Social distancing won't happen either, pubs are being nieave to say they'll manage it, any of the pubs I've been in are just as normal when the doors close and the guards have to knock.
Open them as normal and see what happens, if rules need to be brought in then fine, they should have opened before the schools and have been used as a test case to see if we really need to mask the kids or not.

Properly. Trusting pubs to run the show properly without this time limit and food nonsense. And if a pub does not ensure social distancing fine, deal with it.

But...Open the pubs!

It's likely to be in the promised upcoming plan. The only thing you can't really see getting the nod this year are nightclubs.

#covid19ireland: 95 cases today
- 52 men, 43 women
- 67% are under 45
- 47% associated with outbreaks or are close contacts of a confirmed case; 16 cases from community transmission
- 51 in Dublin, 6 in Kildare, 6 in Meath; remaining 32 cases across 16 counties

Plenty of positives there.
The 67% under 45 is a positive as its a lower risk category.
Anything under 100 cases in a day is a positive.
And no deaths is a huge positive.

They're a bunch of bloody doctors, ffs. He had covid.

So, the BBC article you link to says that the "loss of smell that can accompany coronavirus is unique and different from that experienced by someone with a bad cold or flu, say European researchers who have studied the experiences of patients. When Covid-19 patients have smell loss it tends to be sudden and severe."

The indestructible young doctor in the RTE article (from Pascal Sheehy.......) states "He now knows he contracted the virus then, although he did not realise it at the time.
The virus passed through Owen and he carried on as usual. "

Doesn't sound too severe to me, but sounds very like a lot of the narcissistic people cropping up all over the place with retrospective Covid.

By your measure, we shouldn't bother doing testing anymore. Sure they had a symptom that could be covid. Tick!

Agreed. But not if you want to join the gang and get on news articles though. Especially the news articles from our State broadcaster that refer to "post Covid syndrom" without identifying if it's actually post Covid. If he had a positive test fine. If not GTFO.

So he got into the Irish Times too. Olivia Kelleher in her article says that "it is thought he developed Covid-19 in March"."While he remembers his sense of smell and taste being a little off, but that was not a known symptom at the time."

:rolleyes:

What often gets missed is that 60% of the Irish population is under 45. These are the people that are working in the most exposed work places such as factories, building sites, shops, restaurants etc. So they would be more likely to contract the virus anyway.

So for example the 67% from today shows that the young people are doing great in reality.

I'd wear a mask in public every day for the rest of my life if it meant none of my friends and family getting sick or dying from Covid. I wouldn't even see it as a sacrifice.

Wonderful for you.

So because you think it's fine and dandy you think we should have it written into law to impose it on every other person in the country and be threatened with huge fines or jail, indefinitely?

Is this the widespread mentality, that masks should be worn and mandated in law until eradication? (spoiler: it will likely never be fully eradicated) And people see no problem with that?

If not, when?
We've gone so far down a rabbit hole I think some will never be convinced to go back.

This obsession about numbers is a little troubling and a bit sad really. Looking in from the outside I can't help but draw the conclusion that quite a few in Ireland (if this thread is anything to go by) have lost all perspective and seem to wallow in the misery.

It's like looking at auld lads and ladies obsessing over the death announcements in the local papers every morning to see who is dead. The weather, death and C19 related deaths is the new small talk.

Every other country in Europe is moving on. Time for Ireland to wake up and get out on with it. Enough already.

I agree except the last part. This seems to be related regularly for some odd reason, despite most countries being in a very similar position and the effect being similar on local populations. No country in the world bar a handful has moved on

Nobody believes that. Anyone who isn't a total moron can see that by limiting the amount of pubs that are open and enforcing rules that mean people have to sit at tables and don't get blind drunk the risk of community spread will be reduced over just opening up all the pubs.

Restaurants are comparatively safe as people sit at tables and don't mix with other groups. Publicans made the argument that pubs that act just like restaurants are equally safe. So the 9 euro threshold was brought in to allow those pubs to open and try and ensure they are actually acting as restaurants and not just selling a bag of chips while people get wasted at the bar. Some pubs still take the piss of course, but the current rules are better than nothing.

Aged 84 and just after being in a car accident. The most vulnerable of the most vulnerable and he'd be in trouble with any infection. Unfortunately covid tends to take out the very weakest. I've a feeling the car accident didn't help his cause.

So from it wasn’t Covid that killed him, it’s suddenly well he was going to die anyway. Covid was a major contributor to his death and is rightly included in cause of death

So by limiting the amount of pubs that are open thereby concentrating larger gatherings it's better than alot of pubs open with smaller numbers?
I'm failing to see why anyone who doesn't follow your logic is a moron.
Can you also explain the case for keeping rural pubs closed who would have a smaller clientele and the customers would be on a first name basis with the owner/ publican.

Keeping the fear going absolutely ridiculous reporting.

Could we have a feature with some of the 99% of people who contracted the virus and recovered.

Same agenda pushed the whole time.

Yeah he thinks he had Covid but wasn't tested, the important thing to remember he is recovered and is busy working away.

Not joining the positive camp but just reading up on myocarditis and it can happen after any viral infection. In mild cases it can improve on it's own or with treatment and can lead to complete recovery.

They really have turned into a station of hype over the last few years.

It's actually funny now, really Henny Penny the sky is falling down stuff.

There's a virus rampant in RTE and it's not Covid. I think it's a virulent strain combining the worst of Teresa 'don't take risks' Mannion and George Lee.

He did have Covid.

After being admitted to CUH where he was working at the time he was swabbed for Covid-19 three times and each time it was not detected.

He was eventually found to be antibody positive, suggesting that it took four to six weeks post-infection for his body to develop antibodies.

The story is about secondary illness from Covid.

You seem to have focused on the first part and not the second part.
I assume they didn't end the report with him still in a hospital bed?

It's you that seems to be finding the fear in everything about this virus. And there have been plenty of news items showing recovers patients.

Does anyone really recover. Not being smart here.
Whats with all the reports going around about long term organ damage that may lead to premature death years from now.
If that IS the case this virus is far deadlier than anything every before it.... we may aswell ignore the death figures now.

If every case of the flu was reported on, every death, every secondary infection caused by it, it would seem very scary too. There is literally nothing new about these potential side effects. They apply to any virus. Theres even asympomatic flu cases too who might spread it to others but no stigma around that like there is with covid. Some people need to get some perspective.

The figures are clear that this is much deadlier than the flu and that's been with a global restriction on movement. Without them, it would make the flu look even more of a walk in the park.
