    It's an observation, not a dig, but I guess blaming a 9 years old is a reasonable excuse...and yes you sound very bitter.

    Reasonable excuse for what exactly?

    When should they open?

    In May, latest June, hardly any country waits until September

    If YOU are still working have a small bit of consideration for the 1.2m that are not.

    The same 1.2 million that are safe from a killer virus if they just stay at home?

    What about the "essential workers" who are currently being martyred against there will?
    We could all be back to normal sooner if the Covidiots would stay home.
    How many of the "essential workers" would be financially better off on the stay at home 350 a week?

    How do I sound bitter when you're the one making a dig about someone's parenting skills? Maybe step away from the computer/tablet/phone and take a few deep breaths champ.

    You seem confused about a dig and an observation and you sound very bitter indeed...a bit of fresh air will do you well lad!!

    Won't the secondary teachers be on their holidays end of May and primary school teachers on holiday end of June.

    Ill PM you with a link to mindfulness meditation. It helps with stuff like continually using words such as martyred

    So the private hospitals are open as per my point?
    Its ironic, the political jibes are water off a ducks back, Im ashamed to say I haven't seen a poling booth since the mid 2000s

    Are you actually reading what you're typing?

    You answered someones question about when will cancer screening happen by saying 6 months.

    I showed you're lying and you come back with another lie.

    Why am I wasting my time.

    Enjoy the SF online crusade.

    Why would you be confident it being safe to open them in May?

    To be fair everyone cares about the economy. The point is come Tuesday life cannot just go back to normal. It has to be gradual

    If everyone went back to work next week and we had a surge do you in all honesty think we could cope
    do you believe if someone in government says its safe to visit family that virus somehow magically due to their powers will disappear into thin ether. some have sick logic here, not realizing only way forward will be to accept living alongside this for years to come, 2-3 weeks wont make it less risky then it would today, sure we can go around jerking off ideas that gradual easing will work but reality is clusters will develop for months and years and people will face waves of this. Given **** weather come September we will see spark in flu and back to stage one in no time, do you think gov will close off again until next march then, handing 350 to everyone :cool: ?

    And you do realise that they are trying to slow down the virus because funnily enough I have grasped that it will not magically disappear

    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.

    Bad day at the office was it?

    Martyred? I think you're believing too much of your own hype unfortunately.

    I think you'll find your not the only one working to keep things going in this country. Remember, our great leader said, not all hero's wear capes.

    Here's another interesting fact. We live in a democracy and people are allowed have dissenting opinions. I don't have to like your tirade about me but it's the internet so I don't really give too hoots.

    Oh, and by the way, next time you do have a pop at some random person on the internet at least get your facts straight. Kinda looks a bit foolish when you have a go at the wrong poster. Alas, I'm to believe you are a Frontline worker and as such should be treated with God like deference.

    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

    If you got your new from any other source than the main stream media you would be aware of what happened in the USA in the last month.
    HINT.
    Check out who/what took over the Federal reserve. (its no longer a private company)
    Who is now TOTALLY in charge of the Federal Reserve?
    The Financial word is in the verge of a paradigm shift

    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.

    Then quit.

    That's up to you...but the upbringing of your child is your responsibility and thus you shouldn't use C-19/the current situation as an excuse.

    I'm also an essential worker, I'm back in on Monday? I'm sorry depression disgusts you.

    News Flash.
    You dont have depression, if you did you would not be posting here.
    You suffer from a attention deficit, desperate for someone to notice you.

    Jesus, do you have to make it so personal?

    Theres a few posts here in the last hour or so are actually making me queasy.

    Maybe stick with the topic of the thread and lay off the posters?

    This thread..

    I'm out. It's time to let the lunatics run the asylum.

    Stay safe folks.

    Have to say, the level of discourse on Boards around the coronavirus has been really poor.

    Trend is always towards creating a simplified two-sided debate and then polarizing views for / against either side on whatever topic is at hand.

    We're living through extremely dynamic and complex circumstances and there are no right answers, only that very human response of muddling through, which will mean different things for different people.

    Stay safe, stay sane, and stay sceptical of what the anonymous posters - myself included! - are spouting online.

    Where are the links? Why am i waiting?
    Or is it just more pathetic white knighting virtue signaling?

    Looks to me liked they've moved away from slowing down the virus (or flattening the curve) and have shifted tac to full on suppression. That's going to be a difficult ask.

    1. Why do you think its safe for students, staff and parents to open?

    2. Do you not thing teachers will be compensating for this in september. By spending the first month getting everyone back to the same level.

    You're a White Knight looking for internet thanks, truly pathetic or maybe a big hard man not afraid of a killer virus, which is it?
