A few RTE subscribers here had boarded their whole house up.

no one is even taking about this shite in England any more, its all Marcus Rashord, BLM etc for the last few weeks. What the fuck is wrong with people in Ireland? RTE, the politicians and the likes of Gerry Killeen and Dr Cervical Check are a disgrace
They want the Irish people to be damaged from what I can see, auld farmers and the likes living on their own, afraid to go for a pint of milk, coming to the door with a shotgun threatening people that come too close, this thing now with the pubs, jesus it is getting on my wick, get out to fuck and drink and shop as much as ye want ye fucking cowards, get the fuck out of the house

It goes back to how difficult it is to sustain this.
Follow up to my post couple of days ago. My aul lad is now in the Mater. Things were looking bad yesterday.
Anyway he rang my sister this morning. She told him one of his friends asked if it was Covid (it’s not - test was clear).
Aul lad said to say to the friend it was Covid as “it would freak the fuck out of him and he would have to isolate”
A good sign hopefully and we’ll take each little victory regardless.

Good to see Quantas have pulled most of their international flights until October.
International travel should be banned until this is figured out.

Who’s gonna figure it out?
Maybe Tony hoolahan has been just winding up his buddies for the last few months
Human nature.
Will it figure out the common cold and the flu while it’s at it?
It figured out the Spanish Flu.
Herd immunity so? — So the lock down was a bad move is what youre saying ?
Nope.
The Spanish flu died out. It wasn’t a case of herd immunity.
The virus needs to localised, contained and then it will die off. Ireland as a small island with a fairly low population density on the west coast of Europe is in the prime position to handle this. Curtailing international travel and restricting entry points on the island in the form of ports and airports is absolutely vital. The numbers are very low now so practising good hygiene and social distancing and heavily restricting entry onto this island is absolutely vital to allowing us to get on with our lives.
Eh - the Spanish flu went through about 500m people, killing 40-50m of them … that’s the human nature you are referring to mate…
The Spanish flu just died out

What happens with a positive case? If your symptoms are fairly mild you told to self isolate for 14 days and then what? Are you tested 14 days later to see if you are still positive and in that case do you then continue to self isolate if the result is positive? If it comes back negative are you allowed back out to go about your business?
It’s really now where we will see how the government and HSE have performed, there should be no excuses for inadequate contact tracing and testing. Strictly regulating and restricting international travel is of the utmost importance in quelling this. Ireland should be one of the first nations in Europe to be rid of the virus.
it pretty much did, for the first wave.
it went away and had a good preseason training and came back and did absolute wreck
Yes.
You seem intent on wanting Covid19 to do the same.

You’re the one looking for ‘human nature’ to figure it out, not me.
