It's for the "tiny number" who are flouting it otherwise it's just the government responding to media stories.

But they are not going to have to serve food in a few weeks anyway making the whole thing redundant.

New expense for a lot of smoking areas requiring seating.

They were supposed to be recording the time you arrived anyway......

Yeah, they'll go. It was always temporary and its sole aim was to get some parts of the hospitality industry open.

Call Me Jimmy · 06-09-2020 04:50PM

So do the government ever expect to loosen restrictions and not see a rise in cases? I would have thought that's impossible.

You can only conclude the government are incompetent (again).

Simply because the vast majority probably don't even know anyone who has tested positive never mind get sick from it and even fewer know anyone that died from it. Telling the younger generation to give up their social lives for something that has had zero affect for the vast vast majority of them indefinitely is an impossible ask. Maybe if we had an end game or an end death we might have a chance.

Sorry but I disagree, asking them to have some cop on is not a big ask. Living with blinkers on is not going to make it go way and more than likely will bite them on the ass.

No, every measure we've had has been temporary. They have been extended as needed. The Garda power to stop traffic moving about was allowed to lapse for example.

How can you conclude this when only last week they mandated that all pubs serving food must keep records of food consumed.
They got enormous flack and bad publicity for that and it will now be scrapped before it's even properly implemented.

I haven't been at a pub till closing since precovid but the strict closing at 11.30 is one of the the reasons for the congregations in the streets around midnight, obviously it was always an issue but maybe some could go to clubs before, everyone out at the same time and difficulty getting transport home.

It's down to how high the averages go. It's all a bit high at present and you'd expect cases around the 20 mark daily would be tolerable.

I know at least 10 people who got it close to me in my area.

All aged between 25 and 45. Nobody hospitalised.

One lad took a few months to recover. Couldn't run for a while, back running now. He ran for an hour last weekend.

In my town, 2 nursing homes were 100% infected as 20 to 30% died in each. There only is two homes, both decimated, RIP. My county had the highest deaths above normal in April. Was about 2.5 times higher than normal. I remember over 70 cases in one day reported in my county back in April and it's a small population.

They are saying nine months. So we are probably about half way considering this started last december and blew up in March.

Surely with better testing and treatment this will get better. The time period I'm dreading is Christmas as you normally meet up with a lot of people and nice time of year. Different craic this year. Here's to Christmas to 2021. Maybe I'm too pesimistic about Christmas and testing will have been revolutionised by then.

Well, that's not the original regulation, which is fine IMO and yes that "fix" looks very heavy handed. It could be 4 weeks, 6 weeks or 2 months before pubs reopen anyway.

Nothing.will be forgotten in days...

How are they living with blinkers on, it hasn't and doesn't affect the vast vast majority of them.

bpb101 · 06-09-2020 05:29PM

Wet pub guidelines are the stupidest thing ever.
First thing before you open pub is drop the 1:45 in restaurants. You cant have that in restaurants and not pubs

If a lad has been drinking all day and the garda come in and there 1meter distance. The pub owners will say ah sure there was 2meter up until 10 mins ago.
Or even if you take a pub who follows it to the exact rules. After 1:45, they throw us out, youll just go to the pub right next door

Table service, 4-6 people tables and maybe divisors between tables. State can easily afford to give that to pubs for infrastructure. (Not cash, guarantee its being spent on covid reducing measures )

They make a fortune in tax from pubs (and spending 350 a week in social welfare for everybody in that pub to close them)

Hence the blinkers. They are part of a much wider society where it can have an impact. Thankfully most of them have the cop on to realise this. Those that can't see the bigger picture are, by definition, blinkered.

Thanks. So that's a big jump then. Hopefully not a sign of things to come.
