    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.

    If he mentions ‘a new virus’ down the whole bottle in one go

    You are one to talk, you were on here earlier today bragging about how you broke the restrictions. As you were told then and I will say it again. It's morons like you that puts us in the position we are in.

    Bragging? Or just stating?

    Makes no difference to someone who’s had themselves under house arrest for some eight month anyway, does it.

    “Disimproving” is the latest addition to the lockdowners’ lexicon.

    Pour some sambuca into a glass every time they say 'crucial' and then neck it when they say 'hold firm' - you won't wake up until Thursday.

    Do you actually look up the details of anything before you post?
    It cost 850k to develop.
    https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/jul/20/cheap-popular-and-it-works-irelands-contact-tracing-app-success
    It worked, and had 1.2 million downloads in 8 days.

    The UK one cost over 35 million and flopped.

    Bad news Boss,it's wee bit more than that....

    https://committees.parliament.uk/committee/127/public-accounts-committee/news/150988/unimaginable-cost-of-test-trace-failed-to-deliver-central-promise-of-averting-another-lockdown/
    In May last year NHS Test and Trace (NHST&T) was set up with a budget of £22 billion. Since then it has been allocated £15 billion more: totalling £37 billion over two years.

    Unimaginably more...£37 BILLION :eek:....and counting.

    We were far more prudent apparently,either that or our numbers did'nt stack up enough....

    https://www.breakingnews.ie/ireland/covid-19-test-and-tracing-cost-hse-e280m-last-year-1094718.html

    The figures show that the HSE spent €9.33 million on contact tracing in 2020. A further €5.8 million was spent on costs concerning ‘test and trace’.
    Across 290 days from March to the end of December, the HSE carried out an average of 8,283 Covid-19 tests per day and reached a high point in October when the daily average was 14,521.
    PPE

    Forget Pandemic,and the supposed risks to everybody from Infants to Centenarians,we are now in a business relationship with the Virus,and the figures are eyewatering......
    Separately, the HSE FOI unit has confirmed that the value of orders made for Covid-19 PPE last year totalled €859 million.

    And it's uplifting to all of us who are in this together,to see how the money is going around....
    A Co Tipperary firm Enfer was last year paid €122.4 million to process Covid-19 tests.

    Enfer re-registered as an unlimited entity more than a decade ago and the level of profits it generates is not known. It is controlled by businessman Louis Ronan Snr.

    Enfer - which has sponsored Tipperary GAA in the past - is based out of Clonmel and processed Covid-19 tests from its Kildare labs on behalf of the National Virus Reference Laboratory

    We might be in variant surge wave territory by then. Best to stay home for now.

    I heard they are giving a limit of picking up the milk from your doorstep KM from next week. Except for Wednesdays, that's bin day so you've an extended limit on Wednesdays.

    My dog got a haircut last week and I was tempted to start crawling around on the floor barking. I can travel to the dog groomers because they are open, deemed essential and here's Lord poochington sitting here with his fresh cut and nobody in the country can get their haircut legally.

    Just have to laugh, it's nonsense. When you stop and think about it sometimes its just mind blowing. Did you ever think the day would come when you weren't 'allowed' see family, go anywhere outside of a plucked from the sky 5km limit, get a bloody haircut, so to school, go to work, have a meal, have visitors to your home the list goes on and on.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 304 ✭✭11521323


    I see they're now also using 'the big bang' to describe a scenario where the numbers suddenly increase, what an enormous load of ****e.

    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.

    top post :pac:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,726 ✭✭✭rovers_runner


    Really hope they open up in the next 2 weeks and all you posters on here get exactly what you want. Then in about 6 weeks we will be closed again til xmas. Be careful what you wish for. What you should be asking is why is there still 500/600 morons day catching this because they cant do as they are told.

    I firmly believe that tomorrow is a pivotal moment for this government. They just have to get this right. We need something positive and we need a plan so we can see the way out. If we don't get it it will be the start of the fast unravelling of them.

    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?

    Over 70% of over 65s in the US have been fully vaccinated. If she is still so worried about cases when the majority of those who are most likely to become seriously ill or die are supposedly protected, then what is the actual point of vaccination?

    It's like the boy who cried wolf at this stage. 4th of July, Thanksgiving, valentines day, the super bowl, schools going back, Florida and Texas reopening, etc etc were all supposed to result in huge surges too. They didn't. People are done with it.

    What can they do though? I hate on them more than anyone but until we've 60% vaccinated like the UK we can't enforce any plan.We can only twiddle thumbs till then.

    Restriction county based
    Construction open
    All kids sports open
    Non contact outside sports like golf, tennis and fishing.
    A coherent plan, no ifs buts maybes.

    2 things are in the balance according to Labours Aodhan O’Riordan.

    Covid spread and peoples mental health.

    That’s it.

    Economics don’t come into it.

    That’s pretty much it from Labour, Sinn Fein, PBP and Soc Dems too.

    So how exactly are they supposed to make political capital from this in the years to come?
