Relaxation of restrictions Part II

Who cares about the economy is all I keep hearing! If we even save 1 life it was all worth it.

I wonder how people will feel when the Covid payments stop? When the bank demand payments on mortgages again? When Landlords demand rent again? When the homeless crisis completely escalates and we’ve no funds to help? When people start getting evicted? When the housing crisis we are currently in gets much worse? When the austerity budgets start? When USC or some new equivalent is introduced? When thousands lose their homes? Lose their jobs? When thousands commit suicide?

It’s all worth it though if we save even 1 life now?

Will we be still “in it together” if you can’t pay your mortgage on a few more months?

The payment break with the banks will be an interesting one to watch. What state body will handle the repos

When will they restart medical services such as cancer or diabetic retinopathy screening?

Well the private hospitals are due to remain empty for 6 months so maybe after that

Moot point.

The fact is society will not function with this disease out of control.

What do people not understand about that?

Go see your boyfriend and give him a big hug. You'll feel a whole lot better doing that then staying locked up for the next 4 months. You need to weigh up what you are comfortable with but if he's been on lockdown as well then what have you to lose.

Get on Amazon right now!, Purchase a Rampant rabbit, it will arrive Monday, get some face time type app up and running and have a good time with your BF.
Get some perspective, im deemed a "essential worker", i would swap places with you in a heart beat.
I am being martyred against my will, i would gladly take €350 a week to stay home and stay safe and pathetic people like you disgust me, moaning about missing friend and family, while im stressed about bringing home a fûcking killer virus to my loved ones.
Get real and accept you are one of the luck ones, you ingrate.

Is the website incredibly slow and annoying for everyone else? I’d love to be able to debate this more but it’s driving me nuts!

Its frustrating and the competition is not exactly hard silenced as it is

I've said this before, people shouldn't be made feel like criminals for wanting to do normal things (meeting boyfriends/girlfriends, see family etc.)
Yes there are government recommendations but if it's really effecting your mental health and well being just give it a go and the worst that can happen is that you will be turned back. Don't act like an *sshole if confronted and you wont't be arrested.
Do social distancing and don't wilfully spread any disease and therefore don't feel guilty.

To the lock-down merchants who are about to attack this post: seriously get a grip.

I am not defending these kinds of mass parties seen on social media, these kinds of people should be reported and arrested, but let normal law abiding people not fear for their status by just seeing their granny in a garden.

You are now caught by the balls.

I have a very close family member who got a biopsy only last week and the results today.

You are digging a hole deeper with every post.

All in the name of politics.

Schools reopening in September is a disgrace, my son will miss 4 months of school as I am not able to homeschool him

Just had to quote this in case someone had a moment of brain activity and deleted the post. In a sea of posts that are insensitive, head in the sand, completely unaware of actual people's realities, it took some effort to be the worst. But bravo alwald, bravo.

It a pathetic white knight response, how the hell did women manage in WW2 when the men went of to war for a indefinite time?
Give me 350 a week to stay home, not a bother, but no as a "essential" worker i must risk my health fo not much more money.
I disgusted with the level of self pity of display here tonight, you have no idea of how lucky you are.
