"How easy it was to control us" How quickly people will give up their democratic "rights" through fear. How an unelected government can push through sweeping powers for the police. How rapidly public order can break down and people greedily stockpile essential items to the detriment of others more vulnerable. How little of a shit many of us give about the wellbeing of others It's simultaneously fascinating and disturbing to see how tenuous the freedom, rights and civilisation we take for granted really are at the end of it all. | |||

Do you think we should all just toe the line or start to question our unelected government, Maybe ask why are we doing it this way nd not like Sweden, how come the news isn't telling us how Sweden are doing it with no lock down " Tell you what why don't you just ignore the lockdown and go on about your life seeing as you seem to think it's all a conspiracy as everyone should ignore it and carry on as normal. And when you and people close to you get sick then take a long look at yourself and realise you are responsible for their illness and possible death . Because that is what will happen and is why this is spreading cos people prefer to believe it's all bull. Its not and by the way masks don't really work to stop you getting infected they help stop people with the virus infecting others more than protect the person who is wearing them. They only offer minimal protection to the person wearing them. It's why when you work with people who have covid you wear pull ppe including a full face visor and even all that won't necessarily protect you. The only way to stop this is what most people are trying to do staying at home and social distancing and good hygiene preventative measures. But it is still spreading cos some prefer to believe its goverment conspiracy etc. And people are dying because of this and others are risking their lives looking after people who need care and help because others just won't bloody listen. | |||

Ultimately, every government has to decide on a course of action based on the circumstances of their country and its demographic, information that is changing by the day, and update strategy as and when. Britain adjusted their strategy at a late point when it started to become obvious how much the infection had already spread, as a very densely populated country where London alone has more people than the entire country of Sweden, a highly contagious disease was very likely to run riot and their approach now looks to have been extremely ill-advised. There are many in Sweden, including medics, expressing unease at the policy of their authorities. Where mistakes are being made, people are paying with their lives. I'm not sure looking to apportion blame is entirely useful right now, any of us could be the vector that infects a vulnerable loved one. | |||

"Looking at other countries, I think Ireland is a good place to be during this crisis. Small population, fairly well dispersed, and generally following the guidelines to stay healthy. We still have plenty of wild open spaces,or gardens, the food supply chain works, and a benign police force enforcing the rules. I can see the mistakes other countries have made(with hindsight), and I think our Govt have been lucky, and made good decisions. " I would agree on the whole, the one thing I cannot understand is why there is non-freight travel being allowed in. Our island is very well placed to control traffic in and out. Early consensus with NI should have been reached on this IMO. Telling Irish citizens they cannot travel more than 2 km from their homes while UK registered private cars are driving around - WTF? Italians flying in on holiday or for a weekend WTF? | |||

"Another matter it should have highlighted for us is the need for production here of vital medical supplies. In the event of a pandemic we cannot rely on others who will naturally prioritise their own population. " There is a ventilator factory in Kerry, exporting worldwide. We never considered we would need such huge quantities of PPE, like most other countries, but we have what we need now. | |||

" I question the motivation of some of decision made (right decision alright don't get me wrong). For example our unelected government has reacted early, because they know better than anyone else of the underinvestment and neglect the public health system. They gloriously lease the private hospitals to overcome the covid crisis. Who will pay for that and who will profit? | |||

"The world will learn nothing from this.nothing Never underestimate the stupidity of the average person In a few weeks we will be back to our race to destroy the planet as quick as we can" We have very short memories alright. And while we complain about gyms being shut, some African countries are shrugging their shoulders at what is just another deadly disease to them, we haven't even got an awareness of the plague of locusts sweeping parts of Africa and the Gulf States destroying food crops and almost inevitably leading to famine for millions. Just another day in paradise.... | |||

Most have been for about 4 and shut to visitors but staff are still going in so that is usually how it is getting in people going in while they are still in the incubation period without symptoms which can be up to 9 days from the time they become infected. Or from residents who may have had hospital admissions and went back to the homes. No matter how many safeguards are in place it can still get in. And yes people will die in them if it gets in to any home sadly which is why any home is doing its best to keep it out. But it is not always possible to keep it out or to stop it from spreading and most deaths are not coming from nursing homes. The simple truth is staying at home and social distancing is what is stopping this thing running riot. It shouldn't be that hard to comprehend. And before you try and tell me about care homes I work in that sector so I am well aware of what happens and the safeguarding that is in place to try and prevent it getting into homes and to stop as may deaths as possible. I also have to go to work not knowing every day if it's in my workplace or who may have it or it this is the day I'm going to get it. Because someone is bored and decided to ignore the simple thing of staying at home and if they go out follow protocol. Because this had been going on a few weeks now some people are bored and deciding it is worth the risk until it actually hits them close to home and by then it's too late. And sadly some people pay th le price with their lives and its not a nice death drowning in your own lungs gasping for air with every breath is a horrific and terrifying way for anyone to die just because people don't want to stay at home and are bored.If people do follow protocol this could be over in a few weeks as less get infected and therfore it doesn't keep spreading if they don't this is going to go on for months It is actually that simple shouldn't be hard to understand. Look at countries that were late to shut down look at the deaths there surely that alone should show what happens and be enough for people to realise how out of control this could get. I'm not even going to comment anymore because I know some people won't agree and this will keep going for longer than it should. | |||
