Dunnes stores last Wednesday night was worse than any pub Iâve been in.
@Biff_Egan the Dail committee was worse than that. What they used Soda water to demonstrate was false positives. They were never asked why someone would want a false positive.
Youâre assuming there that personal responsibility wasnât taken by all parties, when it was. The unvaxxed pcr tested 23rd and negative given 24th. The rest, like myself, are hardly in public spaces and had been testing all week. No symptoms, no mixing in public spaces and regular testing⌠As I said, sensible people who donât want to contract covid wonât. Now obviously, people with school kids are slightly different and I appreciate that. But what you have here largely is people talking about personal responsibility but then going to the pub or mingling with people outside their circlesâŚthey donât have the fortitude or discipline to actually do the right thing so they end up with covid. Itâs all very simple really but youâll get a lot if guys lashing out at me as their own guilt and defensiveness kicks in.
Iâm not though. Plenty of people have been cautious, did everything right, did their tests and what not but still got it through no fault but just bad luck and bad timing of meeting someone positive themselves who may not have known. There really isnât any logic to who gets it and when as Iâm sure anyone who has had it in their house will tell you. Some will get it, some wonât. Some get it and they wonât have a notion how they did because they did everything right.
I said it before I had it myself, but the shame that nphet and the media generally by the way they communicate things about people who get covid is all sorts of wrong. Some people feel embarrassed to say they had it, as if there is something wrong by being unfortunate enough to get it. That in my opinion hasnât helped matters the way they have stigmatised things as Iâm sure people have got it and pretended they didnât for fear of being castigated by getting it.
