six weeks maximum lockdown for ireland

i think theyre doing it now to try avoid open and flagrant breach at xmas


They're dangling Xmas in front of people's faces to try to get compliance back up but we all know things aren't going to be normal by then. The fact is, lockdowns are losing support and people are starting to get mad about it. At this stage you're much more likely to know someone who caught the virus and was either asymptomatic or had a mild case and made a full recovery, than you are to know someone who died or has scary "long term effects" that are most likely just post-viral fatigue syndrome. People are bored, they're depressed, they're missing out on milestones and running out of money. Fear isn't driving people's behaviour anymore, the desire to live normally is so they're trying incentives, they're trying fines, but I honestly don't think the lockdown will be followed like it was earlier in the year. I won't.

I still don't know one single person who has had covid. There's a chance a family member had it at the beginning of all this, but testing wasn't available and he was sent home to wait it out and told "good luck". He's got liver issues (Hep C from a previous heroin addiction) and is a drinker/smoker and whatever he had was pretty rough (like a really bad flu) but he survived it without needing a hospital visit and treated it with OTC medication and rest.

That's the only person who might have had covid that I know. There were a bunch of deaths in my county from it -- nearly all of them at the local nursing homes. But I don't personally know anyone who has had it or had a loved one die from it. I don't even know anyone who knows anyone who has had it.

Maybe I'd feel differently if I actually knew people who have died from it or at least tested positive for it, but I feel like the time to panic has long past and it is time to go back to normalcy. Life isn't guaranteed to any of us. No one knows the date and time of our death. I could die in a car accident tomorrow. Or drop dead from a heart attack or stroke this evening. I feel like we are being manipulated into demanding a level of safety before a return to normal that isn't even possible.

The worst part is that we are losing precious moments and memories for it. My kid graduated HS this year. No prom. No graduation ceremony. My MIL turned 80 -- no birthday party. I haven't even seen my own mother in months because I have to travel out of state to do it. She also has copd, so I'm afraid to risk giving her covid. She could die before I can see her again. She sits most days in her house alone because people don't come over to visit anymore. Her group of friends from high school used to meet for lunch every month and they no longer do that. If she were to die, her last year would have been spent being in isolation alone and not having any human touch with the exception of the rare doctor visit.

This all seems like madness to me. I'd rather live every moment and die early than hide out from the world and live a life that has no meaning or joy.

I am but a stranger on the internet, but I'm pretty sure I have it, and a friend of mine and his roommate had it. We've all survived so far. Friend and roommate had flu/bad chest cold symptoms and I've had fatigue and blood pressure issues. I started having symptoms October 1st and have been boring people with updates about my friend and then myself in the Kiwis kissed by Corona thread since September 21st. https://kiwifarms.net/threads/kiwis-kissed-by-corona.67470/
 
Seems that a judge overturned the ruling that did away with capacity requirements here in WI, and that means occupancy is limited to 25 percent of capacity per fire codes.

There was no public address by the Governor or Mayor of Milwaukee yesterday, so no word on new patients at the state fairground overflow facility. Still none, I'd wager, as it would be in the news this morning. Speaking of, the news is really showing off the new testing site at the Miller Park parking lot. Now they can test over 2K people in a day, yesterday they tested over 1,500. Again, they gotta get them numbers up. They give a phone number to call to describe symptoms, and then you get recommended for testing. I wonder how many callers were told to rest for the next couple of days and call back if symptoms change or worsen?
 
This year has been the ultimate for slacktivists, where all they need to is stay at home and wear a face condom and they can credit themselves as being just as heroic as a nurse or a WWII soldier on the frontlines since they're "saving lives". They've taken the smallest bit of truth (that staying at home doesn't spread disease and wearing a mask in some occasions might prevent the spread of disease, and that an old person might catch it and die) and exaggerated it into a heroic achievement and continued worship of self. I can't think of anything better for today's narcissistic and lazy society. It's pure narcissistic emotion because these people's lives are so meaningless.

