Do people think the government are making this up ? Do they think the virus was going to magically disappear after 1st lockdown ?

It's not going to disappear no matter what we do, but it's far more manageable now, based on the figures coming out of every European country.
Infection levels and deaths are minuscule now compared to March.
We'll keep doing our bit, but vilifying people who are enjoying themselves is a step too far.

Some posters are calling for fines and jail time FFS.

There's no evidence that says Winter will be uncontrollable. Its Winter in the southern hemisphere now and they're not seeing runaway case figures, why would we?

I agree the calling for fines / jail time is going too far but at the same time scenes like this are not helping when people are trying to do whats best for the country.

The truth is there is a lot of unknown about this virus and as we know we dont have the best hospital set ups at the best of times.

Enjoing themselves? Is that what we're calling it now? ....I've said it already but i'll say it again, you can enjoy yourself without being an irresponsible arsehole

Climbing up phone boxes etc is not having fun, it's being a gob****e. Doing it in a pandemic, is being an even bigger gob****e

Letting them "enjoy themselves" means that this whole charade is made longer for everyone. Society turning on those clowns is not vilification, it's society saying to them, "you know what, grow up. This behaviour is not acceptable in the current situation" ...

Go to the pub, have a drink, chat with your friends, no problem going out and socialising ... but that behaviour is just not acceptable with everything going on

Why does every other government in europe not think the same as us with regards opening of pubs, are every other government not thinking of the winter months as well.

is it just the climbing on the phonebox that you are so enraged about ?

You do realise you are 'still at risk' by even just going to the pub , having a drink etc etc ….

If you are that paranoid and hysterical about it …

So far (according to the HSE) there has been 1777 COVID RELATED deaths (not the same as dying DUE TO covid)

29,000 people have been infected/tested positive for covid 19.

relax people.

I wasn't going to say anything, but I really can't let this go.

This really is an incredibly hurtful and insensitive thing to post about those who have died, and for their families to read.

I can assure you, my Mother's death certificate does not say her death was "covid related". It says cause of death, Covid19.

The HSE SCOPI research also estimates that the number of infected is more than double that figure. Which means the chances of an at risk person coming into contact with an infected person is much higher.

But sure, once the pubs are open, I guess you think its fine.

We did our bit when the virus was out of control. It’s in control now and feck all deaths any more. People should be allowed to enjoy themselves after being on lockdown all summer. The disease is here to stay. If people get outraged at every social gathering that occurs from now until a vaccine, sales of blood pressure medication will be through the roof.

We locked down to flatten the curve, not eradicate the virus.

The issue is the curve can unflatten again very quickly

And it can get out of control again in a heart beat which is why many don’t want the schools opening it as it could be serious petrol on the fire.

We are already too open as we are imo and should be holding things much tighter. People sicken me their whole “people should be allowed enjoy themselves” why? Keeping the virus at bay is more important, it’s like staying at home is hard, it’s not it’s easy. Look at all the people who found the lockdown a very positive experience (id count myself in that camp). It has accelerated the move to work from home which is a massive advantage for the majority and people were very happy working away during the lockdown, no commute, no having to go places just spend time at home, relax, time with family, bbq and beer in the lovely weather etc etc.

Why would you say we’re already too open when we’ve gone 8 days without a death, ICU cases have been static hovering around 5 patients, and we’ve barely gone over 30 hospitalisations. How many phases would you like to see us go back?

Too open? We are one of the most restricted countries in Europe still.
Staying at home isn't easy for young people, or do you forget what is was like to be young?

A positive experience? Not for me anyway, its not something I ever want to experience again. Going out meeting friends, going to the gym, going shopping. All things I missed. What if you can't work from home? Or your business was shut?
There was nothing positive about the lockdown.

Lockdown suits people, like they said. It doesn’t effect them so to hell with everyone else. It’s selfish, the same type of selfishness they accuse others of having when they want to go out.

The real answer is that I would have done the whole opening up very differently so by now we may even be more open than we are now if the virus was all but supressed. I would have maintained the hard 2km lockdown for much longer, at least another month and then assess the numbers but likely even longer this coupled with closing airports and ports at the very start of the lockdown and maintaining it indefinitely. Doing this I would expect us to be having days without a single case by now not over 100 many days as we are. Opening up the country even more than it is but keeping airports closed would be a very real possibility using the plan I outlined above. Shorter harder lockdowns are much better than prolonged half hearted ones.

Having let the horse bolt as we have and in an attempt to recover things I would close all restaurants and other social things again, schools would remain closed and stronger rules to stop public gatherings. I would close hotels to stop people staycationing and spreading virus around and introduce large fines for people in holding or attending house parties etc.

There are a lot of people who found it positive, there is another thread started asking how are people dealing with the "boredom" but you will see many of the responses are in fact commenting on how the whole thing was a positive period for them and their family.

So in essence. You would keep the country in lock down until we have a vaccine or effective treatment.

I'm sorry, that approach is just crazy. Its economic suicide. And yes, I know that sounds cold but we need a functioning economy to fund the Health System.

By the way I don't disagree with some of your points. I believe the days of everyone having to be in the office 5 days a week is over and that's not a bad thing.

