I must be missing something with the green list. The media and all the opposition parties are banging on about how confusing it is. Seems pretty clear cut to me - You shouldn't travel abroad anywhere, unless it's essential. But you will not have to isolate if you travel to countries currently on the green list, but that doesn't change the fact that you shouldn't travel abroad except for essential reasons, regardless of where you go. Is there another level of complexity that I'm not aware of.

The most confusing thing about it seems to be people talking about how confusing it is.

I think the fear is that everyone will book a holiday to the green list countries as they're "safe".

Fully agree, it's completely clear. Don't travel if you don't need to. If you do need to travel, then no quarantine needed if you're coming from a green list country.

My point is why is he saying "many many many many years" jesus, it's like he's enjoying it - just say "many years" or "years" and the polio comparison is just ridiculous.

My point is it says "Many" just twice, perhaps for cautious emphasis rather than pure enjoyment.

I don't agree with the guy on his levels of pessimism, but why is it that those who are overly-negative are assumed to enjoy it, whereas those who are overly-positive are assumed to have their head in the sand?

It's made this thread pretty frustrating with jabs from both sides

My son came home from his job in retail today with a raging temperature and aches all over. He's barely able to walk! We live in South Dublin. He's due to be tested tomorrow. In Wicklow! A good 45 minutes drive away! Should he drive himself while in no fit state to drive? Get a taxi? A bus? Any ideas?

Public transport ftw

Who was that TD on Newstalk earlier wanting mandatory quarantine in hotels for all arrivals into the country? It was crazy talk at this time.....she’s maybe 3 months too late

More mud slinging by HIQA, but not really unexpected data at all.

Half of nursing homes inspected by the Health Information and Quality Authority after Covid-19 outbreaks were not following proper infection prevention and control measures.

Such a disappointing rise. I was hoping the rise over the past week or two with some daily cases in the 30s, was going to be a once off. The worry remains when numbers increase more and more like into the 40s and 50s.

She's ridiculous. Yesterday you could see her disappointment as she read out 6 cases.

Seven day average stays at 20 cases per day.

(36 + 6) / 2 = 21.

Wad expecting in the 30's tbh. Keeps us in trend with recent figures due to yesterday's 6.

An Irish person has died after contracting the virus abroad and returning home. Just the sixth of such deaths to happen.

What don't they give the ages of people and cases like this? The person travelled from abroad so I presume young-ish enough.
