But some things are fact.....hospitals across the globe are reaching breaking point due to the nature of this virus, compared to most previous years.....Hospitals across the globe were shown up to be woefully inadequately prepared for this little virus. Many countries almost ran out of basic ventilator parts, such was the increase in demand.
Take Texas for an example...many of the counties in that state are at of near capacity in terms of ICU beds...unprecedented. India, Iran Brazil Mexico,Italy France Spain...the list is endless. Now these are people who need treatment in an ICU environment. The only reason why it has eased off...is because people had the shyte scared out of them over this little virus....

As for now?
Well...people have had enough.
Fine by me.

And incidentally, I don't think the virus gives a flying Fcuk that people are fed up...It's a virus..it doesn't think.
The lockdown was always about buying time to get prepared and not get stuffed and over run at the start.
Be under no illusions......ICU capacity came close to topping out...were it not for the slowing down of the transmission in the community. That could only have been achieved by the draconian measures taken the world over.....but the world wants to move on....fine by me....but I can tell you there are many hospital staff who will not hang around if and when this starts kicking off again...

Here in Ireland they median age of infection is now below 40 and falling...so younger people...I now know of at least two mid 20 years old who are currently close to ventilator treatment. Both are healthy enough...but both have asthma...No anybody with asthma?


Good sensible post as always. As you say people can do exactly what they want but this virus is not going away and I am of the view it will come back stronger. There’s talk of a trade off now - pubs closing so schools can reopen. I like a drink but schools must reopen so our kids can be educated and opportunities are not missed. People can always drink at home FFS or outdoors!

Annoys me still when out walking - had a huge row today as a jogger came within touching distance as opposed to not going around me. I shouted FFS - he stopped and said what’s your problem. I told him he was an inconsiderate c unt and it nearly came to blows - wish I had just stuck my leg out! Why do joggers even want to jog on popular Family walking paths anyway covered in sweat!
