The willpower to contain it back then? People had no option back then but to earn a living to provide for themselves and their family even if sick.
For several months here we had people stay at home recieving in many cases more than they worked for just to watch Netflix and order food online.

I'm not talking about your everyday man and woman, I'm talking about that of the political leaders of the age. The mass movement of the troops is what made the Spanish Flu a pandemic. That and the coverup. This excaebrated the spread. It was a symptomatic disease. Coronavirus is not so bit of an issue.

This really annoyed me. Because I can't see anything wrong with what's in this video, yet 500 people seem to think this woman is correct in shaming people doing absolutely nothing wrong.

I thought S William Street was car free now to allow outdoor eating. Have I got that wrong or what.

Delighted to see this. There should be more of it.

Cork City is leading the way here. Have a look at how much pedestrianisation they have introduced in order to encourage outside meet ups. Kudos to them.

DCC are a disaster in comparison.

1 and 2 have been addressed many times to you which no surprise you still ignore. Now for number 3 you don't know me so less of the projecting your own beliefs on me.

I don't ignore anything, less of the projecting your own beliefs onto me.
You have outright said that schools should be open and when I bring up the possibility of kids getting seriously ill and dying you dismiss it. That says you don't care about a couple if kids bring badly affected by contracting Covid-19 in schools.

Also your hypocrisy is in show in this post where you claim I don't know yiybsi shouldn't make any assumptions about you but you are there pretty much calling another poster a liar for comments he made about a place he visited without knowing the person.

People might find this this info helpful. David Higgins has made tables for each county's Electoral Areas data.

There's an interesting article in today's IT by Naomi O'Leary and Derek Scally about contact tracing in Asia as compared with Europe. And how in Asia they investigate several days back from the infection report. This was what Philip Nolan, last week, called an "academic exercise" because we only investigate 48 hours back.

But, the experience in Asia (South Korea and Japan in particular) has been very successful and has found that small numbers of super-spreaders have been responsible for most infections and it was worth the effort to investigate back to find these sources.

I think we really dropped the ball in the early Summer when the curve was flattened. We had the chance to investigate outbreaks as they occurred back as far as necessary. Maybe if we are headed towards large scale lockdowns again, we might consider doing that for the third wave.

Probably someone on here. :pac:

What have DCC introduced to the city to encourage outdoor dining and car free zones?

Not much AFAIS. Cars along Sth William Street, grand.

Idiots. It doesn't matter if it is cold. Plenty of Northern countries enjoy outdoor eating and drinking. Can't get the opposition to the same thing in Dublin for example.

There have been a few very interesting studies regarding BDE levels cancelling out MPW.

I think it's fair to conclude that the government (and others) are lacking the BDE levels to tackle this thing. If we could somehow increase BDE I'm confident there would be a turnaround before Christmas.

Time will tell

Well if you could tell us what BDE and MPW mean that would be great for us unwashed.

mpw
mpw is an acronym standing for the term "My Penis When" randomly used in some imageboards and irc channels, it shows a way to express yourself when your penis get shocked, impressed or in someway amused by any image, news or comments.

anon1: hey look another incredibly fappable moe-moe animu this season!!

In the sense that every county will get their turn in lockdown, sure.

Most likely

Galway lockdown imminent

Do you have a source for this, I was thinking more so Cork, there wasn't any major amount for Galway yesterday although we did have 21 the day before. I suppose it could all change just like that with college season kicking off.

During the 17th century plague in London, all those infected were locked inside their houses.

For one night, the policy was switched, so that all the infected were allowed out to roam, while those not infected locked themselves inside.

Well, I thought it was an interesting historical anecdote.

I didn’t know this, but it’s a bit pointless as Bubonic plague is not that contiguous amongst humans but they didn’t know this at the time.
