Hope you are proud. Frontline workers putting their own lives on the line and people the ilk of yourself giving them 2 fingers. I'd say what i really think of you but i'd get banned and i won't give you that.

The good doctor is very careful with his choice of words but i think we all know what he thinks of the people who arent putting their shoulder to the wheel for ireland, a right bunch of asshats who are ruining it for us all.

So people are driving to these drinking sessions? And driving home as well I suppose? Would make sense. Drink driving during a pandemic when there are more Garda checkpoints would sum up their mentality perfectly.

By your reckoning there will be no. Ore drug addiction in Ireland after this lockdown. They will all have detoxed over the past 4 weeks. Oh happy days!

You linked too much together there, there's plenty of people that live within walking distance of pubs.

You mentioned ‘on the roads’ And ‘driving’. Hard not to read anything other than they are driving to their destination from that.

I'd believe it tbh, you can get most things on the quiet. The ever increasing numbers of people on the roads aren't all driving to supermarkets or around in circles.

Of course people care about people mental health and the economy (there own jobs) but they also care about not letting this get out of control and another lockdown having to be done.

As for people mental health there is loads someone can do. Ring people, plenty of apps to facetime, Skype, of there with your 2km radius give them a wave and hello through the window.

I be concerned about domestic violence also but again people can help by reporting anything they hear or see

Agreed on domestic violence. Was talking to an A&E doctor a few weeks ago and at that time he said he had seen 3 women present with broken jaws

So primary schools are going back, every student, rammed into overcrowded classrooms, from June, yet leaving cert students, probably the only group of kids who actually *need* to go to school don't go back till July despite the school sitting there empty? Sure...

Just read between the lines with primary schools. It is all about glorified baby sitting. Will be dressed up as education and the mental health of the children but really it is about baby sitting.
Not sure what the parents think is going to happen in July when they have to look after their children again as there won't be any summer camps this summer to provide child minding for them.

what you describe happened every day before this lockdown
the courts were full of people not following the law and not seeing a day of jail over it.

No.
They’ve admitted it’s not in the community. R0 close to zero. No community spread in a fortnight. We’ve done all we can do and now they’re moving the goalposts because they’re still flappping around, deferring real decisions for more weeks. Harris is probably reading up Wikipedia on the previous 18 Covids....

All this bleating about people becoming complacent and “stay the course” is a smokescreen for their complete cock ups in nursing homes, farcical testing cock ups and the PPE equipment fiasco.

People are being told they can't see their families and friends, they're being told they're losing their jobs and businesses, that they're not allowed to earn an honest living, they're being interrogated and searched at checkpoints, and this is being orchestrated by people who come out with rubbish about 18 previous Covids.

Temperature checks are impractical for shops. They would have to get the equipment (which according the the New York Times are notoriously inaccurate https://www.nytimes.com/2020/02/14/business/coronavirus-temperature-sensor-guns.html), learn how to use it properly, and have a staff member stand right in front of everyone's face to use it. Social distancing is more practical, readily achievable and safer.

The original list was so vague that lots of businesses didn't know if they could stay open or not, and this will be even more confusing. They also give **** all notice to allow businesses to plan.

The lockdown Nazis were warned there would be real and serious repercussions
I hope you feel the same pain and humiliation people like this are feeling
As I said before to hell with you all

Financial institutions have always acted like cretins. They are exploiting a public health emergency which is beyond reprehensible. Not the fault of the restrictions, the bank chose to act that way.

Joey the lockdown merchants come across as really odd on here Especially the corkconian chap who seems really bitter
I am just back from an awful session
Publican had a lock in for a few of us
Heap of pints and whiskey
I have always lived my life by the principle
You don’t tell me what the **** to do and I won’t tell you what the **** to do
Simple but I like it

I don't tell anyone what to do. The laws of the country are there for good reason. If we all picked and chose what laws we want to follow and which ones we don't the we would have anarchy.
