I don’t get any sense the economic costs have been grasped in the Taoiseach's PR speech. We are likely to see many business go to the wall in the coming weeks

NPHET have now decided that complete suppression is the end goal and to hell with the consequences. I'd also like someone in the media to ask Leo to back up his claim that the ICU departments would be overrun in a matter of days if we didn't follow this path. I see no good reason to extend this out past August. That's over 4 months away and will be 6 months in total. The main concern I have with stretching it out that long is we get into Flu season not long after that. Lord knows what measures will be brought in then. Bloody scary time coming up and we seem to be lead by a half baked cabinet, some of whom aren't even elected TD's anymore.

I really do hope that the saving lives before economy rhetoric works out, I really do. I hope when the Exchequer has bled the last of its cash in August and cant pay public service wages that we will remember all those lives we have saved. The government has chosen lives over economy according to some here. Perhaps someone could explain how taking over the private hospitals and leaving 2000 beds empty for 6 months and 500 consultants twiddling their thumbs fits into the lives over economy rhetoric? Wheres the testing we were promised? Wheres the PPE for the health workers? Why are the hospitals now empty? This is a management issue and always has been, and unfortunately that management has been allowed continue its clueless guidance and lack of transparency. As of May 4th we have the most restrictive economic policy in Europe, and its due to an absence of leadership.

They have not done everything perfect by any means but I would prefer too many beds to not enough beds and you do realise they had no way of knowing how many they would need. If there was a shortage of beds that would cause an uproar

This is a blueprint for national bankruptcy on top of the past few months of it. This is a fact - if you’re ok with mass unemployment, severe cuts to all public spending, wholesale business collapse , home repossessions etc. The price tag is absolutely massive
