    Where is this all going?? Reality.
    Please be aware the below is not meant to take away from the virus itself. I know how much damage the virus could do if let move unrestricted in the population.

    I'm just wondering has it home what exactly is happening here and worldwide.

    We're hearing stay at home, clap the frontline, watch netflix, enjoy family life and so forth but it seems fake or forced positivity.

    In Ireland alone this is what's happening.

    Thousands of people are now going to unemployed and all the effects of that

    Many, many shops and businesses will never reopen

    Very few pubs, restaurants will survive

    The major sports of this country gaelic games, soccer and rugby are banned indefinitely both for large events and at local level. No more all irelands.

    Our children can't mix with each other or go to school

    Our young people can't go to college (online studying is not the same)

    Our children can no longer play sport. Let that sink in for a second.

    Funerals, weddings and so on are no more.

    18ths, 21sts, 40ths, are no more.

    Socialising in groups is no more. How do our young people meet a partner? Genuine question.

    Concerts, festivals, parades, community days are no more.

    We're heading into a depression, never mind a recession and emigration for a better life is off the table.

    Many, many people in this country will be dependent on the state.

    Most people I talk to still think we'll get back to some type of normal soon or that we'll have a vaccine to save the day. That could be years away.

    Is life as outlined above sustainable or will the **** hit the fan over the summer and into the autumn.

    I don't think the way we're going is just making a sacrifice for the frontline as it's being portrayed by politicians and in the media.

    From what I can see it's complete destruction of our lives.

    I'm not debating the right or wrong approach, more when will it sink it what we're being asked to do.

    Your thread was moved

    Why on Earth did you decide to start a new one rather than discussing it with the mods?
