Facts mean nothing to you the man who was advising the British Government on the lockdown had is stupid fancy bit over twice and her husband had covid symptoms.

His predictions were off the wall.

Sane societies isolated the vulnerable and the sick not the backbone of the economy.

This deserves a new thread because this is massive news.

That he had an affair is deserving of its own thread :pac:

Look at the headline this is the so called experts who recommended this nonsense.

By the way he hubby had suspected covid.

Why does him recomending it in the UK and having an affair mean Ireland should end its restrictions? Some strange jumps your managing to make.

Just because some lad was dying for a ride doesn't mean we are now immune to covid.

Some doctors smoke, they shouldn't but that doesn't mean we should all go out and buy 20.

I think your caught up in the far right nonsense that is playing this as because we acted and people didn't die we didn't need to act.

Far right?

His predictions are crazy and he let a women visit him twice for a sex so this old tramp could cheat on her husband who had covid symptoms.

Why would anybody continue to follow his advice.

And again far right?

So because the guy that recommended lockdown went against his own advice, no one should be in lockdown? That doesn't make sense to me.

Since the UK has been in lockdown, the number of cases has reduces dramatically. Countries that went into lockdown early are doing better than those that didn't. Yes, it's frustrating that young people can't go out to work or go down the pub, but I also don't want to spread it to my father who's immunocompromised from the steroids for his arthritis, or my granny with diabetes and asthma.

Anyone who thinks that the lockdown was a bad idea needs to look at the astronomical death rate in the US, and how much worse it's going to get there now that states are re-opening.

Do they? So which societies are those? Perhaps the Socciety for moaners and groaners or the Society for the perpetually outraged?

"Up to 250k might die"

He's technically not wrong, is he?

You sound like a right selfish numpty tbh, with a childlike inability to work out the impact your actions could have on others

You want to see outrage?

Just wait until this covid payment runs dry and many of these people have no jobs to return to.

That is when you will see real outrage.

No ffs, there were out of control queues the other week for slides and stuff so Lidl did the responsible thing and removed just 3 items from this weeks specials that they felt might cause the same issues.

Ive seen no evidence of gardai pressure as claimed.

In the BIBLE I forget the city but people had to stay on a little island for two weeks before they got to enter the port.

I know the BIBLE is offensive to many these days.;)

Irish death rate is worse than the USA.

The OP seems to think that the "young and healthy" live in a bubble where it is impossible for them to come into contact with people who are vulnerable. Like your granny, I too have asthma and diabetes, and the last thing I need is a load of people running around not giving a sh*t how far and wide they spread the virus. Until transmission rates are negligible, everyone, whether they're clearly suffering from Covid-19 or are asymptomatic, needs to be treated as a potential carrier. And the only way to ensure that as few people become actual carriers is to continue the lockdown. The very obvious fact that those calling for restrictions to be lifted seem to be unable to grasp is that the more people that adhere to the restrictions now, the quicker the lockdown can be lifted. But if you keep insisting on flouting the rules then transmission rates are obviously going to remain higher than they need to be.

I am not outraged I was busy today working.

I am lucky to have my job and I hope as few people as possible find themselves unemployed at the end of all of this.

Have any of you given serious though to the longterm damage this lockdown will leave?

fawlty682 · 06-05-2020 07:00PM

We are going to be last out of these measures as we historically cannot make hard decisions. Obviously, Dublin should have tighter rules than rural counties, where virus is minute. Good part is we can learn from other countries. However, we will all look like the people in Game of Thrones and many will never have a pint in a pub again.

I went for ONE drive on my OWN and got out and walked for about 20 minutes on my OWN I did not get within 40 feet of anybody else.

Other than that I am in work since this started deemed essential in contact with many others for eight to ten hours a day.

Those people running around not giving a ****e like you say pay for government services.

Expect a lot of cutbacks when this situation is over.

Well, it's not a world war, and we recovered from those. I'd say we'll be grand. People will still want to do the same things and buy the same stuff. This is a pause, not a full stop.

Dunno about grownups?

Money that's being handed out to workers to stay home could have been spent ensuring nursing homes were cocooned

The shutdown is is a blunt instrument, a hammer to break a nut

Exactly. I am lucky enough to work remotely, and I only leave the house to go shopping once a week (not got a big enough fridge/freezer for less often) and to walk my dog in the evening, and I'm still terrified of infecting people. I get so angry when I see people blatantly disregarding the welfare of others because they think that because they're not going to get sick, it doesn't matter if other people do.

I am fed up with this lockdown for sure - I want to see my family, I want to go to the shops and not feel scared that I might accidently touch something and spread the virus because you just don't know if you have it or not - but I'm not gonna **** about with this!

Ireland has also been doing a hell of a let more testing, and reporting all Covid related deaths, unlike the US where they're testing no one and massively undertesting.

Go figure.

You do realise that the position that we should have gone into lockdown and the position that we should no longer be in lockdown are not inconsistent positions to hold together?

For sure. But do you think that we're now at a point where we should open up the country altogether because we're bored?

I'm not an epidemiologist, but until we have a vaccination, we're not going to be able to go back to life as normal until everyone is vaccinated. So let's unite as a society and do whatever we can to protect our vulnerable.

Death rate.
Not cases rate.

The death rate suffers from the same reporting variances. We're reporting deaths outside hospital setting plus suspected Covid involvement, unlike some.
