It is up to everyone to confront idiots now. People's lives are at stake. Chicken **** attitude has gotten us to a place where the scumbags do what they want.

I've had hassle/abuse because I call out people for littering, I have a pair so will continue doing it.

Well good luck with that. Don't forget to ask yourself what you're doing out as well.

Please dont take this as fact, just my logic based on the facts we know.

There is little recorded, detailed, scientific history on similar epidemics other that SARs etc. But we do know H1N1 Spanish flu (thought to originate from the UK/US) was far more deadly in the second phase once it had mutated. The first stage (pre-mutation) killed the old and infirm, but the second wave was indiscriminate young and fit alike, 10 times more deadly than the first.

The second wave arrived within 12 months of the first, and the only people who had immunity to the second wave were those who caught the first infection.

IF CV19 followed the same path, and IF a vaccine is 12-18 months away then, strange as it may seem, mathematically your best chance of long term survival is to catch this strain now, and get immunity.

That said we still dont know if immunity is a thing, as there has been talk of reinfection, or possibly is the reinfection a mutation ?

EDIT: This is NOT advice - its just maths, I am in lockdown and I follow gov advice.

Anyway NO ONE KNOWS, yet......

The elite are going to make serious money out of this. No vaccine three months later.

Care to explain this? how are the "elite" going to profit from this?

No the Irish media is posting online happiness about the TOOTHFAIRY still being able to visit kids so don't worry. You couldn't make it up. They have lost all credibility.

The Irish media can no longer talk to adults about adult topics to its resorting to to talking to the nations toddlers instead. Lets see if the toddlers of Ireland tell them to do one.

Children are people too and they have been just as badly affected as adults, especially the kids who’s parents are responsibly self isolating and not having play dates etc

It’s no harm to have something on the radio to reassure children given that it’s pretty much wall to wall misery the rest of the time

Sports Direct rebuked Boris' lockdown message yesterday....

This morning, they caved......closing down....

People need runners was their argument.....:rolleyes:

If people listened to your hair brained advice, which is a thinly veiled call for people to deliberately catch the ‘milder’ form of the virus now, there would be a massive spike in infections and many many more people would die

Your uninformed hypothetical speculation is the kind of nonsense that gets people killed

Empty ones.ya let non passenger ferry's in with goods etc

What about the cargo/passenger ferries?

mean gene wrote: »

Again it has to be stated flights full of potential virus carriers arriving in every few minutes in Dublin and not been checked. Wtf is the point of all these measures. Also ferry's coming in daily

I would be shocked if there hasn’t been a near collapse of passenger numbers with many passengers returning to where they live.

Also ferries are vital to supply chain. Things relating to food, medicine, medical equipment and supplies will have to continue to come in on flights and ferries.

Where is the 'interest maths' in your post?

Because they always do! I did see read somewhere that hedge funds are looking to target companies that come out of this badly.

What do you think this even means? Target?
