Starting from a point where the incidence of the virus was extremely low following lockdown, there followed a period where quite a few restrictions were still in place. At the end of that 14 people died.
It’s suggests to me more would die if you continued on the current course, starting at a point with higher incidence and fewer restrictions and proceeding from there.
Yes Ireland in the general and NPHET in the government in particular have made a hames of this pandemic.
But that doesn’t mean it’s not still serious and a serious threat.
It seems bizarre that people think it’s over or its no longer a threat, that because not so many people are dying now that proves it’s not dangerous.
One point of order, without knowing the age or health profile of those 14 people but if it is following the trend, then a person in their 80’s with poor health is not a tragedy it is a part of life. It is sad for the families just as it was sad for my family when my grandparents died of old age or poor health but it wasn’t a tragedy.
On the Isle of Man. They were singled out because they were wearing masks. I’d say it’s a curtain twitchers paradise and home to some of the biggest cunts on earth.
