    We have elected fools and continue to do so.

    Oh, just as I was about to post I realised you are a lover of either FF or FG.
    I don't think much of Mary Lou either but she hasn't had the chance to show she's as bad or worse than the other hopeless cases mentioned above

    Varadkar isn't incapable, Martin is a klob and im not a lover of FF or FG why would you think that?

    And don't forget the politicians. They have a lot of family associations with pubs.
    I remember being charged €9.50 for a pint of Rockshore in a city centre pub a few years ago and asked myself what the complete **** is going on here?
    They are not needed by the Irish people. Let them go to the wall.

    9.50 really? Temple bar is bad but it's not 9.50 bad for a pint. Wouldn't step foot in temple bar myself, it's a tourist trap.

    So based off that experience you say let them go to the wall ?? My local is €5.30 for a pint and I'd hate to see them go to the wall as all the lads working in it are local with families to support.

    So Macron proving that he is a fool too. How have so many European countries elected gob****es to run their countries?

    Why is he a gob****e? EU countries are all on pretty much the same trajectory with respect to the slowdown of the spread, and relaxations, although nuanced between countries, are not going to be a million miles away from one another. The cost:benefit to shutting down intra-EU travel IMO makes no sense. We should just make sure that arrivals from the Americas or Africa or the Middle East quarantine at their point of entry in the EU, or else prove they have been in Europe for more than two weeks before entering Ireland

    Yeah, €9.50. I think it was Café En Seine or one of those places.

    No where in Ireland charges 9.50 for a pint of anything. You know his claim is bull because rockshore was only released last year.

    One passenger commented that they weren’t given advice on how to keep safe?
    What age were they? 2?
    I presume they were an adult of some sort.
    I think everybody in Europe pretty much knows what’s happening, if a grown adult needs advice at this time on how to keep safe well..,..I have no idea.

    Yeah I mean if you are choosing to fly right now then how can you be needing advice on how to stay safe? Have they not watched the news? Just showing up at an airport to fly in the middle of a pandemic and pawn off responsibility on other people to tell you how to keep safe seems ridiculous.

    Fact check on this? It would be interesting if true

    A belief in gender identity involves a level of faith as there is nothing tangible to prove its existence which, as something divorced from the physical body, is similar to the idea of a soul. - Colette Colfer

    Having a different view or making a different decision informed by different advice or personal opinion does not automatically make someone a fool, even if they are wrong. Its the process by which those decisions we arrived at and the critical thinking that was applied when forming the opinion or evaluating the options to make a decision that inform you as to the persons abilities

    It's times like these, pandemics, economic depressions, wars etc when you see who great leaders are.
    Milos Zeman and Sebastian Kurz have stepped forward as two great, strong leaders.
    Macron led France into a horrendous situation, as did Boris Johnson in the UK, Sanchez in Spain, Conte in Italy, Rutte in the Netherlands, Wilmes in Belgium and Varadkar in Ireland.
    All of those didn't move quickly enough on this pandemic and didn't put proper measures in place to best fight it as best we could.

    Even if people are doing a lot more exercise and are less stressed it seems hard to believe those benefits would have such a pronounced impact on the number of strokes and heart attacks occurring in just two months. Like wouldnt it take a while longer than that to improve your health

    Yes . Also reports came in from hospitals in Northern Italy that they reported a huge increase in pneumonia cases in December .

    Guess what, it might be a good idea to read through the thread before posting. You'll find if you do that this information has already been thoroughly discussed.

    Austria happy with easing of restrictions. This is what we want to see as well as we work through our phases.
    Austria says reopening shops has not accelerated coronavirus infections
    Austria’s first loosening of its coronavirus lockdown three weeks ago, in which thousands of shops reopened, has not led to a new spike in infections, though further vigilance is necessary, its health minister said on Tuesday.

    Unusual story here of researcher in US supposedly close to making significant breakthrough on Cvodid19 killed in apparent murder suicide. It's likely pure coincidence but still.
