Diego is off on Holidays to Majorca he just doesn't want to admit it

[CM11]

This place looks wrong. :(

[EnergiseR]

You went though various iterations of PR didn't you Stats?

[iarmhí]

Stats were on you on that other bored f365?

[CM11]

ER, think I was on the first iteration but found it a couple of years after it started.

Iarmhiman, no, not on 365.

[iarmhí]

Jesus Mitty is here. Haven't heard from him in yonks.

[Mitty]

Jesus Mitty is here. Haven't heard from him in yonks.

Just popped in to say hello. Won't be hanging around long now lockdown is winding down. Hope all is well with you lads :)

[iarmhí]

Numbers are starting to swell here.

Leave F365 to the DACs and Togas of this world.

[TNT]

Only 2 pages? This is disappointing.

[iarmhí]

Only got going last night.

I see the policy from Tones is to try and dampen any enjoyment people are getting from.their haircuts and pints. I see an article on the front of the independent says the increase in cases is a 'surprise' to all. It literally is not a fucking surprise. He needs to get off the stage

We were allegedly down to 1 in a million in the community. I'd prefer not to see too many more 20+ days this week.

He's doing his job but not leading the response anymore, as far as I can see. He's hardly going to stay silent as our cases rise, there has definitely been an abandonment of most of the rules.

I presume all of this is humour? There aren't actually people upset about this, are there?

We have a cluster here in Sligo with a family returning from Iraq (the Dad’s a barber ffs), and since yesterday, when the caravan parks opened in Strandhill and Rosses Point, we’ve had a cavalcade of caravans from all over the country, but mainly from Nordie Land. Anyone who thinks this will end well has their head stuck firmly up their ass.

He is completely oblivious to the pressure parents have been under for months. Blind to it. Starts shiteing on about travel and then cites a tiny hotspot of 5 or 6 cases from Iraq. Nobody is going on holidays to Iraq you massive nob

actually i just booked a trip there. Baghdad is majestic this time of year with the sun shining and the faint smell of fresh Napalm in the morning haze

Avoid Sligo, gotcha. ;)

Outdoor stuff is still low risk though. The question really is whether we have the transmission route between general population and vulnerable under control.

Iraq is the latest of the imported cases. He's also mentioned several other countries.

But for me it'd be less the countries that are traveled to and more trying to get there and back without catching it in the airport/on the flight.

I'm also not sure why travel abroad is vital for kids? Holiday yes but why specifically abroad?

[iarmhí]

See the EU list of allowed countries .

USA not on the list and FOX are not happy:

lets hear you say this after you have spent a week trapped in a holiday home in West Cork with your 6000 kids because its hoored rain the whole time

[EnergiseR]

Also one size clearly doesn't fit all. For example going to the Canaries now is safer than say Sligo

I just can't watch Americans anymore, had to stop halfway through. Anyway, isn't the European travel ban still in place for the US?

fucking hell. The shock in the presenters voice "travel ban on.......AMERICA!!!!"

and then the guest banging on about we should be grateful for their help in WW2

It is but you know Americans and their sense of entitlement.

Wait until you see the Brits reaction when they need authorisation to travel to the EU next year. They will lose their minds.

West Cork, Kerry or Connemara is where we usually go. We were actually meant to be abroad this year but only for the 4th summer holiday with the kids since our first was born. Not worth the travel hassle and cost.

Looks very difficult to maintain that if the asymptomatic stuff is true

True.

We do know a lot more now though and I'd say some asymptomatic spread in the past wasn't actually asymptomatic. e.g. The loss of smell or fatigue, which people would have ignored. They're also testing way more and getting asymptomatic close contacts.

[CM11]

Btw, I'm not missing a setting to distinguish posts, quotes etc. better, am I? Everything is a bit samey.

[EnergiseR]

True. It will be verboten to go anywhere with the sniffles. That has its own issues as we are about to have the recession from hell. This bullshit from McWilliams that it will be grand is scarily inaccurate. Being broke is being broke and with everybody the same we won't have FDI to cushion the blow.

I'm still optimistic but a second wave (not unlikely) will probably dampen that.

We're also one of few countries whose manufacturing output increased, and not insignificantly

[iarmhí]

We'll get spikes all the way to October, then as we start to congregate indoors the 2nd wave will come back.

It only take 1-2 super spreaders who refuse to wear masks on public transport or indoors.

Looks like Netanyahu is shaping up to annex jewish settlements in the West Bank

Shinners will have a field day

Interesting timing for Coveney and Ireland’s new-found position of influence on the UN Security Council

We need to stay neutral on that. We need US FDI and the US is an ally of Israel. Fact is Issues in Israel/Palestine should not concern us as we've little to gain from it.

[EnergiseR]

Iarmhi that is spot on. I think the important thing is to take the fear out of it now as in the blind panic some are feeling. Here is the measures and here is how we are dealing with it. Get Tony back ensuring cancer patients etc are getting looked after and tell him we'll see him in a few months

While I don't disagree that he should be very focused on normal health issues and clearing that backlog, he is hardly going to stop advising the government or population during a pandemic. Summer hasn't stopped this elsewhere, we're where we're at because of huge effort, it'd be a bit pointless for him to just give up and let us at it. Because we've already seen what that looks like with the whole country seeming to think it's over.

Good man Liathroid.

I never asked you this before. Are you from Ballymahon or Lanesborough?
