    Sanitised hands. Be grand. No issue.

    It’s crazy the people who want civil liberty to be abandoned and want the state to step in to police the streets, shut down public gatherings etc.

    Yeah crazy, not like there's an unprecedented public health emergency going on or anything.

    I live here in Seville and the Spanish government are locking down everything from 8.00 monday morning. We can only go out alone to go to the supermarket, go to the petrol station and go to the pharmacy. Can't go out and do exercise either. It will be interesting here in my neighbourhood to see if they will obey as it's very poor here and the people don't give a ****e. Can see the police patrolling and giving people fines. I completely agree with the measures taken by the Spanish government.

    Simon Haris has just been critical of the pub video.

    Has he forgotten he's in charge and force the pubs to close. Idiot.

    Unfortunately it's a balancing act. We saw what happened after Leo's speech on Thursday with places getting ransacked. They're hoping that they can get the message across within instigating panic. Looks like the time might be passing for it though.

    Nope not BS at all
    Zero deaths Under 30 in Italy

    Zero

    Fair enough, though that was when they only had about 1,000 deaths. Young people tend to hang on a lot longer, it took months to kill some Chinese doctors, which included a 34 year old without any obvious existing conditions.

    This is aside from the permanent lung damage and testicle damage it can do. The idea that you're either recovered or dead is a false dichotomy. It can be pretty nasty to get regardless.

    Reminder also that Italy are operating a triage situation where they're allowing the elderly to die in order to favour young people, as is done to some extent in all countries - that's clearly going to skew the numbers a bit.

    This country hasn't the discipline to deal with this I fear. Too many idiots.

    Weeks ago everyone talked about how Italians can't do this or that.

    I think the whole Europe is the same.

    People just won't do what they are told.

    Can't even stand those pricks at work who can't wait for the business to be closed so they can do whatever they want like it is ****ing holidays.

    Topic number 1 of course how we gonna get paid. Sure they must pay us.

    Sure they must do this or that, yet none of them are doing what they are told to. Useless brainless individuals who just care about themselves. Nothing else.

    Imagine your into the 14th hour of a 24 hour shift in a&e because you give a **** about what's going on and some fat headed ignorant cnut comes in and says I think I got it in a pub from a fellas on Saturday night.

    Agreed, I have some libertarian beliefs, but sadly we need the state to intervene here.

    Even ignoring the health risks, are any of these people not aware many of their jobs could be on the line? I'm a little concerned about mine and I could not justify spending money on pints ffs.

    His tweet was for likes and praise.

    *I am playing devils advocate on this thread, I am someone who sees both sides but the hysteria found here seems to be completely at odds with the rest of the population where a I live. South Dublin btw

    Are you not having people clearing out the shops in Dub then?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,639 ✭✭✭completedit


    So Harris and Co. Left the pubs open for what reason? If everyone acted in a socially responsible way, they would be empty anyway. So just assume people will act responsibility and close them. Logic.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 776 ✭✭✭Clarence Boddiker


    What I don't understand is that so many people are (rightly) concerned about pubs and clubs staying open yet have no issue with the multitude of flights landing here all day long, many from affected areas. Makes no sense..

    This is nonsense. The government needs to act by way of law and decrees, not by moral pressure.

    It does. But isn't a pity we are still so socially immature as a society that it has to be done that way.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 25,020 ✭✭✭✭pjohnson


    They just gave him a reason to shut down the whole country, and he's dead right in what he said. Insult to all those workers who have to leave their loved ones to stand at the coal face of this virus.

    Possible that some of them won't come back, some of them will bring the very thing they are fighting back into their homes.

    I am angry at the people who cannot seem to wrap their heads around the seriousness of this, yes it was a slow approach but a lot of people here saw this coming after Christmas.

    I am angry because of the people I love with all my heart who might not make it with their lives and those who will but will end up forever changed emotionally and mentally.

    People taking the piss and not taking any precautions gives a two fingers to everyone who is doing their best to get us all through this and out the other side.

    I would love if every inbred fúcktard in that video had their face snapped and if they ever presented anywhere with symptoms they were immediately just locked in a empty room until the virus ran its course. Dont waste a single resource (beside the completely empty room) on them and don't let them back into society.

    Not even to exercise ? I know cornavirus is a physical issue but what about the mental health of people ? Not even a walk just to stretch the legs ?

    I suspect it is a lot closer now.

    Yeah, about time someone brought the flights issue up!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,020 ✭✭✭jackboy


    Italy stopped flights from China in January.

    How is that working out for them?

    Italy have infected half the world since then. So yes, flights from Italy should have been banned long ago.

    Take advantage when you go to the supermarket, you can also go to a hairdressers as strangely enough they are one of the places that are also left open. But then again this is conflicting as they say you can only go out for something that's necessary, i don't think getting your hair done is something essential haha

    Just got a photo from my mate. He was also out last night and again tonight. Picture of his pint and shot at the bar in a pub in town. Saying getting pissed. This guy works in a nursing home. Id love to report him to the nursing home. Disgrace.

    It gives them something to whinge about. They would love to shut down the whole show without considering the effects of such a move.
    We can only play with the hand we are dealt, fact is most people are going to get it, its just a matter of managing as best we can the amount that have it at any given time. You can bet your ass the subsequent recession will be even worse for most people.

    You need to be across the pond for that.
