Bang on with this, unfortunately the state and commercial media companies in Ireland are earning large amounts on income from Covid. Sadly, covid has been monetized and they are protecting the golden goose.
 
Sorry what?? you do know we will be paying off the PUP through taxes and borrowing for years to come?
So are you saying that RTE are running all those covid ads for free ? You might recall just prior to Covid the plans for large scale pay cuts in RTE, so the income from  covid has certainly boosted their coffers..

I read your comment as the state itself (nothing to do with media) is up money from Covid.

Some may argue that as cases were rising, some people have been showing a total lack of respect for other people by going to a busy Dublin airport, going into a confined space with a couple of hundred people for a couple of hours, flying to another country, going to pubs, etc in that foreign country, going to a football match, then going back into a confined space again with a couple of hundred people on the way home.

ICU numbers up to 130 now. We really need these to start slowing down or going down soon. They are already cancelling some surgeries as it is. I did hear them say that around 150 would really start to cause problems for other non covid matters. Whatever about the hospital numbers the ICU numbers are creeping up bit by bit every day. Plus you tend to stay in ICU for longer than a hospital bed say.

What it proves is that nobody has a leg to stand on which makes the tut tutting from the holier than thou on here pathetic.

It's like I've said from day 1. The thresholds on restrictions, acceptable behaviour, etc is different for everyone.

I've been accused of all sorts on here re covid, but the fact is I've probably been more careful than most on here (even when I went away for a week last week I didn't do a gufct - I stayed away from pubs, went to restaurants when it was quiet and very few in them, etc). It's not because I'm scared of covid, more the fact I'm a boring b@stard.

But I'd never judge anyone whose line or threshold is different to mine. You can nit pick at anyones behaviour if you wanted. Fair play to gufct and others for going away for match and enjoying themselves, but ffs don't come back lecturing others for going to pub 🙄 (staying away from pub myself but that's not the point)

The superspreaders at the moment are in schools anyway, there's no doubt about that

Very true. My worry isn't about what way the numbers will go or boosters being administered, I'm worried about the Government rolling out restrictions again and being painfully slow to roll back on them like the last two summers!

So are you saying that RTE are running all those covid ads for free ? You might recall just prior to Covid the plans for large scale pay cuts in RTE, so the income from  covid has certainly boosted their coffers..

Advertising spending is massively down the past 2 years. Those covid ads aren't making much of a difference. And if you think they are keeping loads of RTE staff in jobs you need to look into that a bit more. And then by default you also think RTE are happy to play up the virus for their own financial ends as well as other media outlets?

A friendly media giving the government a pass on their handling is one view point, what you have posted above is an extremely different view point altogether.

No even if more restrictions are needed it will only be for a month id say. Unless the numbers went bananas. I dont see lockdown like we had before unless we went all Austria on it number wise.

You would think that but I just don't trust the government would row back on anything quickly. Sure they were saying they know the 12am close won't make a different, it just sends a message. At this stage we know if things close they close for months, not weeks because of the 'abundance of caution'

I hear yah, it's never ending. Personally I don't think we will be going into lockdowns again, restrictions yes but that's it. One of the longest lockdowns, one of the slowest reopenings, one of the highest vaccinations rates we've had our medicine. Now it's time for the government to hold it's nerve.

is one of the symptoms covid talking sh*te on a forum. If so Cabra I think you should go for a PCR test.  Then again you are a rovers fan so it could be a pre-existing condition.
