Relaxation of restrictions

Red Alert

Simon Harris curiously made a comment that there was a limit to how long people could put up with extreme level of restrictions as we currently have. Already we’re seeing in Italy that people are starting to get restless. So two big questions:

1) on Easter Sunday, do you think there will be further restrictions, no change with just an extension or some relaxation?

2) what will be the first thing rolled back?

My own guess would be: extension for at least 1 week. Then to allow some businesses like DIY shops to reopen, perhaps allow gatherings of 2/3 people, maybe a token increase on 2km.

I wouldn't rely on our Gemma for news if I were you. She was posting a video of people on Sheriff St the other day protesting against the Government by having parties on the streets. It was just a bunch of stupid knackers with no regard for authority however.

So she staged the video ? I can imagine traditional media not wanting to share it fir sure, might give people ideas ... varadkar has probably told rte what they can and cant report ....

Knock off the "?" and anything after it and it does. The page it links to has replies to her anyway.

Tell me how

Wouldn't put it past her to be using footage from the wall coming down in 1989 as evidence of social unrest in 2020.

Get the army on the streets and use force. Simple

The Irish armed forces won't violently suppress the Irish people and they definitely won't open fire on them.

We don't have the kind of blindly nationalistic armed forces that the US, UK and China do.

Also, think about how stupid it sounds to suggest using force when the purpose of a lockdown is to save lives.

I think some mods and even the owners of boards.ie should consider temporarily locking some Covid19 threads late at night. There seems to be a lot of rambling and drunken posting going on late at night reporting some pretty dubious and possibly inaccurate facts and figures.

Just something to consider lads, although it could be just an Easter weekend thing it seemed to get worse this weekend. A few times now it's 2 posters just forward and back at each other

After hours this is not

Get a grip of urself man, its a online forum...lockin threads cause people talkin nonsense... you d have 90% of boards locked

He also has a hundred odd billion in the bank to keep him going through the economic downturn.

He didn't do the research in a lab under his house. Up all night injecting monkeys and taking notes. .
He funds the research. Without the money the cures would not have been found. Very important but he didn't discover anything

Tell me how

You could argue that in todays world, no one really does anything if to qualify for having done so they must have done every single thing from start to finish.

Bill is obviously very intelligent, he has also spent a lot of time in funding and being involved in the conversation around infectious diseases. He is definitely capable of contributing to the conversation.

He wouldn't be doing the research though. He has no PhD in biology or what not. He is intelligent no doubt and has the cash but he won't be discovering anything

True but the Berlin Wall as the other poster pointed out. They saw hard times with that wall, people separated from each other families, friends. Came down in 1989 or 90

Bill Gates recommended at least 10 more weeks of lockdown two weeks ago. We should listen to the experts. Thackeray means at least eight more are required, and probably a lot more than that.

Bill Gates is an expert virologist now?!
