Back in 2008 before the banks crashed, I sat back and watched countless 18 to 20yr olds roll up to work in their brand new cars... All living the dream, all sporting the latest techno gadgets... Robed in branded designer clothing..

I thought to myself.. These snowflakes will crumble at the first sign of hardship.. Never seen a beanz on toast dinner, awaiting the Lords Day (Payday)

Now, over a decade later.. That generation are finding it difficult to deal with life's challenges, never been used of hard days...

The elderly are made of tougher stuff.. They won't flinch at a virus. Give these guys some credit, most of them were brought up during or after WW2, these guys wouldn't have seen a new pair of shoes growing up, let alone a new car and visa card.... Give me a break!

The youth of today (not all granted), overall failed miserabley to do their bit to offset the virus.. basically by staying at home with their playstations and smart phones..

The elderly did their bit by manning the front lines as cannon fodder...

Yep... They'll manage this alright..

So the people saying no to the army on the streets, will you be happy to pay a lot more tax for all the people who will be put on the dole because of all the closed businesses? Remember no emigration escape valve this time around.

Now if you want people to take you seriously, stop misquoting and taking out of context when you are replying, thank you .

This is when we need them, I now agree with those posters who have called for it .
Other countries have their armies out enforcing curfews etc.

Is this a misquote?

Simon Harris said level 3 clearly didnt work. Move to higher restrictions, probably 4, which in my humble opinion, not a scientist or anything wont work either.

You might as well be talking to the wall, if I hear one more time about cancer deaths. Can people not understand it or get it, if there are too many covid patients in a hospital needing treatment, that means people who are having strokes, heart attacks, may not the care they need. When you are bad with covid in hospital it takes a huge amount of resources to keep you alive. Jane mac what is wrong with people that they cant understand.

Yes and it’s not just about keeping them alive, there is huge amount of time and resources that goes into stopping it spreading through the hospital. This is being very poorly communicated by the government.

For example, a person that gets as admitted with a broken leg but happens to test positive for covid would be use more resources and time in terms of disease control even if they had no covid symptoms. It’s the huge level of disruption it causes to hospitals and treatment that is the problem

Hard times, hard times. My grandparents were so poor they had to go foraging for their breakfast in the woods before school. My granda and his 5 brothers only had 3 pairs of shoes so they took a shoe each and hopped through the woods on one leg foraging for their breakfast. Never complained once.

You sound a bit bitter and jealous tbh here. So you want 28-30 year olds to stay at home with their PlayStations, how do you expect them to pay rent or a mortgage. Its the elderly that are the most vulnerable, by your post they should just man the **** up and deal with the virus instead of hiding from it.

He'd probably wail like an infant if his previous pension was taxed any bit extra to help foot the bill. Assuming he's not a wind up merchant

I only know about the INMO , we have done everything asked over us and frankly a lot more .
Also know a lot of lab and clerical staff working unpaid overtime and weekends trying to sort pathways for care and extra testing .
Management are as well .

OK we know this and TYFYS.

HSE is a disaster though, and will be slow to change.

It is a Union thing. Debate that if you wish. It is not working well no matter how much money is pumped into it.

Thats not their fault.

If you don't provide them the tools then having army isn't going to do much more.

I'll sign up to go undercover at these fictional rampant house parties.

Although it would make more sense to send undercover agents into the schools and workplaces that are actually spreading the virus

Right. I had to get up in the morning at ten o'clock at night, half an hour before I went to bed, drink a cup of sulphuric acid, work twenty-nine hours a day down mill, and pay mill owner for permission to come to work, and when we got home, our Dad and our mother would kill us, and dance about on our graves singing 'Hallelujah.'

It's also impacting on staff availability, we have patients lying about symptoms being treated in general areas and then being discovered as possible covid cases, if they are positive you end up with staff having to self-isolate, unable to work, further reducing bed availability.

I agree with you for the fast majority of what you say. Yes your first line is harsh but fair play for saying it would you say it in public.

You do know the vulnerable include more then the elderly. I have a 45 year old friend after quadruple bypass and has diabetes and it bricking himself to step foot off his farm. Not because he is not safe but he has no idea what Tom Dick or Harry has it because they aint