Odds are these people have probably helped spread the flu before and help kill some grandma or infant, but they probably didn't know anyone ever died of the seasonal flu and they have zero concept of epidemiology, virology, or how to live as a functional human being.
Why don't you just @ him already?
 
>Posting on Kiwi
>Living a life of meaning and joy


Hahaha. :story:
We all find our own joy. The lolcows we laugh at find theirs and that gives us joy. The world is a cruel place and we must take solace wherever we can. Plus I'm just a heartless bitch who likes laughing at other people :feels:. (Also, everything is closed down, so cow watching beats watching pedo films on Netflix.)
 
I wonder how the pro-mask faggots would react to that CDC study that showed that 75% of coof patients reported always wearing a mask, and another 10% often. I guess it's really not about stopping the spread or saving lives after all. Wearing a mask has just become another way to virtue signal, and shaming those who don't is the newest way to be a moral scold.
I would take this with a grain of salt. People tend to lie to their doctors/dentists about behaviors that put them in their office in the first place.
Still though, that's good to know.
"...because you made it life-threatening..."

Yes, ma'am. I invented COVID-19! It was all me.
 
Well, looks like there's a petition going around to recall Governor Evers (I did not know that, thanks reporter dude!) who is on TV now. It's the first question from a reporter taken today. Tony says he stays awake at night thinking about Wisconsin deaths!! and isn't even thinking about that at this time. Now a reporter is asking about the upcoming holidays, and the DHS secretary says "people need to seriously think about keeping their dinners limited to immediate family." Be creative! Go virtual!
Here's the update of patients at the vital overflow facility to take on all these hospitalized cases!

1603219533476.png


Suspiciously, we're at the third question of the day and no mention of this facility, when all last week right out of the gate the reporters were asking about it. No one is asking about the hospitalization rate either. It's just "we're worse off than we were in March and April!" and the goal is to NOT stress the hospitals!! So they're basically admitting that it's all about the cases. Again and again with the mask and STAY HOME and, just now, that the science is CLEAR regarding wearing masks.

In re: unemployment, people are still waiting and apparently Google Cloud is assisting, I don't quite know how, but they're helping!! The Dems cleared out the surge fund to "take care of what we're doing today" referring to the facility at State Fair Park, which was actually transformed back in April, so I don't know why they pulled cash out now. AND FINALLY someone asks about the facility, and they are calling it an insurance policy. Again with the communication between hospitals, the surge planning, and they are sharing assets and resources amongst themselves (deploying, says the DHS sec) before they use the alternate care facility. The urgent cry for them to open it was answered!! Dynamic and fluid situation! It is actively being managed and we are in close contact with them!

Fuck these people. Gimme that petition.
 
The latest bullshit re the ChiCom Flu rate in the county I live in. Doesn't matter anyway. Newsom will milk this until he is out of office.

GOVERNOR'S LATEST REPORT CARD MOVES COUNTY A BIT CLOSER

This morning the California Department of Public Health assigned Monterey County a coronavirus score of 8.3 — a very small change from last week's score of 8.5, but one which nevertheless moves us a little closer to the elusive 7.0 threshold required to get out of the Purple Tier and into the Red Tier in the state's economic shutdown scheme. (But Newsom will keep moving the goal posts so the county will always stay where it is. - JS)

This week's score is based on Monterey County's coronavirus cases for the week ending Oct. 10, when the county's 7-day average infection rate per 100,000 residents, as reported by the Monterey County health department, was 9.7. For the week that end Oct. 17, our 7-day average rate jumped back up to 12.2. However, given the mysterious nature of the state's scoring system, it's hard to know what the increase of this past week portends for the eventual reopening of more sectors of our economy, including indoor dining at restaurants. For details about Monterey County's latest data, as reported by the California Department of Public Health, click here.

