You're very optimistic, swinging as we remember it won't take place until at least there is a reliable vaccine in place so perhaps 2-3 years.
The only swinging we'll be doing will be with very special and trusted friends, absolutely no 'new friends' |

If you think most people will wait that long you are so wrong. Way to many have had meets and dates with many others while this was happening |

People need to realise it was safer to meet people 3/4 weeks ago than it is today. Only because people are getting fatigued are they now thinking about coming out of lockdown there’s no medical evidence it will be safe until there’s a vaccine! Also people saying only meeting old friends, that’s about as stupid as you can get ANYBODY can contract it, old friends new friends ANYBODY. |

it will boil down to personal choice at the end of the day. Some people will wait for a while and see how things play out, others will jump straight in when the lockdown is over, others have been meeting all the way through. |

Given that no coronavirus has ever had a successful vaccine developed and approved, it's most likely we will have to learn to live with it. After all,it's only in the last couple of generations (and only in the developed world) that we created an expectation of every contagious disease being either curable or controlled by vaccination.
We are social animals, social and physical contact with other people is crucial to our wellbeing, expecting people to not have sex until (if ever) there is a vaccine widely available is just unrealistic. Everyone makes their own choices and has to accept the possibility of consequences. That's life. |

It won’t make any difference. I came across three female profiles last night that had been verified Friday, Saturday and Monday. These are women that are here over a year on their profile, so the bullshit that they are new and here before can’t be pulled now. Cute too that they have hidden the verifications but it still shows up that they’ve had a recent meet. Personal choice if they wanted to meet while restrictions were in place but I’ve just added them to my block list along with the rest of the fucking dirt that were seeking meets or were verified in the last two months. If they are prepared to risk their health with something like this, there’s a good chance they are taking other risks too. |

There won't be one single day that we will all get up and say..today's the day..it's up to everyone to make their own call as to when they are ready to start meeting. A vaccine is at minimum 12 months out..then it has to be distributed around the globe, administered and given time to act so if thats the bench mark you're looking at 12 to 14 months minimum. |

Meeting friends isn't as stupid as you try to make it out. Depending where you live, what you do, your hygiene standards, your attitude towards others etc. can put you at higher risk or lower risk of contracting it. So the better you know someone the better you can make such 'risk assessment'. |

"The idea that you can trust someone not to have coronavirus is just silly. "
Agree.
But who would you trust more when it comes to adhering consequently to covid-19 rules in order to reduce risk of contracting/spreading it? A friend you know well or a stranger? |

I was verified by meet last night. But that was by a friend who had returned to the site and needed to be verified. He made it clear it was a pre Covid19 coffee but Fab has turned off the publish button so it now looks I had a recent meet. |

No one, to be honest, I know of perfectly sensible people who think it's fine to pressure a hairdresser to call to their house,my neighbour who is a Garda definitely had some kind of gathering at his house one night a couple of weeks ago, lots of teens/young adults wandering around in groups or sitting chatting in cars, then going home to their middle-aged parents |

It doesn't matter if they're people you have seen regularly. Anyone can contract it, your very special friends could have been out doing their shopping and came into contact the same way as any person could. Your logic makes absolutely zero sense |

Right now, he's living 30 miles away so not much chance ...but
possibly not, there have been couples where one but not the other has tested positive. But it's difficult to imagine they were in any way intimate. |

August/September I would think.
The least vulnerable will have had more than their share of social distancing by then and will just go for it.
People are already taking the absolute piss out there. |

Exactly. If you know the person well and their habits. Know they are WFH and isolating, know that they are responsible when leaving the house, and can trust that they would admit if they were experiencing symptoms etc, then you will know that the risk is lower then a randomer.
I'm not saying it's a great idea to meet someone just because you trust them, but I can see the point of the argument. |

You're missing the point. I know that, sure everyone who gets it is assymptomatic for at least a few days. That's not the point.
The point is, Covid in 'never' going to be irradiated! There are far too many anti-vaxers and immune impaired people. And even if you get a vaccine, there is a chance that your body just doesnt take it.
Eventually people are going to start meeting again. And you're better off meeting people who you know have been doing their best to isolate, rather than meeting a stranger that you know nothing about, except the fact that they ride strangers on the internet. |

If experts believe it’s unsafe to lift restrictions and recommend so; it’s crazy that people will complain. If CMO knows it’s dangerous and says nothing and more people die; what will the public think & say then?
I for one am happy to live a different life for a year or more if it keeps me and my loved ones safe |

