Coronavirus - Close the Airports

One parent working abroad to provide for their family. The other passes away.

You wouldn’t allow the other parent home.

Totally unnecessary, and vile. I don’t believe there is any country in the world outside of North Korea with the levels of restrictions you are proposing.

I like the way it says probably.

There’s nobody quite like science to give a comprehensive and reassuring verdict.

I know, I’ve read the stories from Italy… Harrowing.

Well that leaves the question above how they provide for their family. It’s a quite weak argument you are putting forward to allow you posts shots of Cape Cod on instagram to your Blackrock College buddies.

That’s why we should have good contact tracing and testing regimes in place. And all countries with Air Bridges have reciprocal standards. You are in a bubble. Expect some cases and a cluster or two, but that’s where your systems come in.

It’s one of the “suppress the curve” and NZ proponents ideas.

You’re saying we have good contact tracing and testing regimes in place?

I’ve nothing to do with Blackrock, weird suggestion. I am a US Citizen and entitled to go home where I have family.

It is not a “weak” argument. No country in the world is proposing what you are. That is a mile from what New Zealand even proposed.

Losing a parent means a loss of emotional support for families, not just income. Odd to see you boiling humanity to just that.

That is up to all countries with reciprocal Air Bridges to determine.

Your proposal was a blanket ban on aviation until the end of the year, a bizarre and arbitrary regulation.

I’m just asking you how to clarify how the lone parent is then going to care and provide for their child when they had to move abroad in the first place to provide for it while the other parent cared for it.

You seem to have a shocking sense of entitlement that apparently allows you to endanger the health and wellbeing of the general public because you are a “US citizen”.

It’s a very, very weak argument and trying to use someone who lost a young partner or spouse to justify that is very callous.

Nothing bizarre about it. 25% of new cases yesterday were down to international travel which is extremely worrying.

Maybe savings. Maybe the State comes in. Maybe they get a job at home.

But they are at home, with their children.

You seem to have a bizarre notion about why all people travel.

You’ve said we shouldn’t have travel full stop till the end of the year. You have failed to argue convincingly why that should be .

What will be your view be at yearend if the virus is still going? Keep going with your arbitrary travel ban?

Yes and 100% of New Zealand cases were from travel, so what?

Stop international travel.

His thinking is very much out of the Maggie thatcher playbook…

That seems to be his perspective alright, very odd. I never thought I’d see a pretend IRA man on here espouse such Thatcherite views.

@Tim_Riggins wants people to die, businesses to fold and people to lose their jobs because he’s a “US citizen” and is better than everyone else as a result.

Better luck next time

We need to make International travel a case by case basis with one flight a week going to a destination. We’ll set up a tribunal to decide if people can depart or enter the country, and debate the merits of both.

Should work just fine.

go wherever ye want now lads

@Tim_Riggins betraying Ireland the EU.