Below, you can also find the updated versions of our charts showing coronavirus infections countywide and in the Monterey Peninsula, along with the data for hospitalizations and our chart breaking down Monterey County's coronavirus cases and infection rates by zip code. Please check these charts and tables for the latest data on coronavirus cases in your community.


Watching the neighbors move. Hard to watch. One of the residents' relatives said she'd been out of work for months. Waiting on some financial assistance applied for. Newsom needs to chug those hot drinks 24/7/365.

Today I saw two fat women at the gym using towels to touch anything and not sanitizing anything because they used their towels. Using a gym towel normally is just collecting everyone's germs in one place and wiping them onto other surfaces.

Today I saw someone wearing a mask but they had no problem being barefoot (and my city is fucking filthy). What the fuck the mentality behind some people?



Today, I watched a snail crawl along the edge of a straight razor. That's my dream; that's my nightmare. Crawling, slithering, along the edge of a straight razor... and surviving.






... and surviving.
 
I've noticed these "If I can't be happy, neither can you" types popping up a lot more lately re: the lockdowns:
I can sort of take it on the chin if it's actual, legit cripples, to be honest. It's annoying, but a person with, say, CF or ME or whatever has a legit illness and it's not their fault, it sucks and I feel sorry for them.


The ones pure grating my carrot these days are the fatties who *know* they'll die if they get it and have been told by their GPs "you're too fucking fat, stay home" and who would continue to have to do so if we just decided let the vulnerable stay home, and us all get back to normal life. Because of this, they are getting really buttmad cos they don't want human sized, normal people to get back to normal. Sofie Hagen is a grand example of this and I've got a personal hate read who is losing her shit a lot, too.
 
Got a few other little points to make before I descend in to full on drunken shitposting mode.

Was just talking shit with my mum on the phone the other day. Been health problems here and there and they needed to go in to the surgery at one point. Pretty hard getting to go in to a surgery these days in Bongistan as you HAVE to fill out ze forms first. Ihre papiere bitte. Oh and only in electronic form. But they made it.

Once there, she told me, there was a new sign above the receptionists desk, well two, actually, but we'll deal with this one first. It said, in BOLD CAPITALS.

WE DO NOT TOLERATE ANY KIND OF FUCKING ABUSE FROM YOU CUNTS AND WE WILL GET YOU SWATTED IF YOU GIVE US ANY SHIT

Paraphrasing, and going from memory, but that is the gist.

What got my mum's goat was the fact that, in over 50 years of going to a doctor's surgery (keep in mind we are not London or A&E) she has never once seen any one ever abusing a doctor or receptionist. She cottoned that it was to do with the 'pandemic' and this was a new form of mind control. She was pissed off.

Oh, the other sign, not on the wall but on the desk, before I forget, said: NO MATTER HOW BAD YOU'RE DAY IS, BELIEVE ME IT WON'T BE AS BAD AS MINE WHEN I HAVE TO DEAL WITH FUCKERS LIKE YOU.

I paraphrase again. But the gist is there.

Now, mumsy is a boomer. A fucking annoying boomer. You know those boomers you heard all the shit about? That's my mum. Multiplied by 10000x. She makes boomers look good. She's a super boomer. A fucking right little cunt of a boomer (sorry mumsy, love ya really). And she is used to a diet of shit and giving that shit out to others when they don't want to accept the boomer shit diet.

But still, that rattled her cage.

She knew what the game was. Emotional blackmail.

Hubby had a potentially life threatening condition, not covid. Got fobbed off with having to phone '111' - 111 fobbed them off. Back to the surgery. Fuck ups. Doctor phones to say sorry. They play the game. It works for many. Most doctor's time is spent phoning up patients to say 'sorry' to those they couldn't fuck off. Cunts.

Can't PL too much more. But in the last few days, my opinion of doctors has reached rock bottom. Hers too. Our family has seen much tragedy. But this is not my blog.

