    The most annoying thing about Boards is this self professed expertise in knowing exactly what others think.
    I have a word to describe this BS but I would get an infraction for using it.

    Awhhhh, diddums, you should be free to speak your mind... nobody will mind. ;)

    Great stuff. Very low positivity rate over last 24 hours. Should be a low number of cases announced today but who knows!

    Who knows? Was there any explanation for the discrepancy in yesterday's figure of 32 cases but only 24 positive tests?

    I don't care.

    Can people really not see the logic in the meal thing, or is this one of those jokes that’ll be overused so much it might get funny again?

    They won’t explain it. It’s a strange one to be honest.

    Probably end up with 15 denotifications in a few days - hard to trust any number at the moment being so low

    I can see the logic in the meal thing, but I also know it's nonsense. The government worried about house parties but yet are going to keep pubs closed? Where the hell do they think young people will go?. At least in a pub there is some chance of SD house party not a hope. Garda resources to tackle house parties lol.
    I have no interest in pubs but then again I'm older married so my social outlets are different than a 20 something.

    The food side was really an economic one and they felt the risk was minimal on account of the regulations. In your standard pub, behaviour is harder to predict and manage, plus it is seen as a very high risk arena. I agree on their potential to reduce the frequency of the house parties but there's all that mingling post-pub, especially in urban centres that will not be in line with SD. Rock and a hard place but the call was way too late for me.
