If 10,000 Irish people die, so what the economy be back on it's feet etc? Have i summarized that correctly?

I went out the other day at 6.30 am and I still came across people, one of whom turned a corner and coughed right in my face. Also saw a jogger spit on the pavement a few metres in front of me. Going outside in any capacity is extremely stressful, not relaxing in the slightest, and I do what I need to do and get back inside as soon as possible. My original comment was that I'd love to go for a proper walk in the countryside, get some proper fresh air, and you're here claiming I can do that, which is utter bollix. To do that I'd need to take a train somewhere, which I can't do. For someone who claims to have lived in cities, you sure don't seem to have much of a grasp of what a poor, crowded inner city area looks like.

My elderly neighbours have had the kids and grandkids over, teens are out kicking football in the nearby park and the car parks and aisles of the local shop are busy with people catching up with one another. It's clear that people are getting a bit tired of the current nonsense. It's time for the Govt. to start planning for the easing of restrictions or the people will make that decision for them. We're putting our lives on hold flushing our futures down the toilet to keep a few bedroom-dwellers happy - time to get real.

lainey_d_123 wrote: » No, you just can't understand what you read. I've said all along that the lockdown should continue for the next few weeks until the peak is well past, then things should gradually reopen slowly and cautiously with social distancing, with things very gradually getting back to something approaching 'normal' towards the end of the year. We cannot stay in lockdown indefinitely. It's honestly not that hard to understand.
Ace2007 wrote: » It doesn't have to be deadly to children, for it to increase the cost of insurance. Insurance costs are through the roof already. It's clear as day there are medical/ethical reasons why the government national response to provided healthcare workers children with creches hasn't taken off yet - the risks are very high. If your child was in a creche and picked up the virus and ended up in hospital you would be furious and wanting to know how this happened etc. There are hundreds of claims each year if not thousands, a virus in a creche could lead to that creche and owner going out of business.
