I think it will all unravel in phase 3. Any pub that serves food will be open in June 29th under the guise of a restaurant. That’s going to open the floodgates

The important thing is that if you HAVE to get it, at least keep your dose of the virus small. That is a crucial point. The larger the dose of the virus you're exposed to together the worse it seems to be. That's why so many health practitioners, often even ones that are young and healthy, are dying from it.

The worst thing would be to be really assiduous for a while and then all of a suddenly to go out and go to the barbers and in trains and everywhere you will be exposed to people who might have it and a new dose every day.

Give me strength honestly. The extreme scaremongering is disgusting. What a fruitcake.

Afair, you are not meant to fiddle with it after you put it on and you are meant to wash your hands after you take it off (...that sentence is a bit carry on film-ish :pac:)

So if you put it on to go shopping, you probably would end up driving home with it still on (+ taking it off when you get home) if following these directions.

Reminds me of the UCD science department years ago. There’s honestly a lot of crazy stereotypical science types going around- often on the spectrum with desperate social skills. Really ignorant and blunt as a young 1st year was a little bit of a shock. Killeen would be no different. Belligerent and full of his own self importance

Didn't say you are denying the virus exist.

You compared me to a climate change denier in the context of covid19. So it amounts to the same thing. Else your post makes no sense

That gob****e is actually a disgrace. From the way he is sitting with his elbows propped up like that, the cheap polo shirt and the smug pauses before he answers like he is some kind of oracle.
Was there at least some kind of challenge from Cooper as to his justification for his smug 'predictions'?

That's without even mentioning the embarrassing fiddling with the mask. What's he trying to prove by being the only person going on national TV with (an ineffective) mask? Such an attention seeking look-at-me move.

Why did he come back? Travel is very “risky”, Surely if he was so fcukin worried he wouldn’t be rushing back here? Son or not

I think they do every second night. Pity indeed that it wasn’t Ivan.

Still, even with Matt at the helm, it’s not as bad as the travesty of a Claire Byrne show.

And again, Who said they didn’t? You’re like Nphet, moving the goalposts- just admit you’re wrong and move on like a good grown up

This is patently untrue. There are no reports, that I am aware of, of "so many" young and healthy health care professionals dying from this here. Can you please provide some evidence for this claim

It's not just for funding. He said he was making a statement given reference to Singapore. Did admit he was not perfect in handling the mask.

They tend to get a larger load of the virus and the body can't cope with the inevitable cytokine storm.

This reminds me of the time the BBC accidentally interviewed Guy Coma about an Apple lawsuit.

Bit cynical

If Ireland and countries like Ireland are reopening it means that the original strategy has failed. We are lifting restrictions because we simply can't sustain them any longer either economically or otherwise and not because they have "worked".

They can only be considered to have worked if either the virus has been eradicated (it has not), a vaccine has become available (it has not), or drugs have been developed that render the illness due to covid-19 relatively harmless (they have not).

Had any of these things happened, the restrictions could have been justified on the basis that we were holding out until they happened. Since we don't know when these things will happen, all we can really say is that we have brought things back to an earlier stage of the outbreak, but nothing yet has really been solved. At the moment we are just rolling back on an earlier overreaction.

Travelled 7km yesterday in the car to walk 15 mins up a hill in the countryside. I watched an amazing sunset and it felt good.... Really good.
First time I have broken the perimeter apart from to go shopping.
I'll be doing more of that.
