Ireland among European countries that lifted Covid measures too 'brutally', WHO says

Image: Leah Farrell Image: Leah Farrell SEVERAL EUROPEAN COUNTRIES, including Ireland, Germany, France, and Italy, lifted their Covid curbs too “brutally” and are now seeing a rise in cases likely due to the more transmissible BA2 variant, the World Health Organization has said.

According to the WHO database, the number of new Covid cases in Europe fell sharply after a peak at the end of January, but has been on the rise again since early March. “It was always expected that when restrictions were eased, that there would be an increase in infections. That will fall off over the next couple of weeks,” he said.

“In many ways, Covid-19 is replacing flu as the main winter virus that affects us during the winter and sometimes it is necessary to pare back or defer elective activities.Professor Luke O’Neill has said that the BA2 variant of Covid is much more infectious and is spreading more and more widely.Speaking on RTÉ’s Today with Claire Byrne, the immunologist said the variant, “a sister of Omicron”, could be “the most infectious virus we’ve seen”.

“The great news is that the wall of vaccinations is holding up massively all over the world and really is protecting us,” he said.

Yep

WHO are a corrupt joke 🤣

A rise in “cases” or a rise in injuries… if only media could do some honest reporting instead of incessant LIES!

Rag paper

Friendly reminder, we had the longest lockdown on planet earth.

This the same WHO that helped China cover up the pandemic for months to help China's economy to the point it was in Europe half a year before we realised?

Oh cut out the bull

They also brutally imposed the restrictions and kept them unnecessarily for too long. 2/5km nonsense, MHQ, fine for travelling to another county/country will not be forgotten.

Remember when the WHO told us '...hope I die before I get old...'? They've changed their feckin' tune.

Germany didn’t lift anything, everyone is wearing a mask and it’s currently the most restricted country in Europe by far.

Give it a rest 2 years under restrictions we are one of the most vaccinated countries its time to move on
