| Comment | Correct me if I am wrong but I think you were the one who brought up needing to shut pubs in this thread?
I have been to 6 Degrees North and Oran Mor since the easing of the lockdown and they were both doing a fantastic job. Everything sanitized, masks on, one way systems, and detailed track and trace information taken. Obviously if folks aren't doing that they should be punished or lose their privilege to stay open.
The last 6 months will not have been for nothing even if there is another spike. We will have prepared ourselves, bought time, learned more and saved lives. It was entirely worth doing no matter what happens.
You are assuming this thing is pandemic and not in fact endemic but sadly that might well not be the case. Prepare for the distinct possibility that we may not actually eradicate this thing any time soon. It may be something we are still dealing with 5-10 years from now. Would you have us locked down until then? At some point there will have to come a point that we return to some degree of cautions normal and unfortunately that will likely be accompanied with new infections/deaths.
I think we have collectively made the best effort we can to give all of us our best shot. We will now need to focus on localised responses and shielding those most vulnerable. |
