I don’t know any builder who isn’t working to be fair.

I don’t know any builder who isn’t working to be fair.

I do, but they are on a biggish job. I’d say any small operation working on private houses is tipping away

And getting PUP no doubt

Its just the major projects that aren’t going ahead

And come May or June they’ll be advocating to hold off until August or September.

Reluctantly, they are right.

The risk profile in may June after an entirely different order of vaccinations is different.

Another spike like Christmas and you might not even be able to continue with the vaccination programme. We’d be rightly fucked then.

Relax the travel limit to counties and get construction back (should be done already) by all means but wider opening just now would be cutting off your nose to spite your face.

A quarter of all cases asymptomatic. It’s young, healthy people getting it now as the most vulnerable are protected.

Covid cases in hospital way down, ICU numbers way down. Not that you’d know that judging by the hysteria over a fourth wave and impending “disaster”.

About 75% of cases in the last week are in those under 45. 50% are in those under 33.

With the younger people getting it there is a case to be made to vaccinate from the 18s up to the 54s when that time comes.

They’ll be keen to have the college crowd vaccinated too by the time they go back on September also you’d think.

but there simply isnt a case
people under 45 do not get sick and vaccine shouldnt be wasted on them
get everyone over 65 done and leave it off then.
It would, in my considered opinion be irresponsible to suggest otherwise
send the rest of the vaccine to poorer countries to protect their old people… ifs disgusting to suggest vaccine stock should be wasted on those who do not need it in a society such as ours

Oh there’ll be a load of compromisin
On the road to my horizon
But I’m gonna be
Where the lights are shinin on me

Would be in their best interests business wise.

every builder, plumber, painter i know is flat out

At least he got off his arse and set something up for himself.

You think that it’s possible that Ireland’s Christmas spike (open it shoots up and close it goes down) can be explained by other factors?

That’s complete nonsense.

Bringing the morons home from the UK with their variants would’ve been a factor

Someone claimed on one of the rugby threads that JJ Hanrahan lurks here too. This place is box office. Keith Andrews is probably pleading with Stephen Kenny to drop Travers for Bazuna based on the TFK consensus.

[balbec]

Hi JJ!

[Biff_Egan]

I hope Cillian O’Connor and Denis Irwin lurk on here.

@Biff_Egan

I hope Cillian O’Connor and Denis Irwin lurk on here.

The bould Davy and his auld fella have an extensive dossier built up here too, so they do.

[Aertel220]

I’d say Davy is well aware of this place. He has often referenced his online critics in interviews.

[Julio_Geordio]

I for one would like to welcome our new Fitzgerald overlords

@Aertel220

JJ Hanrahan

Who?
