Could the recent Races in Listowel have the impact to the rise of cases, as well as the amount of students, coming back to MUT Tralee without being vaccinated as well as not taking enough attention to social distancing? I´d appriciate more accurate details about the current cases. Which age group is affected most? How many persons have been tested positive for COVID19 without vaccination and with vaccination?
Phil, why the fear?
I don’t get it, I blame the media who think they can control and censor what they want for their own agenda.
