All that after few minutes? Well in that case you better go and see your GP, because there's definitely something wrong with you

It's good BS though. Dr Tony might have liked to read that post a few weeks ago when he was in "rubbish masks mode" . More "Emerging Science"

Leaving it open season in pubs and hoping other measures will help abate the impact is lunacy.

Keep them closed forever then. I don't care I hate the places.

What is lunacy is trynig to keep people in pubs 1 metre away from each other. We all know that once they open again any measures taken will be turned into a joke.
Thing is though - This time last year we had a pub closing every week somewhere in Ireland because no one was going to them anymore. We had pub owners pressurizing the the Goverment to implement minimum pricing to stop people buying cheap booze in the Supermarket. Now everyone is gumming to go back to them.
Like it or not, if you open the pubs tommorow it will be like Woodies queues for hours on the first day then nobody.
A lot of people who would like to go back to the pub will stay away anyway.

Anyone catch "the week in politics" ?

Harris is now making strong noises that they are seriously considering making masks mandatory on Public Transport. The stance is changing at an amazing rate.
Maybe cos he knows he won't have his job for much longer.

I think we've got hugely different ideas of what an amazing rate is lol. They've been infuriatingly slow to change, and they're obviously refusing to admit their mismanagement and bull**** over masks during the past few months with the 'emerging evidence' ****e. They've definitely caused damage to the overall mindset towards masks amongst the general population, so they'll need to put in serious effort to try and undo that

It's very depressing to think about all of this, we've such rampant apathy and incompetence in this country

Yep, they announced last week that there'll be a new campaign about masks this week. In a crisis where acting as quickly as possible is imperative, you'd think they'd have learnt the importance of actually acting quickly when we're months into it. Wasters. The brain dead population lick their hole then praising them as if they've performed as well as the likes of Slovakia

Dublin buses are like pizza ovens on a warm summer day with tiny windows, no air con and no tinted windows to block UV rays, even if people are forced to wear them they will still take them off very quickly unless they want to die of suffocation!
I wonder will Harris wear a mask in his ministerial merc?

Not the way they do things. Fly a flag. See what the reaction is. That the FG way.
It's like dropping the 2mtr rule down. The dogs in the street know they are going to do it but they have to spend weeks "studying it first"

Harris is a college drop out.

Varadkar couldn’t hack it as a doctor.

Hoolahan tried to bury the cervcal check scandal. He also lambasted nursing homes for closing to visitors of their own accord in early March. As recently as the february he was saying there was a very low chance we would even get Coronavirus in Ireland.

These people are beyond incompetent.

Now they messed up on the advice on masks due to supply concerns and are having trouble back tracking.

I advise anyone to wear a mask anytime you leave the house.

If we have source control, the viral spread is severely limited.

Even the United States where half the country is nuts, is advising everyone wear masks.

Why does Varadkar and Holohan think they know better than the rest of Europe and North America.

I recently ordered a Cambridge mask. Reusable medical grade FFP3 mask that can be washed and makes a tight seal on the face. 25£. Reasonable price for the cost of staying safe.

Sounds like a great place for a virus to thrive.

Personally I'd keep the mask on.

Coronavirus can literally cause suffocation.

There's also the one that says your immune system forgets how to work because it runs out of practice. cos you stop all the viruses and bacteria getting in.

I usually wear safety glasses. The DIY sort. I don't know but it seems logical to me that the ideas that the virus gets in through the eyes is probably true but it is massively more likely that it gets in through the nose and mouth.
If you think about it you inhale through the nose and mouth so you would draw it in that way.
The theory is that fomite transmission through the eyes occurs because you rub you eyes with contaminated hands.

There's a connection between tear ducts and nasal cavity, so tears drain into the back of the throat. So the virus can enter through eyes and end up at back of throat and into the lungs.

Surprised that they have not introduced this yet as it its mandatory in the North from the 15th, thought there was an all island approach.

Seems legit.

Love the conclusion.

The present paper about masks illustrates the degree to which governments, the mainstream media, and institutional propagandists can decide to operate in a science vacuum, or select only incomplete science that serves their interests. Such recklessness is also certainly the case with the current global lockdown of over 1 billion people, an unprecedented experiment in medical and political history.

Will file this under L for loon.

Where's their handbags? I bring so much with me now that it won't fit into pockets. Hand sanitizer, a few face masks in a clean plastic bag, keys, phone, wallet.

No goggles either, sure they are wasting their time without goggles.

If we all wore masks, there's no need for goggles.

Anyway a goggle campaign and a mask campaign will probably be too much on our government at the same time.
