I donāt know how ye stick it on Craggy island, the constant media bombardment, the shite the second you get off the plane, PLF, yellow fucking signs everywhere, ads on the radio the second you get in the car, every cunt on nearly every programme shiteing on about covid, case numbers announced religiously every day with mask wearing morons glued to it, I dip in here and boards and Irish twitter, christ it would drive you ape
Say what you want about the Brits, but thank god I live here, Life is normal, no one gives a shite about this nonsense
Weād a colleague leave us after 13 years last week ago and a note went out to say farewell to her and that it would be marked another time (i.e. no gathering)
I keep asking you this and you keep evading. What is the benefit of uncontrolled Covid spread? Itās what you have consistently advocated for. So there have to be some benefits, right?! What are they?!
Itās not uncontrolled mate. We still have many restrictions in place. Masks are mandatory indoors, we have vaccine passes, social distancing in some places and anyone who can is wfh. Some areas of the economy are completely fucked and have never really got back. But we are allowed socialise etc. The government are trying to balance peopleās rights and measures to combat the virus. Trying to keep buy in from most of the people because otherwise control measures are useless anyway. To say it is uncontrolled is completely wrong. We are trying as best we can to control it.
Israel has gone from 10/11k cases to 479 cases in their latest daily figure. Thatās within two months. I donāt have the exact figures to hand but I think thatās with between 4 and 5 million boosters rolled out in a population of 8.84 million.
If you applied that to whole population youāre realistically looking at eliminating it entirely.
