    Yeah and there were 900+ deaths there today and the leader of the country is in ICU with the virus after playing it down. Let's not follow the UK too closely on this one.

    The poster you were replying to was speaking about the UK.

    Ask Simon Harris. Bar Covid 19 arriving he'd be charcoal by now.

    Think of experts as being like your GP. He/She tells you to stop smoking or you will die. You stop smoking for a few weeks. Then the doubts start to creep in. You start to think what's life if I can't have the odd smoke. Very soon you find yourself thinking "Doctors don't know everything."

    Bad example. Simon Harris was due to lose his Ministry in a Dail vote, but he was re-elected handily enough eight weeks ago.

    Do burpees in your house so. Don't be increasing the risks.

    I can’t. I’ve a disc protrusion and need to walk. I’m fairly remote so it’s grand for me where I am. Might even get away with the challenge above outdoors lol

    I'm aware of that.......

    I'm saying whatever BS the UK is thinking of doing in the way of relaxation of restrictions shouldn't be replicated here.

    Right lads, I'm logging off. Seeing as it's the only thing we've all agreed on I think we should all masturbate a minimum of once before resuming the debate tomorrow.

    No you said people shouldn't leave their houses at all to exercise as they weren't supposed to leave the house.

    They shouldn't...what the rules say you can do and what you should do are two different things. Nobody should to be out atm bar for essentials like food and medical items. Not having a walk won't kill you.

    Airline industry is utterly finished without a massive bailout. A week of Icelandic ash nearly did for them and that was just northern europe. Were going on three weeks of this now, with 0 customers.

    It'll be the last thing to recover and it will be years to get back up to where it was. It's perceived as very high risk for covid 19 and people will choose just not to travel. Business travel will be minimised as companies don't want to expose staff and lots more will be going on via new technology.
    I think there will be a lot of people in the Airline/travel industry looking st new careers.

    To be fair to him, the HSE is an out of control monster and any health minister represents the soft underbelly of the existing government. That said, I'm a floating voter with no political allegiance.

    Yes. The first part. The part you seem to have glossed over.

    Been a big believer of this for a while now, worldwide. I'd say the vast majority are showing no symptoms at all.

    How many people on this thread who used work in offices but can now work from home would continue to do so for say three months if it was suggested?

    I still can't wrap my head around why he is seen to be doing such a great job.

    PPE for health care workers - fail
    Protecting the elderly - fail
    Adequate testing - fail

    That's 3 massive failures alone and himself and Leo need to be held to account for all of them.

    It was clear at the beginning that they had no plan going into these phased restrictions and it's also clear they haven't the foggiest on how to get the country out of them.

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

    Forever if it was allowed :pac:

    No it hasn't actually because that's a f'ing moronic way of thinking.

    If the joggers and every other flute out for a jollier stayed in their gaff like they're supposed to as well there wouldn't be that issue. Stay in your f'ing house, out for food or medical supplies otherwise stay in.

    But sure open the parks then more people will become infected and more will die..the best strategy according to you.

    London is different to other cities in that there are so many people with no outside space at all and very little inside space. Outside exercise is banned in Spain but almost every household there has at least a balcony, and many outside cities have gardens with pools.

    Not having any exercise or spending any time outside for up to 2-3 months is tremendously bad for mental and physical health. I'd bet you a thousand euros that you'd soon change your tune if YOU had to live like this.

    Has it occurred to you at all that almost all of these people who died were infected before the lockdown started? It hasn't even been three weeks.

    I'm not so sure. People said that after 9/11 and it was very soon back to something approaching 'normal'. Even the most pessimistic predictions say there should be a vaccine within 18 months. What makes you think it will be years to recover? People these days are used to travelling and they won't give it up lightly. Plenty of people holding onto vouchers for cancelled flights and itching to get away already.

    This would confirm the results of the Icelandic studies. It's surely extremely likely to be true. If covid is as infectious as they say, there is no way on earth that there are so relatively few cases in London when all of us were crammed onto crowded tubes, buses and overgrounds until mid to late March.

    As is customary in this country, we reward failure and mediocrity, Leo will most likely remain Taoiseach for the next 2 years or so, MM the other half of the next 5 years.
    Holohan has survived previous national scandals and will most likely retire with the sort of pension that most of us couldn't dream of even in full time employment no matter how he manages this crisis.
