Versus

5k restriction from my house!

Are you genuinely asking which is better?

Guess we'd better plan to slavishly copy the Dutch so, if you prefer it.

We have an
1) Empty hospital in Ireland
2) At least 20 + nurses in such with very little to no work
3) They are dancing to occupy their time
4) HSE's Reid lad tells us that hospitals are at full capacity close to being overwhelmed

And all you see is some nurses trying to lighten the mood of a country that has 25% unemployment.


I ask again, are you serious with this rubbish post of yours? How are dancing nurses in an empty Mayo hospital suppose to lighten the mood of unemployed people who have been sitting at home for months on end, fearing their job is lost due to restrictions imposed for the very purpose not to "overwhelm" the empty hospitals?

What you are posting today is disgraceful - know this.

You might want to contact the media and let them know the hospital is empty. ..

Better not go for walk with a dog either. They should be working 24/7.

That article is 5 weeks old.

Are you just posting rubbish now for the sake of posting rubbish or you genuinely have nothing to say?

In fairness I dont expect a big outrage from you about empty Mayo hospital or dancing nurses in it, you think that 6 weeks of level 5 lockdown is not that long afterall. After country already has spent 5 out of 9 months before Jan 2021 in a level 5 lockdown.

Well since I can cherry pick anywhere. I can pick somewhere with no restrictions at all. That would be my preference. Though I'd also pick a place with no Covid. So pick somewhere that has lifted restrictions because there numbers are so low or zero.

We started from a point of this is going to last forever and everything is closed and we are not able to do anything.

Seems none of that is true from what you are saying.

Wasn't the point that people can't do anything. So it's either this or nothing. Unless you actually can do other things and would prefer to do that than this.

I have to give ye credit mind, you’re the first poster who actually went out of their way to argue down their own original point in subsequent posts without even realising it.

the hospital wasn't empty, a specific department of it may have been on a very temporary basis.
what you post every day is disgraceful - know this.
it's also lies, misrepresentation and all else.

Please dont. I dont know if you are aware or not but in Ireland, less people died in 2020 than in 2019.

Seriously today is not the day for your posts. it really isnt. Get courage - go outside. seriously

Well we were talking about Ireland then we switched to Venice and then France. So I was talking about Paris, but then we switched to Holland, so I don't see why I can't switch to new Zealand or the Isle of Man, or some tropical island.

This thread is about re-drawing an imaginary line in the sand to suit yourself. That works both ways.

assuming that statement is true then that is a good thing.
it shows that controlling the virus and minimising it's spread is the right call.
i go outside every day, within my 5 k of course.

There were 148 fatalities on Irish roads last year. We could get that number down to zero instantly if we banned all motor vehicles.

Interestingly there were 25% less collisions in 2020 but road deaths were up 6%

But I guess then maybe deaths isn't an appropriate metric taken in isolation and out of context. So you're ok with that idea when it comes to cars. But not when it's Covid metrics.

Was out and about walking today, a lot of people in playgrounds, park benches having coffee, groups walking together, people stopping for a chat was all very good to see.

I don't think anyone is advocating getting 50k in landsdowne road next week but with no definitive plan, no timeline, no metrics on when things can be eased, no proper government communication and no hope in sight many people will start to identify what they think is an acceptable level risk and act accordingly.

Just back from a long run, took in a few parks on the route and by god, each one of them was jam packed. Paths full, car parks overflowing, people everywhere and it was noticeable that 99% of them were not wearing a mask.

Seems like the hysteria of fear has run its course, these people are not afraid of covid any more

It obvious the only thing stopping people is the weather lately. Any kind of dry spell and people are out in force. The government have lost the people.

Not all of them. There are still few here who support this shower of sh*te.

But thankfully 99% + dont.

I'm not ok with the idea when it comes to cars, I'm pointing out the complete and utter nonsensical logic used by pro-lockdown nutjobs.

I was in Dundrum shopping centre earlier with my partner to pick up a few things. Plenty of people sitting around outside eating food from some of the stands, a few even brought their own chairs. We'll be joining them next weekend weather permitting. Both of us have been following the guidelines so far but enough is enough. I don't want to see everything open tomorrow, I understand that would be too soon, but how is outdoor dining high risk?

Getting pissed off at all this Variants talk and shutting down just incase

Lockdowns not working and people not adhering to the regulations. Can't possibly be any connection there.

People are fed up with the restrictions they aren't adhering to. So they aren't going to adhere to them. How will we notice the difference?

The his post only got one single thank (except mine). It’s real news that will help bring the pandemic and the restrictions, to an end. And most of the ones who like to go on and on about Tony Hoolahoop and MeHole Martin, didn’t seem to show any interest in it.

I think they prefer to read posts giving out about lockdown, to things that will actually bring lockdown to an end.

Great news suggesting the vaccine will help curb transmissions as well as prevent people becoming sick.
