Unfortunately it won't favour the elderly or those with underlying conditions. Once the health service can deal with the number of people who contact it then we are nearly there. I suspect middle of May when things start going back to some what normal with a lot of the restrictions been lifted.

The RO has gone from over 3 to 1ish last week, and is expected to reduce 3. ICU admissions are stable On top of that regarding testing the results were being held up due to lack of chemicals (buffer and reagent) to process the results We are now making the buffer and have secured a supply of 900000 samples of reagent Contact tracing is being ramped up Additional labs have started to come on stream I'm hoping all of the above are positive indications and that testing gets ramped up this week and the next so there is an eating of restrict IP ons on May 5 And I'm one of the people who will be working from home if they dont lift that

For example, it seems that Dublin, Wicklow, Kildare and Cork seem to be the worst affected, so any lock-down would last longer in those areas, with the gradual easing of measures everywhere else after May 5 as cases *hopefully* dwindle.

We should resist the illogical but tempting urge to say “these restrictions should be lifted because they are working really well.” That would only result in us going back into another lockdown again, which would be really hard to take. Let’s get the job done now.

If that is the case with this strain it means restrictions until vaccine is rolled out if the virus is to be contained as much as possible.

For restaurants it will be spacing restriction and for shop they may have to limit the amount in at 1 time. Those who can should still work from home and construction sites will have to have masks and gloves and cleaning orders

stephenjmcd wrote: » Middle of may might be a little early. The initial restrictions on some business might be lifted first week of may, hair dressers, cafes doing take outs etc. Give that 2 weeks to see where we're at, then more businesses get added into the services allowed to open. Hopefully by the start of June depending on where we're at you might see what would have been deemed non essential offices start to open. Depending then on how things are going end of June only then you might see hotels, restaurants & bars being allowed to open but with reduced capacity to start with. Concerts and sports events, july for small events under 1k, August maybe for those above that but with capacity still limited. That's all just a guess on my part but it's taking into account the very slow reopening that'll be done in stages followed by a review of the data after each stage to see if we can progress to the next set of reopenings
