Y2K needs to be added to curricula worldwide since it's the perfect way of teaching this concept. "What a waste of money! Nothing happened at midnight!" is the exact same as saying "What a waste of money! ICU isn't even full!". Massive effort is sometimes required to avoid disaster.It's remarkable how grown adults cannot connect the dots and realise the problem was avoided. It seems that every successful proactive measure taken in the history of humanity has had some guy pipe up and say "Sure nothing happened! What was the point?!" while everyone else stands around awkwardly feeling sorry for his parents.

So yeah, I’d say the lockdown is his happy place

A lot of you sound like the same ****ing eejits that were calling for the likes of Morgan Kelly and David McWilliams to be "silenced" because they were "talking down" the economy back in 2008 when they correctly called the recession.

A lot of them are getting ready to reopen as well in some form, so cleaners in etc. This was fine for a couple of weeks but companies need to start getting people back in the office.

FintanMcluskey wrote: » The people who ignored them were the same ones who blindly listened to Bertie and co. The equivalent is today is following advice from unelected Dr's of Doom. Some of us have now, and had then , functioning brain cells to question the narrative we were given. We have 2 weeks of pointless restrictions now. Restrictions which are of no health benefit as of last week.

Maybe not that guy that you are talking about but its definitely happening. One pub near me is only closed in the sense that the shutters on the front are closed, the entrance at the back lane is open for regulars. I had a few pints myself on Thursday but the owner was strict about social distance and hygiene
