You'd wonder at what point they'd consider putting Dublin into a lockdown similar to Kildare with people not allowed to leave the county without an essential reason. Several hundred cases a day probably.

I'd love to ban the word lockdown from the English language.

You'll have a two month window from March next year. After that, we have another flu pandemic due along with an economic depression and a global conflict. Are you going anywhere nice?

So sick of this narrative around pubs. Basing this on "outbreaks linked to pubs" and Healy Rae saying it's "perfectly safe" to open pubs and pub owners are being victimised. Even he doesn't get it as he says "let them have a chance and if it goes wrong, close them again"

Why is there so much discussion about where this spreads based on category of business? All this talk of it can/cannot spread in schools, or pubs, or supermarkets.

It's clear this thing spreads everywhere, environment type should not be the main focus, it should be the measures implemented within that environment.

You could very easily create one pub thats safer than a supermarket, with easy-to-implement measures in the pub, and less measures in the supermarket.

I understand we need more 'blanket' rules and this "no pubs" rule does make sense in the short term, but if we're to live with this we need to rate individual places based on measures in place. Make the public understand that nowhere is 100% bulletproof safe, but situations, behaviours, and physical measures are what make things closer to safe than further from safe.

Over 5 times the population and 35 times the population density, so that will be taken into account. It's also our country's capital and as bad as it sounds, there's a lot more money at stake. So I'd say the numbers would have to be substantially higher than Kildare's was. Kildare, Laois and Offaly were all easy sacrifices.

Population density is the problem, always has been. It spreads rapidly in high density urban areas. One of the reasons why the Western seaboard and other less populated counties haven't seen cases explode.

Yes its 11:30pm across all areas.

No food required for the residents bar but the maximum you can spend in here is 1 hour post having a meal / attending function etc in the hotel.

Honestly what's crass about it, obviously RIP to the poor person who passed, but the only reason I asked is, if it was a young casualty and without underlying conditions, maybe younger folk will sit up and take notice and possibly stop their partying in the streets like last weekend in Skerries and Killarney.

Dublin hasn't exploded either though. It's been fairly consistent.

35 times the population density with only the city area taken into account but when it's the whole county, it's just over 10 times the population density of Kildare.

If we look at Newbridge, it's not far off the density of Dublin City (4588) at 3600 per km2.

We stayed in a hotel recently and could only get a drink with food.

105 positive swabs from 7,301 tests in last 24 hours. Positivity rate of 1.43%. Stabilising.

If they had reported the normal cases per day over the past 3 days I'd say people would actually be fairly encouraged

I said it earlier young people are not going to engage in the hermit lifestyle no matter what others may wish them to do or anecdotal evidence is presented to them.
I remember my late teens and 20's an immortal mindset is common.

I'd rather remain open to everything that comes in here and make my own decisions, thanks. If you deem it misery, that's your personal opinion.

But it gets boring when one poster keeps posting the same tweets over and over again about the heart and covid every few pages.

Btw thank you for your insulting psychological analysis of my emotional maturity, thankfully your assessment is way off. I suppose it’s one way to try and win an argument to deflect from the reality on here.

There's a pay wall. Looks like this doesn't evolve as fast as the flu does.

What Welch didn’t predict was that the virus never truly went away. In 2009, David Morens and Jeffery Taubenberger — two influenza experts at the National Institutes of Health — co-authored an article with Anthony S. Fauci explaining how the descendants of the 1918 influenza virus have contributed to a “pandemic era” that has lasted the past hundred years. At the time the article was published, the H1N1 influenza virus in public circulation was a fourth-generation descendant of the novel virus from 1918

“All those pandemics that have happened since — 1957, 1968, 2009 — all those pandemics are derivatives of the 1918 flu,” Taubenberger told The Post. “The flu viruses that people get this year, or last year, are all still directly related to the 1918 ancestor.”

If you had a meal you can book a slot in the residents bar after for a max of one hour.

You can't just walk into the residents bar and have drinks.

Thankfully it weakened so people could go back to full normality.

Plenty of hotels doing their own thing to be honest.

Been away twice in different parts of the country, was asked for my room number and that was it.

Instead of choosing to use the ignore function, you instead choose to expose yourself to such "misery". Why?

Not sure what the learning is supposed to be here except that you seem annoyed at others being annoyed about people being negative. As I said, month 7 and folks are tetchy!
