The food pubs made their choice. They should stick to it. They could have chosen to be loyal to the drink but chased the food market instead.

The below is main headline in today's independent. Wasn't that always the case though? I remember it being said numerous times schools wouldn't close automatically.

Parents and teachers' alarm as classes continue at schools despite confirmed cases of Covid-19.

"Classes are continuing in full at some schools despite confirmed cases of Covid-19, sparking alarm among parents and teachers' unions.

At least two schools have continued classes as normal following public health advice after there were confirmed cases of the virus."
https://m.independent.ie/irish-news/education/parents-and-teachers-alarm-as-classes-continue-at-schools-despite-confirmed-cases-of-covid-19-39512852.html

It seems that in the clamour to get the schools reopened no matter what many didn't take the time to research exactly what the protocols were surrounding positive cases in classes, which might somewhat explain why there was so little analysis of the same in the media

What is the timing for the Medium term plan? Last week they were talking about 14th September but now it seems that it has shifted to “in a number of weeks” and “this month”. I agree better to get it right but they seem all over the place on this now.

"It is understood that Cabinet has agreed that pubs that do not serve food will be able to reopen from 21 September."

Happy to see pubs opening, but it's sorta funny, when you think about it, that when cases were far lower the pubs couldn't open, or had to serve food. Now that cases are higher, they're opening...

Part of the "people will only accept restrictions for so long" reality I think.

Yeah I think current national restrictions up to 13th. Wonder if could roll back everywhere but Dublin and Limerick. I don't really know what they mean by further restrictions tbh. Maybe pubs opening elsewhere but not those counties will be part of it

Yeah I did start thinking about that when I read it. Focus was always on schools in reality

Not sure what the government was up to last couple weeks with non sensible rules, here is some suggestions that make sense to me:
1. No loud music (no shouting and no leaning into each other to talk)
2. Hand sanitisers in lots of locations
3. Clean toilets with running hot water and lots of soap
4. No need to sign in if you can show you have the covid app installed (should it simply be mandated?)
5. Common sense by the customers and be prepared to leave if your not comfortable with distancing etc.

Sure if they stick to it they will be empty after the 21st

Look at this gentleman in McGinn's Hop House Woodquay Galway, the food pushed away, all he wanted was a couple of pints. He even has his clock on the table to ensure he doesn't break any rules (Prob no mobile).

God bless him.

I actually like the phrase wet bar, dont think there is such thing as a wet pub. As a pub is already a wet bar.

A drink is a wet, what's the problem :rolleyes:

They do tend to be wet at the end of a messy night from the spilled toppings of pints...

I noted a change in the language around this in recent days. I think they may well take an extra few weeks.

08-09-2020 12:33PM

that term WET has it's roots in prohibition and it relates to slang term for illegal distilleries. Sure it's used in the start of that Tom Hardy film, Lawless.

so by using it on our normal pubs, it's derogatory as far as I'm concerned!

And that is surprising in an establishment that serves wets all day exclusively?

They had previously said early September. The change in language last week was to actually give it a date.

Its being widely mentioned by government ministers as being published on 14th

There's also "dry" counties and "wet" counties in the US isn't there.
Wet being a place you can legally get a drink.

Hospitalizations/ICU ? Those figures come separately?

Has there been any change in the Cases to hospitalizations in the various sub groups when time lags are taken into consideration over the past few weeks?

I'm pretty sure postives v cases announced yesterday was 150 - 160 out. Not on my laptop at the moment so don't have the number to hand.

Someone else might remember what yesterday's discrepancy was

I think you're one of very few taking offence.

Will they lock down Dublin or are they bucking the trend of knee jerk reactions?

I'd say they will give it a few more days but wouldnt be surprised if pubs and restaurants in Dublin are shut for 2 weeks from Friday.

It will be devastating for the city though and surely unwise going on latest hospital figures but there will be pressure on them following Kildare lockdown etc.

Why would they lock Dublin down? Nobody is dying.

If anything they should be putting restrictions on the elderly, sad to say but the country must move forward. Another lockdown of Dublin would be horrendous for our already struggling economy.
