Thatâs your view, my view is that non-essential travel is not safe and should be strongly discouraged because itâs a numbers game and the more you pile up the numbers the less safe things get.
As is the case with pubs, open indoor pubs now and youâre asking for a big explosion in case numbers.
The reason we havenât got that explosion as of yet is because we havenât opened pubs and there is not much non-essential travel going on.
Because they are obvious things which are proven spreaders. Generally what you do is you look in the obvious places. Schools are also a spreader, at least secondary schools are off now bar the Leaving Cert.
Say the pubs. And if you believe them, you deserve everything you get. The massive case numbers in December apparently all just appeared out of thin air. Nothing at all to do with pubs and travel.
There was lot else open. Shops, cafes and restaurants. Loads of people had gatherings at home with no masks, social distancing and plenty alcohol consumed. But itâs definitely the pubsâŚ
If you didnât object to the notion that travel was a major contributor to spread, you wouldnât have responded in the way you did. There would have been no reason for you do so. But you did. So QED.
So those things were responsible, but pubs and travel magically werenât. The level of cognitive dissonance it would take to believe that is high, to say the least.
I never said that. Youâve mentioned pubs here a few times. I just asked why you singled them out. I think there is a puritanical side to what you want to see in restrictions.
Anyway Iâm off to the gym before some zero COVID headbanger tries to close them again, for my health and that
I think itâs more that youâve been caught out lying. The arguments Iâve advanced here have all been entirely reasonable. All Iâve got back in response has been mind bending wishful thinking, delusion and gaslighting.
Iâve mentioned pubs because pubs spread Covid. Again, youâre ascribing a caricatured motive to somebody arguing against you. I love pubs. I love pubs more than Liverpool winning leagues.
I donât know it youâre just trying to be silly or on the wind up or what. I pointed out that you lied and you accuse me of lying. Now Iâm âgaslightingâ. I donât really know what that is.
