I don't think the measures will be alarming, but affecting sporting spectators OUTDOORS will not be welcomed at all, however I can sort of see the logic behind it, getting there and back etc.

Move to Brazil Fintan, you might prefer the leadership.

Need a full reversal of lockdown easing. We need to early and hard against this resurgence. Ultra lockdown for 3 weeks then seal borders.

Can’t blame Leo. He’s not in charge anymore. The voting public put FF in the hotseat. Morons.

Laughable! What were fg doing different? Fg put ff in power, with their ridiculous **** performance for nearly a decade !

And then what? The virus is going nowhere. When we reopen there will be new cases.

Rinse and repeat until a vaccine is available which could be years.

How do you deal with the mass unemployment, supply chain problems and other economic problems your idea would cause?

Blame the people for their own f*** ups regarding the lack of scrutiny on the factories, DP centers and nursing homes - all of which had been warned about.

I know a 49 yr old who has spent the last 14 weeks in ICU ( and is still there ) and who will not return to work for at least 12 months who might disagree with you

How do you know he won't return to work for 12 months, if he is still in icu he has bigger problems than returning to work, why the **** would you even mention going back to work.

_Kaiser_

This acting CMO is clearly in a job that's too big for him.

Everything is an overreaction. Like a deer caught in headlights.

Whatever about the finer details, the actual communication and messaging from the government lately is absolutely atrocious, simply terrible in every respect.

It doesn't inspire any confidence whatsoever that they know what they are doing.

How exactly do you propose to seal the borders???

If everyone would make the effort to restrict their movements and reduce their contacts, and practice good hygiene, we'd be a lot nearer controlling this surge.

But everyone seems to think it doesn't apply to them.....

I feel Leo and his goof squad handled it better than what the current ones are doing

The amount of people that want to revert to a full LD. Jesus, it’s simply unreal.

Because he is single and going back to work is the only thing that is keeping him going.
Thats all he is interested in and thats his motivation every day.

Question time (now) always exposes that as they stumble their way through the answers and look to each other for support

It IS being made up as they go along. By an extremely conservative advisory group looking at it from one side alone, and weak politicians terrified of being caught on the wrong side of the decisions

And the CMO has just (unofficially) killed the hotel trade again.

We're not stopping you going, but we advise you not to.

Shambles.

And a demoralised and uninspired public that will widely flout these pointless restrictions.

+1 on this.

Question for the knowledgeable folk of this thread...
Have the indoor training numbers changed?did I hear him say only 6 ?
Am I right in thinking it was more??

_Kaiser_

It's patently clear that the drive to reopen schools is a political decision. It's the key to this government's first real commitment.

That's why it's being pushed so hard regardless of the disconnect with the situation or indeed their own recommendations

Going round in circles Heidi.

It is the only option that isn't relying on a lot of good luck

Saddest thing is there will probably be a spate of useless porous lockdown lites anyway that won't work.

Plan it, do it right and do it once, increase quality of life for everyone and set up the economy for a proper return to normality.

Why? The whole basis of the thread is about the timeline and delays around the moving forward to removing restrictions

LOK to find out their fate on Thursday per the CMO

But we are moving backwards at an awful rate.

Flatten the curve is finished, we are now flattening the curve of democracy
