Are you for real?

They usually are in school as normal and have planned summer/esater/xmas/mid term holidays.

now they have had these holidays and no classroom teaching because of a pandemic.

Do you undestand?

Looks what's happening in Italy

Bug outbreaks in school settings . Bring it back to parents and grandparents

Schools should not be back until there is mass vaccinations

Parents (like me) should be able to keep their kids ticking over until then . And their workplaces should be accommodating

It does show people have too many kids . Maybe they should have been happy with their lot and not kept going until they had that boy / girl . But that's a debate that will come up in around 10 years when the climate crisis hits . We will be looking back at this period thinking we didn't know how lucky we had it

You should try talking out of your mouth instead of your arse. You'll be surprised at how much more effective it is.

You know the thread has reached a new low when you get a reference to Salazar and the suggestion that Irish parents have too many kids.

I am not sure what all that nonsense has to do with what you said originally about them having months off and no-one questioning it then

But good stuff you managed to hit climate change, mass vaccinations and having too many kids after your original post was questioned.

Incredible goalpost movement 8.5/10.

5km limit for 5 months is obscene. Sleepwalked into a police state.

People living alone have to deal with loneliness on top of all the other restrictions on everyone else.

People with sick relatives they can't see have to deal with the stress of that on top of everything else.

Everyone's circumstances are different.

I'm not arguing for schools to be kept closed or be made less of a priority. I hope the opening goes ahead as planned. I was sceptical about keeping them open before but it's been too long now. I'm just trying to point out why people feel frustrated.

Yeah I wasn't trying to make it a competition

It was the "X get this - what about the rest of us" line of thinking that I was responding to

It's circular and ultimately self defeating

And a convenient excuse to keep it. “Well if you want it gone, it means you want evictions”. It’d be sinister if you didn’t know how incompetent our government are.

Interesting, and do you see this human rights violation taking place everywhere or just ireland?

Did we repeal the 8th for forced population control? That wasn't in the booklet.

Mike Ryan said the same . Also , have you not been around the last 12 months re population control

NPHET and the government are already talking in an echo chamber, i suspect that they will announce they are even more concerned about the figures and once the weather starts getting better the 5km will be effectively out of the window.

just look at last sunday best day in months loads of traffic out (funny the guards put out a checkpoint on sunday 1st one ive seen)

Friends of mine had a daughter (10) complaining About pains in her legs- sounded like typical growing pains to me. Rand doc- straight in for PCR.
Nephew had a headache and hypochondriac sister in law rang doc- straight in for PCR. Is every call to the doctors surgery responded to with PCR now I wonder?
People need to stop getting tested for no reason- and even if people have symptoms but aren’t unwell they need to isolate themselves and their families. It’s the numbers that are being used to retain lockdown, it’s about time we started living our lives according to what’s safe rather than what’s allowed again.

But if their test comes back negative, then it doesn't impact thr numbers being used to justify lockdown.
Are you suggesting people with symptoms shouldn't get tested!?

Quite a lot of them would be tbh. The logic is that if it's serious enough to contact the GP, then there's a possibility it's an illness caused by a pathogen. And there's so little in circulation at the moment except Covid, that a Covid test is worth doing.

People need to stop getting tested for no reason- and even if people have symptoms but aren’t unwell they need to isolate themselves and their families. It’s the numbers that are being used to retain lockdown,

So stop testing people to bring the numbers down? Genius :rolleyes:

Tbf, there's a difference between being tested with clear symptoms of covid and being tested with no clear symptoms like the two cases in that post. If everyone with a headache got tested, you'd be testing thousands for no reason imo.

I'm not sure you have thought about this at all. You could as easily argue that everybody should get a test to bring up the number of tests and reduce the positivity rate, which is one of the key markers in how widespread the virus is in the community. But either way it is just nonsense, if a doctor sends you for a test it is for your good and possible your loved ones good.

But they could then increase to 20k as that is also a restriction ?

The 5k restriction is on shaky enough grounds around how much of an improvement in the public health it can bring. 20k wouldn't pass the bar I would say.

They could try to uncouple the eviction ban from the travel restriction, but then they may run foul of property rights and laws.

It didn't take long for further communist China social policies to be brought up. Potential correlation between the 'shut it down' crowd and the communist party of China?

The thing with the 5km limit is that its tied to the laws against rent increases and evictions. They really should come up with a fix for that by now though.

She's a quack.

She's retweeting the likes of Ivor Cummins. She's a sham, a bad actor, and filling people's heads full of nonsense.
Her timeline is full of complete horse****.

The elected legislators will just have to sit down with the elected legislators and provide a solution to this legislation.

Well, it's tied to level 5 restrictions. But the eviction ban expires next week anyway, so changes/extensions are likely.

So the entire country is imprisoned at 5k because people can be evicted from their homes if they change it? Why not just draft new emergency legislation, FFS.

If you catch covid, but don't tell anyone - you didn't really catch covid?

I'm waiting for the pandemic to end, but I was expecting a different ending.

Thats the line they are feeding us, but lets face it, they are not going to do anything about it because it suits them to keep us restricted to 5k.

Many are ignoring it thankfully, and many more will start ignoring it if this is to go on for another couple of months.
