Its the tone, the capitals etc. I find it somewhat aggressive and he's tweeted it twice this weekend

It is aggressive

Been a complete mess since that old man came back

It's what he does best though, he should be tweeting behind bars for that cervical cancer mess

Where is Sam McConkey's 5000 daily cases for Dublin by Halloween? That's right, nowhere. The fact that the media are keeping him on as a talking head speaks volumes. Level 3 is good enough, let us hundreds of thousands get back to work and achieve some semblance of a Christmas. We're stuck with this virus until a vaccine is market ready, like it or lump it.

A few weeks of level five will hopefully get the numbers down to a manageable level we can't stay at 1000 cases a day

They may have a state of emergency but they still have much less restrictions than here and the situation is much worse there.

Exactly! Read, and then think about, what you just posted.

I wonder if sporting bodies here should adopt the tactics which the NFL is using against teams who flout anti-Covid protocols in the states ?

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — The NFL has fined the Tennessee Titans $350,000 for violating protocols leading to the league’s first COVID-19 outbreak during the season, a person familiar with the discipline told The Associated Press.

The Titans had 24 people, including 13 players, test positive for COVID-19 between Sept. 24 and Oct. 11. The outbreak led the NFL to postpone two Tennessee games and the rescheduling of a game against Pittsburgh from Oct. 4 to Sunday and the second against Buffalo from Oct. 11 to Oct. 13.

The NFL and its players association sent officials, including infectious disease experts, to Nashville where they reviewed video and interviewed players, coaches and other personnel.

But the NFL found the Titans failed to wear masks at all times and were “insufficiently clear” to players about not meeting or working out once the facility closed.

It would be effective !

White house just publicly stated they are not going to control the pandemic.

No, he has taken on a new role and now he advises us all directly.

A few weeks with 1000 cases a day would change that

It needs to come down, we've probably not seen the effect of the rise in cases on the hospitals

All the people taking umbridge with "Tony Holohan's" tweet, do you really think he's there on a Sunday sending out tweets after having spent the last month convincing the government to shut down everything. He's 100% definitely at home spending time with his wife and daughters.

Did someone hack his twitter so? Happened to trump. PW was maga2020,

Wonder what Tony's was? L0ckd0wn4evr :pac:

Good to see less than 100 turnip-brained saddos turned up for the protest today.

Bunch of semi-evolved dimwits.

Just heard on the BBC news that Spain has declared a state of emergency, and that they anticipate it will go on until at least May.

I know it's a different country and it isn't exactly news that this is going to continue well into next year, but hearing things like that can be hard to take It really just feels like it'll never end. What if there isn't a vaccine for years and years, will we just be stuck in this cycle indefinitely?

I was there for 6 weeks in summer, parents are still there. Emergency where they are means a 12pm curfew, but you can still go to bars and restaurants, or the beach or whatever. Ireland's rules are draconian in comparison. But they have a world class healthcare system and ours is a joke.

Did you just make this up ? NPHET said nothing about testing . According to them it was safe to play . So your issue should be with them

Did you read about this. The GAA made a big show about having a rapid testing programme, but it is only done on request. Obviously given the risk of teams having to forfeit matches if they can't field a full squad, that creates an incentive to adopt a 'head in the sand' approach to covid 19. What makes it worse is that the amateur nature of GAA means any infected players are highly likely to spread it amongst the team, and then onto the wider local community. It's an absolute farce, and was obviously designed to pay lip service to safety rather than a genuine attempt at containing the spread of covid 19.

State of emergency is needed to implement restrictions. That’s all that is. Similar to our health Act 1947 where restrictions are time bound and need to be rolled over.

What fear? Wear a mask, wash your hands and keep your distance. It's very simple.

Yeah it's insane the number of people who just don't give a fúck about the 2metre thing anymore. We notice that in the local park. There was a time if people were approaching, everyone would kind of go single file ish and move to one side or the other of the path. Nobody cares now it seems.

And imagine the rules in the schools, you can only dream about 2 metres there.

Is there a lesson to be learn't here? They have much less restrictions and the situation is much worse there. Have you answered your own question?

Oh give over and to all the people who thanked the post, pathetic.

You know what I am saying, there is a happy level and Ireland has gone far too extreme on the restrictions.

We never even opened up fully in the summer. We didn't plan for an autumn wave.

We learnt nothing just the shut up shop knee jerk move.

Such a move is the easiest call anybody can make.

A tough job is coming up with a middle ground for a functioning social and economic life whilst keeping the virus level down.

We failed with this.

Far too extreme??? Laughable, always half cooked everything, so you get what you get. Extreme, not even close. This country is way too busy to discuss any excuse available in the universe.
