Welcome back flu… we missed you

Who cares
So desperate to sneak covid back on the charts, where was flu last year? Ahhh yes it was 'covid'😠
Why isn’t mask wearing being encouraged? It’s totally baffling. Such a simple thing that can help reduce this and protect people.
Shit. Better restrict everyone to a 5km radius and bring back 9 euro meals.
Imagine that, flu cases rising in winter, sure where would we be without our CMO !
Who would have thought the actions of the HSE in COVID would seed this? Oh yes the far right, anti vax, tin foil hats as they liked to label them Doctors silenced for this, jobs lost and yet here we are Excuses made but those who deserve IT are not vindicated
Where do you get off on this nonsense news. Pathetic
Ya I have it now. Caught off my thrice-vaccinated husband.
Who does Covid tests now ?
These new 2 week long flus are brutal
I feel for the vulnerable/elderly but what a PUSSY nation we are turning into...
We must lockdown getting terrifying now
And the old CMO appropriated and locked the CMO twitter account with +200K followers while the current CMO has 5k followers. Doesn’t matter if he had it before.
😢nasty dose of man flu 🤧 out there
No flu for two years and all of a sudden hey presto we have flu again, and we got the magical condition covid wee hee, would RTE BBC pensions be tied to pharmaceutical industries by any chance, of course they are, are BBC recieving millions from Gates of course they are
Flu went on hols in 2020 and 2021 .It’s almost as if Flu was counted as Covid so that Big Pharma could profit 😉
Remember when the flu mysteriously disappeared in 2020
For god sake , just end this,bring back the 9 euro pub food rule and let's finish covid once and for all.
