Had enough of this lockdown am I the only person feeling like this?

People from the North free to move all over Ireland.
Scab slave labour being flown in on flights.

Travellers totally free to do what they want when they want where they want.

I am working long hours which are deemed essential.

I am going to get out for a decent drive this weekend and head for a beauty spot and get out for a walk and enjoy the sun.

Before you shut me down mods can you answer what harm I will be doing?

This is a discussion forum we are not living in China or North Korea.

Nice to meet somebody such as yourself I hope you are doing ok during this time.:)

Actually a bit frustrated today because I wanted to be in the UK for my aunt's funeral service. She was very good to me thirty years ago when I went over for work, and a really great, strong woman anyway. Plus, she always laughed at my jokes, a sure sign of a good sort.

I lit a candle in the garden for her at 11.45, as the service started.

But I'm ok in general, thanks. Keep safe yourself.

Have to call it a night I have an early start.

Let me know is there is anything worth watching on Netflix when I get time.

You don't even have the integrity to pretend you're not a WUM.

All this disingenuous mental health white-knighting. I don't believe 90% of the posters who bang on about that everyday are really that deeply concerned about the mental health of others - they just want to justify their own selfishness.

Overrun hospitals and thousands of people dying could be pretty depressing too.

The lock down strains everyone's mental health. But it's for the greater good: I can put up with it. I'm fortunate to be fit and well.

So far Covid 19 has killed 1200 people. I don't know what the figures are for death by Netflix.

The perfect reply to cheap vulgarity, and well said.

The concept of 'discussion boards' is lost on a fair few around here.

Personally, I have resisted all temptation to get the motorbike out, and it has not been easy on the glorious days we've had.

Apart from that, for various reasons, this crisis has hardly affected my lifestyle at all. I am very fortunate.

I will not break the restrictions, but I wouldn't say a word to someone of my acquaintance who at this stage is contemplating doing what you're doing.

If you need to do it, do it. I hope you enjoy it, and I hope you don't get caught.

They saw the Italian experience of who was most in danger regarding the virus, instead they transferred sick people into care settings from hospitals. If the strategy is to kill a large number of our elderly it's working well.

Mr President, Let me close with this final point. How a society treats its most vulnerable – whether children, the infirm or the elderly – is always the measure of its humanity. ... When a society begins to disregard the vulnerable and their rights, instability and conflict will only grow.

hmmm

I've been in what is normally one of the busiest public hospitals in the country multiple times throughout the lockdown. The place is deserted.

If we'd been sitting here with a Wuhan or Italy style situation with ICU patients scattered all over the hospital you'd be giving out as well.

The Irish people have done a brilliant job controlling this thing (for now), but there will more than likely be a second wave of this sometime in the future.

Since day one of this lockdown the government, DOH and GP's have been telling people constantly to seek medical help if required or attention to health issues if required that have nothing to do with Covid.

See these sly posts trying to bait people.:rolleyes:

I am working keeping the supply chain moving so people like you can stay home and do it.

If I need any tips I will be sure to ask an expert like yourself.:pac:

For the general population its clear its working, the care system however there is a serious problem.

Xertz

While I'm not saying our care system is great. I've seen it first hand and it's patchy at best, but the problem of high numbers of cases in care facilities is universal in pretty much every western country that I've seen stats for.

We need to get to the bottom of why the spread was so fast and why that happened in pretty much all EU countries and in the US.

329 confirmed cases today, 222 of them in care facilities. Good strategy.

Don't shoot the messenger people but a FEW people I work with have said it is like they are trying to do away with the elderly.

I did not say this but they have not been protected to say the very least.

Heard a joke.

Husband and wife in lockdown wife can't get out for exercise and says to husband she thinks this lockdown is making her fat husband replies don't be silly you were fat already.

That man is now another death attributed to Covid 19.

What ever about restrictions being eased, a way this will definitely be done is through a proven vaccine, if one ever becomes available.

Have to wonder how many people who are calling for the restrictions to be eased/lifted or working in high risk jobs will refuse to take the vaccine?

Looking at the situation through the eye of needle I say. How many deaths are there going to be attributed to an entire economic collapse and potentially a 5-10 year depression?
Do these deaths not count?

What about the suicide rates that will arrive on the backs of collapsing businesses and jobless youths? Do these deaths not count ?

How about the people lying at home requiring transplants, cancer screening, cancer operations, do these deaths not count ?
Amazing really

I was just thinking this how many people will be dying of cancer that would have otherwise survived?
