1) A thread on Cutting Through Spin. @LeoVaradkar contacted @HSELive re the death of a teenager in Limerick hospital. Leo calls for inquiry & as a doctor, cautions us against jumping to conclusions about a death of a young girl left on trolley in an overcrowded, Emergency Dept.
So hope for a great sea-change
On the far side of revenge.
Believe that a farther shore
Is reachable from here.
Believe in miracles
And cures and healing wells.
Here’s to a better, safer 2022.
Athbhliain faoi shéan is faoi mhaise daoibh! Happy New Year!
@AodhanORiordain @AodhanORiordain I really think that teachers who would take the vaccine before anyone vulnerable/older are in the minority, if any. Ask any teacher would they take it before their parents got it maybe? The higher risk lies with those who are older/vulnerable. Simple as that.
While we await news about AZ
I just want to review the things that do cause clots.
Doing nothing (immobility)
Smoking
Getting COVID
Being female
Taking the OCP
Having a family history of clots
Having obesity
Being unlucky
Pregnancy
Lots of us tick lots of these boxes.
Not going to instantly make a huge change but over the moon to get it. And the sun is also shining in #Limerick. And I got a flat white ☕ #COVID19Vaccine#AGreatDay ☀️
The reality is that whatever Taoiseach, Tainaiste, Tony Holohan or NPHET say it’s on us now. It actually doesn’t matter what level your county is on. You need to do the same things. Limit your contacts, wear a mask, don’t congregate in crowded spaces inside.
Every now and again we get a reminder that life can be very short and very cruel. Complaining about the weather, and after watching that I feel very privileged for all I have. RIP. ❤ #RteNews
