I visited the home of an elderly couple this evening, not related to me. They both told me they are sick of all this lockdown bull**** and they've booked flights away for a holiday. Who could blame them?

And the only underlying condition they suffer from is fictitiousness

Eh countryside? No street lights within 5km? Next week class I’ll explain what it’s like to live out in the sticks.

I go for a run first thing in the morning before work and again after work and live in the middle of the sticks. Good head torch and a highviz is all you need, apart from the usual running gear.

I wish to talk to you this evening about the state of the nation’s affairs and the picture I have to paint is not, unfortunately, a very cheerful one

Who said that in the past ? Is that from Charles haughty ?

A group of about 20 students outside the fine wines in Singland in Limerick. Not 1 mask amongst them and I could hear them mentioning house parties. It's pricks like this that have us heading into this level 5 crap..

Have you nothing better to be doing other than taking pictures of students standing outside having a chat?

"I could hear them mentioning house parties". You heard that while inside your car?

Get a life. :rolleyes:

The fact that the weather will be a lot worse than during the earlier lockdown will help with people adhering to the restrictions, certainly won't see the type of crowds we saw at beaches.

No. If you are for schools opened at this point you want the economy to suffer and you want cases to go up. Schools are exactly how the virus spreads. There is no debate. This is proven.

I am sure you will have no problem providing this proof that schools are driving spread.

And a million kids at home is hundreds of thousands of doctors nurses paramedics factory workers food chain employees delivery drivers etc etc that cannot go to work. This has far greater social and economic impact than barbers gyms and beauty salons bars and restaurants

That lad has that's hes a stock market investor and commentator on his Twitter.

When you need to go to the GP, do you to the local credit union?

So that means he’s good with numbers. Do you think only medical people can analyse the data? I’ve been looking for some evidence as to why Ireland are doing this. Cannot find other forecast models or evidence - they should be out there for the public to see.

No we will just see groups of people crying in their gardens in the rain instead

Close the schools, close the colleges if you want this lockdown to be worth it in destroying the economy for 6 weeks.

Is there a link for the conference

I'm a data analyst at a healthcare company. Technically, I'm more qualified to give analysis than that guy

The 5km thing is what gets to me. Feels very cabin fever-y very fast with that kind of arbitrary restriction. Also, I don't care about schools. I mean, I care about them in that I recognise the need for our little darlings to get their education, but I don't really care. :pac:

I have no idea what health conditions they do or do not have, I don't know them personally. But what I posted is 100% factual.

Nope try again. There are pricks in every single country, massive amounts of pricks. If your strategy for society is "unless everyone stops being a prick right now, we will destroy the entire economy and ruin countless of people's lives" - then you are a piece of flaming s hit. Which is exactly what this government is.

You tackle pricks not by blindly hoping they will all stop being pricks - you tackle them with enforcement powers for gardai to slam them down on the ground, arrest them, and throw them in a jail cell.

To be honest I think people are more likely going to have people over to their houses rather than meeting them outside. This is based on my observation that those that don't follow restrictions won't start following them now. The restrictions just seem to punish those that adhere to them.

Also, airports not closed; this makes no sense.
