Bunch of inbred, plastic-bullet deserving, poxbottles.

Poxbottles haven't heard that in years,

I don't like the way they report % of cases under 45 to show us the younger people getting it but then switch to % deaths under 65 to show us it's not just the elderly that get it.

I actually seen some of the people at this on O'Connell Street earlier. A good few of them were actually wearing masks. Which makes no sense. They're a bunch of clowns regardless.

An anti mask protest and they were wearing masks ive heard it all now

Government need to close all off licences and restrict the sale of all alcohol in supermarkets etc. This will stop the house parties. All pubs need to be closed down again also.

It wont stop parties ffs, its not that hard to drive across the border and im sure there will be plenty of enterprising lads selling on the black market

Yeah cause people 100+ miles from the border will travel to get drink, and if they enforced operation fanacht again that would stop the border crossing for drink.

It wouldn't stop all of them but it would stop a high percentage, but I'm guessing you want your easy access to drink :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

And then you have utter cretins marching against masks. No wonder cases are so high. https://twitter.com/cardgallery_ie/status/1312425033457897473

Since this whole Corona thing started I have come to the conclusion that this world is full of moronic people. Total idiots like. Not everyone of course but ALOT.
And I don't say that on my high horse or anything because there's people like these douchebags who won't wear masks. There's people who believe Corona doesn't exist and no one has died. Mental stuff.

But all these people all have one thing in common... They all think they're smart and "the wool can't be pulled over their eyes"

And another death denotified too.
You'd need a calculator.

When it comes to getting buy in for restrictions, unfortunately this time around we've a much better picture overall than was had back in March/April, due to the much increased testing capacity since then, in March and April we rapidly went from one or two cases at the start of the month, to 879 in hospital and 141 in ICU in a matter of weeks, though it'd likely been brewing for a number of weeks before that unknown to us, and we were surrounded by images of mass graves and coffins in northern Italy, Madrid and later New York. It scared the f@ck out of most people and eveyone complied, no questions asked.

The spread now is also slowed down now as well as we know how to social distance, wear masks, reduce contacts etc, so overall it's growing slower and we're getting a more accurate picture of it developing, unlike March/April. However that now has the unintended effect of being like the frog slowly boiled in water.

The numbers are slowly creeping up, the hospitalisations are slowly creeping up, the ICU numbers are slowly creeping up, so many more simply don't care, the shock value is gone, it feels like it's getting worse, but nowhere near as bad as March/April, so there's no great pressure to do too much about it, until it gets to a point that the pain needed to get it back under control, the full lockdown, won't be accepted.

I feel this second wave will actually likely result in more deaths this time around as at least some level of apathy or just exhaustion has set in among almost all the population.

The only benefit this time around is that treatments have come along, not a cure all but there are some that will help. On top of that it's also only a matter of months as well until vaccinations can commence being rolled out, hopefully amongst the most vulnerable first and take most of the sting out of the deaths and hospitalisations.

I just cannot see the levels of compliance that were present in March and April returning this time around, unless it gets to the point we've hospitals swamped and coffins stacking up. Even the most strict of people have eased up a bit, and there is a cohort that have totally disengaged with the plan, rightly or wrongly.

If they close the off licenses I'll be out marching!
