Do you think I’ll be able to start burning rubbish again next week?
Yeah they’ll have to tread a fine line now between covering over their incompetence and not pissing off the public by telling them they haven’t done a good enough job.
I don’t think it really matters what they announce this weekend anyway, lockdown is over from what I saw this weekend in the flats in the Ringer and on Pigeon House Road.

A simple quarantine of arrivals would suffice until a vaccine is found.
It seems so. Labour leader Alan Kelly is all over this. What a guy.

Isn’t it incredible that an organisation that has been a shambles since inception has suddenly transformed into an ultra slick, well managed virus fighting machine.

Time for a speech from Leo where he quotes from A Streetcar Name Desire to inspire us

Maybe another patronising tweet from Simon Harris is called for?

NZ have shown that it is possible to cope without a vaccine. An island nation with a population of around 4 or 5 million and just 19 deaths. I could be way off the mark but it seems to have been a very successful approach from them. I just need to find a similar country to compare with. Will get back to you when I find one.

Ssssh its only been a shambles since this virus came along…
Lots of passive aggressive posting this afternoon. It’s fascinating to watch lads unravel because of uncertainty.
Can’t believe our policy of Government Ministers tweeting about the Easter Bunny hasn’t succeeded in reducing the death rate.

Do you think NZ’s location at the arse end of the world and not a member state of the area worst affected by this would have anything at all to do with this?

The Irish have always turned on their heroes.

Ireland is at the arse end of Europe. They had all the natural advantages and notice to quell its spread. It left it too late to stop travel into the country.
They made a mess of it and it’s now damage limitations.

Lads have been waiting for hospitals to be overrun and our health system to break down. That has not happened so their reduced to attacking an odd speech or tweet. It’s fascinating to watch. The lads hanging on for crèches to reopen need to assess their contributions to their children versus their postings on here.

Many of our european neighbours seem to have some kind of blueprint or plan to begin lifting some restrictions. Ireland doesn’t appear here. Maybe the dog ate their homework. There is a clear lack of transparency and a continuous shifting of the goalposts.
First we cant reopen until ICU capacity issues taper off. That box has been ticked.
Then we could not reopen until community transmission fell to an R of between 0.7-1.
That box has been ticked.
Importation risk seems to be mitigated now. That box is ticked.
Its an ever growing list of milestones.
The newest one seems to be 100K tests a week. We can all pretty much agree that will never happen so I guess the lockdown is here to stay.
