To those organising the anti-lockdown gathering in Cork this weekend let me say this: I know how you feel.
We are all fed up with the lockdown and feel like going out into the street and screaming.
But the purpose of the lockdown is to limit the spread of the virus and the more successfully this is done, the sooner the lockdown can be gradually ended.
Now, if a large number of people come together, it will be impossible to maintain social distancing and if some of those present, without realising it, have the virus, they will inevitably spread it to others.
