Also anyone planning properly will not be leaving much in their will, it will be long transferred over while everyone is living.

Oh I just bet you have that all arranged, in your favor of course.

Be a damn shame if covid interrupted your plans before it was all signed over.

I have no idea of the point of these totally off topic nonsensical digs at me.

Indeed. Imagine having to explain to future generations that we failed to fight the pandemic effectively because a significant minority couldn't go a couple of months without a feed of pints.

I hope they judge us kindly.

Imagine having to explain to future generations that they have to pay tens of billions of our debt back because a load of hysteria-merchants were too scared to come out from under their beds all because of a virus that is harmless to the vast majority.

On a more serious note - has anyone been to Dublin city centre lately? My friend went yesterday and tells me its like a ghost town, is this true? Good few social welfare people out and about though, but seemed like unusually a lot of them.

Just worried Dublin may become new New York with the crime and poverty etc. Very worried as I live in Dublin north (that isnt a good area to start with)

I was in the cc today, just like a busy Tuesday, people shopping, having coffees, lunch, pints outdoors, it has not been burned to the ground yet.....

If only the hysteria merchants would kindly do that it would be fantastic.
Unfortunately they are everywhere, front and centre of all media attention and when they’re not they’ll be tweeting in faux outrage about one person they supposedly saw with a sacred mask down around their mouth “endangering lives”.
Covid virtue signalling has become an addiction that these fanatics aren’t too fond of letting go of

We’re reaching a critical point now. The next two weeks are crucial.

Yep and that's the biggest issue at this stage. They have beaten the "deadly virus" drum so much despite minimal hospitalisations and deaths in a country of 5 million that people have become not just desensitised to it now but increasingly angered by the impact the restrictions are having on their lives.

Have to agree here I got sucked into responding to that poster too and it's exactly what he wants.

Probably bored off his head so he comes into the relaxation of restrictions thread to wind everyone up telling us we need another lockdown and more restrictions because a few experts said so. While there are plenty of other experts that are being ignored because they aren't sticking with the doom and gloom narrative that is being pushed at the moment.

The sad thing is he probably won't be the last either more will pile in here as the cases rise and blab on about how we need to implement a level 5 national Lockdown.

He had me too until I remembered a post on a thread where he tried to argue it was ok to drink an alcoholic beverage and drive once you were under the limit. Says it all.
The rest of his claims I file under the Walter Mitty syndrome.

Well it is, saying it’s not makes you look like a fool to be honest. If you can point out exactly what law is broken or what is wrong with it in anyway then fire away I’m all ears.

You're grand lad I've indulged you enough. That gem earned you a thread ban from what I recall. Others might interact further with you but I know better now. Take care.

Agreeing with and abiding by expert advice and regulations and telling others to do the same during a deadly pandemic is now suddenly a terrible thing to have been brought up to do? Please, the nonsense on display in here is someting else.

They dont all have the dreaded runny nose.

Many are completely asymptomatic

Was here last night saying my 7 month pregnant daughter, her husband, their 15 month toddler and 60 year old mother in law (obese and unfit) all tested positive for Covid in the last week. No doctors, no hospital, no ventilators, all working from home, all up and about .....the worst symptoms for all of them are aches and pains and congestion (no taste or smell) . None of them have a cough .

Today the father in law (60) and sister tested positive , both as-symptomatic. NOBODY in a house of 6 has more than congestion and some aches and pains. All being treated with Lem Sip .

I honestly can’t believe people are calling for Dublin to go to Level 4 and the rest of the country Level 3.
Having positive cases does not mean people are sick anymore !!!

Good man, no come back to show a single thing wrong with the statement which you dragged into this thread even though it’s totally off topic. If you claim something is wrong with a statement you should really be able to back it up.

So it's ok for people to drink & drive once they are under the legal limit?

But it's not ok for an older person that has been cocooning for 7 months to go to the pub for some pints with a few mates?

I'd say your moral compass needs a serious adjustment.

The more this kind of anecdotal story spreads the tougher it's going to get for the government.

Losing that window where effective curative measures can still be taken quite rapidly.

Yep, I know a family of 5 that had it it too. Ages 20-60. One of them was a bit sick and tested positive so they tested the whole family, all positive.

The sick one was fine 2 days later and none of the rest even had a sniffle all the way through their 2 weeks in Isolation.

Everyone back running and exercising as normal now (barring the light loss of fitness from being cooped up for 14 days).

"Just a flu" comparisons really undersell the flu at this point.

I'm convinced that Asymptomatic people can't possibly be contagious, it makes no sense.
They must have somehow breathed in a bit of virus but beat it of at source, i.e. never become infected- but the PCR tests are so sensitive that they are picking up bits of dead virus in the airways...
