Still here. Interested in using Logsec to write here. Will check it out more.

Let's be patient and see what the evidence is. The media and the markets will always overreact.

So here we are again with over 600 in
hospital and over 100 in ICU. The media is mentioning that the Cabinet will look at extending covid certs and antigen testing. The reality is that with so many hospitality venues not checking for covid certs, this not going to resolve the problem. It won't bring numbers down to the point where the health service is not under so much pressure.
#It would seem to me that the solution is to a) put the brakes on hospitality again and b) strongly recommend working from home.

We have all had enough but Covid isn't done with us, despite very high vaccination rates.

Google emails to say...."Manage your Business Profile on Google Search and Maps It’s now even easier to view insights, edit your profile, and reply to customers." Nope. we're not creating more content for you to sell ads against Google. We prefer using our site our platform.

A National Retrofit plan is all well and good, but at the moment it's difficult to get someone to just service a gas boiler. The country is going to need an ambitious training programme so that we have enough people to actually implement it.
#
Is there any point in continuing to use the Covid Tracker App? I haven't seen any reference to it for months by the health authorities. Looking at it right now half way through the days shows that less than 50,000 have checked in. With Covid now becoming endemic, is it time to delete the app?
#16:00 and getting dark already.

The fact that Waterford has both the highest vaccination rate in the state plus the highest covid rate per 100k population should mean that we proceed with the utmost caution. As we remember from last year, this is not the time of year to get it wrong.

One thing I really like about using Drummer is being able to have a links tab separate from the blog.
#
If numbers are going up and the Government are intent on continuing to open, there are two things we need to do. First, maintain the covid pass for all indoor hospitality and second, make vaccination mandatory for everyone in healthcare. Anything less will cause chaos between now and Christmas. We don’t want to go backwards at this stage.

Added the feed from here to micro.blog. Testing. While on another tab entering the world of EU passenger locator forms.
#Having trouble figuring out how to add a links tab via Radio3.
#An essay by Rory Stewart,
The Last Days of Intervention, is quite thought provoking. One of these days, I will read his book on walking across Afghanistan, The Places in Between.

It's pretty quick to add a note here and publish. No friction if you just want to write something quickly. And I do like the published page. Is this the beginning of the end or the end of the beginning?
#I have no idea what I'm doing but interested to try it out.
