    I am absolutely for real and absolutely right.

    So if it is a real pandemic why didn't we close the airports at any point? Or why didn't we even stop flights from the worst affected areas?

    We knew at the very start it affected the elderly the worst but the hospitals were closed and the nursing homes ignored,does that make sense?

    If it was a pandemic why didn't we stop thousands protesting right at the height of it?

    Why didn't Sweden get overrun,why didn't Belarus? Why didn't a single 3rd world country get overrun considering their healthcare systems so much less robust.

    I could keep typing all day the list goes on and on of the reasons why it is not a pandemic and its obvious and clear to anyone that wants to hear it.

    Unfortunately the noisy few who are lining their pockets during this alleged pandemic are all we seem to hear.

    You don't even know what a pandemic is.

    Argue the severity, the appropriateness of the measures. etc., however the fact that it is a pandemic is undeniable

    I suggest that you look up the definition of a pandemic because it's quite obvious that you don't know what it means.

    The definition of a pandemic is an epidemic occuring worldwide. The definition of an epidemic is a widespread occurrence of an infectious disease in a community at a particular time.

    How is this not a pandemic?

    Yep. It doesn't even have had to have killed a single person for it to be an epidemic or a pandemic. This appears to be beyond Hannibal's comprehension.

    Unrestricted power over population. It's much more addictive than drugs.

    If I was the government this whole year will have been one major headache and hassle. What power have they had? Not letting people in groups of more than two for a month or two? Not opening shops? Big woop. Things are almost back to normal now, and this normal that people long for is an example of actual power over a population - everyone in the rat race working all the hours god sends for a few pennies more and constant loss of benefits. Keep consuming....

    It's easy to say that in hindsight on boards.ie. I wonder what decision you would have made to protect the nursing homes had you been in charge?



    In comparison to their neighbours, yes.



    The definition of a pandemic is an epidemic occuring worldwide. The definition of an epidemic is a widespread occurrence of an infectious disease in a community at a particular time.

    How is this not a pandemic?

    To be fair, there were plenty of people who called for the nursing homes and the very vulnerable to be locked down from day one. I personally took online and real life abuse for suggesting this. I was accused of discriminating against the elderly... the irony.

    How about you ignore my posts i will ignore your posts clown,you think you have some right to decide who posts here,you wouldn't dare speak to me like that in real life,i promise you that.

    When you grow a bit in confidence and stop letting people walk on you in your personal life you will be able to converse with people of all differing viewpoints maturely and be able to talk back and forth without resorting to weak tactics to try and shut down a voice you don't like.Next you will be asking the Mods to remove posts because your little sensitive brain can't take an opposing viewpoint, grow up child.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,570 ✭✭✭✭Idbatterim


    Why are the covid bedwetters leaving their house to go shopping etc or coming in contact with any one. If they are so selfless and concerned about others?

    Jesus if the mickey mouse virus generates this hysteria, imagine what an actual serious one would do.... we can go back to feudalism...

    You are the literal enemy of the Irish people,lives are being lost,children's lives are being ruined,people are getting angry,but keep cheering my man what goes around comes around nothing more sure in life,i swear to god nothing more sure of that,what goes around comes around,so enjoy yourself now but you will get what you deserve as we all will,nothing more sure in life.

    We obviously read very different sources. I'll stick to official mainstream news sources and the HSE, WHO and NPHET. You stick to facebook and Qanon.

    Cmon man a joke for everyone at Funerals with the utmost respect and loving memory is not what Leo did,if he was upfront and cracked jokes in the speech to us the people he was speaking to then fine i can live with that.

    But he was speaking to us about something meant to be pretty serious,it's like me having a conversation with you about something between us.But i told my other friend i'm going to work movie quotes into the conversation for a laugh, but i won't tell you i done it,only my other friends in on the joke know it.That would be taking the piss out of you.

    It's completely disrespectful,a man of good character would have spoken to the people openly and honestly and not made us the butt of his childish in house joke,when peoples lives were being lost,jobs lost etc.

    The subject was: "Governments around the world", not our Government. Many authoritarian regimes around the world use the pandemic to further consolidate their power and curtail human rights and freedoms.

    Jayesdiem, you are still banned from posting in this thread and you know this because your latest ban from the covid forum was the latest in a string of escalating bans because you keep posting in this thread.

    This is your final warning, if you post in this thread one more time I will ban you from this forum permenantly

    The world's gone mad


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,447 ✭✭✭Ginger n Lemon


    The world has truly gone mad

    A FURTHER NINE people with Covid-19 have died in Ireland, the Department of Health confirmed this evening.

    There have also been an additional seven cases reported to health officials in Ireland today.

    Eight of today’s confirmed deaths occurred in April, May and June this year.

    Seven new cases today. 7.

    Keeping pubs in 3 week further lockdown will go down as the dumbest decision politicians have ever made. But when asked, later on, why the extension - they ll relay the medical advice. We do live afterall, in a Republic of medical advice of Ireland. :rolleyes: as is, 4 days of this week we've kept over 15,000 pub staff at home collecting what will soon become 300 euro weekly payment for every 1 person who died with covid. Most outrageous thing is we dont know who died, how old were they, how many underlying conditions they had or whether covid was even the main cause of death.

    No its spot on. You have to close the pubs at least until late September to be on the safe side of the number until people are pretty much all back from holidays and the schools have been open a few weeks or whatever. We all likes to criticise the politicians and they get a lot wrong and have to answer for, but when the rare case of them getting it right happens then you have to say fair play and not just complain about them.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,130 ✭✭✭✭Spanish Eyes


    I don't see or hear a mad clamour to reopen the pubs, except on here TBH.

    But that's the nature of many comments on the thread, to be contrary, and I don't think it is reflected in real life out there much.

    Most people just shrugged and got on with it.

    See this is the utter bull**** of the reporting that is currently going on. Don't get me wrong, I know that this is a vicious virus and quite deadly, but running headlines that suggest 9 people died today is disingenuous at best, and blatant nonsense. This type of nonsense is the reason that you end up with people not engaging with public health notices, vacinations, or generally good health advisory warnings.

    Christ if I'd tried that disingenuous representation of figures in my degrees I would have been hounded out of it.
