I have a feeling that after a couple of weeks of opening any restrictions on pubs will be in the bin. People will lapse into old behavior when the novelty factor wears off, just like the slippage of the lockdown
its fraying around the edge already

God forbid having to talk to the wife when out. That would be awful.
Totally agree or pubs are finished.

…6 weeks ago today, Tony Holohan announced that the coronavirus pandemic had come to Ireland. Thankfully, I don’t know anyone that has tested positive for the disease. Unfortunately, I do know a lot of people that are out of work.How are the rest of you holding up?
If true, at least Dr Holohan called it a pandemic almost two weeks before the WHO did.
There’s an interesting contrast between the WHO’s handling of the SARS outbreak in 2002 and this latest outbreak in 2020. In 2002 the WHO was led by the outstanding Dr Gro Harlem Brundtland, ex prime minister of Norway. In December 2002 the Chinese government were aware of the outbreak of a deadly respiratory disease (SARS-1 was far more lethal then SARS-2) but didn’t alert the WHO. Not to be deterred the WHO were monitoring the Internet chatter of Chinese doctors and scientists, and took their information directly to the CCP and forced them to tell the truth. Brundtland publicly accused the CCP of withholding information and demanded to be let in to study the outbreak. As soon as cases were found outside China, the WHO advised against travel to affected areas. Their swift action was one of the reasons SARS-1 was contained, with fewer than 1,000 deaths worldwide.
Fast forward to 2019/2020. there was just as much or more chatter from Chinese scientists and doctors on the internet in December 2019 as there was in 2002. No action from the WHO. Finally on December 31st, the CCP informed the WHO that they had an outbreak of a new pneumonia. Chinese scientists had sequenced the new virus and knew it was SARS-2 by January 1, but this wasn’t shared with the WHO until January 12th. The numbers being reported by the CCP were utter bullshit in early January, claiming there were only 59 cases. Tedros never called the CCP out for withholding information, asked but never insisted that WHO scientists go in to investigate, finally met with Wi on January 28th and said what a great job China was doing.
When the US and other countries stopped travel to and from China these actions were called racist by Tedros. As the virus was literally being spread all over the globe in early February.
Tedros needs to go, and the WHO reorganized under competent management.
This photo of Tedros is attracting a lot of comment.
