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

+25%....Gosh....are you suggesting it's actually all about the MONEY !! 😱 ?

This indicates that the ONLY way out of this situation,is for Humans to cease being HUMAN ?

From the moment of birth,when we,as infants are grasped tightly by our mothers,our ENTIRE lives will revolve around contact,physical.mental.emotional...call it as you see it.

The extistence being proposed and actively supported by the CMO and a ,by now,thoroughtly frightened cohort flies totally in the face of Humanity.

What the Covid Public Health Emergency (which it WAS at one point) has now become is a multi faceted opportunity for a group of proffessional Administrators and mediocre Politicans to secure and develop a new and far more all encompassing method of Governance.

We as humans have always interacted with "Vulnerable" people....we have in our own lifetimes qften been "Vulnerable" ourselves,and had to get on with living in often challenging situations,some (Most) of us survived,perhaps with wounds or damage to our systems,but went on to live normal,productive lives...and long may that continue.

Randomly broadening the definition of "Vulnerable",whilst coincidentally convincing normal,largely healthy people,that they are casting pestilence & death in their wake if they stir outside their door is a recipe for the collapse of the very civilization level that now has a life expectancy and general health level FAR beyond that of our ancestors.

Just as with Climate Change "activists",who blithely discount the HUGE improvements made possible in our everyday lives by the Internal Combustion Engine or the Improvements in how we use fossil fuels for the greater good of modern humanity,we need to get people somehow or other back to living their lives realistically and reasonably sustainably.

What we are seeing now,in a very broad sense is the abandonment of Reason.🤔

I think a barstool somewhere might be missing their idiot.

Obsessed? Howso?

Someone posts about being cautious around vulnerable people by doing a quick antigen test...and you spew that ^^^ onto the page?! Breakdown of society?! FFS. Get a grip.

Irish people have a lot of positive traits, but by god we are some of the most servile, submissive race of people on the planet. We’ve just replaced the Catholic Church and their teachings with the likes of NPHET and public ‘health’ advice. Calling up in tears that someone went to Spain is the same as Bridget ringing up the parish priest saying Mary didn’t go to mass last Sunday.

If you really think it's just one or two randomers at this stage in the game then your either wilfully ignorant or unknowingly part of the problem. I'd suggest trying to get yourself over to England at some stage if you can and then come back and tell me with a straight face that what is 'going on' in this country is any way normal.

He should be very worried. He's a walking heart attack.

Wilfully ignorant it is so.

Does that mean you're knowingly part of the problem? Which is worse?

Eh? You can only get into nightclubs if vaxxed. To keep nightclubs closed would be as good as admitting that vaccines don't work.

Well I think any sane person knows that Covid isn't going away and we've to get on with life now without closing down sector's of the economy.

Watching the rugby imagine some day Dr Tony could be president of Ireland and we will have to stand up and salute him

The barometer should be the numbers of Covid infected in patients in hospital, broken down into those who contracted it in the hospital, and those who didn't. Then issue numbers of those in ICU with the same parameters. Add in vaxed and non vaxed and there you have the real picture.

Case numbers are useless except for behaviour control mechanisms but they are largely ignored now. People have to take packed buses and trains to get to work where they can't work from home correct? How do they limit their contacts? Just an example of the contradictory nature of the advice being given.

Did you actually read the post that I was replying to? It was nonsense.

Taking each point in turn -

I don't agree with the passes either. The government aren't currently inclined to extend them to gyms and hairdressers which leads into your second point.

NPHET have influence, yes. It's the government that have to make the decisions...and they are. NPHET didn't want nightclubs opening.

Name any country that has a health minister with a background in health. It's very rare.

Don't watch or listen to RTE. It's better for your mental health.
