The GAA community in Azerbaijan need to hang their heads in shame

Which countries in Europe are experiencing a second wave of COVID-19?

He’s giggling away in the background delighted with himself for getting that dig in.

A top, top WUM.

Gaa definitely isn’t as popular as those of us brought up in it think. It’s way less popular than English soccer for example.

But we have 3 times the number of cases now

We’re testing 125000k people a week now.How many were we testing in March/April?

A lot of useless cunts that couldn’t rise the ball become bitter as well

Fuck off O’Rourke the animals in the GAA clubs were spreaders with their carry on after county finals

You’re a hyoocrite. Crowing here all evening about your plans to break the 5km restriction on your new bike.

He’s not wrong.

He was dead right.

One of the more interesting reports on the death rate was from HIQA in the summer which estimated a 33% excess in the expected death rate for Q2 2020 (from around the time of the first case until the drop off in June).
That’s a high number. A one third increase in our death rate isn’t something to just dismiss out of hand.

I am completely comfortable with these figures.

@Rocko

Schools and childcare are important to the health of society and, given the lower infection rates via children, can be allowed to open

Bollocks, complete electioneering. If it’s a deadly disease then it’s a fucking deadly disease. I think we should start paying teachers like oil engineers or some other deadly job.

On ICU they didn’t even try. They lied about that and they lied about contact tracing.

I will be breaking this lockdown at every possible opportunity. Which will be no opportunity.

[Lazarus]

It could simply be that increases in testing capacity are identifying more cases.

[Thomas_Brady]

You’ll do notin.

I’ve happened to stumble across @tazdedub complaining about Rathoat gaa club on at least two other platforms.

@Rocko

It would be great to take the millions of Euro this is going to cost us and invest it in expanding our ICU capability instead but apparently these things take time. This is where the government really loses me though. Show me the plan to double or triple our ICU capacity in the next couple of years and I’ll be far more tolerant of restrictive social measures.

Our National Press & media outlets are allergic to asking important questions in relation to this issue. It’s infuriating.

I think you might be off by a factor of a thousand there!

We seemed to be doing around 35k a week back then. So it’s definitely a factor in the number of cases but it doesn’t seem to be massively out of step then with three times as many cases now on 3.5 times as many tests.

Lads you all need to stop watching and listening to RTÉ. It’s not doing any of you any good.

By all means keep up the bitching on here though

[the_man_himself]

I enjoy hate watching it. I never watched Prime Time or Claire Byrne pre Covid