You are most probably in a minority there. Unfortunately it's not as simple as locking people up for their own good. Financial ruin and mental health issues aren't going to be good for anyone either. |

I wouldnt be surprised. Reports today from Department of Justice has said that more than a third of passengers arriving into Dublin are not giving quarantine plans. They are talking about hundreds of passengers over a 6 day period. |

Yes,it's farcical that those living here can be fined for going too far from home,yet people are allowed into the country daily with no control whatsoever |

If it wasnt so serious it would be funny. Its one thing letting flights in. People working or Irish people coming home but to not force them to self isolate beggers belief. Especially when they have paid god knows how much to city west till the end of the year. It has not been used once. If they had got a grip at the start we would be looking at coming out of lockdown now not looking at another 11 weeks. At best. |

And 8 weeks ago we were scouring the country for people returned from skiing holidays. Like the other major gaffs this too will contribute to the ongoing spread in the community.
The correct protocol is not rocket science, but like a lot of the controls in this country the system is more engaged with products or services created domestically and very little regard to what is imported into the country be it products or people. So box ticking those kept to 5km and controlling us is not the complete solution to reducing the spread of this disease. I don't believe that the testing it tracing will ever be a close to what our more efficient European neighbours can attain but we're dealing with a beaurocracy that couldn't run a bath.
When most of us can see the faukts in the system how can we expect them to manage it properly. New cases and new clusters are appearing in nursing home daily. They cannot be trusted to fix this. It will run its course.

I don't understand why peeps regard Holohan as a hero in the first place. For reading out the daily death and infection figures without context while covering up their failures? |

When most of us can see the faukts in the system how can we expect them to manage it properly. New cases and new clusters are appearing in nursing home daily. They cannot be trusted to fix this. It will run its course.

Well said. They cannot be trusted to fix this. Could be here all day naming the bad decisions that have been made but to KEEP making them.  And they can talk about all the testing they want but when u cant get the results back for days whats the point. They have improved in that regard but its still taking days from start to finish in alot of cases. Which makes contact tracing impossible. Which was the whole point of supposedly following the South Korea model. They are some spoofers. |

it depends what you mean by safe OP....
Social distancing will more than be advised until there is a vaccine so early 2021 at the earliest probably...
Safe could be considered when there is hospital capacity for you should you or a contact get it.. that will be in waves avoid flu season for the ride
Most people will adjust and start to normalise and rationalise breaking the social distancing guidelines at their own rate.
It won't be too long until it is the cultural norm again IMO unless your in a vulnerable group, work with them or have a loved one in one. |

"I see Tony Holohan is already making shapes to deny us the lifting of restrictions planned for 18th May, he will shortly be going from hero to zero in public opinion.
I wouldnt be surprised. Reports today from Department of Justice has said that more than a third of passengers arriving into Dublin are not giving quarantine plans. They are talking about hundreds of passengers over a 6 day period.
Yes,it's farcical that those living here can be fined for going too far from home,yet people are allowed into the country daily with no control whatsoever
I don't understand why peeps regard Holohan as a hero in the first place. For reading out the daily death and infection figures without context while covering up their failures? "
Its the natural inclination of bewildered population feeling under threat to look for a "saviour". |

"People have gone way off topic here, he asked when do you think people will meet, not how good a job is holohan et al are doing"
The OP asked when do you think it will be safe to meet, not when people will meet. |

I think as mr Holohan is the spokesperson for the medical/scientific findings, so people look to him for advice as to how to proceed. So can see how both connected? Many will follow the guidelines as suggested. Others have from day one chosen not to and hence will do what they want regardless, which includes meeting people for casual sex |

"It won’t make any difference. I came across three female profiles last night that had been verified Friday, Saturday and Monday. These are women that are here over a year on their profile, so the bullshit that they are new and here before can’t be pulled now. Cute too that they have hidden the verifications but it still shows up that they’ve had a recent meet. Personal choice if they wanted to meet while restrictions were in place but I’ve just added them to my block list along with the rest of the fucking dirt that were seeking meets or were verified in the last two months. If they are prepared to risk their health with something like this, there’s a good chance they are taking other risks too."
They could be receiving older verifications from pre lock down meets. Fab won't allow new veris to be shown at the moment, the profile has no control over that. |