But there needs to be a balanced approach. We can't expect people just to sit in there houses until this passes

.................

Such a strategy isn't at all workable.
Even with a vaccine we shall be social distancing and wearing masks until it's rolled out across the country.

Treatments will likely be beneficial to those who are quite ill and in hospital so we won't just all go back to normal when there's a treatment either IMO as the hospitals won't have capacity.

We are going to have to potter on much as we are and hopefully folk will continue to play their part in reducing the spread.

We are doing very well it has to be said, far from perfect no doubt.

Richard Hillman

The curve was never flattened. It just spiked despite lockdown. The 2nd waves are from countries that tried to suppress the virus by shuting the borders,and they are getting for what their waves should have been.

Spain is a bit of an outlier. Although they went on a very extreme lockdown with the virus rampant in certain regions. Then when they opened up, the other regions got it. There are very little hospitalisations in places like Madrid.

It's over folks. It has weakened. Herd immunity doesn't just happen when it reaches a certain percentage. It's a gradual thing. We are at the stage where people are not dieing anymore but will feel unwell.

If this is true, and I hope it is, what an amazing job the Irish Govt. have done in keeping us safe and protecting the vulnerable from this.

It would be great if we could get back to normal soon, but not too soon of course. Nobody wants more people to die due to this.

You’ve been unlucky then.
I went to a very well known gastropub in Cork city centre last week and my group were handed the bill exactly after 105 minutes.
Suppose it’s these more rural pubs that aren’t enforcing the rules.

105 minutes does not apply if 2m social distancing can be maintained. In my local it can so I can sit and have dinner and beers all night

Hardly anyone putting pressure on them about the continuing outbreaks in meat factories.
Hardly anyone questioning why we didn't do more to keep Covid out of the one place were it is very dangerous - Nursing homes
Hardly anyone pressing them about flights coming in from the US and the fact it is almost optional to isolate.

Instead people are focusing on house parties and recording some teenagers causing trouble.

If only we bothered focusing on the areas actually causing issues.

Both the nursing homes and meat factories are being better managed now with more specific testing in place. Only 2% of cases are related to travel, yet people seem to have a bizarre focus on this. The biggest source of infection is close contacts, which is something that can be managed once identified.

However, the one transmission cause that we seem to be unable to manage, is community transmission. This is the third of cases that not only precede the close contacts but also is the factor that's going to keep the disease spreading.

When you see the scenes in Berlin D2 or Killarney at the weekend, it's not suprising to know that the average range of cases is dropping lower.

In those type pubs it makes sense to turn the table fast if they have demand. 80-90 percent of the spend will occur in that 100 minutes. After that it’s lower margin drinks.

Was in a restaurant/ pub recently. Private family do less than 20 of us in our own room. Had to swallow a 3 course meal in 90 minutes or whatever. There were 2 pints ordered between everyone all others soft drinks and then out with us. Horrible experience, came out with heartburn, no comfort and not a nice experience for the money spent. Won’t be going again, much rather a take away and bottle of wine at home.

I remember when Emmet stagg was ****ing a rentboy in the phoenix park, I normally wouldn't but because someone in power did it, I felt obligated to do it.

I agree people who make laws should abide by them, and they should be vilified for not doing so, but to give the populous such little respect to say they are of a "monkey see, monkey do" mentality is depressing if it wasn't so demonstrably true.

Valeofhoney

Pub in clonmel walk in only close doors around 6.30 usually and say they are full. Birthday party yesterday started at 3 pm doors closed at 6 but opened to people that didn't knock but whoever on the inside knew they were just about outside.online pics showed a great party packed tables dancing and toasting shots while hugging. No facemasks all shouting and singing. Still going on at 11.30. Same pub the week before had a lock in and people out the back after 1am. Most pubs allow walk in and bookings it's the ones that are walk in only to watch for. Just take a deposit for bookings if you are following rules

Can have a good meal, wine and beer with the family at home for a percentage of the price.

No I didn't say that, but lads out with cameras recording young people so the twitter and FB mob can hate on them doesn't sit well with me when we had Ministers, judges and TDs all ignoring the rules and yet we didn't see videos of them all over twitter and FB.

6 of us, 3 couples, out for the night for dinner and a rake of pints. It was great craic. It’s different, sure, sitting and getting table service but if the 105 minutes can be avoided it’s still a good night out

IIRC a member of cabinet not members was there. He was told resign or be fired. The next most senior person, Hogan, was forced out of his commisioner role. All three parties condemned it. Compare that to the senior figure in the UK who broke the rules and wouldn't even apologise never mind resign from his position. (Yes not a member of cabinet but very senior role as their set up is differant).

Pub 1 - chicken wings
Pub 2 - burger
Pub 3 - Pizza
Pub 4 - toasted special
Pub 5 - chicken curry
Pub 6 - club sandwich
Pub 7 - sausages and chips
Pub 8 - scampi and chips
Pub 9 - spaghetti bolognese
Pub 10 - sausages and mash
Pub 11 - cottage pie
Pub 12 - Turkey, Ham, Stuffing, roast and mash potatoes, carrots, sprouts and gravy.

I reckon I would have to start the 12 pubs on 1 November.
