Be Afraid, Be Mildly Afraid

HSE CEO Paul Reid

This morning.

Via RTE News:

Chief Executive of the Health Service Executive Paul Reid has said there has been an acceleration of Covid-19 cases and positivity rates over the last 48 to 72 hours and it would appear that as Ireland exits a Delta wave, it is entering an Omicron wave.

In a worst case scenario, Mr Reid said, the country could be facing a potential 20,000 cases a day.

…..Optimistic modelling estimates case numbers at around 8,000 a day, he said.

Speaking on RTÉ’s Morning Ireland, Mr Reid said early evidence seems to indicate that Omicron is a less dangerous variant but it is highly transmissible – over five-and-a-half times more transmissible than Delta.

Potential 20,000 daily Covid-19 cases in worst case scenario, says Reid (RTE)

Meanwhile….

Ah here.

    Oh look! We are ‘exiting’ the Delta wave. Did it get fed up?
    Maybe a Covidian Cultist can provide the answer?

    Omicron – the artist formerly known as flu.

      …says the artist known as mad auld lad GiggidyGums who is tripled jabbed, probably edging other auld lads out of the way for his booster.

      Wit doesn’t suit you GiggidyGums. Witless more like.

      And, might I add, no word on you scanning your code for me and your ex. What is that about?

      Gummy mad auld lads – sheesh!

        Scan the Code Boxy. I’ve no desire to cross horns today with someone with an Room Temperature IQ.
        So cross off the days until you once again are a kelly’s baby, and await mumsie and pops dropping off your allowance.

    I suspect the flu is currently feeling similar to how Marathon felt when they changed its name to Snickers..

            Did AJAX ever chage its name? Whoever came up with it originally deserves a fortune, it’s a brilliant name for anything, but particularly for a cleaning fluid, made housework epic. AJAX.

          Were the Nunch and the StarBar the same? There’s very little on the internet about it, I recognise the wrapper, but don’t remember it being the same as a star bar… Hmmm…

          1. Bodger

            The exact same caramel and peanut confection but with the humble Nunch name and packaging all jazzed up and fancy.

            …are you sure? sounds like you lot are experiencing a group misremembering or what’s commonly known as the ‘mengele effect’… ;-)

          Sellafield was loads better when it was Windscale. Hasn’t had a decent release under the new name.