We live in a risk averse society. Life would be very boring if there was no risk taking, sometimes you just do a good risk assessment, accept you can't control every possible thing that might happen, and take a chance. And take responsibility for your actions. If you become infected, you may spread Covid, but also if you've been on hols in a tropical country you have unknowingly been exposed to many tropical diseases, but we take the risk. Calculate the risk, then make your decision. |

I verified a couple yesterday that have returned here after a break. Fab does not allow this veri to be displayed on their profile but it shows up that they were verified on their profile. So your post if pure rubbish and you are blocking people for no reason. |

Agree to a point. Think if u take calculated risks with urself that’s ur choice but must then be prepared to safeguard any vulnerable people in ur life. Meet up if u wish but please don’t then insist on still visiting ur at risk friends/relatives. |

I think people are too invested in Fab.
There are people who speak off this site through whatsapp or kik with connections they've made here or elsewhere in life.
You could have someone here saying they're not meeting but have their regular fuck buddy pop over on the weekend.
Don't assume peoples lives are as they appear on Fab. |

I was verified by meet last night. But that was by a friend who had returned to the site and needed to be verified. He made it clear it was a pre Covid19 coffee but Fab has turned off the publish button so it now looks I had a recent meet.
I think you need to be spanked for that!
I wish I will be spanking myself for the considerable future "

Now that's a brilliant piece...fair play ..l would agree strongly with your point of view ..l certainly think that even though they might be giving the " not meeting " message here ..it only means they're not " meeting new " and they are still meeting their regular FB's but aren't gonna say that here ... |

When lockdown restriction ease. People will start taking calculated risks, like going for a haircut, going to the pub, or arranging a meet..
Fab have been strong in support of the lockdown, but they are a business like any other, and their revenue has undoubtedly fallen, the meet page will be back sooner than you might think |

Today I am getting messages looking to meet up today as I verified a friend that had returned to Fab yesterday. Fab blocking the publish button now means it appears I had a recent meet. |

Honestly , the suicide rate is gonna go up Massively. Lost business, relationships strained etc.
I think the approach to it wasn't ideal. In any sense. I think the way we counted cases was so half arsed.
Those with underlying conditions should definitely be quarantined. But I would of left it to personal responsibility , similar approach to Sweden and they're doing great. The death of healthy people who contract Corona is less than 0.2% which is less than the flue.
Also, the number of deaths this time last year was less (Ireland).
Though all that said, I'm staying inside. I'm not an expert in this. And I trust they're doing the right job. I feel like when we look back we'll slap our wrists at our stupidity.
I'd rather we over estimate this then under estimate it. For now, there's little we know. Just gotta stop eating at each others necks |

Humans are human, there's people with, respect, drive, vulnerability, people will do, at the end of the day, what they do. All we can do, is in our control, so would you, wouldn't you, each and everyone to their own. Actually, tis a bit of a ridiculous topic at this stage. And quite boring. |

Is the date rate for the year really lower than last year?
Have you a link to that?

That's the link to the CSO. Click on this and last year. Almost a thousand less
But if we eased to early it could easily jump . |

 go me. I say that too because I would choose one of the two couples I've met away from this site before I would choose anyone on here.
I prefer familiarity and comfort so making a new connection is very difficult for me and requires real effort. And I'm picky.
But anyone could have sex tomorrow and no one here would be any the wiser unless they're on fab and also decide to verify you. |

Also one is a friend for many many years so there's 100% trust between us. Friends before sex came into it. |

"You're very optimistic, swinging as we remember it won't take place until at least there is a reliable vaccine in place so perhaps 2-3 years.
The only swinging we'll be doing will be with very special and trusted friends, absolutely no 'new friends' "
A vaccine does not take 2-3 years to make and mass produce. I've heard a few people say this and its just wrong. It'll take anywhere from year to 18 months. The virus is not as complicated as some might think. |

It could be useful if you got a certificate with the results of an anti body test whenever they start doing them here. Of course they have yet to prove definitively that you can't get it second time

Well you are wrong because on one of the women’s profile it says verified by x people newest Monday x men by x meets. That’s what it says on her profile. Not by webcam or anything else. |

Sweden are not doing great! Their leaders have admitted that they made a huge mistake as death toll is multiple times larger than similar countries and deaths include young children.
Do people not realise that there has been countless pandemics and endemics in the past, and without a vaccine, the only thing that ever worked at reducing deaths is social distancing, isolation, and do it as early as possible. Why do people think that this time would be any different? |
