Relaxation of restrictions Part II

We're still completely in the dark. I feel sick.

Yeah my stomach is in knots listening to what they have done. The effects of the restrictions will be felt for decades. The effects will be economic and health wise. The private hospital fiasco will kill many times more than Covid. Dont mention when the Exchequer bleeds its last bit of cash in the coming weeks

Over 90% of people of deaths are in the over 65 category. And we’ve just told them to go out.

While nothing else changes.

Absolute joke. Minor lifting of things in 2 weeks and than another 3 weeks.

Don't want to be toxic with my comment but - less money spend from Government for monthly payments

Nah your argument said Italy and Spain were stricter than Ireland. A few posters rubbished that argument. Now you retort with this about wanting pubs open

Wha?

Italy and Spain were stricter than Ireland. We were allowed 2k outside our house!

The only positive I can see from this woefully conservative plan is that if European countries are successful in their reopening plans that we may bring dates forward. But I don’t have a lot of hope of them chancing it.

It’s meaningless.

Only way out of this is a vaccine.

His political career is nearly over. So what has Leo got to close by lifting the restrictions earlier?

How can the health service be overwhelmed when the elderly and those with serious underlying problems are cocooning? I don't see why healthcare unrelated to Covid-19 should have been halted - given that all forms of cancer have higher mortality rates than Covid-19, the symptoms of which are not much different from the flu.

Doesn't look great over there either

Depends on where you look. Where I'm looking seems to have it well under control and will be back to normal long before this government even consider it as an after thought

Oh grow up the lot of you moaners.

It will end when it is best for all of us. The Gov don't seem to be too concerned about the economy, right now its seems to me they are more worried about the lives of people, that is good isn't it? I am no FGer at all, but caution is good, and TBH, most people are accepting of the measures.

It is only here where the attic dwellers, the Shinners, the anti establishment groupies hang out that it is awful. It isn't, it is going forward cautiously.

At least if, and it's a big if, things do settle down it will be because the vast vast majority realised that this is for the good of all of us, if it doesn't work out, well it won't be for the want of trying.

You didn't hear the doctor who was interviewed after?

Do you want government to ignore medical advice

Thats the issue. Its time for the media loving doctors to be stifled and return to covering up scandals they were better at that.
Its time for the economists to take over

Interesting.

Can you provide a link to the peer reviewed scientific papers that say this is the case?

As long as we have clappy seals like this with a vote, we're royally fcuked.

Christ this is going to be tough, my place of work will be the later phases but at least we have a plan in place for the whole country to start up again

If were going better than expected will they push up phases ?

He was hardly going to go through the 23 pages of rosdmap in that announcement. Just wait for the next day or 2 and the info will come out. He's on the LL tonight so we will know more then

Well, he should have issued a full release before his little 2 minute speech. He spent more time reading off imaginary letters he's received than giving any firm detail.
