Its just as selfish to expect people to keep wearing them just to accommodate you.

Is this the theory that all altruism is essentially selfish in that the altruistic act is purely for the individuals ego, or is it an extremely bad point where person a wearing a mask because they don’t want to spread Covid should they have it is the same a person b who doesn’t want to wear a mask because “nazi mask gestapo”?

There's increasing evidence that vaccination helps to stop spread. I'm not an anti mask type by any stretch of the imagination (in fact I'd be happy enough wearing one in the winter in future to reduce my chances of spreading any kind of respiratory virus), but calling people selfish for not wearing masks after being vaccinated is a bit much.

Yes, possible evidence. That it 'helps' to stop it. For the sake of a few months until every one is vaccinated, its hardly that much imposition to expect people to continue to protect each other. Unless you are a selfish git I guess.

The mask is to stop your spreading covid to others.

1% possibly by 2% indoors and that's cases not ICU admissions, definitely not worth the disconnect.

In what part of the way back to normal should they go?

Tell me this though, what makes you think that we will have restrictions next winter?

You mean apart form the medical experts, WHO, scientists, doctors, virologists, immunologists. health advisers, the UK Roadmap, and world leaders stating it? Hmmm, call it a hunch.

But I'm not surprised you'd say you are. It's just another example of misinformed shyite talk that's rampant throughout this thread. In 16 years on boards I've never seen a thread with so much inaccuracies, misinformation, and out right lies declared as proven facts.

Protip: when you post ****e on boards and 12 people like your post, it doesn't validate your 'fact'. It just means there's 12 more loons on the thread.

The whole thread belongs in Conspiracy Theories.

looks like the 3rd wave was silently wreaking havoc long before Christmas. In fact it started as early as 22 November. So those of you who have being blaming the madness of the Irish out partying and killing their elderly relatives need to stop and maybe need to apologise. This is a pandemic and no amount of finger pointing and blaming would have stopped it. It seems to have hit peak point right in line with our annual wave of flu..... ironic that isnt it?

What if mitigation measures make little difference in the long term and the highly transmissible virus, not people, is to blame after all.

I don't know, masks seem to bother some people more than others. Everyone is different. I've gotten used to them myself and like I said, happy enough to keep wearing one but I can see why others would feel differently.

I find them a great nose warmer. I even wear it walking outdoors in the cold

You should calm down, they say high blood pressure could be an underlying issue if you catch covid. Be careful there now.

So what lies declared as proven fact were posted? I’m curious to know what they are.

If it was refutable, you’d refute it. You can’t though, can you? It’s usually pretty easy to refute BS. That’s the nature of BS.

I'm just saying that many people will use the fact that other people are walking around without masks because they have been vaccinated to abandon masks wearing because they don't agree with it even though they have no intention of getting vaccinated ever.

"tinfoil hatter" and "conspiracy theorist" labels being insinuated now, these attacks are like toys being thrown from a pram when you are called out for being smug, self-righteous, pompous but ultimately ignorant.

The only thing I'm insinuating is the possibility that you are against mask wearing.
Your rant is just paranoia. I didn't mention anything about tinfoil hats or conspiracy theorists.

So on the Claire Byrne show they done a magic poll on 1000 aldults 'should music festivals go ahead this year if a large Majority of the population has been vaccined ?'

Yes- 33%
No- 49%
Don't Know- 12%

NPHET be very happy with that

I think as society opens up when vaccinated i have a feeling those figures might start changing a bit.

Some professor on now saying 80% of the population will have to be vaccinated for festivals/gigs to return

CB is bloody thrilled with the poll result

I would say no sooner than after the bank holiday in April.

Should hopefully be extended to county travel.

You must be able to do outdoor activities anywhere in April, infact it should be encouraged, the CDC found that of the people admitted to hospital, 78% were heavy and really feckin heavy.

Trust me if there was anything of substance or relevance there to refute I would. But an info graphic about inter personal abusive relationships being copied and pasted into a rant about covid - thats simply is neither substantive or relevant. That's about it.

What has the Center for Disease Control and Prevention in the United States got to do with Ireland considering their present rate of vaccination and that advice is for those who have been vaccinated in the US?

Should we write emails to encourage them or what?

“Y-you’re so wrong that it’s impossible for me to tell you how or why you’re wrong! That’s how wrong you are! You’re so wrong that it’s not even worth explaining, though I will post about it several times explaining that.”

Try harder next time my man. Also maybe re-read my post and the infographic. Also, if you want to refute anything I said or the general idea put forth by me posting that infographic, again, please go ahead. I’ll even make it easy for you:

Based on the American Psychiatric Association, Center for Workplace Mental Health’s 15 abusive relationship signals, our government is currently exhibiting behaviours of an abusive relationship.

Nothing stopping you travelling outside your 5km. Most people are at it. Absolute ridiculous restriction. Was in Howth at the weekend and the place was packed. Great to see so many people out enjoying the great weather
