Lol.

' Be the nail'.. Is that how you see yourself? Thinking of another bit of carpentry here!

I won't be rude because unlike you I don't resort to name calling but your standing firm as you see it, followed on by the reference to 'authoritarian diktats' explains more than all of your posts on the thread.

Goid luck to you.

Ah, I see the covid church is in session...

Carry on guys, feel free to continue talking amongst yourselves, you're with friends now.

Still isn't going to change the fact that covid is over and no one cares about it or your opinions, statistics, facts, etc.

Yes it was pretty obvious that there is a body of opinion on covid which doesnt care about facts or stastistics and is reflected in how wrong their opinions are... and contrary to the experts in the WHO, CDC et al.

How wrong eh?

Can't you tell that no one cares about you facts?

Despite you facts the entire world has moved on, no one cares about covid any more.

No one cares about Covid anymore, you say in post after post... actions speak louder than words.

It is obvious you are protesting that a little too much.

They are not my facts, they are the facts cited by the major global health authorities in the world and experts in the relevant fields.

If you don't care, why are you still posting about covid? Refighting debates that your body of opinion lost in 2020 and 2021 as globally restrictions were deployed to keep covid in check and you were subject to them. And that body of opinion was wrong and lost precisely because you didn't care about facts. Your opposition to the necessary restrictions was not based on facts or statistics.

The restrictions served their purpose. If you are so certain the world has moved on and no one cares about covid any more, why are you still having to debate the point here? Why are there still headlines in the media about covid?

The people getting covid in the recent surge sure care about it, if it floors them.

The medical staff who will have to treat those cases when they roll around in winter will have no option but to care.

The people who will line up to be vaccinated in autumn still care about it.

The people who test themselves or avoid vulnerable people when unwell still care about it.

I was in a restaurant last week and ordered the soup. When the bill came it was only €6.50 and I was horrified, but luckily the quick thinking waitress noted that I still had time to order a pot of tea. This put the bill over €8 and thus the covid was foiled, I was able to pay my bill and leave without killing anybody.

In honour of that waitress, at 8pm the following evening I stepped onto my balcony and had a little clap.

remember them telling us the hospitals were full ; yet the nurses still had time to get on with their dancing 😉

think Gems tried to get into a hospital to document the so-called "full to capacity" krankenhauses, but don't think she was let in 😓😒

not to mention the constabulary (absent facemasks) in first 'stay at home lockdown' stopping folk left, right and centre , grilling them on their travel plans with absolutely no lawful basis for it 😒😒

and the great and good going on their shindigs - playing golf, meeting up, drinking away, and nowt happened to em; but a fella in Longford gets fined ~€2,000 for supplying fast food to some celebration or other (a wedding I think) 😒 😆😪

So they decided places that serve food could open. The balance of people have to eat and hospitality needs something more than total lockdown .

To establish the extent of who could open and to ensure crisps were not purchased with a feed of pints they decided to go with the 9 euro.

I am sure you were deliberately joking but I've been surprised the number of people who actually remember it as "a 9 euro meal keeps COVID away".

Last week? why did you do that?

and we won.

our arguments based on actual fact were accepted by the majority, even though nobody is or was pro-lock down.

you lost, you had plenty of opportunity to put forward your arguments and they were crap and non-factual, get over it.

Looks like COVID media fear has lost traction again.

I'm guessing in October or November will be the next round of fearmongering.

That's about time for the yearly "tripledemic" warnings to come back. Still waiting for that one.

Because it was vegetable soup that day, and I like vegetable soup.

No I asked why you engaged in covid restrictions last week. they were not required. I think the waitress made a fool out of you, there were no restrictions in place last week. Or else you stupidly thought restrictions were still in place last week?

To make sense your novel shouldn't have been about sitting alone having or soup, or alone on a balcony. It should have been a 5 course meal that took 6 hours, and with a party of 40, perhaps in a Golf Course Bar.

I wonder if Orla Hegarty or PBP still want to lock us down forever?
