I went on an absolute rampage on them last night and regret it now. They’re showing compassion now and helping the Italians out, that’s all we can ask at this stage.

Great bunch of lads.

Wait for the LLS on Friday and guess what...(not like they've never done it before)

Not so, they did it without an audience during the bad snow in '18

Now they're going to do it without an audience for the next 2 years!

I know and I get it, but I realized we’re better putting energy into our great little nation and save the blame towards them for another time.

Can we do this?

Europe decided economics over health (feels like that anyway - efforts taken seem to be looking to normalise this virus - i dont understand why the taoiseach would comment on potential numbers infected in Ireland - numbers quoted were so high that some have resigned to the fact that they will contact this); unfortunately where China/Sth Korea/Taiwain are looking to eradicate this virus - we are looking to stall for a vacine, but what happens in Nov when we dont have vacine ready and we are hit with 2nd wave of this thing

Who are our goverment advisors? What was the thinking - a western society will not be able to contain this so we wont try; optically, up until last week, very little being said at an EU level, in deed we have Trump saying its just a flu

- Decision to cancel parade - I genuinely believe the only reason our goverment moved to do this was because councils and the public demanded it and were taking actions into there own arms
- Private nursing homes took decisive action on Friday to prevent the virus getting into their homes to prevent clusters of deaths of their residents as seen in the US/Italy. This was a difficult decision to restrict visitors but essential - yet even though there is evidence of community spread in the country - our national advisors have advised that this step was not recommended and should be rolled back on - you have to be kidding right - are we waiting for this virus to make its presence known in ireland with a serious spike in fatalities US style
- School closures - certain sch boards made the decision to close schools and told to reverse. Children can catch this virus, they can spread it, to reduce speed of spread - school closures will help now


Sorry rant over and yes i know lots of typos
