Has any ones house mate tested positive recently? I’m wondering how long the text message to isolate takes?
House mate tested positive today and the boss wants me in tomorrow. I get a lift with 2 guys for over an hour each way so I haven’t a notion. Sooner the message comes the sooner I can isolate in peace
So about 300,000 cases REPORTED since week 35/September. But how many infections are there per reported case? CDC says 1 in 4. So at a rough estimate there are, say, 2.5m infections per year under the present infection prevention regime. Which means everyone (in RoI) will have it in two years – less if you count the folks infected to date.
Given this week’s death numbers are 81 you can project 8,424 deaths in 2 years.
Bottom line, we are moving to total contagion within 2 years. By then (almost) everyone will have gotten covid. Vaccines have DRAMATICALLY slashed the mortality rate. But by that time there will be another 8,000 deaths.

That is the cold, simple endgame.
