When will it all end?

And what would you think if you saw them now or in 6 months from now?

Would it occur to you that they might have been trying to make sure that they didn't spread any illness to others if they had it and didn't have symptoms?

I think what I think. If that makes me less than perfect in the view of others - I'm ok with that.

Masks are a personal bugbear of mine. Even in this. If that makes you think I'm a clown, stupid, a complete *****, see above.

But you gotta remember good few posters here are completely unaffected economically. They have secure jobs, defined benefit pensions, happy out.

Their primary concern is low number of cases and what takeaway to order tomorrow.


Now flip that and compare it to a father of 2 who is on PUP and has to pay 1k mortgage a month, with unemployed wife. Primary concern there would be different, much different.


Peoples inability to see this flip side is what upsets me. They have this casual "lets wait and see few months more" attitude lacking any sort of urgency to restore normality. Unsurprisingly they often are from the first bucket.

Well that went from zero to a bit mad very quickly.

I haven't suggested you're a "clown, stupid, a complete *****", but the post above makes me wonder. If you can't handle and answer a few basic questions about what you think without flying off the handle, then that's fine.

A bit over-the-top, hypochondriac-ish.

So if you see Asian people wearing masks, you think there's something wrong with them?
I used to wear masks in the winter in the Balkans, do you think there was something wrong with me?

You havent and it wasn't putting words into your mouth. Sorry, sometimes its difficult to bring the tone across in the written word. I'm not flying off the handle. If anything it was meant somewhat light hearted. I better shut up now.

What was your basic question again?

No I would think its bit over-the-top, hypochondriac-ish. It wouldnt affect how I interact with you but I'd think that deep down. Sorry cant help it.

6 - 9 months is the projection as to when it will all end according to Luke O'Neill.

There is a massive power plant outside the city I lived in, burning dirty brown coal. In the winter the smoke would lie about a metre off the ground and cover everything and everybody in thick smelly smoke.
It also caused people, including me, to hack up big black sh1t from your lungs.
Why would you think there is something wrong with someone wearing masks?

Why so long? What happened with vaccinate the elderly and vulnerable and re open the economy to, you know, ensure there is a funded health service for people to avail of.

You realise they get paid for it right? Its not hard and they get paid to sit in a warm court. Why wouldnt they?

My gut feeling says thats on top of their daily job.

So would they do something extra, overtime essentially, for probably no extra pay? I would say they wouldnt do that, unless like super hard working or something. :pac:

No thats different obviously. As a student I used to work in a body shop (many years ago). Had a mask on me several hours each day.

But you know what I mean. Summer in the city, sightseeing, (precovid) next you see a bunch of tourist walking around with masks. I wouldnt say I'd be the only one thinking 'wow'.

True that. As fas as I'm concerned people can bunker up and walk around in space suits if they like.

They will want you to wear a space suit as well.

Shame on you not wearing your spacesuit, science shows unequivocally that wearing space suits protects us all, people like you not wearing your space suit are the reason we need space suits in the first place.

what gibberish is this? Gardai get paid to attend court, if its during their normal shift, then no extra pay obviously. If its on their day off, then they get paid overtime. Again, I would have thought that was obvious.

They are also subject to discipline if they fail to attend court as its a mandatory requirement

Dont be giving people ideas...

I have a question to all big rule followers out there, have you been triple masking? Triple masks reduce transmission more than single mask. You essentially put 3 masks on instead of just 1.

CalamriFritti must be getting a heart attack

Teenagers dont get heart attacks

And funny enough - in the mask thread (shivers) they were talking about double layering and whatnot.

If you wear 9 masks then you reduce transmission by approx 98.23%. You may find it difficult to breathe but that doesnt matter.

Fauci in the States is advising double masking...it's just science!!!

Florida dropped mask mandates (and lockdowns) last Sept, doing just fine, better than the more compliant states...

Masks are the one thing that really dont seem to make a difference. And yet I fear they are the last thing to go in many countries.

Bit cynical

I could see them being worn simply out of habit, particularly here in Ireland, months after they are no longer required.
