I'm having problems too - the thread jumps back several pages by times, and I've had an exception error message too.
I'm using the touch site

Looks like its a game of wait and watch now to see where the boat swerves. I expect we see more compliance from people to keep this under control. The new normal wont be the old habits.

I think once the majority keep compliance we will be in a decent spot. If it's confined to clusters and they can contain them, it's good. Remember the Sligo one, all the worry etc... That was quickly contained. With cases so low, clusters cause massive increases.
The meat factory's were a **** show, but we had high numbers daily, so it didn't cause massive shifts in numbers.

The fact that there was no clusters directly linked to restaurants is kinda a welcomed surprise.
And you also have to remember, on the clusters on building sites and factories, those work places weren't closed down for long. It's not like it's just happened because they opened back up in a previous phase.

I think we're just going to have to expect and live with clusters. It's the community transmission that would be scaring me if it jumped as quick and high as the clusters.

I think a ****show is an understatement we're looking at 100+ cases from that factory i reckon

Is boards very slow for other posters. I keep getting returned to a page or two back from the most recent. It's making this thread hard to keep up with.

Yes it's slow and doesn't allow to do a "copy pasta" to a link I want to share. The box with Please enter the URL of your link isn't working for me.

I've been personally attacked on this thread multiple times by your so-called victims. But it's pot calling the kettle black, yeah, right.

Again where did I say Personal attack, I didn't, but no you have to still go on and on and on.
Don't bother replying.

Yeah you can't even put together a genuine argument as to when I have stooped as low as that lot. Good luck and God bless, I'm off to the pub.

The government needs to pass a law for mandatory forced quarantine and testing also at ports, borders and airports here too for all incoming passengers even returning Irish

Has to happen, I'm friends with a working from home public servant, decided to feck off to a non green list country for a holiday, came back last Sunday, met them out in a crowded area jogging last night, no mask on, shouldn't be out amongst people, I like them but I'm annoyed at their stupidity and them been on the pubic payroll is just taking the piss.

Why the High numbers in laois today?

Can't see pubs or clubs opening anytime soon. They'll be the spark that starts the fire. I'm almost of the belief most countries can keep a lid on covid outbreaks simpkt by maintaining closure of pubs and clubs. Almost all major outbreaks across the world recently have been linked to clubs and pubs ..100 new cases in Prague last week linked to a nightclub ,South Korea still battling an epidemic started by a massive transmission event at a nightclub district, open clubs and pubs and you're asking for community transmission.

Pubs can operate as restaurants (Table service, 1h45 time limit, 2 meters distance between tables...) so therefore I don't understand why they can't open. Clubs can't open that's a certainty.

What's to argue where did I say personal attack, i didn't, but you cannot accept that.
I'll make a suggestion you go to the pub as you said you would and I'll go my way.
