Life will be cancelled. Tony holahan is back causing havoc. Finish off destroying the economy. Let people die from easily treatable cancers because screening has stopped. Fcuking eejits have had six months to get ready for the second wave and the best they can do is drive the country into the ground.
All this is doing is creating wave after wave of covid.

International racing will still be on but bookies will be closed so I wont be doing any placepots. However I dont think we'll be level 5 this week that said I wouldnt be suprised if we are in lockdown this side of Christmas pending on ICU figures and death rates. Watched a bit of longchamps at the weekend and everyone seemed to be wearing masks. In general we need to wear more masks here, handswash, maintain more than 1m, good cough/spit/sneeze etiquette. Nobody is immune to the virus so at the end of the day whats for you wont go by you...

Those "headcases" are professional medical people who sole concern is saving lives.the people you should be calling headcases are the halfwits who flouted the recommendations/laws during the last 6 months putting lives at risk.nphet know more about the projections and lack of icu beds than anyone onna two bit site like boreds.ie. childish outbursts about horse racing(and other sports) being cancelled are irrelevant.the fact is,lockdowns save lives,and we wouldnt even be looking at a level 5 if those selfish idiots who ignored the earlier advice from the govt and nphet were adhered to

If you think Tony Holohan is a great man, that he is the expert of experts, you don't know enough about him and his NPHET cronies
Google Tony Holohan Vicky Phelan and educate yourselves
.
If they take us to level 5, and all that entails, whilst at a fraction of March levels, while leaving meat factories open, and you think this is acceptable?!

I asked the question from a racing perspective but it was subsequently taken elsewhere by others.
They want to destroy this country and our very sporting and social fabric and I am NOT OK with that, and I do not accept that makes me a bad person

You dont know enough yet(and neither do i) what is going on in the backround.there have obviously been some developments that have made them jump to a level 5 recommendation.do you think they are doing this just to be famous? Maybe just for the craic? Or maybe just to drive everyone nuts.you seem mostly upset at the fact that racing will be shut down and that is very naive.i genuinely hope you have no family or friends to fall to this virus,its a horrendous experience.as i said before,the real headcases are the fools that are totally ignoring medical advice and putting us all in danger

And elsewhere,you may have heard on the news just now that all gaa matches are cancelled(a decision taken by the gaa themselves) because of a lack of social distancing at games.this is just a small example,its happening in lots of different social situations.i am baffled that some people cant see that its no nphet bringing in level five,but people themselves.

If they keep the kids in schools it is fairly obvious what is going on.

This was last Thursday from NPHET

NPHET have further advised that Government extend the Level 2 measures currently in place for a further period of three weeks, with Donegal and Dublin remaining at Level 3. NPHET will continue to monitor this situation very closely.

https://www.thejournal.ie/new-household-visit-limits-but-no-county-level-increase-5220073-Oct2020/

So in 4 days they want to move counties in level 2 restrictions straight to a Level 5 full nationwide lockdown. Just doesn't make sense!

Its a prediction from the university of washington (they've done one for every country)......i wouldn't have much store in it either.....but youd have to laugh at people who think Dr Tony is evil incarnate for vicky phelan but then complain when he trys to protect people from covid

I'm in Galway for work this Friday (essential services), but should be finished by about 2PM.
Anyone recommend a pub I can have a decent lunch and watch the racing in please?

All socially distant and slathered in disinfectant n' that of course lads.

IAMAMORON

There will be no more then another 500- 1000 deaths at worst before it is over.

10,000 is scaremongering garbage. They know how to treat it now and they know how to deal with the more vulnerable patients.

If you are around Eyre square I like Kennedy's. Very welcome, townie crowd and 2 bookies outside.

If it is food you are after go for the Huntsman Inn out the old Dublin Road. Paddy Power next door and parking. They should throw it on for you in the bar.

You might be right....i don't think so and NPHET aren't going to sign off on a gamble either

you are right that treatments will continue to improve and some of the treatments in phasse 2 are very promising but we are a few months away yet.....and yes kids getting it will go some way towards a herd immunity effect

we have 2,000 deaths for a confirmed 2% prevalence rate so factor up and 10,000 is not scaremongering for widespread transmission in communities

Only a turn of phrase, don't take it personally.

But 10,000 will not be happening, no where near it.

They won't because they'll keep levels low until effective phase 2 treatments come online in spring

18 people in nursing home get it according to news today.....some of them will die.......if we went for the free for all approach this would repeat across the country it would be 1,000's dead clearly.

I'm not scaremongering or in love with lockdowns or anything but they'll keep it at low level to spring and we can go mental from about paddys day on

They'll wait for something like this to get positive phase 3 results.....why would they go with anything else given the state of our health system

This seems correct, more so with Uni students who can be stuffed in gated type HoRs, and do their learning online, these students then observed and a benchmark established for the D614G strain. (Saves 5-10k on paying them to perform a 28day clinical trial also).

You do have to pity some old teacher wan in the late 50's/early 60's awaiting retirement packages as toddlers have at worse a bit of a tickly cough.

In relation to HR & Bets, can anyone predict (partly on the back of covid) what is likely on the way within e.g. 5yrs for the average C1C2DE type Joe punter?
I can...

In his own words, "Tánaiste says NPHET recommendation 'not thought through'"

Kind of like the attempted cover up of the cervical screening disaster from Tony.

Leo fairly chucked Tony and NPHET under the bus last night on CBLive. Certainly will be tensions going forward between the 2

I am delighted he did. I get the impression that underneath Leo's cool exterior there is the heart of a lion. He loves a good scrap deep down, fair phucks to him.

Holohan should know his place.

Try Garvey's, they have a big smoking area, I am not sure if they are allowed open it though. The last time i was down was a few summers ago but they were showing the World cup in the evenings. Nice birds knocking around also.
