The issue was that many businesses invested in things in anticipation of being able to operate within a new set of restrictions (and many invested and were never allowed to open).

The point is why would you invest now?

I love this thread. It’s the same thing over and over again. A chorus of us saying…it’s fucking NPHET / FFG and a determined faction saying…it’s a fucking pandemic.

Why wouldn’t you? If you invest now you’re getting ahead of the curve. Patterns repeat. This will probably happen again sometime in February/March. You’ll be ahead of the lads who can’t/won’t.

Investment is always a risk.

the hospitality sector has taken a shit the World over. Regardless of policy the one thing common between countries is that. Keep the business open an offset all the cost of it on to them? You’re making the strong stronger and the weak will die. Close all of them and offer equal support. That seems fair to me. Well not fair, but fairer.

You’ll have some lads blaming the GAA for it all, and then you’ll have posters like me dismissing them by pointing to the rise in cases all over Europe.

But then a few minutes later you’ll have me saying it’s all the HSEs fault while ignoring the rise in cases all over Europe.

Its TFKs way of representing the monotony and repetitiveness of actual real life scenarios. The longest 7 months in world history.

Level 3 had stabilized matters. Positive rate falling.

NPHET were wrong and panicked because they lost control last weekend of contact tracing.

Level 3 and Level 5 had minimal differences.

Let’s go back to Level 2.
