Vaccine booster didn't stop me getting it (maybe helped with the severity of it but not sure, i was worse than my wife and she hadn't been boosted when we both got it in March).  In the last weeks my daughter has had it (she somehow didn't get it when it entered our house in March), family members we were in direct contact for long periods of time have it but yet we are not picking it up. For me, the situation is really we should just boost older and sicker people and try protect them as much as possible. More healthy people probably just accept they will get a little sick once every 6 months (similar to getting cold once or twice a year).  A cold you say ? If you said that a year and a half ago you would have fallen into the conspiracy theorist bracket and been accused of negligence to your fellow public Andy. How times have changed.

Can't go up the stairs without losing my breath and general energy levels and levels of tiredness have been terrible. Can't shake it I had f**k all symptoms at the time as well. Horrible bastard of a thing

I don't they will do anything at the moment because it's already so prevalent at the moment, restrictions or additional controls like masks won't really help. But once this wave is over and looking ahead to the colder months when the hospitals are already going to be dealing with seasonal illness, would actually expect that there will be some measures brought in such as masks in public transport and the shops and work from home if you can. 

Citizens information has different advice than the HSE
