In about six to 8 weeks this will be us in Ireland. Don’t wait to be told to #WearAMask
RT @DrEricDing: NYC is waking up — its #COVID19 hospitalizations are surging and now New York City issues mask advisory for all indoor public places, now warning that COVID-19 Alert Level is approaching “high”. Late as usual @NYCMayor. #CovidIsNotOver

If the dogs are detecting the virus in long haulers there MUST be reservoirs left in their bodies.

THIS! One of these. Of course the TDs get them free!
RT @WHO: #WearAMask that fits well & covers the nose & mouth without gaps on the sides is recommended when:

✅ Indoor with poor/unknown ventilation
✅ Indoor or outdoor where physical distance of at least 1m is not possible

regardless of vaccination status or history of prior infection.

Anyone who wants the Irish Government to exit their own delusional capitulation should read this. A virus does not understand wishful thinking. We can’t make deals with it.
In the meantime protect yourself and others by wearing one of these. Please. @ISAGCOVID19

RT @ShikhaJainMD: Yes. This is how I continue to grocery shop. With an N95 mask. Because #covid19 variants are highly transmissible, numbers are going up rapidly around the country, and I will do everything I can to avoid #LongCovid and protect my kids from exposures. #ImmunizeUnder5s

Over-65s in Ireland get your second booster. https://covid19booster.healthservice.ie/hse-self-referral/?flow=booster
RT @Bob_Wachter: Family Saga, Day 4:
@katiehafner: symptoms better, except metal Pax taste. "I've come to like taste; tells me it's working."
Me: feel fine, rapid test below. Odds improving; will get PCR today to be sure. For those trying to time 2nd boost, I gotta think my #2 (3 wks ago) helped.

Surely that won’t happen? At this stage that could be considered a breach of health and safety and indeed the Hippocratic Oath. Remember that? Do no harm.

Yes depressing. We need massive education campaign about ventilation filtration and adequate masks. Which will have to be subsidised I think. This is the time to do it. But bad vibes huh? What nonsense!

This will be here in Ireland in a few weeks. Reinfections from BA.1 and 2 are possible. This is NOT a drill. #WearAMask
I’m not sure we are prepared. @ISAGCOVID19
RT @Tuliodna: Clear signs of 5th wave in SA, the positivity ratio is as high as the previous 4 waves! Please take care and do not be fooled that a new variant is needed to cause a new wave, Omicron BA.4 and BA.5 are antigenic distinct from BA.1 as other variants were …

💥 Second booster adds significant protection. Over-65 in Ireland? BOOK NOW. In the over-30 section.
You can book five days in advance. They are giving Moderna which is slightly more efficacious. Booking link for @HSELive 👉https://covid19booster.healthservice.ie/hse-self-referral/?flow=booster

Does this explain at least some of the 9 out 10 people who have been infected in the UK? At least so e must have no idea they have been infected. Piece by @mroliverbarnes
