Re: Rugby NAMA thread Revisited Rugby
Viruses mutate. It's what they do.
To date the pharma companies that developed the vaccines have said that they work for the mutated viruses as well.
That's not to say that there won't be a mutation that will need a completely new vaccine. But there have been none to date that we know of.
Anyway : 1378, 23.

Is Ryan not a neuroscience professor?
How has he a voice about something like a virus on national media?
I'm as qualified as him to comment on it

George Lee missed his calling working as an undertaker in a funeral home. Imagine all that misery and grief day after day. He'd have his knob worn down to a stump within a week.
So long as he isn't caught knocking one out over a coffin though. That's just bad manners

Re: Rugby NAMA thread Revisited Rugby
Well the media are certainly supporting zero covid if the 9 o’clock news is anything to go by. The government are now being pressurised into doing what even Brexit could not do, establish physical border checks with Northern Ireland. They can’t of course, but it’s another stick to beat the government with. They’re damned if they and damned if they don’t. You’d almost think the numbers weren’t coming down at a rate of knots.

We need to block variants coming into the country
What we're doing now will go on in perpetuity unless we at the very least protect against variantsbatshit
EU stops incoming travel into the EU
UK and Ireland enforce the CTA to non EU travel. Re introduce visas travel for tourist purposes temporarily. Then we can control what comes in to the country.
What we do within the country whether we go zero covid or rolling lockdowns is another discussion.
We need to sort incoming international travel otherwise what we're doing is a waste of time.
There is absolutely no acknowledgement a vaccine exists, and no description of how normal life can resume, while living with the threat. No doubt they also offer no criticism of the slow roll out of the vaccine. These people are dangerous.
If we constantly do our bit only to have more imported cases, then it's a waste of time
As the ECDC have stated, once the virus is endemic, travel is irrelevant. If there is a mutant strain, it will get in here. Because even if we banned flights essentially. we have lorries coming in from all over Europe. All it will do is buy some time.
Reduced flights will lead to supply chains being hit, as the ban on UK visitors over Christmas showed. If we go hardcore and ban lorries, we will have empty supermarket shelves. And that will go on for weeks and weeks, it is totally unsustainable.

Re: Rugby NAMA thread Revisited Rugby
ffs you gave 2 fingers to the experts by going to the hotbed of global Covid - as stats pointed out the testing you did doesn't necessarily mean you didn't risk brining back the South African covid ;, to compare that to someone that went to someone's house and exceeded the visitor quota is just delusional ; own it and stop telling everyone they're cnuts for questioning the experts

I see a big mental health drive going on as people now just feel hopeless. Nothing to do with NPHET saying this could go on for another year and Micheál just being Micheál. I was talking to a lad in HR today and he made a point I hadn't thought about too much in relation to younger people. You have the nerdy types who don't have a huge number of any friends so their social outlets are in work. It's completely gone and a good few are falling apart.

So Mary Loud claims that it's up to our Government to "use its influence with the NI Executive" to stop travel into NI.
That's the same NI Executive that her party co-leads. Obviously she has lost Michelle O'Neill's phone number.
How she can be allowed spout this crap without challenge is beyond me.

I literally haven't met any of my friends in person since I came home. Plenty of quiz or games nights online, which I'm grateful for. Although a good chunk of that gang are abroad anyway, so I wouldn't be seeing them in person.
I spent March-June (including my birthday) sitting on my tod looking forward to coming home and re-starting things with the missus who I'd been living apart from. That went to shit and I came home anyway cuz I'd got a good job. In another scenario I'd have been meeting my friends and (hopefully) shagging anything with a pulse and clearing the head.
Instead I've snagged a new missus (who is class), but doing nothing else outside of work. Can't imagine how isolated people who WFH without other outlets feel.

A friend of mine started working over the summer for a Huawei subsidiary based in Dublin. Once they were kicked off Google platforms, they had to recruit heavily to support their own products, since they no longer have access to Android etc.lilyw wrote: ↑Mon Jan 25, 2021 1:48 pmIt can be even worse that that.

In a year, the subsidiary company has gone from like 50 employees to around 150, last I heard. None of those new hires have been into the office or met their colleagues in the flesh.
Another friend works as a software dev for a financial services MNC and noted that people who'd been in the company for a while took to remote working much more quickly than those who hadn't met everyone yet. Particularly when it came to working with people in overseas offices. Without the rapport and familiarity built up by actually travelling to large company conferences and meetings, productivity was way down.
