We won’t even be talking about this after another few weeks . Well maybe in the pub after a few pints buts that’s all .

And then he bumped his head and woke up!

Gemma O'Doherty, John Waters and the lads protesting down the Four Courts were not in charge of Ireland after all.

Ah I jest. It is a nice dream, but I just can't see it becoming a reality in a few weeks.

Maybe next year...

Again lucky you, my business is gone. I have elderly parents who are beyond lonely. A daughter I haven't seen in almost 2 months. Her boyfriend a young doctor who works in a hospital everyday. I can definitely see the bigger picture, I have kept my end of the deal 100%. After next weekend I'm done.

Everything you are complaining about would be worse if no restrictions had been put in place.

elderly people definitely need to be exposed to visitors who may be contagious without knowing it

I did say stay at a distance. I am not saying go up and hug and cough in there face. Also if you have it or think you have it you should not be out for anything but you know that already.

Why should't they? they surely know better than the CMO/experts in this field and they believe that vitamin D is a cure .

You probably think Trump and his UV light is the stuff of a madman.

But do you know for sure that you don't have it? you are gambling with your parents health at the end

Apologies, I wasn't trying to belittle anyone.

Go sit in their garden and if you've been locked down give them a hug as you don't have it.
Hugs will be allowed on the 5th.

You sure. I say social distancing will be with us for a long time yet.

The pubs will reopen this Summer. And they will be in demand. Life will return to normal when this bad flu season is over

if you think so, I wouldn't do that to my parents to be honest unless they needed my support for health, but to go over to their house just for a visit? silly

Not silly at all if it keeps there spirit up and stops them going crazy

Given that arrivals into the UK from Ireland go through the domestic channel, and not through passport control, I can see Ireland not being included in the UK quarantine rules. But there is no such separation of travellers in Dublin airport

I am not sure what approach the UK will adopt, but regarding Ireland, the biggest threat for a spike in C-19 IMO is exported cases, especially from the UK/NI.

I remember reading an article in Mars stating that Ireland had more imported cases of C-19 from the UK than any other country, Italy included.

We have done so well on many fronts, and the weekly tests are going to be ramped up to 100000 a week, which is quite remarkable for a country with a population of less than 5M, but there is a need to be careful with travelers from the Uk/NI as they are at a different stage of C-19.

What do people think is happening next weekend?? The virus just decides to go away on the 5th?!

Until the Winter Flu Season re emerges. OK. Combined with CV it will all be fantastic.

Yawn. Follow the procedures all good.

The postman could have it, the tesco delivery guy could have it....

It's quite clear, after reading some posts on this thread, that many anti restrictions lockdown brigade are:
- Not knowledgeable enough about C-19
- Sharing wrong/inaccurate information and advice
- Think that they are experts because they red 2 articles about Sweden and vitamin D
- Not aware of the definition of a lockdown :pac:

No-one in their right frame of mind want these restrictions to last longer than needed, but the quality of some posts/info shared in this thread is a joke.

If you had read the whole thread you would see I posted links to videos and articles of epidemiologists who gave opinions that differ from the 'official' line.

Also feel free to post scientific evidence related to social distancing, lockdowns etc. Abstracts will be fine if the studies are stuck behind a paywall.

It will burn itself out soon, I’m clinging to that hope rather than some madcap scientists injecting rats in a cage giving us a cure .

They also believe that if you have no symptoms you can't be contagious and that mild symptoms means nothing more than a flue LOL

Yep and the worse is that it's dangerous to share such information as it's completely misleading...some even believe firmly that it's not airborne :pac:.

Is there an agreed definition of what 'lockdown' means? Some posters are upset if we don't have soldiers keeping people indoors 24/7 at gunpoint.

Posted this in the travel thread, but thought I’d post here too, just in case.....

Hi all, I have a question for those who might have been following the news a little closer than me this weekend. If there has indeed been any update on this.....

Like many many Irish, I have family split across the islands. I have a mother, and her family, in England, and a father in Ireland. I have kids in Ireland and sisters and nieces in England. I am both an Irish and British citizen.

I am looking forward so much to being able to meet my English family again. But mandatory and enforced 14 day quarantine is being talked about now, for arrivals to both Ireland and the UK. Has anyone seen any chat this weekend (from knowledgable sources) about whether it will apply to travel within the Common Travel Area. If so, I can kiss goodbye to seeing my family in person for the foreseeable future.

Given that arrivals into the UK from Ireland go through the domestic channel, and not through passport control, I can see Ireland not being included in the UK quarantine rules. But there is no such separation of travellers in Dublin airport

From what I took of it and I was talking with my brother who the company he works for does business in the UK, it is anyone coming in to Britain

I'm actual surprised at the amount of mental cases on this thread. Nothing like a trip to boards to reduce your faith in humanity.

the funny thing is that the more the restrictions are not followed, the longer they'll stay

They are more than upset, some of them are having meltdowns if somebody jogs past them on the footpath.

I stay from them from the 6 feet then yes. If I see my father I say make sure I wipe down anything I touch also.

Slow, very slow reopenings of places like DIY, and construction.

Some places are putting plans in place to get staff back into offices, I know this. Presenteeism abounds in some places. But anyway.

I can't see much happening in social settings like pubs etc. and hairdressers. But I am only speculating, I could be wrong.

Am going doo lally, like many others. But will observe the rules to protect our family wherever they are. It's tough, but I don't want to see eejits breaking the rules and getting away with it either.
