    Sweden looks to be getting a lot worse. Poor compliance, not acting in time. A stitch in time saves nine.

    Good to know, can’t see us reaching those levels in flu season to be very honest.

    People need to stop getting tested

    Does putting the old and vulnerable at undue risk for an indeterminate time for our leisure not fall into a similar moral quandary?

    How do we reconcile that?

    No one is putting the old and vulnerable at risk. The risk to them is from Covid. Other people are not to blame.

    See the government is listening to them and they will decide whether we get back to any sense of normality for Christmas. So, it doesn’t really matter what I think, they call the shots that affect us all, whether we like it or not

    Just get on with your life, there is a serious global overreaction to what to most people is just A common cold. As for long Covid, hypochondriacs and attention seekers.

    Obviously you have never been affected by man flu, typical of this thread to downplay the seriousness of it.

    This is what zero covid achieves. People should think of this instead of forever lockdowns.

    They had fans back at a game in Scotland yesterday as well.

    In Australia and New Zealand they have full houses at games and have done since the summer.

    The AFL grand final was played in front of 30,000 people in a 36,000 seater stadium.

    Australia is only just out of a strict lockdown in some parts, they couldn't go over 5km, there was no full stadiums.

    Reading stories like this makes me think there is no way we are even now catching anywhere close to all cases.

    https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/54848436

    I mean if it wasn't for random testing Mancini wouldn't have even know he had it- no close contact with a case, no symptoms, nothing.

    US colleges have reported more than a quarter million coronavirus infections

    But, but, but... we are told that Universities are not a problem !

    That is an bizarre statement. Alternate facts alive and well in a post Trump era.

    Time and again college student parties have been identified as a major source of infection. Shared living spaces have been identified as a major source of infection.

    Where in the world are you getting that nonsense from?

    Schools are not a problem no matter how much you want them to be.

    We have three companies breeding the things in large numbers here. So only a matter of time unless we do what theyre doing in denmark

    I think we should wipe out all the Chickens, turkeys, cattle, sheep, pigs etc be done with them and declare Ireland a Vegan island. The salads I could make you would blow your mind. I’d spoon feed you hummus and mung beans until you reach orbit. We have to meet our 2030 targets that the government signed us up for., and making meat a expensive luxury that the peasantry can’t afford is one of them.

    It only works on islands with no borders? Just as long as you close your eyes to what is happening in Thailand, Vietnam, China, Korea, Mongolia etc etc that definately holds true ya.

    Why is a very harsh lockdown followed by a full 100% return to normal with no social distancing (except for international travel) so much better than a slightly less harsh lockdown and a 60% return to normal with social distancing? I'd take the first one any day!

    Here's an Irish doctor working there's perspective. Very informative of the contrast between here and there. Big difference is quarantine. Otherwise little point in locking down every 3 months.

    I believe that this is Melbourne Man, a public health consultant.

    So maybe lay off the schoolyard stuff, as he's not familiar with the 'tone' of boardsies experts.

    Are kids soccer games allowed? I live beside my local soccer ground and I'm surprised I've just seen approximately 150 cars at pitch and a full competitive match has just been played, seems bizzare to me
