I work with a guy from Greenland, I'd guess he'll be happy about the list. Not sure how many others will be.

Might head to Finland myself, since Ireland is on their green list, so no mandatory quarantine at either end of the journey.

I assume that is the case for all 15 in fact?

Mad to think this all started in China with it so quiet over there now, never on the news really. Just 0.75% of global deaths are in China, pretty crazy

Poland is a gem of a country that would dwarf many on that potential 'green list' saddly that means no travel for me, would rather stay in me garden than visit some of them places, no offense.

Shows you how ridiculous us having these travel restrictions or recommendations are..

Would love to be in Benalmadena right now supping some 2 euro pints in the sun

Anyone who is giving out about not being able to go to the pub or to Torremolinos or do whatever should give 3 minutes to watch the video at that link of how Elaine is having to cope right now. She had to even get her terrible diagnosis completely alone in A & E and has not been able to have a hug from her husband or children. No one goes into her room except where medically absolutely necessary. It would break your heart what she has to endure.

Cork Airport has flights to Bergamo (Milan), Naples, Malta and Budapest. 4 airports in countries on the Green List.

Interesting to see if loads increase on these flights.

You would be absolutely mad to fly to Bergamo at the moment. It’s still the place where the majority of cases are occurring.

A doctor in ICU since April passed away overnight.

Ireland is being the most restrictive in the whole of Europe - every other country is getting on with it and doing local clampdowns where it rises up again

Europe is moving on, Ireland is stuck in the mud - even the UK which is still in a worse situation than us hasn't ground to an halt
ICU figures are single digits while people wait for operations, screenings etc

It's all becoming BS at this stage

I seriously think it is just MM trying to emanate some aura of authority over the country

Its just a cautious approach. In time I think it will prove to be a good decision. Still only a few months dealing with this virus.

Not that many professions have to deal with rooms full of dirty little viral sacks, that be children (eating worms and the likes).

What about the doctors, the nurses, those working in homeless shelters, domestic violence refuges, direct provision centres, etc. who yes, can also be working with up to 30 children and more over the course of their workdays.
The Gardai, the supermarket workers, the carers, the tradesmen on sites and so many others, all working around large volumes of people
Professions don’t all consist of just office jobs!
There are many other professionals who deal with more than 30 different people in a day in less than ideal conditions.
Honestly I don’t mean to have a pop at teachers but it gets frustrating as some seem to think they’re the only ones who got the sh*t end of this stick

Classic whataboutism.

It really doesn't matter about a green list at the end of the day. People will do what they want to do at the end of they day.

People who have made up their minds and decided that travel is too risky and won't go anywhere, they won't travel.
People who have decided that they want to travel regardless of the virus and its risks, will go anyways.

You dont belive my mother had her blood oxygen checked before xmas??

Or that half country was sick/laid low before xmas?

Or that only 1 person in my parish tested positive for it.....very trumpian to dismiss out of hand info,whixh deosnt suit your worldview

The big clue is that folks before xmas weren't dying due to respiratory issues in the same volume and more importantly that the healthcare workers weren't getting infected by the flu related admissions like they are now with the covid patients...

Now - maybe there was a milder version of covid, that then mutated later - if this is the case its great news as there is a good chance that there will be a greater % of folks with immunity (maybe that explains why it doesn't affect everyone the same) - sorry for the crazy hypothesis at the end!

It seems viral load plays a huge role in whether you are asymptomatic.

Wow, this is big news. I wish some people would keep their germs to themselves. I haven't been to a shop since the masks were mandatory rule but before that there were some people behaving wrecklessly coughing and sneezing into the open.

So, a flight to Gibraltar, walk across the border onto the Costa Del Sol. But you can't fly to Spain?

Thats how borders work... (with the possible exception of N/S Korea - you might need to duck depending what direction your going).

Very sad news. May he rest in peace.

What's the point of a green list, go holidays so that you don't have to isolate when you come home... But then Americans don't have to isolate either.

Jimi H · 22-07-2020 08:18AM

Stephen Donnelly on Newstalk now. Have to say the communication has been very poor recently. The green list is confusing to the public and they need to get their act together.

The public is very easily confused if that’s the case. People roaring about being treated like children a few weeks ago and now roaring about how confusing the green list is.

The message is clear; don’t travel abroad. The green list is a sop to those who would be crying about living in a dictatorship and the rest.

Some people really love Americans. They'd even defend them coming here during a pandemic. This love for the States is out of control.

If a vaccine comes out ( which is looking more likely with each passing day)and we’re all saved i can’t wait to come back on this thread to see what the new moan will be about.

In that case, I cant wait to unsub from this forum and never read anything about coronavirus ever again.

Some people are not xenophobes. There are hardly any Americans entering Ireland at this time but the way your typical knuckle scraper goes on about them you’d think we were inundated.

alentejo · 22-07-2020 08:40AM

Folks say in Ireland. Simple as!

Regarding the "green" list, we are going to have to live with "Green-Orange-Red" list for some years.

Hopefully next year, all of Europe might be on a green list, so foreign travel within the EU might be possible!

PS, I think the media and political parties have made the most fuss about the "Green List!

KrustyUCC · 22-07-2020 08:41AM

Northern Ireland green list 58 countries

Ours 15

So much for an all island approach lol
