    Now hold on a minute, I thought the MUP was to keep people IN pubs and make off licenses and supermarket alcohol sales prohibitive for some.

    I reckon they want us all to be part of a Continental Cafe Society. Pity about the weather.

    Oh and just wondered, what's the story with the Dail Wet Bar anyway lol.

    I doubt pubs will open again soon, just because they dislike the Healy Raes, it is that parochial now.

    The IVA and the LVA are off the agenda for now anyway. They charged the earth and wouldn't give you a packet of peanuts for your trouble unless you paid for them.

    But they should all just go rogue and get pizzas delivered anyway, not that I have any sympathy for them at all mind you.

    You can keep referring to a "casedemic" but it'll never catch on.

    Wouldn't a long term study be required to answer YOUR question?

    A quick Google will show you that the agencies who deal with this have appealed to the minister for health for help publicly, stating 21 in August, please don't keep bringing it up,it's there if you look

    21 is cases for the year so far, so nothing like as bad as is being made out

    I know. It's very strange. I don't know why when it's so obvious.

    Long term affects from a 'new' virus. What percentage of people who contracted the virus are still suffering ?

    I thought this crazy argument was long cast aside.

    They really won’t answer the question “will all of the class be tested?” Both the politician and the doctor didn’t answer if.

    Guess that’s because they won’t. That doesn’t acknowledge asymptomatic spread.

    Regarding non food pubs, to me it is an experiment. Yer man Mc Dowell tried to introduce pubs with food back in the day but the Gov was lobbied by the Vintners and it was blocked. Payback time.

    Feck them. We can go anywhere we want now and the tight assed feccers who wouldn't throw a plate of Tayto in front of you can do one now.

    They are never for "today".They are up to midnight the previous night, so the numbers we get tomorrow evening will be the cases up to midnight tonight.That's the way it has been from the start, I think it is very transparent.

    There were 90 positive results for yesterday, so the most cases possible for yesterday 'reported' today was 90,the others are from other days.

    I remember when your ticket into the night club came with a dinner. I don't know why they stopped doing it.

    Changed the laws. But yes I remember Hollywood nights and the dodgy curry or Chile con Carne.

    Pubs have been targeted by the government. Absolutely no showdown boxing!! It’s blatantly obvious The Anti Alcohol Lobby is going to get what they want. Rural pubs will close, minimum unit pricing will be brought in and all alcohol will behind a curtain. Irish version of shira law

    Get your alcohol in the shop if you want it, it's asking for trouble asking to socially distance when alcohol is involved.

    Unfortunately this country has small minority who will ruin it for everyone.

    I now know a total of 15 people that includes the family of 3 i was talking to recently ( had it in March), even their cat got sick. One has a heart condition for years and was checked afterwards. His heart is no worse than before. All 15 including the cat fully recovered.

    This one is for all the conspiracy hoaxers.
    Seriously, most govs couldnt organise a piss up in a brewery, but you prefer to believe this is a global conspiracy? Can you imagine the organisational genius you'd need? The cooperation of govs and scientists world wide? Oh, and they'd have to keep.it secret...

    Not that hard really. The powerful countries could have got together to discuss resetting the global economy, which, coincidentally, is the theme of the Davos summit next year.

    I'll be accused of being a conspiracy theorist, but people really need to question things.

    Arguing? Firstly the question wasn't posed to you . I didn't make a claim of long-term affects that was made by the poster I asked the question of. No idea why you jumped in.

    Its a public forum if you don't want people to comment on your posts then maybe don't post.

    Apologies, I saw the inflated figures being widely shared on fb and only read the headline when I googled it, but on further investigation you are correct that I can see no confirmation and the figure seems to be for the year so far.

    Did they not re set it 12 years ago? Hopefully they make a better job of it this time round

    9 suicides in Galway since June isn't positive, each suicide is a tragedy. But to be really objective about it we'd have to know the comparable suicide rates over the same period in other years. According to that article there were 421 in the country last year. Are those numbers indicative of a worse period than usual? I don't know the answer to that.

    Suicides existed before Covid and lockdown too. And we have no idea what circumstances led to each one, it's a bit of a hot take to automatically link the whole Covid situation as the root cause for each and every one.

    You realise that you can normally get a drink much cheaper, easier and later in most European countries including Belgium where the cafe culture reference came from.
