Hilarious. Well done. You obviously don't have a clue or you wouldn't post such nonsense.

Yes I know I’m winning the argument thanks. Covid Lynch mobs have an uncanny similar pattern and set of mob like behaviour- none of which you debunked I note

There must be an appetite among people in safe jobs to pay a Covid 5% tax in order to give more to those made unemployed.

I'd be happy to (and expected to and was surprised when they didn't try to bring it in) but I'd hate to see it thrown at the HSE so middle management deadwood could soak it up. It would be better if it went direct to the PUP.

Yes we get it. I think we all heard you the first time and we can imagine you with your big pitchfork running around the place.
If I was “infected” with a respiratory virus then I’d accept that as part and parcel of living on planet earth and know that I don’t inhabit some sterile biome.
I’ve often had various illnesses/viral infections- I didn’t go around like a crazed lunatic looking for where I might of picked it up and off whom. I recovered and got on with life. I suggest you and the rest of your Lynch mob best do the same thing

I'm not talking about picking up a cold, flu or even covid from someone who doesn't know that they have it, I worked in the medical IT field long enough to know that can happen.

I'm talking about someone deliberately giving it to you because they can't be arsed to do the right thing.

The rest of your post is to predictable to respond to, but can guess any other response will be as predictable.

All sorts of events were cancelled but you could still go for pints with your friends, shake hands with people, get the shift, etc. It's not all that comparable IMO.

Unless you had a hoof it didn’t effect you. Hardly going to stop you shaking hands. But all imports and exports of animals was literally introduced overnight. All Ireland’s and 6 nations cancelled immediately. Saint Patrick’s day parades kaput. Bone fires of people’s entire herds which they had bred for generations lit up the night sky’s. Army snipers literally in the countryside blitzing wild deer like an arcade game.

If you think that if we had Covid in 2001, we wouldn’t have locked down, it’s an unfounded statement. But people weren’t moaning that it’s effecting their rugrats not seeing a marching band in the parade or no marches from countless farmers being ordered to burn everything.

COVID lynch mobs. Do they wear a uniform? Do they charge a membership fee?
Lockdowns have been hard on people. I don’t think we should go back to a full lockdown but I reckon people’s health should be protected. If some restrictions have to be put in place and they can be justified then so be it.
Who has been lynched so far by the mob? Gemma O’Doherty The head the ball per chance?

I'd forego my 2% pay increase to give a hand out to the misfortunate people on PUP.

Infini · 19-10-2020 12:47AM

I'll be honest I'm just keeping away from people in general and washing my hands as much as possible, these rising numbers are still not a good sign and realistically there needs to be a lockdown of sorts. What it needs is to be balanced in terms of economics so any workplace that can stay open with social distancing and effective hygiene practises should stay open. A total lockdown should not happen unless the health service is in serious danger of collapse but there does need to be restrictions as much as people hate this.

The shops should not close but should limit the numbers of people to keep things at least manageable, they've been successful in avoiding clusters so should continue to do so. Would be nice if Gyms could stay open as well if only with reduced numbers even as I haven't heard of any problems with them so far. That being said pubs and restaurants are unfortunately in the high risk category and are ultimately going to be forced to close again as painful as it is for them.

Interesting discussion about WW2.

They did a comprehensive study that has indicated that second-generation population of the Troubles experienced long-lasting impacts of that conflict due to traumatic memories passed on by parents.

Yeah like sending millions of young men to their death!

Give over with the romantic view of the past, lives were far less cherished back then

Off topic but just on this, I remember around 2002 ( might be a year or two out ) and I was in Shannon waiting to board a plane to the canaries for a piss up with my mates, we were early twenties. Announcement came on to stand aside that the US Army were coming through after stopping to fuel up.

There was a buzz around and everyone stood back waiting to see these navy seals , action men that we all see in the movies. The doors opened and what walked passed was one of the saddest things iv ever seen. It was like a school tour, like a couple of classes of secondary school kids in fancy dress army gear. All laughing and messing being sent as lambs to slaughter not even knowing what they were losing their lives for.

It was the biggest eye opener of my life about war.

Anyway, off topic but il never forget it

So you would agree then that FMD in 2001 is not comparable to covid then?

Which was my point btw. The control measures were significant different at a personal level.

An interesting thing is actually how many more people there are in critical condition globally than the previous peak in April, and despite that a lower number of deaths. Shows how much better hospitals all around the world have become at treating patients and saving lives. In April around 50k people globally were in ICU, about half of them in Europe. Now 72k, much more spread out around the globe now obviously.

Yep Ashbourne area very high rate per population, Schools are riddled and It includes Ratoath. which won (or lost( some gaa match so needed a mega session to celebrate/ drown sorrows.But its ok schools safe so continue as usual

Ban off sales for the 6 weeks we are locked down. "But the youngsters will just take drugs". They will of course. But with alcohol sales outlawed now, when you phone the gardai about the raging party next door, they don't need any "special powers". Reasonable suspicion of prohibited substances is enough to search both property and all in it. Do this frequently, Run the little rat baxtards off out into the countryside, the message will sink in alright.

Off licenses have to be kept open to make sure the alcoholics don't get alcohol withdrawal syndrome and clog up the hospitals. It's a public health issue. Alcohol withdrawal can kill.

Dispense from chemist's if need be in specific instances. Otherwise tough ****.

Curious_Case · 19-10-2020 01:24AM

Just a thought --

Is there any provision for some kind of "travel pass" whereby you visit your local station (Garda), describe your intended trip and seek a stamped pass that will get you through checkpoints.

If not, one might attempt to travel through several counties, with a reason that satisfies the first few checkpoints, only to be told to turn back by the next one.

vafankillar · 19-10-2020 01:28AM

i've read that new zealand closed many off licences, i'm sure if we were serious about it we could see how they done it. but I feel like this is just another pointless debate people are having and it's not gonna happen either way.
