It’s a bit early compared to regular seasonal illnesses

There isn't a vaccine. No coronavirus has ever had a vaccine. According to scientists we were supposed to have a vaccine for HIV years ago and here we are. We'll be led along by corporations with tales of a vaccine until we finally cop on it was CEOs inflating stocks.

Now regarding this plan, I noticed that they mention, the plan or a version of it having to be in place until a vaccine is produced.... should that not have been in place until a vaccine or good treatments or medications be in place?

That was fast. My adult daughter hasn’t been well since yesterday, has been self-isolating at her home and rang gp reception this morning with symptoms of cough and temperature. No call back from gp yet!

Aye, was surprised. I was expecting the slow part to be the wait for the test, but they seem to have seriously ramped it up.

That's very optimistic. Most cases are saying any COVID vaccine will be arriving mid to late 2021, then think of how long it will take to get enough people vaccinated. We are looking at a year or more of this.

Schools go back, the number of new cases rise. It was to be expected.

Singles and non parents complete freedom of movement :P

I suppose people's selfishness and desire to get pissed at a wedding comes before the health of others. That's why we had 300+ cases today

I'm about to pull the plug on a weekend getaway. It's going to cause a row as the girl I'm seeing is anti restrictions.

The situation is way grim. I can't ignore them numbers and the direction they are heading in.

Almost every person I see without a mask in shops is wearing a grey tracksuit.

North inner city is a shambles. Pjama wearing auld ones, roma tenements and young lads roaming in packs not giving a ****.

I got a little worried the other night when a bunch of scobes were coming my direction all in masks it was nearly fully dark and i'm not a small guy, seriously thinking of trading in my rifle for a hand gun if this continues much longer. The same toe rags wouldn't wear a mask when there meant to.

Weddings are so boring (and formulaic) and bloody expensive too, for a lot of people, bet they will delighted not to have to attend.

Back to basics here now and it's not such a bad thing either. The meringue and all the associated shyte of 175 attendees is hopfully gone now.

Everyone wishes you well, but it's nothing to do with me either apart from wishing you well. A two minute thing on an email to decline + a pressie, job done.

Sorry now, I know some will be offended. But who cares.

1000 people out of 446 million. How many people in Europe have died of obesity the past 48 hours?

Unless there are serious setbacks there will be multiple vaccines by the end of the year. Will take at least a year to roll out in developed countries but as the vulnerable are vaccinated restrictions will be slowly lifted. We may have serious lockdowns late this year but I think we'll be at level 1 or 2 for most of 2021.

Yeah, one of the positives of this whole thing for me is definitely not having to go to weddings or invent excuses not to go,

It'll be 4 funerals and a wedding the way the numbers are going. Now the children are even at risk back at school. The undertaker's will be out of a recession at least at everyone else's expense.

And we only had good hygiene like the above, and cough/spit/sneeze into a hanky or tissue and we still managed to beat TB along with good medications(and yes I know the difference between a bacteria and virus)

God help us if we had Ebola to deal with like my mates. We would be climbing the trees.

Or just died for that matter.

Hard to fathom people still coming out with stuff like this.

Roots 2020 · 15-09-2020 08:03PM

FF are leading the government at the moment and shoulder most of the blame for the messing.

However you can't but feel that when we got to June/July FG took a collective sign and said job done for us, thank fcuk we can wash our hands (literally and metaphorically) of it now.

Since the formation of the new government they have remained in sleep mode. They need to be pushing harder on FF and MM to make the big decisions. They have the added advantage of experience too.

Then it's not beyond any of our politicians to play politics with a serious issue. Nice to be remembered as the one who got the outbreak under control rather than the one who restarted it.

In all honesty I would say the numbers are as low now as they will be for a long time to come. Now is the time to have a nice getaway. Just mind yourself abd others and spend most of time doing outdoors stuff. It will be a while before numbers go the other way..

It's not the fact that 1000 is a very large number in itself but it's a large increase on the number of deaths in Europe over the last few months

billybonkers · 15-09-2020 08:05PM

So currently we can leave Dublin for any reason we like?

There will be further advise on Thursday, expecting dubs to be asked not to leave the county for two weeks similar to LOK

This is just the start. It hasn't hit the vulnerable yet. We'll be seeing 1000 deaths a day in Ireland and we'll look back on this time and regret not locking down instantly like Israel.

Optimistic at best, but even if it works out, those with influence will get it first anyway. lol.

Not really, one of my best friends is due to get married and with the restrictions no friends will be able to go only family. Their both gutted and don't want to go ahead with the day but being left with absolutely no choice by the venue to start with. There was only ever 100 going to this so it was by no means a big wedding.
