    Not looking good at all for Phase 4

    Not looking good for phase 3 even if we can't keep cases down. We'll be back down to phase 2 if this trend continues.

    I proposed that he should sit tight, remain part of the solution, and refrain from being part of the problem and possibly the cause of it.

    Whats that got to do with what I asked though.

    Wow. Terrible numbers today. We could very easily lose control of this thing at this rate.

    No we won't. Sustained 100 + a day is what they've said is the threshold to look at rolling back anything and even at that it wouldn't be a full rollback as per De Gascun recently

    In fairness, it's only mirroring what's happening elsewhere. Virtually nowhere in Europe has the new case numbers down to single figures.

    There's more to life than drinking alcohol.

    Precisely... use some of your covid payment, get in Netflix, a bit of fitness gear, iPad, learn to use it, walk, get a dartboard.... the pub isn’t life, be less of a narrow minded selfish grim fûcker and expand your hobbies.

    Our case numbers rn are very manageable. The only thing that actually matters is deaths and the number in hospital.

    Slovakia was held up as an example of shutting down and getting down to low figures. Opened up at 2 & 3 cases a day. Reported 45 today. No rollback of measures

    If pubs were allowed open it would put an end to house parties and allow people enjoy themselves in a controlled way

    Still >25% of daily cases are health care workers.
    Baffling at this stage IMO.
    By end of year nearly every health care workers could have had COVID.

    You asked what it had to do with flouting regulations, I stated that it is less important than the fact we have factories spreading infection.

    So we should have just said f*ck it and ignored the restrictions because the nursing homes were spreading infection before ......

    Pubs will need to stay closed. Too dangerous.

    The price of alcohol north and south will need to rise significantly too.

    Why would we roll back to phase 2?? These factories and construction sites where all the outbreaks have happened have been open since phase 1...in fact some probably never closed.
    Unless there are outbreaks associated with hairdressers and restaurants I haven't heard about.
    "We" won't be going back anywhere...you might see localised closures of businesses but not collectively. There is no country, in the EU anyways, doing national lockdowns anymore.

    Yea we will require lockdowns similar to those area's.The hope was that we could avoid that but this week has been a big blow. Too many cases now are community transmission and cannot be traced effectively. The talk about it just been clusters etc is not accurate. Its a case now of seeing how bad it gets but it looks like we could be back having 100 daily cases pretty quickly

    There we go, the anti-pub comment in response to non-pub related clusters, right on time

    We're trending towards 100 a day though no? Talk of stage four is nonsensical until we prove we can manage stage 3. If we can't manage stage 3 then the logical move it to head back to stage 2.

    You do realise that the % of cases that are community transmission has not changed? 33% is the average.

    Cos no-one ever decided they hadn't had enough craic when the pub closed, and decided to have a house party, inviting loads of newly-found friends.

    21/26 counties reporting no cases yesterday, 16/26 reporting no cases today, it's hardly widespread chaos. The same counties keep popping up.

    The Irish don't do riots. When told to jump they ask how high.

    Last serious riots were in 1981 over the hunger strikes.

    There's that sugarcoating "everything is grand, nothing to see here" attitude again

    There's multiple evidence and examples of lingering and serious after effects of getting this, even if you're not hospitalised
