What kind of people do that? Thank God we are sound for the most part.

Wasnt same lockdown here but there was a similar fleeing to coastal holiday homes over past few weeks

[tazdedub]

Does this apply to the travelling community or are they exempt?

@Thomas_Brady

The reality remains the same… most of us get it or we find a cure first.

agreed so right now we are just merely slowing the infection rate to prevent the health system from crash
if the infection rate is over a longer period im assuming the death rate would reduce,
id love to be able to quantify that actually - the longer this draws out how does the death rate behave,

lets work on that

[Lazarus]

Inspirational stuff. Ah it’s from September!

[The_Most_Infamous]

Have to be exempt if theyre travelling.

[Thomas_Brady]

That’s all it’s about. Slowing it… Not avoiding it.

I’d rather get it now than a months time to be honest. No point delaying the inevitable.

All this backslapping on rte is starting to give me a pain in the hole (even though I technically don’t have one at the moment) A phantom pain in the hole

… we not hearing about people who have fallen victim - to remind everybody what a threat it is?And it’s not as if personal stories would panic any people any more than they are already panicked - RTE is already showing what’s happening in Italian and Spanish emergency rooms, and they did again tonight.

The daughter of one of the 10 in NI was in all the media over the past few days talking about her mother for that very reason, she wanted her to be remembered for who she was rather than a statistic. She was a woman in very poor health for some time.
An interesting piece on the news here this evening was that some boffins estimate that of the total number predicted to die from this scourge in the UK over the coming months, between 50-66% would have died this year anyway even without the virus.

Way to miss the point

…really . Our kids and grand kids will have to write essays on this in years to come, amazed and proud of what we went through . The sacrifices we made. The pain we suffered.When in reality all we did was ball hop a few Galway lads that Callanan is better than Joe and we called a cunt loads of times.

We’ll Ham it up to fuck

My iptv guy uploaded a load of porn there on vod during the week.

I’d be highly sceptical of stuff like that, it strikes me as a thin end of the wedge Trump type narrative to encourage “opening up” again even if lots of people are still dying from the disease.
