The ECDC has warned that they may cause increased virus transmission in Europe in the near future.remains broadly positive, “albeit we will need to continue to monitor developments with emerging variants over the coming weeks”.

‘First it finishes its Ukraine war before it gets its new pandemic

Please give it a rest it’s over

Take a fucking holiday .

The UKraine war must be due to end pretty soon so 😉 Virus BA.4 (go on!!) & monkeypox pox rinse & repeat, simmering & in all national media, getting ready for take off & a spectacular launch!! 🚀

But I thought we were supposed to be concerned about all the other variants of concern? 🤔

So booster season here again?

So, not one other reputable news source is going with the VoC headline. And any of the regular international experts are also not bothered about this. Seems like the IT is pineing for the days of covid clickbait and is desperate to spread some scaremongering.

Thanks for letting us know. Can’t have the public living their lives without a healthy dose of fear induced click bait ye pack of dogs

I told you wait until monkeypox and you didn't listen. Dr Cottrell was first to bring this to my attention.

Looks like people are not biting the Monkey Pox scare stories so you're reverting back to the trusted COVID news to garner headlines

Deja vu anyone

Ireland has the lowest IQ in Europe and the Irish Times comment section proves that time and time again.

The Department of Health must immediately shorten the time between boosters. 4 boosters a year must be at least 8 boosters a year. Shut schools, shut pubs, 5km restrictions to return. Just 2 weeks to flatten the curve. Come on people. We have this.

I love it they can report it accurately (STOP SPREADING FEAR) or decide it is not newsworthy (COVER UP) but they will never win. Straight factual reporting is all this is.

Who got it, who died from it. Or it just a slow week at the IT

Go do some real journalism Irish Times and stopping spreading fear

The Irish government are blind to this while covid is mutating aggressively, need a return of restrictions and mask use to save lives.

😱😱 lockdown
