Our economy is destroyed from 2 years of lockdowns. And the Ukraine situation has compounded what is already a catastrophe.
Whatever we do, we won't be going back to lockdowns.
Protecting the elderly and vulnerable as best we can is where the focus needs to be.
Because our economy takes precedence over our health.
Lockdown was a global event, not just in Ireland.
The economy is recovering.
Ukraine is a different matter - that's a question of what outcome the rest of the world is prepared to require Ukraine to accept at this stage - that or Putin mistakenly gives NATO a reason to get involved.
Best way to avoid future lockdowns is to ensure minimum spread. If mask wearing again does that - you get your recovering economy and less people will get sick - win win.
