Relaxation of Restrictions, Part XII *Read OP For Mod Warnings*

Maybe they are right?

They don’t work well enough?

Can we talk about the fact

2 out of 1000 cases go to hospital now, was 4-5 before any vaccines in Nov 20

Not a huge difference

The same amount of people in hospital now as Nov 2020

And 10 times more than last August 2020

What have the vaccines done so far?

Not much when you compare to last summer

How will this winter compare to winter 2020?

Won’t be much different IMO, hospitals will be overwhelmed with covid again

The knowledge of how good other countries have it, why we are not there despite the vaccines having been meant to be the way out, that is what is killing people.

The masks are another psychological weapon. Take the mask out of public life and we can nearly forget this thing ever happened. I've seen it in London- life is normal and good until you see some fool wearing his I Hate Boris accessory. Keep the masks in view, it's like an air crash survivor being forced to work in an airport.

Good job the Govt have increased capacity, have deals with private hospitals to take them over etc..

Oh wait

It was about public health in the opening few weeks.

Then NPHET realised it could be a once in a lifetime opportunity to try to permanently change Ireland's pub culture. Stay closed enough to wipe plenty of them out. When the re opened, mandate some ludicrous buy food with your drink, stay 2 hours max law.

As for the government itself, house prices were, despite the spiel, fairly affordable in Dublin before Covid hit. Shut the sites, tighten supply, funnily enough Leo has moved in with his partner so no doubt his flat in Castleknock will be going on sale soon, worth more than it was in March 2020.

Aside from all that, you also have particularly evil ageing nerds in cabinet and NPHET who have loved 18 months devoid of nightclubs, pubs, one night stands, house parties, first dates and other activity partaken in by normal young and not so young people. The bitterness of these people is palpable.

DUP wouldn't be the biggest fans of dancing and devil's buttermilk fuelled divilment.

Here's a fact for you- under England's original three tiers of restrictions, pubs with mandatory food was in their HIGHEST restriction level. As in, Boris tried to have pubs open in some shape or form even in the highest Covid alert level. Here, food mandatory pubs was in our second lowest (remember the stage 1 to 5 that was issued for clarity, about two days later they started doing stage 2.5 and all this nonsense)

Micheal Martin should be tried and jailed.
