What is your proposal?

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 crÃ¨che, 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.

Is Dublin the smallest county area wise?
All those people squished together instead of Spaced Out in Cork!

I think Louth is the smallest county.

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

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

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.

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.

No push notification from RTÉ today about the cases!!

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.

billybonkers · 22-09-2020 07:12PM

Just got to level 3 already for the above average counties. Get it over and done with

Maybe not right now but it could be a different story in another few weeks.

I think the numbers of people waiting for beds around the country shows that while cases are bad in Dublin , no area of the country can afford to be complacent .

You show me how to condense thousands of pages of information into a digestible post on a message board, and I'll show you how to cure this pandemic.

If you left Mitchelstown you’d be in Northern Ireland before you’d be at the opposite side of the county.

Just to prove how big Cork is

No "apparently" about it. Strategies were completed 8 years ago and given to every government.

They were also specifically warned about China, right down to the genetic variables of potential zoonotics arising from that place.

But, you know, cheap labour and maximum profit were given precedent. I wonder are they laughing now watching economies die

I won't pretend, there's a schadenfreude to the whole disaster.

Can we start the new thread, but leave the last 200 posts left in this thread before the 10k limit for those who want to argue the ratio of Dublin's width to Cork's height please.
