If it took three months to get to a lockdown type scenario the first time; given the fact the virus is now prevalent in communities across Europe while accepting the offset of better testing and contact tracing regimes - it seems reasonable to think about another three month period until the second wave gets going to a level that threatens healthcare infrastructure. So end of September / start of October in line with the start of flu season seems about right. Enjoy this period as much as you can.

In pockets of infection rather than widespread. People won’t stay a meter away in shops the hell they’ll self quarantine for 14 days after travelling.

Dont ever mention the famine again, Instead mention your greedy landlords who would evict if they wernt stopped and the outrageous rent prices Govt had to stop evictions. Mention your total abuse of foreign workers Mention the abuse teachers are getting bcos they wont put themselves at risk to baby sit kids. Mention Michael Oleary who would fly the virus all over the world if he hadnt been grounded, Mention meat workers and the abusive conditions they are forced to live in. Nurses who are facing another wave and risk of dying for **** wages.

This means with by the time the pubs open back up there should be little to none active cases, giving that it takes 2 weeks to recover and the spread stays slow. But if the airports open and people flock to Ireland or go on their holidays and don't follow the precautions it could be as soon as July that it will start again.
