    If I were in my 20's again and after 6 months my attitude would f*** this I've had enough because nothing is making any sense.

    Not every 20 year old lacks a brain though so not all will have a disgusting and selfish attitude like that.

    Donnelly yet again bull****ting on in a clip there on the news on radio that “young people are dying from the virus”.
    Needless to say nothing to back up this massive claim or figures/locations etc. He could be talking about Timbuktu. Assume he’s not talking about Ireland? What young people are dying right now (plenty from suicide of course but once it’s not Covid who give two ****es right?)?

    As we now know with c19 you can literally say anything about it (so long as it’s the current doomsday narrative) and not be questioned by our “media”

    At the start of all this in February/March it was made clear it's an illness of the elderly and vulnerable. Now they are trying to scare the generations it holds little to no danger for because now they know trying to get that cohort to restrict there lives indefinitely is a loosing battle.

    Not that they lack intelligence it’s just they (Quite rightly) don’t see the risk you people are ramming down their throats however much it’s repeated- a sign of innate intelligence to be able to rationally evaluate something rather than take all on face value

    I know the agenda but at least he could try be some way plausible. The granny killing angle was at least some way plausible!

    Anyone know how you can stop seeing the comments of posters you have on ignore?

    How many belgian medical professionals are behind that statement? What positions are they in?

    Anybody can sign it....and claim to be anything....laughable

    I would say we have more of a link to the UK and australia... immigration migration etc...not sure what close ties we have to belgium why would RTE report that?

    After reading it, no sign of who actually is behind that letter. But they say..

    We therefore demand an immediate end to all measures.

    :D

    So it must be credible

    There are other websites also referring to it, will post later. You can also view the original letter online.

    Seriously you expect plausibility from a guy that introduced the dangers of trampolines into a discussion about Covid. I'm sure SD is clever but he's also an idiot who has been shown to be woefully out of his death. That's not to say his predecessor was much better with his this is number 19 of Covid.

    No definitely wasn’t expecting it I was just pointing it out for those that didn’t hear it!

    I don't know if you're being sarcastic here, but if you're not, the difference is that hand santozer actually does kill viruses. Holy water doesn't.

    You're basically comparing vaccines to prayer on the basis that different people "swear by" each of them. :rolleyes:

    Clearly the foolish people of Ireland cannot make holy water correctly, maybe if they would follow the instructions and have it properly blessed and sanctified like the Swedish do, then the holy water would work the way it does in other countries.

    And the worlds fastest developed vaccine isn't a prayer, it is a unicorn. Its something dangled in front of us all to make us look beyond the current situation, if the concept of vaccines didn't already exist we would have to invent something else to dangle in front of the masses.

    Also a letter sent to the U.K. government including names & specialities given.

    My point is the letter is worthless....
    Anyone can "sign" it and claim to be anyone...
    I could sign it as a doctor in Brussels ..I am not a doctor in Brussels...

    Care to explain why Belgium are moving on from PCR tests that give tons of confirmed covid cases AKA perfectly healthy sick people? Co incidentally AFTER Belgium doctors signed and sent the letter.

    In Ireland the Chair of the Oireachtas Covid Committee was subject to resignation requests when he questioned some of the group think. We also had a HSE doctor being forced to resign when he asked questions. This lockdown is costing billions yet nobody is allowed to question the strategy or even to ask what is the strategy without being labelled a granny killer.

    Absolutely pathetic attitude, if only the law would tackle this we would have some hope of fighting off this disease. If you were slapped with a 500 euro fine you might think twice about it.

    Yawn.

    Just a flu, look at the data. Ignorant post as per usual.

    You were the one who posted "fighting off this disease"

    Nox this isnt exactly kung fu panda you know.

    You can not see the disease. You can not "fight it". All you, we can do is live with it.... if you think shutting down random counties with 0 notice, based on 0 science or knowledge of where disease is transmitted is living with covid I have news for you - its not living. its "surviving"

    Zero science my arse, the science very much supports lockdowns.

    Noxxy I love you but that in bold is an image I couldve done without.

    What science supports banning indoor dinning, pubs etc. that leads to more house parties?

    So has Britain,France, Spain, Italy, Czech Republic I could go on but you get the drift. All the countries I mentioned have fines in place for breaking restrictions, no need for fines if they didn't have selfish dicks.
    You really seem to dislike the people that live here, is the pandemic keeping you here against your will?

    There seems to be a large cohort of people who seem to think the whole population (besides themselves of course) have been swannying around swapping covid tissues with each other or something.
    The vast majority of the country have been attempting to follow all recommendations since March. I would suggest that this narrative, apart from being unfair, will result in people attempting to keep symptoms or positive test results secret to prevent from being ostracized or personally blamed for catching the disease.

    Basically doing a "Its terrible Father, terrible is too small a word" at every update.

    CiarraiManc, Oranage and Dangerscouse. They can't really get rid of them because they aren't that much worse than some of the hypochondriacs posting on there.

    There seems to be a competition between the three to see who can come up with the most outlandish scaremongering nonsense but just stay on the right side of the mods.

    Some of the posters here have to be government shills; there's no other explanation.

    This is so true, I know someone having to get tested this week (who has no symptoms whatsoever) due to being a close contact of a case. Comments like ‘S/he had too laid back an attitude’ being fired about. I was disgusted, people should really know better. The person followed all rules & regulations but because they weren’t freaking out about Covid, they are ‘too laid back?!’ I expect many people to avoid getting tested due to the media & society’s attitude to this.

    Am I silly thinking the government won't do another national lockdown? It'd be economic suicide.

    Hopefully not and I strongly mean that

    Mental health would suffer greatly and then add to the possibility of no covid payment for those who work from home

    Very little will make the government hit the panic button. Xmas will be a massive massive issue

    My thoughts too. Hopefully they don't.
