Will there be another lockdown?

Another genius lazy to read, I didn't suggest nor mentioned lockdown. You guys have some imagination.

It was a simple question? You seem to give the impression that we can’t live with Covid, so would a lockdown be the solution? Do you want one? Simple yes or no.

The path to avoiding more restrictions would appear to be narrowing by the day. A reckless approach has been adopted since the summer not just by those in charge but by many ordinary people who feel entitled in a global pandemic to have their enjoyment and do what they like.

This is not just an Ireland issue, it's a western issue, a societal one.

The only way out of rolling restrictions is the complete suppression of this virus. There is no other way.

And we will go through this trauma as the price of people, for example, wanting a night out?

There is something seriously eschew in the priorities and how we are going about things.

I am out and about, thanks for your concern.

But I'm avoiding thronged bars and crowded indoor areas, because I feel like I should take some Personal Responsibility (you know, that thing you keep banging on about) for trying to slow the spread of the virus.

And if our health service was fooked before a pandemic hit, do you not think that some modification of behaviour might be necessary until we get it adjusted accordingly? Not that I'm holding my breath on that front, mind you.

No I’m not one of those NPHET=Illuminati confirmed types. As I see it I spent 18 months following restrictions, I missed family milestones/contact for months on end. I wash my hands on entry and exit from every shop, I wear a clean mask daily and I’ve got both my vaccine shots as soon as I was able to. I’ve done my part.

If the numbers are rising now and deaths increase - it’s sad and all but I really don’t care anymore, I’m sick of the whole fuckin thing at this point and I’ve done what was asked but I’m not doing a single thing more. I’m willing to take my chances now and get back to normal - the threat is always there just like flu and if I get it I get it. Just like I could get hit by a bus or crash my car or die in a house fire tomorrow, life is for living not to be a shivering nervous wreck about what “might” happen.

Yes a total clueless post you replied to. I’m guessing the poster climbed from under the bed after a few months and doesn’t realise that zero covid with Delta is not possible.

Unfortunately I think the vast majority of people would obey another lockdown!

Oh, it's all about you, isn't it?

Not bothered replying to that bunch of tired clichés, if I'm honest.

And I'm out.

Nphet and the government decided to stop contact tracing in schools. The teachers were against it and in one school were they had over 30 cases and the school staff wanted to close the school temporarily and have remote learning. Next day they are forced by the authorities to reopen. A lot of retarded decisions were made by the government and Nphet there that caused it to spread. They can't keep blaming the non vaxxed because it's the government and Nphets incompetent decision in this case that caused it to spread. I want to live my life the way I want to live it and I'm fully vaxxed. Any dog on the street could have told Tony Houlihan that covid could spread from children to adults. See what I did there.

wrong - my stubborn wouldn't get tested - said it was a cold - gave it to Mum who passed away Sept 24th.. bro 42 fully vaccinated

I love how people say I won't accept a lockdown. What can you do if the shops are closed and hospitality is closed? We will just have to accept it unfortunately.

Over 90% of people are vaccinated. If we have another lockdown that means that vaccines have failed. We must have one of the highest percentages of population vaccinated in a country in the world. If we end up in another lockdown after that I mean it just seems ridiculous.
