Normal people at least. Now we know that this virus is not a significant risk to any healthy person under 75, go out and start spending money people - we need to get Ireland working again.

I'm with you on lots of things Duff but that's straight out of the anti vaxxers handbook.

We seem(ed) to agree on what's a reasonable compromise on how we should all act but that's coming across as stop giving a fúck.

Lots of people doing a "take-away pints" crawl.

Well it clearly isn’t, so how should we act based on that?

Last time my mother (and father) in law was staying with us she had a good laugh when I told her that’s not what I had in mind when I asked the missus to have relations.

What part do you disagree with? I’ll compromise and say under 65. We should have been at level 3 since last Monday

I disagree with the sentiment that just because it affects a certain cohort of society, we shouldn't act. I think you've just done an English by not really meaning what you're saying but as I said the entire anti vax argument is that healthy people shouldn't have to take a potentially risky vaccine to protect a minority. Since you've mentioned level 3, I don't think you mean exactly that.

It's obviously completely irrelevant but why have Alaska not updated in days?

Nonsense anti vax comparison - lockdowns actually cause serious and long term damage. I was fully in favour of the initial lockdown. To be still relying on full lockdowns at this point is unacceptable and very dangerous.

We agree on lockdowns, it's the rhetoric you used to argue against them that I was commenting on. You can't be flippant about who it affects because the whole point is that you can't control the spread to the extent that you can be flippant.

What's happening in most of the rest of Europe is real and not what we want. IMO the steps we took in the summer (which I'm coming around to agreeing with) afforded us the ability to not need to lockdown but either way we're going to have a much more pleasant December than most, even if there's pain to follow.

No, the documentary will show that your flim-flammery was ultimately pointless and that innocents were needlessly hurt by your good intentions.

You took various bits of data at points in time to justify what you were doing, a kind of ironic "confirmation bias" like how masks make a difference and if we lockdown now, we will save lives in the future ... while non-COVID lives and businesses were smashed needlessly.


Who needs to be afraid of the "flippant" when we have people like yourself who would sleep-walk the public, a public you apparently don't trust to be able to think for themselves, into a sequence of rolling lockdowns without up-front calculation of the collateral damage resulting.

More people died in the winter of 2018 than last Winter, yet you didn't even notice. Are you a callous bastard for not noticing them or are we completely over-egging a public healthcare issue today ?


The rise in seasonal viral illness and the fallacies of using super-sensitive RT-PCR testing are well documented (and remain unrebutted by you, Statski). There has been a definite triggering of the COVID19 virus as we head into Winter and this is confirmed by CT lung scans and other techniques. But the level of infection is still vastly lower than that daily reported and projected by PCR testing which I think you all already realise is flawed.

Secondly anyone in Europe going into hospital for any procedure is being testing for COVID19 by PCR at the request of the doctors. Given the issue with the level of 'false' and 'late' positives with such massive testing inadvisably of the asymptomatic, you get a certain proportion of folks with stage 4 cancer treatment and terminal heart disease whose hospitalisation and possible deaths are currently being classified as COVID19 related if they had a positive PCR test in the previous 28 days, despite their other condition in reality.


But you do not want to consider or understand this. This is all "confirmation bias" by the other side as you avoid facing up to reality.

But Time will eventually tell.



I await your "whataboutery" or "crickets" response ... it's not a sophisticated arsenal typically ...

Good speech from Biden.

Has the "I'm Irish" bit been done yet?

I don't keep up with the politics of the board but can imagine that ruffling a few feathers.

"We will lead not by the example of our power, but by the power of our example....."

Jesus, I've missed a US President who could actually string two words together.

One of the strangest things about Trump’s campaign was seeing Farage take the stage alongside him.

So Farage put 10k on Trump winning. Was that his own money I wonder?

He’s been very clever. He has identified this disenfranchised white working class vote and knows exactly how to play them. When you can sell a multi millionaire trust fund clown as anti-elite you have to hand it to them.

Generally yes, but not where these cünts are concerned. They've no mates and just flux each other up.

The wailing of the Brexitards about the election is just one of the most glorious things I've seen on here.

I guess being rude, obnoxious, misogynistic and untruthful speaks to a lot of people. Sadly.

The real enablers are core Republicans who should know better but they're mostly unaffected by him and might be by the Dems so they still vote for him, the spineless pricks.

I think the problem is that Trump now wields a lot of power in the Republican party.

He can lend his support to any republicans running against republican incumbents who don't support him now for mid term elections in 2 years

At least Merry was honest. He said he supported Trump because he thought it would be better for UK.

Mick is pretending he gives a shit about America becoming more liberal. His fears were the same as Merry's
