag me back in kicking and screaming.
Might even change job if it’s not mostly remote.
I wonder will GP surgeries ever go back to being open like they used to be, or will the telephone appointment system remain
Out of the blue! I’m hesitant but, I need the ride. Wish me luck!
fuuuuuuuuck I’m gonna be forced back into the office soon
