And they continue to downplay the role of the vaccine in all of this as well with added measures such as 5 days isolation for a close contact even if you're boosted, 10 days if you only have two doses (basically same as unvaxxed).Sorry bud but you need to pump the brakes now.
The government would want to be careful with their messaging because it's going to put people off getting boosted and people are already nervous about getting their kids vaxxed, to be told it makes no difference when kids won't have three doses for months and months... people are just going to say why bother, I see it already.
I mean FF were shocking bad in the noughties but this current government are running them close as the most incompetent, unorganised crowd of fools that ever got into power.
Whatcdo you think should be happening right now? You like Inna family that have all af the lurgy right? So ye all probably spread it, I have been out for meals and to bars in our common area many times over the while and no one is properly doing anything so shut then down.
They have only themselves to blame for refusing to obey the rules .
FF and FG both put aside the old issues to run this country in its hardest times since the emergency and I'd actually like you to back up your rhetoric.
Poibt at a country that tested positive at 0.1% yesterday as in 4000/4000000 and show me what you think the government could be doing better.
Nope, just me, none of the others caught it actually.
And we all know that schools are currently the main vectors for transmission if they weren't doing their jiggery pokery act with contact tracing and pointing it at private households.
As per the latest data from HSPC, from week 26 to week 49 of 2021 social gatherings are responsible for just 3.1% of outbreaks. That's lower than even retail which has been open all along for obvious reasons (3.9%)
For last week, it was just 1.
The overall number of outbreaks notified in Week 49 increased by 25 compared to Week 48
2021
• There were five acute hospital outbreaks notified
• There were 13 nursing home outbreaks notified
• There were five community hospital/long-stay unit outbreaks notified
• There were 29 residential institution outbreaks notified
• There were 12 outbreaks associated with other healthcare services notified
• There were 37 outbreaks associated with schools notified
• There were nine outbreaks associated with childcare facilities notified
• There were three outbreaks associated with workplaces notified
• There was one religious/other ceremony related outbreak which included one confirmed
VOC Omicron case
• The remaining 50 outbreaks* included private houses (n=38), extended family (n=8), travel
(n=2), social gathering (n=1) and other (n=1)

So yes I do think that NPHET are unfairly singling out hospitality whilst sticking their fingers in their ears about schools and saying 'La la la we can't hear you'
