    Any bright young person should learn how to work at first, not to wait for freebies.

    how do you propose the bright young people learn to work when a fifth of the population is out of work and a big chunk of businesses are shut down?

    Well the bright young people had problem with work even before covid, so I don't know.

    so was there any logic behind what you were saying or was it just the usual petty jab against young people?

    Was answering to poster calling for emigration of young peeps. The usual petty jab against young ones is based on my own experience, availability and will to actually work is at the best questionable.

    I think he’s trying to suggest young people didn’t work before Covid when we had record numbers of employment.

    Maybe some of us want more out of life than simply surviving...

    By the time we are all vaccinated, people will have lost 2 years.

    Unfortunately before they have a chance to be vaccinated many will have lost the rest of their lives due to the Covid-19 virus. But then you seem to have issues comprehending that.

    Which judging the median age of death wouldn’t have been very long.

    The he, is the one who works here for last 15 years, on probably low income, paying his tax etc. And reading this thread, sometimes. Reading posts here surely explains a lot.

    Was that the loon speaking at the 5G rally?

    In this context,I can put his 5G musings aside,and instead focus on the Care Home issue....

    https://www.irishtimes.com/news/health/gp-to-close-practice-after-threat-of-suspension-over-anti-mask-views-1.4375726
    He is the third doctor to come under pressure after expressing anti-lockdown views. Dr Martin Feeley resigned as clinical director of Dublin Midlands Hospital Group last month after advocating the shielding of vulnerable groups and the lifting of general restrictions. Limerick GP Pat Morrissey was this week removed as chairman of ShannonDoc after criticising the National Public Health Emergency Team (Nphet) and saying he treats patients with hydroxychloroquine against official guidelines.

    If it is of any use to the "accused" I can assure the Medical Council that listening to these contrarian views does not of itself result in my ignoring any or all of the Health recommendations,but rather instead,allows me to broaden the scope of information which informs my decisions...which surely is a positive thing ?

    The President of the Medical Council expresses her view....
    Dr Doyle said the council was “concerned about your attendance at public events where social distancing is not observed and your public statements, whether via social media or otherwise, which would tend to undermine the regulations and guidelines published by the State in respect of the wearing of face coverings”.

    It would appear that anybody who "tends to" disagree with Government Policy regarding CV-19 now faces some extreme sanctions.

    The New Ireland does indeed beckon ?

    A record 2.36M had jobs in Ireland during the last 3 months of 2019.

    A simple google would show you that.

    Sure if you put aside the mass murder on an absolute epic scale, Harold Shipman was a decent GP.

    No wonder you don't see them on the regular tv panels.

    If you are not wondering why you haven't seen an expert give contrarian views to what we are being spoonfed, then, you need to start asking yourself why not?

    As I mentioned yesterday, nobody can even point to an expert, that gets regular media coverage, that has proven to be spot on in their predictions.

    Someone else who doesn’t know what a median is


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,527 ✭✭✭copeyhagen


    I find it worrying that you don’t. Think about it.

    Also, it’s actually more like 99.4%. Which it seems sounds very low to you, but would in fact be 30,000 people in Ireland

    all those people probably would have died from the seasonal flu


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,660 ✭✭✭FintanMcluskey

    I do, and having seen you comment twice about it, I don’t think you actually do

    Was asking for stats, not for "nearly" statement. Anyway, this thread is famous for downplaying effect of the virus, I just don't understand why? Unless you are running some secret club here.

    ffs, the 3 figures are stats :rolleyes:

    regarding the deaths, we would know if there were any transparency from the HSE and Nphet, but they drip feed inforation in a weird form of scaremongering, which works on the likes of yourself.

    i think it was of 2100 deaths at the time, 2000 were underlying previously known conditions..

    It means 50% are below that number and 50% above. Simple as that. So when someone uses median to suggest that it’s only those 83 and older that are impacted, it suggests they don’t know what a median is.

    Oops sorry, I have absolutely no idea when you achieve that. But yeah I'm wrong in generalising. My bad.

    Horses for courses surely,have you any evidence to point to Dr De Brún killing more of his elderly patienets than Covid,or is that NOT what you actually meant ?

    De Brún is not alone in his opinions regarding Care Home Covid management.

    It has become exposed as possibly,THE greatest flaw,in the Western Worlds handling of the Pandemic.

    The huge and rapid increase in Life Expectancy throughout the developed World has led to the Care Home phenomenon whereby the long established Family Unit has been dismantled to allow for mass movement,gender equality,property ownership and many other social developments.

    Having overseen such a vast Social change in the placement and care of elderly people,and being fully aware of that groups increased suceptibility to infections and maladies,State Mechanisms everywhere should have moved to protect the already segregated elderly from the beginning of Covid-19.

    Instead we now rely on the likes of Dr De Brún to act as some form of Conscience at arms length,something which reflects badly on more than just the Politicians...:o

    What's the solution though

    They need to be cared for , unless you isolate the staff also it's going to get into care homes

    Elderly family members in mixed family units with children and grand children is hardly a better solution

    What's the solution


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 718 ✭✭✭Kunta Kinte


    Or we can simply reopen and get back to normal right now

    You are living in fantasy land if you believe this has the slightest chance of happening any time in the near future.

    https://www.breakingnews.ie/ireland/no-mass-gatherings-until-70-of-the-population-vaccinated-says-nphet-member-1073452.html

    Obviously - this newest lockdown extension was EU mandated and policy to just hold the line till people get vaccinated

    70% of population -how long will it take at this rate

    2025?
