Holohan will not be remembered fondly in years to come that is for sure.

Dub81 wrote: » yep thanks for offering up that hard evidence than shows that pubs are responsible for mass outbreaks on covid-19.

Masks are proven to reduce spread, no masks are worn when folk are drinking. Reasonable enough that pubs aren't open these days and most of the pubs masquerading as restaurants should be shut also unfortunately.

Augeo wrote: » Pubs are closed so they clearly aren't responsible. If they were open they'd likely be a problem so best to keep them closed, really simple logic.
