    Heard something on the BBC this morning that I knew immediately would get a laugh on this thread. A doctor was on, and when asked about possible return of restrictions he said he would prefer to use the word protections. We now have woke covid, god forbid something is described as a restriction, time to rename the thread, its the relaxation of protections thread 😂

    A very good point.

    After 2 years of the Covid Response Plan,One CEO and One CMO,has there been any actual improvement in the Country's overall health provision,particularly the provision of Intensive Care infrastructure ?

    We are only now seeing the deaths associated with General Medicine being closed down,along with the suspension of a variety of treatment regiemes for serious illnesses.

    The Irish Media appear to have NO stomach for any critical analysis of those 2 years,and repeatedly continue to focus intently on restarting the Fear Factor amongst the general public.

    The Irish population remains highly subserviant,with high rates of buy-in to whatever is being broadcast on the mainstream channels.

    That,of itself is not a surprise given our past history of becoming comfortable whilst under oppression,but it is,in the current situation going to eventually lead to Social Conflict,which most likely is one of the outcomes already considered by the Covid promotion industry.

    Resistance may well be futile,however it remains a necessity if Ireland and it's people are to regain full freedoms. 😉


    Men, it has been well said, think in herds; it will be seen that they go mad in herds, while they only recover their senses slowly, and one by one.

    I wasn't moaning. I was pointing out how wrong you were back in December/January.

    I don't post in this thread every day. It actually hasn't been very active until the past few days with people seemingly getting themselves all worked up about something that might not happen.

    Are people wrong to get worked up given what we know about this government’s need to kowtow to an extremely tiny cohort of people? And also with the amount of people who will do ANYTHING they are told to do cheering them on.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,842 ✭✭✭Don't Chute!


    I’m not getting worked up. You are the one who is constantly posting in here complaining about people posting in here.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,679 ✭✭✭Penfailed


    You ask if people are wrong to get worked up but then say you're not getting worked up...make up your mind.

    In that case, then yes, people are wrong to get worked up.

    A couple of comments from Varadkar today:

    “”Ireland will get through the current summer Covid-19 wave without the need for further restrictions, according to Tánaiste Leo Varadkar.””


    ””The Tanaiste said that it is possible that the Government will ask people to wear masks in certain settings during the winter, but said he does not envisage a return of "restrictions that restrict people's freedoms or cause people's businesses to close."

    However, he added that this could not ultimately be ruled out””

    ^^ That's pretty much saying that masks will be back



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,366 ✭✭✭✭hotmail.com


    Leo and the government seem intent on bringing some restrictions back.

    Is this a strategy to distract the public from rising bills and the property madness at the moment?

    Brilliant 👏

    Simply madness Covid is even been discussed at this stage



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,957 ✭✭✭kirk.


    The masks is a handy get out for the winter flu/COVID crisis

    I reckon the above is a large part of it seeing as how nothing else has been done about it



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,957 ✭✭✭kirk.


    And why is Leo saying what they might do when he hasn't received any advice from CMO

    I thought CMO was deciding for government

    Kite flying is annoying as fukk

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,623 ✭✭✭Micky 32


    According to the new CMO today she acknowledges that Covid will be around for the medium or longterm so we basically have to learn to live with it. Spot on!

    MM talking about personal responsibility and vaccination, not playing up masks

    Really hard to know , it's like good cop bad cop with him and varadkar

    It'll come down to the CMO anyhow politicians just talking sh1te to appease the public



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,623 ✭✭✭Micky 32


    To be fair there’s nothing new about that sentence. He always says that. It’s politics. His comments today are mostly positive.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,842 ✭✭✭Don't Chute!


    Ok so after over two years of government kite flying and people like you telling us this that and the other won’t happen only for it to then happen we are now supposed to believe that no, no, no THIS time it’s different? I don’t think so. People are worried and they absolutely should be, after all they STILL haven’t done a single thing to improve the health service and as we all know that’s what this is all about, keeping the heat off the government and the HSE for their continued incompetence.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,957 ✭✭✭kirk.


    It'll surely come down to intensive care numbers

    Lots of workplace disruption now but we're living with it

    The politicians though are annoying as fukk cos they keep commenting on unknowns and decisions outside their expertise



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 40,205 ✭✭✭✭PTH2009


    Anyone ask the question why is the health service been upgraded ?

    Nope just do nothing and blame retail workers and the likes. People out living there lives etc



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,957 ✭✭✭kirk.


    Theyll have some answer ready about plans or reviews or enquiries usually

    Nothing ever gets done

    Didn't varadkar or Martin say ICU was the criteria for restrictions so the whole country is over a barrel over a few ICU spots



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,957 ✭✭✭kirk.


    Sounds like they don't know MM and LV are saying the opposite to each other

    Sounds like they're just trying to stay relevant and kite flying

    MM is saying advisory plus vaccination so i reckon they'll push for advisory on masks and vaccination

    Fatigue will set in if they keep shuffling mandatory restrictions I reckon but if they pull off an 'all in this together' coup I reckon that's the way to go



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 40,205 ✭✭✭✭PTH2009


    The PUP won't be €350 per week that's for sure



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,366 ✭✭✭✭hotmail.com


    The new Chief Medical Officer said today that we need to forget about testing at home now.

    So people still buying antigen testing are not only wasting their money during a cost of living crisis, but also acting against the medical advice.