Doctors who were good got pushed out. We're in the fucking rural country for fucks sake. It's not even Londonistan. But it's an old population. A pain in the arse population who are better off dead. As are all the mental cases with suicidal thoughts and ideation. Kill the fuckers off.

Anyway. I suppose what I'm trying to say is this:

All this shit is the modern equivalent of this crap -


Capture.PNG



I wonder how many of them have had cancer and late stage heart failure plus broken hips all in one go?

But still, no matter how bad you're day is, it won't be as bad as the shit that a doctor's receptionist has to go through.

It's time to start calling them out for the cunts that they are. We'll get to the fucking doctors next.

So there is that. Oooh, what else?

Oh yeah, there is now at least a couple of articles a day of people in Bongistan beating each other up over not just NOT wearing a mask, but actually wearing a fucking mask. In one incident, the girlfriend ended up beating the boyfriend up when he started beating other people up for wearing a mask. His rationale? The longer people wear masks, the longer this will go on. I can see his angle. But still, it was nice to see him getting a few clouts from his missus.

People are getting some serious kickings here. I won't bother to link or show the vids. I don't fucking care. But people are cracking.

Basically, if you go out in public and don't wear a mask, you stand a risk of being attacked. And if you go out in public and do wear a mask, you stand a risk of being attacked.

Man plans, Boris laughs...

I think if people were genuinely scared and that they saw this was something to be truly feared, then they would self-isolate. We've seen that already. But no one knows anyone who had this shit, and if they did, they were over it in a bit, and if they died, well, they were already on death's doorstep. The high street has just about been raped to death now. There is nothing left. Or there won't be in 6 months. In fact, this thing will ravage all those shops more than even the INTERNET/AMAZON did in 10 years. The Earthquake has popped off, but the Tsunami will only be felt when it reaches the shores from the epicentre.

We now have a mixture of people in society who believe WE'RE ALL GOING TO FUCKING DIE, combined with, NO ONE IS GOING TO FUCKING DIE EXCEPT THOSE TARGETED BY 5G TOWERS.

Some call it 'insanity'. I would not disagree.

So it looks like the whole country is being closed down bit by bit and no one will be allowed to leave their house by Xmas time. I hope not. My folks have come close to death and they won't be missing their last ever Xmas with their family because of some cunt with 'ambitions'. It may be our last Xmas together. There will be no stopping that. Good luck trying. And I don't even like my family. But fuck me, that's a decision for me to take. Lockdown or no lockdown.


That's another thing, why do they call it 'Lockdown'? - it's not the fucking Andromeda Strain or a fucking political uprising. Why not just call it 'quarantine'? Serious question. 'Lockdown' smacks of insincerity and conditioning and things to come. It's sinister.


---


Finally, and this is the big one, got a friend who has been referred for urgent scans, but can't get them, whether NHS or private. He has money. Can only get a Covid test. And it looks bad for him, almost like signs of cancer. Don't want to say too much more. I'm sure it's nothing coz he's a strong fucker with a very successful business. I know how cancer likes to take those people, especially, though. I hope he'll be alright.

Gonna be a lot of people who have no voice who are going to suffer needlessly because of this. Say a little prayer for them if you can.

Quarantine, as I'm sure you know - and it wouldn't shock me if you of all people did, you seem to know a lot of interesting things - is taken from the Italian, Quarantra, meaning forty days. It dates from when the Black Death was a thing, and ships wanting to dock had to wait 40 days before getting into port.

My point is, quarantine is a defined period of time. Lockdown is not. This shit isn't going anywhere any time soon. And I'm with you on the praying. Saw the Mormon Missionaries in town today, and stopped to chat. they asked if they could do anything for me, so I asked them to put in a word with "The fella upstairs" which made them chuckle. At least I managed to make someone smile today.

I'm not going to suggest or advocate for it, but I certainly wouldn't condemn it if some of those parents went on a murderous revenge rampage and killed some of the politicians and doctors (and one of their children each) responsible for instituting these rules which led to the newborn babies' deaths.
