We need to start thinking outside the box.

Most people who have died in Ireland have never made the hospital sadly, the issue here is hospitals.
Given the differences in mortality by age group, I expect there is a good deal of variation on this. Iâm gonna guess they 60-70 year old arrive into hospital a lot closer to the date of their PCR test that 40-50.
They are an example to the rest of the world
And you have people here screaming we need to be more like New Zealand, without actually realising what that involves

WHO backed by International evidence shows lock downs donât work in stopping the spread of the virus. Lockdowns buy time to ensure resources are in place to accommodate higher demand on healthcare services, hence flattening the curve in April.
Lockdown 2 is 100% the goverments fault. Social distancing washing g hand and mask help slow it to take pressure off healthcare services but wonât stop it. Economic suicide is on ffgs head.

Social distancing isnât happening, I donât believe hand washing is being adhered to like at the beginning, many people only wear masks because itâs as clear as the nose on their face if theyâre not, many masks are probably never washed, thatâs just the type of people we are.
We donât compare with Sweden, they donât need to be guilted into wearing a mask or washing their hands to help each other out
I like pina coladas
And getting caught in the rain

MicheĂĄl Martin last week:
âIn March there were 225 ICU beds, we now have 282 fully staffed, thatâs an extra 57 and thereâll be a further 17 in the winter planâ
Heâs like a more sinister Comical Ali these days.
âOur best diplomats need to be sent out to London, Edinburghâ to teach them about zero Covid.
They need a circuit break.
From what Iâve seen its still happening, not as purposely avoiding each other as in April. Hands sanitisation when entering buildings too i donât think peoples hands have ever been so clean. But good hygiene and staying away from each other isnât going to defeat the virus, vaccine or leave it run through the community will. Trying to suppress it will ruin the country and it will be back. Both options of herd immunity or locking down are shit and will result in deaths. Waiting for a vaccine isnât much of an option as we will be stuck in this purgatory for years.

Sweden does not mind standing out from the crowd on coronavirus, and the latest sign is on its refusal to introduce face masks. The Scandinavian country, renowned for its lighter-touch approach to Covid-19 regulations, is one of the few European countries not to recommend using face masks after neighbouring Norway, Denmark and Finland all changed their positions in the past week. âIt is very dangerous to believe face masks would change the game when it comes to Covid-19,â Anders Tegnell, Swedenâs state epidemiologist, told the Financial Times.
