I have a friend, high risk with diabetes and asthma, his wife is even worse, severe high risk.

They are not sending their kids back to school because of this. Is there something in place for people like this for homeschooling? I can't imagine that parents in this category are expected to take the chance on sending their kids back to school?

I haven't heard of any options available and I assume there is many vulnerable at high risk parent(s), it is a worry

Would it be a better use of the billions we are spending treating the unwell if we gave each obese person €100 in cash for every stone of weight they lost?

Donnelly should be pulled up on the lies he just sprouted about masks I hope there's a journalist watching that and was watching when Hennigan spoke. He did definitely not say they do no harm, he said the opposite and pointed to evidence in the UK and to the studied that have been done.
A rotten dirty liar is all he is, needs to go.

Is everyone seeking the wrong resignation. This lad could actually do real harm.

Correction to my rant it was Nolan lied not Donnelly

Some don't think it is possible to have another lockdown.

Are you forgetting that Kildare,laois & Offaly had a partial lockdown with not that many cases.

We are now heading into the winter months.
What do you think will happen if we get 500+ or even 1000s of cases a day & no hospital beds are available.

Economy will collapse anyway if we have no lockdown & 10's of thousands not able to go into to work through being sick,showing symptoms & being close contacts.

Some in here are not thinking logically at all.
Not saying there will be a lockdown(I hope not) but certaintly you cant rule it out.

We have around 100 cases a day now with 20 oddin hospital, 500 cases a day should be manageable

Out of curiosity, if you're on lets say a bus and some old lad is hacking up a lung with no as attempt to cover it, is it rude to tell them to get f'ed (politely as possible)?

It's rude to tell them to get fcked, but I think you are able to say" do you mind?" - but it depends on the way things are going I guess.

My housemate coughs approximately 10 000 times a day, liberally spraying every available surface with a fine layer of the inner coating of his lungs. I've asked him politely to try to cover his mouth - at least aim for once in every fifty to a hundred coughs - but I have to just try to accept that he's too obnoxious to do it out of courtesy and it's not worth the aggrevation each and every time.

His cough noticeably worsened last week and after much begging from myself and housemate number three he, grudgingly, requested a test, continued to meet people out socially while waiting on the results and continued to devote his life to spraying phlegm everywhere, with even added dedication in fact. Thankfully, the test was negative, but that's the level of cop on you have to deal with.

Plan for weddings except for maybe late in the evening!

Wedding guests will have to wear face coverings when arriving at or leaving their table, according to new guidelines for reopening hotels and guesthouses by Fáilte Ireland.

Under current public health guidelines, all guests will also have to leave function rooms or bar areas by 11.30pm.

Its almost like the old and vunerable are minding themselves and adhering to cop on.

How does an old person in a nursing home isolate themselves away from a younger nurse? Does a wife working in a factory with a husband having chemo have to live in the factory and not return home? What happens someone who has a parent or grandparent who needs care do - stay away?

These ideas that the "vulnerable" can simply isolate themselves doesn't reflect reality.

Whats up with Spain lately. 7296 cases today highest number since March.

Appears particularly high in Aragon and Madrid, with the Basque Country, La Rioja and the Balearics also centres in recent days:

No pressure on Spanish hospital beds currently (graph on right-hand side of above tweet).

To be honest that's essentially the way its been for weeks. The only updates are the mask wearing if your not at your table and the 11.30 close.

Not sure why they're trying to portay these as wedding guidelines. Its nothing new and is the bog standard for every bar, restaurant and hotel now

This is gone completely out of hand, time to tell them shove their masks where the sun don't shine.
When you've members of NPHET lying on public record it's time to call an end to the bull****.

93 in Dublin 22 in Kildare and 13 in Carlow and 10 in Tipperary. So 138 I make it.

The last three are easy but I think that’s what Dublin is. C is 100 and X is ten which is before it so 90 and then rocky III after that.

164 now confirmed (no deaths), now we await the county details.
