I bloody hope you are right 
Once people have got their two doses, there is literally no more that can be done.
There seems to be plenty of people who exhort a kind of glee akin to a certain 6.01 Covid commentator from RTE when they say we will be locked down to 2022/2023. Some say it despairingly but the aforementioned get a real sadistic kick from it. And they are a sizeable number. I never figured so many people shared so much in common with a bird in a cage who has bed and board. They donât have to be afraid anymore. We are all the same. Rendered useless. Lifes pressures the same in every household the country over. No keeping up pretenses anymore. Pointless even flapping our wings.

If it is over soon I wonât be able to cope. Iâm barely sleeping 2 hours a night anymore. Everything is so pointless.
Have you ever considered emigration? Europe is bad granted but there are plenty of other places you could make it.
2025 Iâd say before itâs over.

maybe its a sense of realism tho expressed with a degree of confidence?
we are where we are as the man says and its utter folly to asssume " itâll be grand in the summer" where there is no suppoting data whatsoever to make a claim, imagine the lows that kind of nonsense thinking would bring?.. this is for the long haul, i cannot see how this is a short term project

In better news, the pandemic has allowed us to claim full refunds on the Euro 2020* tickets weâd stockpiled (cc @briantinnion).
To speak to a post** @georgeorwell made last night about some folk being gleeful about the current state of affairs, my sense is itâs not just George Lee types or selfish âIâm alright wfhâ types. Thereâs also a section of society that were unhappy with their lot, resented othersâ success/happiness and are now perversely happier that everyoneâs been dragged down. Iâll call them âat least itâs shit for everyone nowâ types, I know a couple of these.
*still known as Euro 2020 despite move to 2021
*do you lads get clowns in work âspeaking to slides, reports etc etc?

Over the last 7 days mind. They left that bit in small print.
Youâd have to close the off licenses to make that work.

Lots of people who consume a lot of Netflix and Twitter and are generally dissatisfied with their lot but havenât yet gotten to the stage of wondering why consuming all of the things the modern world tells them to consume doesnât bring them fulfilment and have been wallowing in that malaise for a long time. Lockdowns makes it the status quo and validates everything theyâve been doing with their lives.

Correction, youâd have to allow off licenses to deliver to make that work.
