How long can we afford the current lockdown?

We can’t, our kids will pay for it

I don't know who Paddy Cosgrove is, never heard of him before, cannot be bothered to google him as I get the impression from yiz all that he is a bit of a prick. But reading this thread is like a litany of his name, repeated again and again. Can we leave him alone now, the bollox. Please.

On a different note I saw some celeb on some online newspaper being described as a "quarantine icon". Not because she was helping or anything, I think, but because she was being preppy and glamorous on Instagram or something, in spite of it all. Jesus, we are a vacuous civilisation.

Can you imagine it in July ? with 35C heat outside and trying to keep people away from the beaches ?

Not to mention next summer 2021 ....

f*cking sh!tshow, the whole thing ...

A summer of lockdown in a Mediterranean country would be hell on Earth. Especially for those who live in apartments.

A lockdown until we have low numbers is the best economic solution, it's not a question of affording it.

Article in the guardian stated that a 6.4% shrink in the economy is the equilibrium, they conducted a study last week in the UK

There is so much false information being put out on social media, you then have people who forward on this information as fact. You have to question the agenda of a lot of people. Do they want to spread fear or misery or chaos, do they hate particular organisations or do they want to bring other people down to their level?

For many, it's all three.

Add to that the heatwaves in Europe last year killed thousands

Cosgrave should never have put out that tweet last night. It probably freaked relatives of medical staff out and made it look like the govt and HSE are involved in a massive cover up.

If a person works entirely alone at a workshop 20mins from their home, is this allowed? It's small scale manufacturering but not essential.

He's stirring it every day on Twitter and won't back down. He's not being name checked here over something he said two weeks ago : every day he's coming out with new attacks on the Govt and HSE (he's been posting in the last few minutes).

If people stopped reading his tweets then his tweeting would be pointless.

Probably not but it's not against the spirit or intentions of the guidelines if you're working alone.

do you need forums permission ? if it keeps you going and sane work away, makes no difference to anyone.

I saw Leo's face when he was sitting beside Trump. I definitely got a hint of disgust from his face when he was sitting beside Trump.[/QUOTE]

I thought it serious error of judgement for Leo to go to USA.

Just hearing about people being turned around and sent home by guards. I can't find any information about this type of work so thought I'd ask here. Will keep going until told otherwise I suppose.

Do people think restrictions will be gradually lifted on a regional basis?

Nah we'll pay for it - government in, emergency budget - hefty 'carbon/ solidarity' tax on carbon products. Kill two birds with one stone.

Why do people expect bank current account services to be free?? I don't expect my gas or electricity to be free. I haven't heard other services providers being asked to suspend charges.

No as people will just travel to unrestricted areas. Its an all or nothing scenario

The 4 weeks is significant as it is the point where they say it begins to stop working working so effectively through public fatigue with the measures.

I would think someone working away on their own wouldn't be in breach of any restriction. The only issue would be the 2km limit, but it would hardly be the end of the world if they went outside the limit to do this work.
