Relaxation of restrictions

Red Alert

Simon Harris curiously made a comment that there was a limit to how long people could put up with extreme level of restrictions as we currently have. Already we’re seeing in Italy that people are starting to get restless. So two big questions:

1) on Easter Sunday, do you think there will be further restrictions, no change with just an extension or some relaxation?

2) what will be the first thing rolled back?

My own guess would be: extension for at least 1 week. Then to allow some businesses like DIY shops to reopen, perhaps allow gatherings of 2/3 people, maybe a token increase on 2km.

You've obviously never been to the Galway Races if you think it's the kind of environment where social distancing is possible.

You're also loolah if you think we're going to go from almost 10,000 cases (confirmed) to zero in the next three months.

I don`t know why you are wasting your time responding to that particular poster. He/she is a windup merchant.

Im just saying what medical experts are saying - but a lot easier to control a classroom of students (especially 6th years doing the leaving) that a crowded half drunk pub I would think.

Hence reduce capacity.

What you said was if there are zero cases in June, why shouldn't it go ahead. Its not the Houdini Virus I gather.

It is not going to happen. Any sports events that do go ahead will most likely be behind closed doors, if any relaxation measures were announced.

Judging by your previous responses you are either not that clever or are seeking attention.

There is also thousands of articles saying it will be developed in 12 to 18 months. Are you just going ignore them.

If you reduced capacity by 80% it would still be far too many people. What are you not getting about this. Is it really that big a deal that there's no Galway Races this year in the context of everything else?

Most people I know who have a wedding of 200 people planned for this summer are frantically rescheduling, never mind tens of thousands.

Reduce capacity so people can keep their distances.

If there are no cases then no need to keep them closed if schools, colleges, creches, gyms, swimming pools etc. are open.

Social distancing at the Galway Races. Bring a hurley and put your stake on the end of it for the bookie. Drink pints with a long straw

Your just trolling now if you think we'll have no cases. Maybe if we replace Varadkar with the North Korean leader it's possible

No chance.

Any semblance of normality will not involve mass crowds for a start. You shouldn't need to be told that.

Hence reduce capacity.

I would expect pubs to be the last to open , no reason schools should not open before pubs, ther are many that think schools should open soon, as children are not badly effected and it is a source of childcare for needed health care workers -

Pubs like nightclubs/concerts are probably the hardest places to practice safe social distancing, so I would expect them to be last to open, and they are not really an essentiality like education and food.

Can't see pubs opening this side of Xmas. In fact I'd say they'd be in the boat as concerts/large sports events etc... and be very last to go back to normality.

This thing called the Corona Virus, have you not heard about it?

It has different names it's also known as Covid 19. Donald Trump calls it the Chinese Flu cos it started in ChiNa...Chi...NA.

Over 130,000 people attended Ballybrit for the Galway Races last year. That doesn't include people who just went to Galway for the sesh and didn't head out to the racecourse. There's absolutely no chance we'll be having gatherings of that size in the next 3-4 months.

Even when pubs do reopen it'll be limited capacity and reduced hours

Almost impossible to do social distancing in a pub. I've actually heard that alcohol hinders people's decision making faculties.

Not for me. I make better decisions with each pint. God I miss pints.
