Coronavirus - Dig In, It's going to be a while yet

As long as we proceed with current measures we are inevitably prolonging the pain to the economy imo.

If we make a tough but stringent lockdown then we have then given our Health Service the best possible chance. We are giving our elderly population the best possible chance.

The Economy will only bounce back once we rid this virus.

Eh we can’t get rid of the virus mate. We can only slow it. That’s why there’s no point in locking down.

Sincere sympathies to you and family

[Tim_Riggins]

In your opinion. I’ll take the public health people’s word for it.

The reality is that this will not just go away. “Prolonging” this isn’t the issue, it’s avoiding the hospitals being overran.

[Fulvio_From_Aughnacloy]

That’s premature to say. Ireland reacted too late to lots of things.

Hopefully, I can’t understand why they are fucking about over this.

The mental fatigue of being locked down is real … there’s a fine line. At the moment we can manage with the numbers presenting… when they spike we’ll have to rethink. You might only get one shot at a proper lockdown.

Lads treating this like a sports team they support. They almost want the government to fuck it up to win on the INTERNET.

Name names or fuck off.

I didn’t say that we wouldn’t end up in the same situation.

I’m just saying why we aren’t at that stage…bearing in mind we already have made significant moves and ahead of a lot of other Western countries.

Imo a short term full lockdown gives the best possible chance of making that happen.

[Fulvio_From_Aughnacloy]

With good warning and we still acted too late.

Look, I’ll be happy if they work. But, if it fails it will be too late closing the barn door when the horses have already fled.

There’s no need and no point in escalating things until the cases go up.
Everyone needs to chill out. There’ll be a time for panic, but we aren’t there yet.

Some lads have lost it during this crisis. Utterly lost it.

I hope that’s not true. I really hope so.

The fear is that by the time it comes to calling a lockdown then it’s too late.

Still seeing pictures of packed Tubes in London this morning.

All those people are going to die.
Maybe not them but their grandparents. Or maybe not their grandparents but their grandparents’ friends.
