Paul Reid, CEO HSE, at Dr Steevens’ Hospital this afternoon
HSE CEO Paul Reid says the “most likely” scenario is that the pace of growth of the Delta variant will “outmatch our supply of vaccines over the coming weeks”. He says it is key that the Delta variant is taken seriously | https://t.co/XhZX2bb6gJ pic.twitter.com/EDwSIf1NsD

The key is taking the Delta variant seriously.

This morning.
Dublin Castle, Dublin 2.
Arriving for a Covid cabinet meeting to decide on NPHET recommendations were from top: Taoiseach Micheál Martin. Tanaiste Leo Varadkar and Minister for the Environment Eamon Ryan.
Meanwhile, this afternoon
Via RTE
Taoiseach Micheál Martin has announced the latest Covid-19 restrictions saying there will be a delay to indoor hospitality beyond the planned 5 July date.
Mr Martin said that the reopening of indoor hospitality will be limited to those fully vaccinated or recovered from Covid-19 infection
Mr Martin said that last night the Government was advised in very stark terms by public health officials that there is a real risk of spreading virus if reopening continues as planned on 5 July.
He said the Government has agreed to delay some elements of further reopenings.
The Taoiseach said the Government will find a workable approach and know the delay will be greeted by “dismay and frustration”, but the Government will provide additional supports in the coming weeks.

Meanwhile…
Restaurants and bars in Northern Ireland are brilliant. Staff and customers not overly afraid of getting a cold.
Routes out of this for ROI:
1) peaceful non-compliance
2) no compromise with the extremists and fanatics in NPHET, media and government.#disbandNphet #Nuremberg2 pic.twitter.com/XezjKHnJMY— Graham Neary (@GrahamNeary) June 29, 2021
This morning.
Brussels, Belgium.
“We need to have a full assessment of the prevalence of the Delta variant right now across Europe. It’s not just the UK anymore. There are very high numbers in Portugal, for example.
“Full vaccination is the most important protective weapon we have against the Delta variant in our case, or indeed any other variants that may emerge.”
Taoiseach Micheal Martin.
Meanwhile…
“We’re at a point of unease and apprehension as to what might happen next”

Here’s the deal: The Delta variant is more contagious, it’s deadlier, and it’s spreading quickly around the world – leaving young, unvaccinated people more vulnerable than ever. Please, get vaccinated if you haven’t already. Let’s head off this strain before it’s too late. pic.twitter.com/9gBeRpvCe8

Oh.
Meanwhile…
A strange phenomena following vaccination was first reported a few weeks ago. Many thought it was a hoax and were unsure how to respond. There seems to be more information now & it appears that this should be urgently investigated. See Telegram post of @robinmonotti2 pic.twitter.com/BDx1U2VQfM

FIGHT!
River Shannon at Athlone, county Westmeath
This morning/afternoon.
A Covid-19 outbreak in Athlone has been identified as “probably” the Delta variant, the Director of Public Health, HSE Midlands has said.
Via RTÉ:
Dr Una Fallon said it became apparent over the weekend that there was a cluster of cases associated with socialising by the River Shannon on Friday 11 June.
Speaking on RTÉ’s Morning Ireland, Dr Fallon said this was not necessarily unusual, but that public health experts had been investigating a travel related incident and were screening for the Delta variant.
As a result, some of the cases belonging to the 11 June gathering were sent for Delta screening as well.
Dr Fallon said there are 14 primary cases and that each of these cases has further links in the community – such as home and work places.
Seems plausible.

So how do you ramp up fear narrative? Go on national media & make vague references to outdoor gatherings on longest river in Ireland & just tell people it's "probably" the Delta variant.
Is "probably" a new medical term for the diagnosis of COVID cases? https://t.co/eRhDLb0t9l
