    Twitter is alive with pictures and videos of people congregating in the sun.

    Stephen's Green

    Salthill, Galway

    Lots of tut-tutting about coronavirus. Lots of rebuttals about teenagers deserving a break. But little mention of the fact that, coronavirus or not, mass groups of people drinking, playing music, etc, is just pretty unpleasant for anyone not doing the same.

    Unfortunately there's no vaccine for stupidity.

    Young people enjoying themselves.

    They've got some nerve.

    There is a limit to what people can take. We've had, I think, the longest lockdown anywhere in the free world — not just the EU.

    It's not ideal to see people congregating outdoors, but people have their limits.

    I misread ( hay fever) the title as mass conflagrations.. given the current wildfires.

    The Gardaí broke one up? Salthill?

    And yes it was inevitable.

    We're in lockdown 3.0. You make it sound like we're not.

    And it's been the harshest. You'll see a news story about somewhere bringing in a lockdown and it sounds harsh but shops will have to close at 6, restaurants at 8 and pubs at 10. Then ya look at our "normal" restrictions.

    Went to the park with the missus and kids early yesterday evening and had to leave because it was like a night club with people drinking all over the place, lads getting stuck into birds music blaring bottles and cans all over the place.

    The annoying part isn't young people having fun it's how incompatible that fun is with anyone who isn't out boozing along with the crowd.

    I drove down the grand canal from rathmines to Harold's Cross last weekend and it was like a festival, hundreds of people everywhere, all ages cramped together drinking away.

    There's nothing to do but go to parks and public areas so everyone is there which kind of makes a mockery of the idea of keeping people apart from each other for their own good.

    It's impossible to stop these things from happening so surely it's time to reopen the likes of beer gardens etc at the very least, because people are congregating together and getting messy drunk anyway.

    Glazers Out!

    In reality we've been in some form of lockdown since last March which is a sobering thought.

    If we weren't in lockdown, and it was a normal April sunny day, then these crowds would not be here. There would be some people but not this extent. The lockdown has to end at some point. And some point soon.

    The sun is out, the sky is blue and people are having a good time. As usual in the shadows some people are scowling! That's both sides of human nature for you!

    Its amazing the amount of people pulling themselves of at the thought of eternal lockdowns and having heart attacks at the thought of people enjoying themselves.

    With the weather getting sunnier and more people vaccinated, especially those who need to be, I wonder if it's time to just open everything up and get back to normal. At least it'd spread people out a bit more, rather than having half the population of Dublin all congregating in Howth, Dún Laoghaire and Stephen's Green at the same time.

    It's getting to that point.

    The only thing that will keep crowds from gathering is rain, if we get a good run of weather this will be a weekly thing.

    Zero Covid ideology isn't necessarily compatible with reality.
