Itās bordering on outrageous. Scientists shutting stuff down based on no evidence or data. Leaving places with cases open. Iād see myself as level headed but itās insulting to peopleās intelligence.
Their Level 3 which is 3 days old allows indoor dining. Now it doesnāt. Based on folklorism and narcissism.
Saturday of Go Games, Kilmainham Gaol and Croke Park Museum with kids all booked and now cancelled. But Dundrum Shopping Centre can open with 5000 people.
George Lee has some neck. Does he know itās not his job to defend NPHETS views, heās supposed to be an impartial reporter. Yet there he was on the news defending Philip Nolanās spiel on Twitter today on pubs and restaurants. Explaining Philips views and calling it an āelaborateā response. Basically he was saying that NPHET are completely right about everything and people who have the nerve to disagree are wrong. Has George disagreed with anything NPHET have done since this started?
Just find it odd that the experts (and Simon Harris) went from being so categorical that they were unhelpful and even posed a risk to them suddenly mandating them everywhere
Spot on. Sorry to hear your plans have been ruined by a load of medics who are picking low hanging fruit and a government without the balls to make a real decision. Like really what are they expecting to happen. Of course cases are going to go down a bit with restrictions but theyāre just going to go back up in time. Back in March when this thing was new then lockdown was fair enough but is whatās happening now not proof that lockdown doesnāt really work. Itās just a band aid on an open wound
Look mate, it was in the early stages of a pandemic. They were trying to keep people off the streets & PPE was scarce.
You, I know are better than that. Raising fucking oddball videos made by weirdos who actually believe NPHET & Government have any vested interest in the current plight weāre all in.
That wasnāt my aim. I dislike the mask mandate but Iāll follow it. I wear one for 12 hours at work.
I was just illustrating how these lads can often have things arseways yet still behave as if they are issuing ironclad scientific advice when they are actually peddling horse shit
Itās fairly depressing the amount of people who think COVID-19 is all a cod still at this stage.
I fully agree that life must go on and we need to live with this & protect the vulnerable.
People need to get that level of normality back without question.
But, people have dropped their guards. Their actions are terrifying elderly people.
My old man, in his early 80ās and in fair fettle etc. He was happy away to stay independent and go to town for his bits & bobs.
Spoke to him during the week & he says he hasnāt been in town in 10 days.
I was surprised so called to see him & see was all okay. He was grand thankfully but he bluntly said he didnāt feel comfortable in town anymore.
He felt that people were back to crowding on top of each other, no patience or space being given even to an elderly man.
Is it fair that for all those who claim itās a cod & we should drive on again that a man who in his golden years is afraid to go to town?
The Country took the pain in March - April and suppressed this disease effectively but itās all forgotten now it seems.
People unwilling to wear a mask or use sanitizer entering public spaces.
I think in certain settings theyāve been too cautious. I believe theyāve fucked up royally by not being clear in delivering the most important message. Social Distancing & Good Hygiene.
They have ruined the golden years of our old and the best years of our young over a fucking flu. Oh and raped the economy to death in the process, that too
