Coronavirus - the deadly virus that no one dies from

[Julio_Geordio]

The situation is very fluid guys. I wouldn’t get too caught up in this nonsense roadmap

[Batigol]

Yeah but I had assumed that made them no longer valid?

[TreatyStones]

You have to buy the tickets regardless?

[Batigol]

Yeah.

Jesus I may end up going to a game after all

Guys it’s been leaked that the lowest level of restrictions out of 5 levels (1/5) under the road map will have a maximum of 5k attending sporting events. FFS sake, other countries are having a 5k max now for a few weeks before fully opening up. We’ll have 5k max at Ireland internationals and the All Ireland finals.

There is no provision in the road map anywhere for things to return to normal. It’s bizarre, potentially there could be zero cases in the country and you wouldn’t get beyond a wan, which is basically now but with pubs open and 5,000 at a match in Croker.
A load of me bollix

Are you cunts not bored of this shite yet? Like old biddies waiting for a bit of action to gossip on… Getting useless daily figures and then getting all bent out of shape by them… it’s been at this for 4 months now.

My only take away is that many women look more attractive with masks on. We need to keep them long after a vaccine is found.

If they bring in restrictions in Dublin and numbers go down, but then open things up again and numbers go back up which the inevitably will, then what is the point of restrictions in the first place? Really thought what happened in NZ would be a watershed moment but no there are still “experts” yapping on about zero Covid as if it’s the solution

Dr Sam is not optimistic

[Thomas_Brady]

Now you’re talking oldglory. It’s here and it’s here to stay. It will be horrible when it affects someone close to you but sickness is part of life unfortunately.

The Swedish model was the only one that was sustainable.

Constant lockdowns and reopenings will nuke the economy. No one will invest with that going on

[Julio_Geordio]

McWonkey would want to fuck off for himself now. 5,000 cases each day in DUBLIN FFS, where’s he pulling that from? Sweden with 10m people and limited restrictions hit 1,600 at it’s peak. What exactly does he think is going to happen in Dublin

[balbec]

He’s a real barrel of laughs

This fella is a dangerous bastard.

I wonder how the Aviva and Croke Park will work with 5k capacity.

There’s always talk of a break even capacity there. It’s only worth opening if sports can make some coin. It will be a bit ridiculous if tiers of seats are closed because they require staffing if opened whilst you have people all closer at open parts of the ground. I know a big part of the argument is on public transport, but surely that’s exaggerated. You could put 10k in the Aviva easily. Just delay one side leaving the ground for 10 minutes to clear the first batch of DARTs.

We obviously won’t go directly from zero to 45k/82k so I don’t think it makes sense to simply look at the financial aspect of the matches with reduced capacity in isolation. It’s a step closer to normal capacity and revenue.

He’s getting pelters in the replies, the tide is turning big time.
