We have significant evidence from China, Italy nd other countries that restrictions are effective. Not sure why you chose to deny that tbh.

The numbers affected are divided across age ranges and include both young and old. And by that I mean affected and not just deaths. See my previous posts for details if you missed that.

End of life care should help you to live as well as possible until you die and to die with dignity. The people providing your care should ask you about your wishes and preferences, and take these into account as they work with you to plan your care. They should also support your family, carers or other people who are important to you. You have the right to express your wishes about where you would like to receive care and where you want to die. You can receive end of life care at home, or in care homes, hospices or hospitals, depending on your needs and preference. People who are approaching the end of life are entitled to high-quality care, wherever they're being cared for. Find out what to expect from end of life care.

One way to enforce the restrictions is to stop any type of social welfare benefit to anyone breaking the rules...why should 95% of people risk having these restrictions extended because of a bunch of anti lockdown restriction merchants?

FintanMcluskey wrote: » Thanks for that. One question, if the testing hasnt increased any near that level in nearly 3 months, how long will is it going to take to reach 100k tests?

One minister said the briefing had “no good news” with another describing it as “very grim”.Sources said Holohan indicated there would be no easing of restrictions tomorrow.

Everyone in the country is going to be screaming for funds that are just simply no longer available. The banks will need a bailout if too many go on pay holidays and can’t pay. The fallout will kill many more than Covid. I can see some serious carnage and chaos kicking off if things don’t change very soon. Possibly protests or just complete unrest and the gards won’t cope. We’re literally pissing away the future of the country when we should be just looking to protect the elders. Tell them to cocoon.
