Relaxation of Restrictions, Part XI *Read OP For Mod Warnings*

99 in people in our hospitals with COVID out of a country of 5 million...

We should be a lot more ambitious than this. But unfortunately we know who is calling the shots in Ireland, and it isn't MM. He's bottling it as usual.

No thanks. If you are vulnerable by all means wear your mask, limit your interactions and what not during flu season but this idea of forcing healthy people or those at minimal risk from minor illness to treat themselves and everyone else as a potential plague carrier needs to end.

its just basic manners to not pass on your germs and sickness to others. nothing wrong with it.

Do colds and flus never spread in Asia then due to these miraculous paper masks? Pretty sure their stats on seasonal illness are exactly the same, if not worse (an awful lot of pandemic flus and other viruses seem to originate in that area) than the rest of the world.

Yeah the fear of the 'variants' molded into his mind

What's the plan if there are cases from these trials events ?. The UK had 15 cases from there ones, the authorities here could ****e themselves as usual and will want 0 cases

What's wrong is the idea that we should suddenly start treating minor and generally harmless illnesses as though it's the black plague.

As I and others have said, it's actually beneficial for your immune system to be exposed to and fight off such things.

But if you're one of the very small percentage of the population who are at actual risk from the flu then by all means mask up and distance if it makes you feel safer.

Hmm wait a minute.. I'm having deja vu here...

Right there we have the 3 worst "leaders" this country has seen yet.

- the man who would be Taoiseach so he wouldn't be the odd one out, but that's as far as he thought

- the man who constantly promotes himself and lives by his twitter account. If it's about someone else's department or he thinks it'll further his profile he'll be all over it

- the man who lives in a fantasy world and whose party is propping up yet another failing Government so they can push their ideological agenda that will make things worse for almost everyone

What a country we live in!

The Chinese wear masks because of the filthy air quality. Saying it's for stopping the spread of a cold is laughable

Surprised Ryan has blamed the covid on the turfcutters, after all he wanted wolves back in Killarney !
Wouldn't let him run a bath

The one from peaches cafe saying her business needs office workers back in the city or they wont last.

She needs to change her business model. Just because her business is not doing well doesn't mean her business is more important than the local businesses doing well with people working from home.

Still a little luke warm looks like, Paul Cullen from the times seems to be the only one that ever asked hard questions, I enjoyed him getting under that clown Paul Reid skin at HSE press (spin) conferences

Ah now Micheal. I think the taxi protest in Dublin yesterday would suggest your good meeting was anything but.

One quote I heard on the news was that he was unprepared for the meeting and had nothing really to say.

Can't say I'm surprised.

Sure what other country in the world can you get a government minister ACTUALLY falling asleep in the job TWICE. it's hilarious but anyway yet again we are the slowest crowd in Europe. Slowest with outdoor dining, indoor dining etc etc .... I actually think this has michael martin s stamp all over it, the most cautious minister/taoiseach we ever had. His record as health minister minister speaks volumes, he was partially responsible for created the bloody HSE ffs yet he gets the main job. Unreal

A few might like to go in 1 or 2 days a week but in general the working at home for a lot of industries works grand

That's some caution for those test events and a bit puzzling when you consider from early this month 200 has been attending Mass indoors in the basilica in knock.

Don't forget though you can have 4000+ at any time as long as you dress it up as a protest for something that it wouldn't be politically expedient to criticise

I saw them wear masks in rural Ireland years ago. hardly because of the air quality.

Let them, again so long as it's not mandated by law.


Which is a genuine concern.

Nope, but like most normal people I get on with it for a week or so and I'm grand then for up to a year.

It's never once occurred to me that I should treat it as the plague. Why would it? It's an inconvenience but harmless to the vast majority of people.

This is what some seem to have forgotten. Life isn't a bubble.

Most people do this with masks.
