China Coronavirus

Swann really should say what the data is to drive the decisions he makes.

It isn't zero COVID or hospital admissions mind you or there wouldn't be any roadmap.

When they opened up for Christmas it was a disaster and caused the numbers to skyrocket. I think they're just being ultra cautious with Easter coming up. They'll wait till after Easter and a few things will open then. If we open before then families will meet up indoors and a lot of the progress will be lost.

Are families not meeting up? Lockdown is totally over as far as I can see.

If it's over then why are people complaining about being caged up?

Are we not caged up?
Stay at home unless essential travel
How is that not caged up?

Caged up? Sweet jesus Smurfy, that's the kind of hysterical nonsense that serves zero purpose. I've been up since 8. Spent a few hours gardening, out for a run and a family cycle. Watching a bit of the game now. Caged up, don't think so. Weathering the end of this storm, yes

At last, some common sense from the NI First Minister ...

She is just showing off.
Offering vaccines at the end is of no practical use, in June there will be plenty of vaccines the problem will be getting them into people. Offering vaccines next week would a help.

It's as snide as f**k, a verbal payback for all the bullshit talk of the need for cooperation that was coming the other way last year.

DUP policies killed more people in the last year than the Provos managed in any year of the Troubles.

Prob be a spike now after the scenes throughout the north last night, infuriating that these morons will prob mean we are set back weeks, peoples lives and livelihoods on the line and the cops allowed that to happen, complete disgrace. and for the record id have the exact same view if it was Celtic/ Liverpool/ Man Utd/ Linfield or Cliftonville fans, morons of the highest order.

Robin Swann doesn't really have much of a clue. It's McBride driving him. Swann was meant to quit as Health Minister before this all kicked off.

Anything that makes the South look bad appeals to her.
