This morning.
Morning Ireland on RTÉ Radio One.
Speaking on RTÉ’s Morning Ireland, Dr Mary Favier [Covid-19 advisor to the Irish College of GPs] said that despite soaring infection rates the health service is “holding steady, just”, but everything in the health system is under strain and said “we really do need to look at how we want to achieve things in the next number of weeks and into Christmas”.
She called for a return to social solidarity in the coming weeks, saying a peak in the current wave of infection might not happen before December.
Dr Favier said people need to look at how to manage social interactions and gatherings “and just try and do less in the next week or two”.
Anyone?
Meanwhile…
The Government is not actively considering a return to working from home full-time, the Minister for Health has said, adding that he has not received any advice from public health officials on this.

Meanwhile…
Lockdown Ireland is now baffled at how, even with very high vaccination rates, vaccine passports, masks everywhere and social-distancing their case rates are through the roof. They believe what they need are more of the above to fix the issue. Insanity.https://t.co/tiUAlrwKRh

I think everyone has had enough of various medical experts opinions. its nearly 2 years into it and they still can’t comprehensively tell us exactly about the virus. They still have conflicting opinions and results etc. It isn’t complicated at all. Yet most experts are still scratching their heads about it. This pandemic has exposed a lot of academics. It’s the easiest virus to understand behaviourly, and you’ll still get Tony Holohan on TV telling us that children don’t need protection and can launch on into school with no measures taken. Then come out after many school outbreaks and say the public aren’t behaving properly and that’s the problem. If the CMO is blatantly lying, then who can you trust? .. Ol’ Farty, that’s who ;0)
The HSE have been following her advice to do less for many years now.
Halve your social contacts seems a little extreme?
They’ll be asking us to hang, draw and quarter them next..
