I agree that people need enjoyment in their lives, but at what cost? That's what needs to be constantly assessed and reassessed. Those governments who handled it better and gave clear guidance, as well as quicker and sharper lockdowns are further along regarding entertainment. Ireland and Britain are not. The natural response would be to irate at those governments for mishandling the situation, but instead people want to pretend that the virus has gone away because it suits those people. I think this is an incredibly selfish attitude, one of putting one's own individual wants ahead of societal needs. It is a fairly depressing indictment of modern society.

I like reading differing opinions on here, even Planning's (who I'm not sure if he's a troll or not). It can be very annoying when the responses turn into personal attacks or Sid's posts constantly straying off into alt right circles.
This is one of the better threads to read, please try and keep it that way

The Fat Emporer seems to be advocating a ketogenic diet to treat cancer. Is that what yer man Steve Jobs did? Went on some crackpot diet. He killed himself.

Trap he didn’t kill himself as he had pancreatic cancer and his prognosis was not good anyway. But the diet as you say is rubbish and it certainly did not save or cure him and he possibly died earlier than he may have. But I do not think it’s true to say he killed himself

Yes I know. He tried to cure himself with a crackpot diet. Apparently the cancer was caught relatively early and surgery was recommended immediately but Jobs declined and went on a mad diet that promised a cure and eventually acknowledged it wasn't working so had the surgery but it was too late by then. Pancreatic cancer is not good but he probably would have had a few years extra.

They are all wants, not needs. They are very important to people's lives, but not vital. We all have to make sacrifices for the greater good.
I want to be able to go to gigs and the football again, apart from my partner, it's what I go to work for, but there's no satisfaction in going to them right now. It is selfishness to be putting these things ahead of people dying.

The vast majority of people I know work to live and not the other way around. I'm lucky in that I've been back in the office since April but loads of people are working from home and then have no social release. IMO the restrictions themselves aren't the problem, it's the not knowing how long they will go on is the issue. No pubs, no holidays, nothing to look forward too is what is getting to people. Selfish yes as people have died but people need something to look forward to.

This. Ngl, but it is getting to me now at this stage. I'm also WFH since mid-May and miss the craic in the office. Its got to the stage where I have basically written off the rest of the year and just wishing it away with nothing to look forward to and I'm sure I'm not the only one. I would hate if this was to drag on well into next year.

I fear it will. No on/off, pause button for this shoite. I think a vaccine for 2021 is a pipedream and with that you have the roll out, the anti vaxers, fear of side effects etc. Masks to some degree will be around in Ireland forever now too.

And if you don't work to live you are either doing it wrong or making a massive sacrifice for the progress of humanity! I'm not saying that this ideal, but it's the definition of First World problems. I'm not going to pretend I don't miss gigs or live football and I'm not going to pretend I am not comparatively lucky in that I am working less hours for roughly the same money and it hasn't impacted my basic needs and requirements. However, it feels like those with least to complain about are complaining most. Not being able to go abroad or go to the football is frustrating, not life threatening! I get the frustration, but people aren't half playing it up! The same ****s here who bang on about the Blitz and Dunkirk are the same ones who can't survive a year without a trip to Benidorm. |

People think its bad now when in reality in December we will look back on this time thinking things were good. What exactly is the big moan about? The foreign holidays? The pub? The matches? There's actually very little things we can't do now compared to normality. We can go to the pub or restaurant. We can go to the shops, we can go on domestic holidays. We can watch live sport on tv. It's hardly hell on Earth. Imagine the blitz happened today. The moaning gits. ''I'm not turning my lights off for anyone!'' ''I'm not going down to the sleep in the underground!'' ''Nobody's going to stop me going to Germany on me holliers'' I have my civil rights. I'm not wearing a gas mask!

It is my own. I started it. Secondly I can't stand moaners like you whinging about how life now is sh*te and how they can't do xyz and how they want to open up the country. Its not that bad. Deal with it. I am not a moaner about missing normality or having my civil liberties abused. BTW where are those suicide rates you were peddling? What was it 700 in August int he west of Ireland?
