Meanwhile a state of emergency has been declared in Greater Manchester due to the spike there. England is having a bad pandemic generally because of poor government. Dr Michael Levitt, a Nobel Laureate whose predictions are said to have been highly accurate to date, is of the view that Ireland will not have to suffer a second wave.

If we have ongoing and intermittent interventions then it will just be a constant presence but at a lowish level. If we opened up and returned to normal like the loons want then it would be massively widespread and cause chaos. I can't see the pubs opening on the 10 August. It would be a very bad decision to reopen.

Somebody told me there that the green list
Is going to be binned altogether in the next fortnight. Not that it gave us much flexibility to get away. Airlines are beyond goosed.

It’s not a state of emergency because Manchester is not a state
And secondly it’s a precautionary measure so that the council have more access to Government funds as they’re dealing with a larger population. The problem with England right now is Boris sold this fantasy of that the virus is disappearing, the 1m rule is gonna be abolished in November and life will return to complete normality then it took a verbal bollocking live on TV on Friday from his own Chief Medic Officer for him to down tools and realise that England are in for the long slog

The Irish Government may bail out Aer Lingus. A national icon, that symbolises Ireland worldwide, and brought countless shipments to Ireland full of PPE from Asia. Yes IAG own Aer Lingus, they lost nearly 4 billion this quarter. Germany, Italy and Sweden to name just 3 bailed out their national airlines regardless of ownership. Aer Lingus should be no different. Aer Lingus going bankrupt would be catastrophic to Irish business, not to mention the thousands of jobs related directly and indirectly.

You do realise a State of Emergency can be declared anywhere, not just entire states?

His predictions are said by himself to have been highly accurate to date In reality his predictions have been utter nonsense I see he was on the Sindo again yesterday with well known professional sh*t stirrer Niamh Horan telling us this was all fizzling out This is the same guy who three months ago was telling us through well known professional sh*t stirrer Niamh Horan that it would be all done and dusted within two weeks The guy's a self-promoting fraud and to be avoided

Those who told us that we would have 15,000 cases by the end of March. Should they be avoided also ?

No it can't. If a state of Emergency was applied it would apply to the entirety of England not 1 part of it. The risk in Manchester has been declared a 'Major incident' basically the same level as a terrorist attack, for reasons I mentioned above. Why have they done that? Because as said 26 councils are above the 1 R rate, a good 12+ out of those 26 are in the Manchester region; Oldham, Stockport etc.

Does that mean someone in Manchester can't be in a state of arousal unless the whole country has a boner?

There's a difference between those who warn of what could well happen if anti-virus measures are not taken and those who tell us not to take them, or those who baselessly assert the threat is overblown You listen to somebody who tells you to wear a seat belt, otherwise you're more likely to get killed in a crash You listen to somebody who tells you not to drink drive because if you do you're more likely to crash You don't listen to the person who tells you not to wear a seat belt or tells you to drink drive because there's a chance you won't crash and get killed The logic of those who say not to listen to those who warned there could be 15k cases by the end of March is the logic of those who laugh in the face of those who tell you to wear a seat belt or tell you to not drink drive "I didn't get killed and I drink drove without a seat belt - just proves you were talking nonsense!" That's the logic The logic of Mr. Levitt and other pollyannas is the logic of those who told us we would have a soft landing at worst before the global financial crash, the logic of those who told us "we will look back and wonder how we didn't fill our boots with those bank shares" Mr. Levitt is another Karol Sikora, another Myron Ebell

I happen to live on the border of one of those councils in lockdown. I live in Cheshire East, 5 mins from Altrincham (Trafford). I’ll sum Manchester up at the minute. You can get sacked for refusing to go to your office, fined £100 for having someone in your garden. And given 50% off to go for a meal out. The entire thing is laughable. I was in ‘lockdown’ Manchester earlier in kwik fit and went for lunch.. yeah it seemed completely normal.
