    Maybe, but a financially and mentally stable one at that.

    But just an hour ago you were hoping for increased suffering and associated deaths just to teach your imagined enemies a lesson.

    Is this for real? :pac::pac::pac: I haven't laughed this much in ages.

    "Forget about this year, this year is gone" - "Extend the lockdown for 6 months"

    Nonsense.

    I was wondering how the guy who used to pace outside the local tesco muttering to himself was spending lockdown

    How the **** would you police 10k. 5k was pointless so how in the hell are they gonna moderate 10!?

    See the garda check points are on the motorways again. One set up at the Black Church Inn on the N7 southband. Absolute pointless where they are set up. Cant turn anyone around where there situated. Anyone heading southbound just has to stick to the fast lane. Not pulling in anyone if your on that

    I think he's meant it as a joke? That's how I viewed it anyway.

    Embarrassing “disease” anybody taking it seriously at this stage I’m embarrassed for you. Absolutely bonkers that we’ve began to pretend that people over the age of 80 dying is surprising or a tragedy.

    "Haven't left my property since July 2020"

    What a life. The Irish mentality in full view.

    It's another side effect of lockdowns and restrictions, I genuinely think there are people who will struggle to come out of lockdown ever. It's reduced a lot of people to thinking this type of behaviour is a good thing.

    I know people who would likely get very ill or die if they contracted covid or the flu or any other tough illness, and they've not taken to locking themselves up.

    There's being careful and responsible and then there's lockdown enthusiasts.

    Enthusiast is too soft a word, fanatic or zealot is more suitable.

    It certainly does seem like the argument for level 5 is becoming more faith based than anything else especially when the government themselves can't explain why they're doing what they're doing

    Nothing less than travel within our own county will suffice tomorrow. If they announce 5k going to 10k they can shove it up in their h*le.

    Don't want to make it a county thing but I'm in an area in the west with a number of surrounding counties also having less than 5 cases a day the last couple of weeks. Time to bring this farce to an end and rescue the country's economy. Let people take responsibility and those in a vulnerable position should have their vaccine very soon.

    I'd absolutely love the county wide travel but I'll take the 10km in a heartbeat. I'll crack up if they leave it at 5km

    Why would it make any difference to you. Are you actually not travelling to somewhere that's 7 or 8k from you.

    Not having a pop at you or anything....

    I've heard the same thing a few times now and it seems something like a prisoner of war being held captive and hungry when the guard throws them a rotten apple core they eat it up in a second and are delighted with it....

    Drinking game for tomorrow's public service announcement. A wee nip every time he mutters and stutters the following:

    "We aren't where we want to be"
    "D'VARIANT"
    "Cautiously optimistic"
    "a few more weeks"
    "Public health advice"

    Guaranteed to be absolutely slaughtered by the end of it.

    "Well, yeah, you know, that's just, like, your opinion, man"

    Too right, all those people dead and in hospital should be scarlet!

    Any lockdown enthusiast that I've come across is either a public sector worker or someone who is at risk.

    Everyone else is completely fed up. I think it's fairly obvious to most that NPHET and the Government have made a mess of the pandemic.

    You missed one..

    "to avoid a fourth wave....."



    this time next year we'll still be trying to avoid a 19th wave...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,697 ✭✭✭Chivito550


    Jesus, the talk of second, third, fourth waves is so cringe. I particularly hate that this is called a third wave. The so called second and third waves are the exact same wave FFS. We simply slowed it for a bit before Xmas before it inevitably picked up speed again.

    I work in the public sector each and everyone of my colleagues is sick **** of this and wants it to end. I don’t know who you are talking to in the public sector but it’s different people to the ones o meet daily.

    I talk to lots of public sector too and I would agree that most want an end to this but most of the people I talked to who wanted more restrictions or were supportive of current measures were public sector or at risk.

    I know a public sector worker who is also "at risk", they can't wait for the restrictions to end.

    This proposal to do one thing per week is laughable.Hope he goes ahead with it -should be comedy gold.the effect will be to try justify 6 weeks -im giving ye 6 changes!on week 4 socks to be changed thursdays and tuesdays
    week 5 teeth to be brushed left to right/ week 6 ham instead of cheese in your sandwiches.A total farce,a laughing stock,this country is fkd if this type of micro managing nanny stateism becomes "normal"

    Lockding down and opening again is a wave machine

    The CDC are getting into hysterics again: Rochelle Walensky says she senses ‘impending doom’ in Covid-19 trends despite inoculation gains

    Going forward the world needs to reign-in these doom merchants. What is it with public health officials and whipping up hysteria?

    just another 'ah well wait and see' thing

    Will we get any 100% leaks tonight ?
