The dup would never allow channels to their beloved mainland to be shut. It just wouldn't happen.

Exactly. And no Dublin government will impose a hard border along the 6 counties. So a zero Covid policy isn't a realistic proposition.

0 Covid is achievable by Christmas according to Sam McConkey. You would think coming from a border county how impossible that is. He then went on talking about 0 Covid in Faro Islands and Greenland. Apples and Oranges.

Dont take this personally Sid as I dont know you but if what you post is what you believe and it is typically the way of many Democrats behave it is clear to see why some moderate Republicans or undecided voters go with Trump.

I know you may not see this, but the anti Trump supporters seem to be as crazy and fanatical as some of the moderate Trump supporters.

It truly is a fucked up situation
I am fanatically anti-fascist, fanatically anti-the widespread denigration of science and reason and fanatically anti-the targetting of minorities for othering

I see no reason why everybody shouldn't be fanatically anti-those things because the evidence is pretty clear those things are disastrous for humanity

This is a discussion forum and if people are not fanatically anti-those things it is up to them to explain why they are not

It is up to them to explain why they are in favour of ideologies which are demonstrably disastrous for humanity

And the vast majority of people are anti those things as well.

However if anyone has the temerity to question something or even have a different view (no matter how minor) the vitriol that comes there way from you (and many Democrat supporters) is incredible.

Perhaps if the anti Trump brigade tried to get their message across in a different way (rather than in the way outlined above) then this vote in November wouldnt even be a contest

+1 the left should stand by their ideologies of freedom of speech, not freedom of speech on their own terms.

What is it that the left are preventing people from saying?

Anyone with an alternative opinion to most of the left leaning posters on here are ridiculed instead of presented with reasonable debate. One poster in particular is shocking, no manners what so ever. If you dont agree with me, your a degenerate retard, have the brains of a 10 year old. This kind of destructive nonsense has no place on a gaa forum, would you agree?

Stop being negative Hound sure they're only statistics according to some geniuses!!

The whole basis for any scientific study is based on data & stats. It proves or dis-proves a theory based on populations of standard sampling. Your an annoying kind of fella, with your constant snide remarks. Very little substance to your posts.

"It's only a cold"
"Let everyone get it so we can have immunity"
"It only effects the old"

Tell that to this poor woman

https://www.rte.ie/news/coronavirus/2020/0929/1168119-life-after-covid-19/

I don't think anyone denies the effects of Covid v Flu, now the results are in, so to speak.

But for every story like this, there are unknown thousands that get it and are just fine. Negative news sells unfortunately.

+1, in any statisical distrubution of the population there is always extreme cases. How many of us know people in their 30's & 40's who went to bed seemingly healthy & never woke up? But sure I'm a covid denier eh Rossfan.

The timelines for test and trace in the republic is a total ch%t show, waste of time informing close contacts 6 days later.

Are people surprised Donegal is now seeing a lot of cases, the crowds were flocking there during the summer. Its a warning to all.

If that's the case then I'd be surprised if you weren't surprised that Lifford is the county's hotspot. And given that nobody has ever visited Lifford, save to get diesel, then the summer crowds probably weren't the spreaders.

Ironically the hotspots in Donegal are actually total ch*t holes that are way off the tourist trail, namely Convoy, Lifford & Stranrolar. Have seen a huge level of English reg cars since April, even now still way above normal level. These English tourists don't seem to be contributing anything to the rise in Covid cases, but sure we'll blame them anyway, never mind our own eggits who are actually causing the spread at house parties, whore houses etc.

https://www.irishtimes.com/news/ireland/irish-news/the-far-right-rises-its-growth-as-a-political-force-in-ireland-1.4358321

The far right always gathers pace when people are unhappy. History has shown that.

Ah now. How many far right movements worthy of the name have we ever had in Ireland?
The Blueshirts is the only one I can think of.
Dunno about that. Are you overlooking the Catholic church and the other mainstream churches? The Legion, of Mary and Opus Dei, for instance were/are more right wing than Oliver Cromwell.

Legion  of Mary made up of a few auld ones saying a few prayers and giving a few pound to charity. Disgusting and illogical to associate them with far right.

Anyone aligning themselves with Jim Corr's views needs to take a long hard look at themselves.

Could be trying to get off with one of his sisters. Probably a bit of a conspiracy theory though.

ive seen people say masks destroy your immune system yeah wearing a mask in a shop for 5 - 15 minutes destroys your immune system.

I've been wearing these masks in my job for 20 odd years up to 8/10 hours a day. Immune system is grand and I've never heard asthmatics etc have any bother wearing them.

Disposable one, you probably change every 3 hours. As opposed to one people use every day without washing.

So Rudi do we ignore the Covid and get on with business as pre 2020 usual and tough luck on those who get it.
The Yanks seemed to start on that road for a while if I recall correctly?
By the way the Brits must be in right trouble with their testing seeing as they asked us could we help them!!

You draw strange conclusions, you called me a Covid denier before. I appreciate this virus is new to the western world and scientists/ people in authority need to play things safe until more is known, however some sort of middle ground or balance is required.

A new virus so things only coming to light as it goes on.
Some of the after effects are frightening and hopefully those that haven't any will stay that way.
Not much consolation telling Taylor's 2 friends that 98.86% dont die from it.
99.99% of people don't drown in the sea but we still have lifeboats.

There are other effects of the virus that are hard to impossible to define in terms of numbers. Mental health, shut down of essential life saving medical appointments/ treatment. Huge amount of collateral damage caused by Covid.

"Otherwise, the population of 10 million was asked, rather than ordered, to respect physical distancing and work from home if possible, which it largely did."

How would people in Ireland etc react to being asked to not mix in pubs etc? It would've been carnage. We are a much more militant population than the Scandinavians I would suggest.

I think Irish people have become pretty compliant apart from a few militant hard left & right nutters. Examples of non compliance would be the water rates debacle & recent anti mask rallies.
