    That is irrelevant as counts are for counties.

    Even so the ratio is still close to 2.5

    This is what happens when presented with unclear leadership.

    If you create a vacuum of "what's the point of this?", It will be filled with whatever sounds good instead. No such thing as a virus? Great, at least that has an actionable outcome, like protesting.

    Simply dying slowly as a country with neverending lockdowns is not inspiring or hopeful. It's aimless.

    But that's the real problem. There is no guarantee of a vaccine, and it really feels like governments are basing plans on that.

    Not to mention that even IF a vaccine is created, the uptake is going to be ineffective.

    The conspiracies are flying and the longer this is dragged on the lower the number who will trust a vaccine.

    It's time to start planning on reality right now, and not on contingency. It's a small window of opportunity.


    We don't know the outcome so overthinking it will cause more stress for you.

    The point I was trying to make was that we will just have to relax and do what is in our control i.e wearing masks etc and being sensible without going to the extreme with that either.

    That won't do much good for all those who have unnecessarily lost their jobs.

    You keep mentioning end goal and now cure the problem, what do suggest then rather than giving out about it, herd immunity?

    It is useful to point out that the current strategy is doomed. Not maybe doomed, 100% doomed.

    Another strategy is necessary. Those effective strategies were made available to governments years ago. It's the politics that are standing in the way.

    We have a biological problem. It won't be fixed with politically motivated solutions.

    Dublin is 3rd smallest after Louth and Carlow

    Cork largest, take 3 hours to drive from Youghal to Lambs Head to get the cable car out to Dursey Is

    Thats East West

    North South is nearly 3 hours too.

    Mizen Hd to Charleville.

    Christ you'd be nearly in Belfast

    Ok . Have you anything else to contribute?
    I was comparing cities and as other posters who I trust for their good sense have pointed out that was incorrect here.
    You are just living up to your name with this ...post .

    Thousands of pages of simulation, direction and strategy are in the hands of every government, made by people who predicted accurately every step of this pandemic before it even existed.

    But it isn't politically expedient so it remains ignored.

    You don't need to be a psychiatrist to know socialisation is good for children. As for projecting fear, I have seen many of your comments. If there was no fear in your house you wouldn't be homeschooling your children till a vaccine is found. You said this. The thing about common sense it's not that common. Take care.
    Obviously socialisation is important for kids but they won't be scarred for life by missing a few months with their schoolmates. We have at least one playdate every week with another family who are keeping their kids at him.
    Before they went back to school we had lots of playdates with kids from families who were staying safe.
    There's no fear here, just being careful. I have lots of reasons to stay safe besides my kids including my extremely high risk other half.
    All my decisions are made using math and preparing for the future as well as the present. I don't have to sit down and do math, it's just my natural way of reasoning through issues.

    I read everything I can get my hands on as regards covid-19. There's lots of stuff that doesn't make sense, there's lots of stuff written a certain way to try and get the reader to think a certain way as in there is an agenda with much of it.

    Just as an example there's people going through age groups trying to make arguments that primary schools are safe by comparing infections with other age groups. What are they leaving out? They are leaving out that there's lots of families that will have kids in crèche, primary and secondary schools.

    Just looking at that choir video, there seems to be about 25 in the room with a couple wearing masks. I wonder if those that wore the mask didn't become infected?

    Love to hear the figures on that.

    Ah great, we have another who won't answer a direct question.

    Again, what is your suggestion/proposal rather than withering on about politics?

    If cases keep rising at the current trajectory then the proposal you posted about last week may eventually have to be implemented. I still can`t see it happening anytime in the near future though.

    Yes.
    Apparently all warned 5 years ago about getting the health and other services ready for just this scenario.
    But no government in this country has ever done more than lurch from crisis to crisis.

    I think the idea was to point out that just because they've had some cases, they don't need to be locked down right now.
