I'll not moan about the Cheerios this year.

Was thinking this. Do you have to cook your own dinner as well?

Aye. Obligatory vaccinations from February. I don't like the sound of that tbh.

No Christmas dinner last year, you had to go up on your break and get a 'Christmas' sarnie and bring it back to your designated break room. Ho-ho-ho!

I just don't think anyone should be forced to have something injected into them if they really don't want it.

I don’t want getting a potentially lethal virus transmitted  by people rejecting necessary treatment.

 I am most times for respecting people’s freedom to make their own choices how stupid they might be. But this kind of freedom does have it’s limits as well when it does effect not only the freedom but lives of other people. That’s what happening to freedom rights all the time. Vaccine mandats aren’t something new either. Measles vaccinations became mandatory in Germany again because of too many people behaving unreasonably.

We have to get to the bottom of this pandemic and as far too many people are clinging to conspiracy theories and refusing to obey necessary measures then it’s tough luck for them if they have to face getting a 5g chip injected in their body.

How do you enforce it though. I assume not actively, but do it by excluding unvaccinated from public life and activities, like working in an office, shopping, or going to the pub? If you work at home and shop online I think you should be free not to have it.

Even in Germany I can see that causing massive problems. There's simply no way we have the capacity to enforce that here.

Eh? Is that not what it’s been the last 4-5 months like?

[Dr Gloom 24085]

I’ll be honest, I gave up looking at the daily numbers a few months back but that doesn’t appear to be anything untoward

Cases are on the rise again. Pretty much ever since you turned up telling us they'd been falling for successive weeks and the pandemic was over.

Ireland introduces new COVID restrictions

Michael Martin, the PM of Ireland, has confirmed the country will reintroduce some coronavirus restrictions ahead of the Christmas period.

New limits on the hospitality sector follow "very stark" advice from the chief medical officer Dr Tony Holohan, he said.

Under the latest rules, nightclubs will close until 9 January.

Table service only will return to bars, with a maximum of six people per table permitted in restaurants.

Mr Martin said the Omicron variant risks sparking a "very serious crisis" in Ireland.

"The risks associated with proceeding into the Christmas period without some restrictions... is just too high," he added.

"My message this evening is a difficult one...  I understand and I share the disappointment and frustration this will cause for many of you."

However, Mr Martin insisted: "This is not about going back to the days of lockdowns."

Troops ending the week on a high. 

[ewerk 33770]

Table service should be mandatory at all times regardless of covid.
