Complete nonsense outdoor transmission accounts for 0.1% of Irish cases.

You're more likely to catch doing your shopping than you are outside but keep believing the nonsense you hear you'll find plenty of people that share your scaremongering point of view.

nah once outside very little risk, and what of it if people catch it now, the old and vulnerable are vaxxed.

The brazen audacity of them, having the temerity to "live" their lives and enjoy the craic of a fine day. Tony will be licking his lips watching those scenes, all the excuse he needs to lock us away at least another month. And not a single member of government to contradict him. The script writes itself.

Those who are terrified of the great outdoors are cordially welcome to cower at home and leave the rest of us alone.

Lock us away? Really? Change the record, if we are being locked away how come we see these scenes today?

That's the exact point. All were doing by keeping the economy closed is flushing the economy down the toilet.

The cost is now outweighing any benefit of lockdowns. You can't ignore reality in favour of a fantasy.

Watch a wave of death scythe through those young people, the apocalypse is nigh. Elderly and vulnerable nearly all vaccinated, who exactly is at risk then? Right, hardly a sinner. The only stupidity apparent is our weak and lily-livered government delegating all responsibility to a single-issue cabal of hypochondriacs.

Remember the packed beaches in the UK last summer and all the hand wringing? Nothing happened. They even came out and admitted as much. Outdoors is safe.

Curious what temperature was it there anyway? Like people are walking around topless, in April. in ireland! Must have been warm

Life is more than the avoidance of death

I’ve had this forward into the WhatsApp groups I’m in at least ten times today, and each message attached with a “selfish pricks” commentary. I really could not care less at this point. When are we going to get over this? Recording people and shaming them for engaging in natural human behaviour ONE YEAR into this mess. We are being told day after day that outside is safe so what is the big fcuking deal? People need to jog on and mind their own. Young people out enjoying themselves on the finest day of the year after a year of being shafted by the government. Some dopes decide to record it and shame them. There are some absolute losers out there who will find it hard to get a hobby once this is all over and recording people having a good time isn’t acceptable behaviour anymore

Hold Firm, the next 2 weeks are crucial

ONE LAST EFFORT FROM ALL AGES

BRIGHTER DAYS ARE AHEAD BUT WE NEED TO HOLD FIRM RESTRICT OUR CONTACTS

You could go with that and open up everything alright, but it might be worth taking a look at elsewhere before doing so.
Sweden has just twice our population and, even though they have restrictions they are more light touch than ours. Pubs and restaurants have to close by 8.30 and limits on numbers allowed in shops etc. They have the same percentages vaccinated, or even slightly higher, that we do.

Even at that on Tuesday last week they had 412 in ICU and 2,133 in hospital beds due to Covid ,with staff working 12 hour shifts and daily new cases of 7,000+.
Not the kind of figures that are going to do much for your health system. Nor your economy come to that

These people won't go for tests so cases will stay low, I don't see the problem. Nobody is in hospital and icu numbers are dropping. The people recording the people on the beach's are the real problem. Their voyeuristic obsession with lockdowns is unhealthy but in fairness they will get their Dr Tony tokens for being the best in class. ****en pathetic.

Have to laugh at those moaning about people congregating by the sea on a warm summers day.

Before Christmas, shops were closed for 6 weeks and people flocked to them as soon as they opened. Now people are under glorified house arrest for 3 months and people are shocked when they decide to have fun and enjoy themselves once allowed.

The fact that this comes as a surprise to people is mystifying. The population at large in Ireland are not interest in locking themselves in their homes in fear of Covid-19. This is a simple fact that needs to be applied to the approach in Ireland. Fear is no longer an effective tool to motivate people to follow restrictions.

Reminds me of Trump saying cases would be lower if they stopped testing so many.
If people do not go for tests then isn`t there every likelihood cases will actually get higher.

I'm in an absolute cushy number and when the pressure came on I've worked 20 hour shifts but I suppose I'm in the private sector I deserved it.

Young people have been drinking and having a good time for months now and guess what there is still nobody in hospital.

Other than personally I would prefer a health professional not to be sleepwalking if I had a medical problem, you have spectacularly avoided even making an attempt to address what I posted.

Its summer, everything outdoor should be open.

Disgrace that its not.

If we have 4,000 hospitalizations like we did with flu are they going to shut down the country,

Where do you see these contradictions. The facts for Sweden are easily checked if you doubt them then show me where they are incorrect.

Still waiting btw for that science behind all those European countries you mentioned earlier, but perhaps you missed my reply. Post #7647 if that helps.

France:


"From Saturday 3 April, restrictive measures already in force in some parts of France are extended to the whole of the country."


"From 7PM to 6AM, a curfew is in force in metropolitan France. You may only leave your home for the following reasons and with an exemption certificate:"

We are also one of the lowest in Europe at present for new cases, deaths, hospital and ICU number but that is beside the point



What is the science you believe is behind these European countries opening up ?


Is it not perhaps the science of wishful thinking while at the same time time ignoring scientific data and the figures of a European country like Sweden that is more or less doing what many here belive we should be doing RIGHT NOW OR SOONER.

So let me get this straight all the other countries in Europe are following the science of wishful thinking, cmon you don't honestly think the germans are following wishful thinking do you.

Surely curfews are counterproductive to a degree anyway? People will just flock to public transportation and shops etc all at once because of the narrower timeframe to do business

Id rather now just shut the whole country for two weeks.

People have a month to get their supplies together.

After that you cannot leave your house, anyone caught outside get a 5K fine.

Im pretty sure everyone would bey,

Eric Cartman

Absolutely open to correction but is it really far right, theres a lot of groups in the uk that are just anti lockdown / pro personal freedom that are not associated with / aligned with any traditional “far right” politics ?

Is it possibly just an automatic association to somehow make it seem worse in the media ?
