astfgyl won't be happy right about now.

What did I miss?

Hope he didn't take any mushrooms. Some shit buzz if he did.

Talk of level 5 kicking in nationwide.

[Eoin McLove]

Ireland has been promoted to level 5. Crack open the Champers.

Here, I just went off and checked. I did predict Holohan would be back to his hardline shite again. Well they can fuck off with their recommendations as far as I am concerned. There is no actual law for it anyway at the moment. Growth rate of hospitalisations declining throughout September and all.

I don't think anyone is going to be too pleased about this anywhere in the country. Hopefully the cabinet will see sense and recommend that NPHET use the proper metrics to decide on restrictions. Hopes are made to be dashed though.

And yeah thank fucking god I had a bad day out picking. Fair hate to be tripping reading that announcement. Am I alone as usual in thinking this is silly stuff?

Your last few posts on the subject have made you sound like a patronising fuck TBH. You're not some enlightened fellow who sees between the lines. Rates of infection are on the rise, so yeah, it's just you that thinks it's silly.

When did you start speaking for everyone else? You must have no life to be missing. Back to your playstation with you.

A guy that posts nutcase conspiracy theories on a heavy metal forum, goes out picking magic mushrooms and also posts in the videogaming thread tells me I have no life?

Jog on ya arrogant cunt, I honestly hope you fucking catching it and destroy your lungs.

[Eoin McLove]

So,  eh... anyone for a drop of Champers or....?

[Juggz]

Absolutely, but only if served in a tinfoil goblet!

[astfgyl]

Well Ducky, I wasn't going to get too personal about it, and I have never once been reduced to hoping anybody caught it. Quite the opposite in fact, so I'll ask you a few questions instead.

Have you any kids? Have you a job? Have you a girlfriend or wife? Have you ever had issues with mental health? Are you in an at-risk group? Have you looked into any of the facts around cases and the definition of such? Have you looked into the definition of pandemic and how it has changed in the last few years? Have you done any research into the opposite view to that which is presented by the government and NPHET? What are the conspiracy theories that I have posted here?

I'm sorry to see you stoop so low as to wish illness on someone. It's obviously not just me who is having their head fried by all of this, unless you are a cunt all of the time which doesn't seem to be the case. I hope you have the balls to answer those few simple questions as it might explain why you take the stance you do around all of this.

Average daily mortality rate in Ireland has been essentially one since end of June, despite a significant rise in cases going back 2 months now (https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/country/ireland/ click the box to the right of 7-day moving average on each graph). Moving to level 5 on that basis is an invitation to ordinary people to protest en masse, and when they do that there'll be no lack of bullshit out there for them to "research" and the baby could well get thrown out with the bathwater. All stats, risks, and realities considered in a purely empirical manner, I would describe a move to full restriction as a colossally misguided move for Ireland at the moment.

Come on man, the tinfoil hat is the lowest common denominator when it comes to putting forward an argument around all of this. Right up there with "muh FrEeduMb". You can disagree with every single thing I say, but surely there is more to swat me away with than that old shite. That and personal insults are pretty poor from grown men.

That is pretty much what I think of it, but you have a much more eloquent and considered way of making the point than myself, even if you disagree with my general take on the situation. Hopefully you get it and it fucks up your lungs you arrogant cunt.
