Not to mention Iceland's study

What happens in the parcel gets lost in postage - her family far away will not get it - pick up the phone and face time or Skype - that' more personal than sending a parcel, - what if the delivery person on the other side has the virus and passes onto her family? Most bank holidays we see road deaths - i'm hoping this year we don't, but what would be worse if an innocent person loses their lives on our roads, because someone wanted to do something that wasn't essential...

And you are getting worse, you have gone now to claiming it's a grand conspiracy. Get off the net, read a book, go for a short walk (you can go 1.2 km and back, look out the window. Do something and stop spouting shtye. BTW remember how you used the example of my wife's cousin (ex ICU nurse who volunteered at hospital near her new home) earlier as pointer to how everything was ok with ICU, well she is starting Monday. Ah but sure you fooking know best, the ICUs are fine for space and for staff. Sure isn't it all a conspiracy to keep you from single handedly saving the economy. :rolleyes: Forget trying to reason with some around here. Some seem to think we can have a functioning economy despite this pandemic. Or else they couldn't give two sh**s and just don't want the inconvenience and the economy is just a pretense.

On the other hand if you convince people something is bad enough, they will beg for protection at all costs. That’s what’s happening, people are so utterly petrified from the media whipping up a storm that they genuinely believe it is worth crippling the economy long term to prevent pain in the short term. They can’t see the wood from the trees with Covid. The wood form the trees will be quiet clear when social welfare benefit is cut and the health care budget is halved.

Thelonious Monk wrote: » Even if we opened everything up tomorrow, the economy is still a basket case with no one wanting to go out, and the rest of the world being in shutdown. This isn't solely down to the Irish Government's approach to the situation, it's a global economy and a global problem, so whatever we do here won't make much of a difference anyway, our GDP will be way down and unemployment skyrocketing.

The biggest problem here if you ignore the lack of testing is despite being aware of the most at risk demographic from the Italian experience our CMO railled at the nursing homes restricting visitors. The homes should have closed no visitors and no contract staff moving between homes. Now you do know where the majority clusters and deaths have occurred I take it?
