    Even if people intend to observe the regulations after a slap of a few pints their judgement will tend to slip and what is to stop them from just ignoring the restrictions then?

    You will be at home anyway for the next 7 years with all the rice, pasta and toilet paper you panic bought, denying our front line heroes when they needed it so it is none of your business.

    There you go again Cork Boy,
    I have given you Multiple studies and articles to back up my points and yet all you can do is make insults and jibes.
    I have yet to see you read about any of the studies and give your opinion based on that, or indeed produce your own evidence.

    Do you have any evidence to back up your own thinking apart from what you are told by ICTIC Dr Holohan?

    I'm beginning to think that people like you have very limited intelligence.
    All you do is spout mantras.

    It's like the journal.ie comments, 2 months ago, lockdown now ffs, today after still a decline in cases and improvements, stricter lockdown ffs! The lack of reading past the headlines or thinking that this virus will dissapear the longer we do this is insane but this is the views of many who do no research beyond government headlines.

    Normal ain't happening any time soon, no one is asking for that, common sense and social distancing is the norm now and will be for a long time to come.

    I live on my own and cannot meet friends or have any contact with anyone which is affecting me mentally.

    Simon Harris stated at the start of this that you cannot lock people down for extended periods of time as people will crack and get complacent, but now the rhetoric has changed to behave yourself or 3 more weeks of detention.




    go visit your friends, if stopped, tell the guards you are going to the supermarket. fcuk what anyone else thinks, you do what is right for you.

    You shouldn't argue with that poster, he knows everything about this virus. He's been waffling around that this virus isn't air born because he read 2 articles online.
    He's constantly posting articles from the Guardian so to follow his trend https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2020/apr/24/coronavirus-detected-particles-air-pollution here is one where Coronavirus has been detected on particles of air pollution.

    Ok, Thanks for posting some actual articles.

    The first related to Iceland which (thanks to widespread testing) showed us for the first time that most carriers were asymptomatic. But bear in mind their total deaths are still only 6- that's less than 0.3% of those who have tested positive.

    The last 2 articles (on brief reading) are related to nursing homes where patients can pick up disease despite low viral load. I agree here and have been repeatedly calling out our government for the scandal that is allowing the disease into Nursing homes and turning a blind eye on that.

    I have no problem complying with the restrictions until 5th May, plan was to lockdown to get R0 below 1 it's now 0.5 or so and little community transmission. Being threatened with further lockdown because they have no plan other than stay in forever to avoid the virus which pis*es me off.

    Here's one that show that getting Vitamin D will protect you from the virus.
    So getting outside and getting sunshine actually reduces pressure on the hospitals.

    Ergo, common sense will tell you that staying indoors is the worst thing you can do.

    You might be lucky to have a big house and garden but a lot of people like me live in apartments so please don't make us feel like criminals for going outside for a walk.

    What decisions is Holohan making exactly? Bar his desire to keep the nursing homes open all I’ve seen are threats to extend the lockdown. That’s some decision making

    Whinging is not going to do any good. We live in a world where it has never been easier to contact people. You have already communicated with me once and don't even know me.
    If you did the same with your family and friends you might cheer up a bit?

    They were able to say that there is more movement of the public and showed some statistics given by Apple.

    Why are Apple sharing people's data with the government?
    Nobody seems to have noticed or been bothered by it

    My advise on this is everyone on apple devises is to go to your “settings” , hit “privacy” and block every single privacy invading icon , location services , find my phone etc etc. Let them eat static.

    Wrong and I quote the article: Vitamin D may be an important factor in determining the severity of COVID-19 infections, new research from the Irish Longitudinal Study on Ageing (TILDA) at Trinity College Dublin has found.

    I've been reading articles since february that link C-19 to vitamin D but they are inconclusive...I hope you understand the difference

    I reckoned at the last announcement that LEO would try gain some popularity by lifting some of the restrictions early in time for the Bank holiday weekend. Have no doubt, that would gain him and the party huge support.

    Now I’m not so sure he will.

    What do u mean? The so t sit at their table they are asked to leave? Same as a restaurant, I’m sure if you have to book a table at a bar the people who do this won’t be that common. Anyway just s suggestion in all likelihood rural areas will prob just open as normal and quiet bars before corona will be quiet after with no need for social distancing . It will come down to busier pubs which will have to be policed and forced shut again . They can’t blanket shut all pubs again , once they open this time then police them

    I wanna make this clear from the very beginning, I am not here to defend Holohan, having said that you are wrong when you paint him as a guy who made a decision about nursing homes only.
    He was involved in C-19 from the beginning and he made/participated into a lot of decision making.

    Here is a question for you, how many EU countries managed nursing homes better than Ireland??
