    The world has had pandemics before, the last major one in 1918, people had to wear masks and socially distance.

    What this current pandemic has done is once again expose that society has a layer of alarmist loons and straight-up morons who are incapable of basic common sense and reasoning.

    I see you got 22 thanks for this inaccuracy. The 1968 pandemic killed millions but you've never even heard of it because it's being kept out of the current mainstream narrative. Why? Because there were no masks or lockdowns for eerie looking black and white photos to provoke fear in people today, and there are billions of people alive who lived through it who will just say "meh, it wasn't that bad."

    "Panic; Hype"
    in your opening post OP.

    Were none of these things real OP, was TB a hype.

    Where did you get this understanding + misunderstanding.

    The 1970's panic and non jury court, was that for every case OP. No.
    It was to deal with the Troubles.

    How have you not bought an island off the coast of Ireland OP where you drink unflouridated water and have your freedoms away from the overweening state.

    So obviously "they" - Gates, Soros, Rothschilds, all powerful world governments etc - have bought off Tubridy so Fauci doesn't get tricked into exposing the dastardly plan later on.

    Saw a picture of Tubridy in the RTE canteen earlier.

    There's been no criteria outlined for the lifting of the mask mandate. Nor for social distancing. No word on when, if ever, nightclubs will reopen.

    You implied that the US is somehow less restrictive because the state of emergency has to be renewed on a regular basis.
    Dionaibh wrote: »
    Not a single government has said when all of the restrictions will be lifted. There's no end date. At least in the US there are places where mask mandates have been lifted (counties, towns, for example), and governors can't declare an indefinite state of emergency. They have to renew it every few weeks, or every month.

    Yet here's the list of Acts passed by the government this year:
    http://www.irishstatutebook.ie/eli/2020/act

    And this year's statutory instruments:
    http://www.irishstatutebook.ie/eli/2020/si

    Let's take for example the recent "Criminal Justice (Enforcement Powers) (Covid-19) Act 2020". At the very end, section 17.3:
    Act wrote:
    This Act shall continue in operation until the 9th day of November 2020, unless a resolution approving the continuation of this Act has been passed by both Houses of the Oireachtas before that date and, in that event, this Act shall continue in operation until such date as is specified in the resolution

    Or SI 128: "Health Act 1947 (Section 31a – Temporary Restrictions) (Covid-19) (Amendment) Regulations 2020" which extends the restrictions established by the earlier SI 121:
    SI 128 wrote:
    Regulation 2 of the Health Act 1947 (Section 31A – Temporary Restrictions) (Covid-19) Regulations 2020 ( S.I. No. 121 of 2020 ) is amended by the substitution of “the 5th day of May 2020” for “the 12th day of April 2020”.

    Any of the Covid related legislation I've seen has a clearly stated end date, usually in the next 6 to 8 weeks. If necessary, it is then extended. This appears to be the exact same process as you implied was better in your "at least in the US" statement.

    So unless you can find an example of some actual legislation being passed curtailing restrictions without any end date, you're talking nonsense.

    These Luciferian worshippers that own the privately owned US federal reserve and bank of international settlements wouldn't be worshipping the Devil if he wasn't real. We are getting closer to the anti Christ system being installed, and covid has speeded up this process.

    Which is silly given what you and other conspiracy theorists are claiming about vaccine research in the other thread.

    Also, how do you make sense of this in your conspiracy theory?
    You're claiming that THEY are controling the media to over hype the virus.
    But you are using data from the CDC to show this is the case.
    Why don't they have the CDC data showing it to be more severe if their goal is to make it appear severe?

    Are the CDC not in on it?

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hong_Kong_flu

    Or maybe it's not in the current mainstream narrative because "meh, it wasn't that bad". From your own link:
    The death rate from the Hong Kong flu was lower than for other 20th-century pandemics. The disease was allowed to spread through the population without restrictions on economic activity until a vaccine became available four months after it had started.
    The H3N2 virus returned during the following 1969/70 flu season, which resulted in a second, deadlier wave of deaths in Europe, Japan, and Australia.It remains in circulation today as a strain of seasonal flu
    We're literally talking about an annual flu.
    The United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimated that in total, the virus killed one million people worldwide from its beginning in July 1968 until the outbreak faded during the winter of 1969–70. The United States health authorities estimated that about 34,000 to 100,000 people died in the U.S; most excess deaths were in those 65 and older. However, fewer people died during this pandemic than in previous pandemics

    One million people killed worldwide over 18 months including two winters. 100k in the US.
    Versus nearly a million for Covid-19 so far worldwide in 6 months, before going into any winter.
    And 200k in the US so far.

    You'll notice too there's been very little mainstream media coverage of the Irish famine lately, probably for the same reason. It's got just as much relevance to the current pandemic.

    Putting everything together shows this world is controlled by a few, with massive power and influence. Only question is do they worship the devil or not? Based on former members it points to yes they do, which has huge consequences as it gives additional weight to God, the Devil and judgement of everyone.

    Both metaphorically and plainly speaking yes. It is very hard to hear people through a mask. You really have to listen closely to hear what people are saying otherwise often all you hear is a muffled voice which is impossible to understand.

    Methaphorically speaking people who speak out against covid measures such as masks are being silenced by the msm and social media platforms like twitter and facebook.

    So because it's slightly harder to hear people, they are muzzles?
    That's a very hyperbolic notion.

    And that being me on to my next point the masks are a methaphor for the silencing of opposing views. No rational human being goes out and thinks it's a good idea to cover their face. It is not a rational decision for people to wear masks they are worn by people for two reasons because people see others doing it monkey see monkey do or they are paranoid

    I don't live in Asia I don't know about their culture nor do I really care about their culture as it's got fúck all to do with Ireland or Europe. I don't know anything about people covering their faces at "anti mask" protest. Also they are not anti mask proteets they are anti covid restrictions protests as masks are not the only issue they have.

    They haven't been proven to be any of the above. This is a new virus right isn't it so how can anyone be an expert in it. No ones studied the area of covid before so until such time as qualified experts in covid are around their predictions have zero credibility. Look at Neil Ferguson as a prime example who's projections were completely amd utterly false.

    Since last Thurs (24 Sept) businesses (designated types and organisations, including hospitality, close contact services, and leisure venues) in England, MUST (by law) display a QR Code Poster, at their entrance, or face a £1,000 quid fine if they don't.

    Since this introduction, there have been some situations where folks have been 'refused service' due to them not scanning such digital identifer codes on their mobiles (maybe they didn't have {smart}phones on them, it was out of battery power, or they just didn't want to scan them).

    For a business of course, it saves on staffing costs by not asking for a quick name and contact number, but for the common person this presents a pressure to always carry a smarthpone (not a dumb phone), and to leave digital signatures, perhaps until the end of the covid (which is like never). For marketeers this could be a wet dream, they can use a secondary QR to pester folks with offers once the relentless QR scanning thing becomes the norm.

    This is not the norm though, you can generally scan it or you don't.

    There have been cases already (reported in mainstream media, online newspapers etc) of people being refused access, denied service or goods because they didn't (or can't if no smartphone present).

    Yes there is the paper and pen option, however a business can decide to refuse entry if is already busy and does not have someone at hand to jot down details, hence: refused access and service.

    Many old folks have simple phones, in the coming months, as this does become the norm... they may well start to discover they're not wanted if some busy waiter etc. hasn't got a spare 5mins and pen, paper to attend to them. Of course you'd probably call this old wans nutters etc.
