Think his plan is to keep everyone at home in masks until January 2021. He does get a lot of attention, though.

The only second wave we are likely to see is one in Rosses point

Not clear if we're on the zeroeth wave, the first wave or the second wave.

I hope the third wave doesn't interfere with my plans to throw a Halloween party.

What about the 4th wave, seeing Santa is over 70 he’d have to cocoon again come xmas and no prezzies .

New cases in Canada have been stable over the last month or so, dropping slightly if anything.

What a clown, supposedly an expert yet he adjusts his improperly fitted pound shop face-mask every two seconds.

If you did a simple google search you’d see that there’s no second wave in Canada. The province of Nova Scotia is opening gyms hairdressers pubs and restaurants on the 5th of June. New Brunswick has had 120 cases and 0 deaths.

They're back everywehre else because everywhere else has a health system that can cope with a rise in infections.

He shouldn't be going down chimneys making multiple non-essential visits to households anyway. The North Pole is perfect for quarantining.

If they reported the amount of people diagnosed with various cancers, heart disease etc or the amount of people suffering stokes every day the way they report covid-19 cases, no one would ever get up out of bed again.
Same goes for those who pass away, if we included the numbers of people who died each day from other causes in our daily news bulletin there would be such a fear that no one would ever want to ever leave the house again.

It’s just pure and utter scaremongering now. Coronavirus isn’t the only thing that you can suffer from or die of.

You can’t catch cancer, strokes or even injuries from many people so you have no need to avoid them for those reasons.
You’re the one scaremongering now.
I’m no expert on Covid-19 so I rely on the experts for my advice.

i was in dunnes yest about 18.30 in swords , the fear and panic ingrained on people's faces is bizarre. Glaring at others with masks rammed on their faces. That's the real pandemic

Oh I got a dose of it today.

It’s my daughters birthday and there’s a local garden and cafe that have started up again doing takeaway food etc and a great line of takeaway smoothies.

So as treat I brought my two daughters this morning around 11 or so for a smoothie whilst mammy finishes the birthday cake and to give her a bit of peace.

So as I que for the smoothie an atypical Karen or a stfah Sharon from Facebook as I refer to them turns to me as I stand with my kids and she’s fully kitted out with mask gloves and the lot, looks me up and down and with a scowl asks “should they really be out with you?”

So a bit taken aback I said excuse me, she grunts and said “at the very least they should be wearing masks even though it’s is school time and I suppose no school as you’re down for the weekend anyway as she nods at my car”

Of course it’s then I realise my reg is a 192 D reg car as she nods to it.

So I said told both of my girls that maybe they should wait by the picnic bench that was in the shade rather than standing in the sun with me and I let Karen/Sharon have it with both barrels.

Told her she would be better off minding her own business to begin with and if she had any kind of wit or brains she could plainly see the sticker on the car and where it’s actually bought and do I sound like I’m from Dublin albeit probably not as diplomatically as that to be fair.

This results in Karen actually asking for the owner/manager I sh1t you not, of course when he comes we actually know each other well so he greets me says hello and she tells him it’s not right that me and my kids are allowed in here with others with no masks and when she asked me about it I abused her and told her to mind my own business. She queries whether I’m even within my 5k

The manager again looks at me, I tell him the story and he informs Karen that there’s no rules in regarding to masks or bringing kids and what’s more he knows me and knows I’m well within the 5k limit etc.

The funny thing is after queuing Karen turns on her heels, storms out and me and the manager look at each other trying to figure out who the hell she is.

They’re everywhere, the whole lockdown has actually given them a reason to exist.

Because the Irish attitude is I'll get a warning, then I'll get another one, and then he'll give me a chance, and then he will give me one last warning, and then I'll be able to get out of a fine because my cousin's nephew's friend's neighbour is a Garda.

"Private hospitals ‘takeover’ by State will not be extended past June
Deal came under fire over its cost and the lack of use of much private hospital capacity"

Step in a right direction, and a one that will save 115m + per month of taxpayers money starting 1 July onwards.

PS seems like they either have no money (which is true) or that they dont envisage a 2nd wave (which is also probably true, except Tony)

Well If they didn’t tell lies in the first place maybe people would more likely obey that law rather than thinking they’ll get a warning.

Most Gardai would give you a warning if you weren't acting the boll1x.

The Most Important Coronavirus Statistic: 42% Of U.S. Deaths Are From 0.6% Of The Population

Nursing homes and assisted living facilities: The #1 COVID problem

2.1 million Americans, representing 0.62% of the U.S. population, reside in nursing homes and assisted living facilities. (Nursing homes are residences for seniors needing help with activities of daily living, such as taking a shower or getting dressed, who also require 24/7 medical supervision; assisted living facilities are designed for seniors who need help with activities of daily living, but don’t require full-time on-site medical supervision.)

Where did you see that? Many gardaí have been making it up as they go along from what I've seen.

And it’s a law I break proudly. I have to travel 15kms to see my kids. If I get fined I’ll rip it up. Not one cent of a fine would I pay for my parental responsibilities.

If they can't relax the rules in the summer we haven't a hope when the winter comes they'll be telling us to stay inside from September to next May or June
