    85,000 deaths.

    Keelings bringing in Plane loads of cheap labour while we are not allowed travel 5km from our homes.

    €9 magical meals.

    Flatten the curve.

    Filthy face nappies everywhere.

    Cash will kill you newspapers are fine.

    Golf gate.

    RTE leaving bash.

    Anti lockdown protests will spread the virus BLM protests won't.

    Dail bar sill open.

    Guards immune from deadly virus and do not require filthy face nappy.

    Phill Hogan.

    People from the six counties and our newest ethnic minority free to move everywhere.

    Magic vaccine developed in record time predicted by so called tin foil hat nuts deemed safe for the population but masks still must stay.

    Sprits wines beers fags and lotto tickets can be sold but shirts for a funeral on the banned list.

    Compliant morons with mask around their chin half the time are fine but people with genuine medical grounds for not wearing this filthy rag face harassment.

    People paid to tell us to holiday in Ireland jet off to Spain.

    I sure there is loads more feel free to add.

    Drink only pubs allowed to open inside for a few weeks and then those with outside facilities for almost a month more and cases remained steady.

    Yet in my county 90% of the cases one week were in one nursing home; my dad being one of them.

    Pubs closed a few days after his funera (I like to think he was chuckling at me freezing my t**s off giving him a socially distanced send off!) - and cases level since.

    Almost like pubs have no effect on numbers eh ?

    You should see what it's like here in the UK. I was gobsmacked walking around my hometown and saw everyone wearing masks. Here there are signs everywhere with few paying heed.

    I feel it is about time a politician campaigning on an anti social media platform runs for election to challenge data protection and the regulatory environs in which some of these companies exist.

    The dangers have been very evident in the past few years.

    You do understand the meaning of "worst case scenario", don't you? Thankfully, despite a lot of people's best efforts to not adhere to some simple rules regarding masks, social distancing, hand washing, etc., enough people have done so to avoid that worst case scenario, or anything even close to it.

    Or that maybe one example isn't every example?

    In the couple of weeks the pubs were open I know of 3 clusters of at least half a dozen that coincided with groups who had met in a pub. Pretty sure none were identified as clusters because they weren't the kind of people to use contact tracing.

    You clearly dont though

    It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.

    It will go on for as long as people let it. Those that adhere to the guidelines that change every 5 minutes aren't looking at those in Government golfgate or those in RTE (staff parties).

    It really is insane. That lunatic Luke O Neill saying people need to bring their own dishes at Christmas and stick Grandpa by a window so presumably he dies of pneumonia and not to pass gravy.

    Seriously anyone going along with this shyte now is hoodwinked beyond belief. The guidelines are nonsense and not adhered to for even one second by the people ramming it down your throat.


    It's time to live. What's the point in being alive if you merely exist? Hell people in prison aren't treated with such contempt as us now.

    The politicians rely on these platforms, so barely even see the danger, never mind being able to even exist without them.

    It really is a being a cnut twice over - once for not bothering to wear a mask and the secondly adding to the stigma associated with mental health making it more difficult for those with genuine mental health problems (i.e. increasing the likelihood of being called out in public for not masking etc).

    I grew up with the philosophy that you shouldn't talk about anything with confidence unless you've done your home work. Sadly, most people don't live by the same philosophy. They read headlines, conclusions to studies, and treat these things as hardcore facts without ever even understanding how these "facts" were reached.

    “The man who lies to himself can be more easily offended than anyone else. You know it is sometimes very pleasant to take offense, isn't it? A man may know that nobody has insulted him, but that he has invented the insult for himself, has lied and exaggerated to make it picturesque, has caught at a word and made a mountain out of a molehill--he knows that himself, yet he will be the first to take offense, and will revel in his resentment till he feels great pleasure in it.”- ― Fyodor Dostoevsky, The Brothers Karamazov

    The rise, fall and rise of masks in 2020 has been something. They don't work, don't buy one. Also we're desperate for this Aer Lingus flight to bring some from China. Oh thank God we have them! Oh but they don't fit... Also general public not wearing them for a good three months of the height of the pandemic. But then they were announced to work, so we all put one on while shopping but threw distancing out the window. Having a jumper pulled over your face allows protection for when leaning over someone in the frozen isle to get your precious fishfingers.

    We do know about weight and its relation to corona... has there been the slightest effort over the past nine months to get the country's lard-arses in shape?

    The hyperbole of whiney boys who try to mask their weakness with macho hubris. Can't wear a mask, can't not get pissed in the pub, can't be conscious of their responsibility. Weak people, bitching and moaning endlessly, thats all I see in 2020. People always looking for the easy way out and the solution of least resistance for them.
