I detect a little begrugdery in that post or have you something against people travelling in general? Yes i know there’s a pandemic but you need to be clear on your real motives about travelling.

I was in four different countries abroad last year, it's not a high priority for me this year for various reasons.

It'll just be a replication of what happened in LOK down - a few weeks locally.

Not the same at all. In LOK restaurants were allowed takeaway food. What will pub owners do?

Remember Kevin Brady of Bradys from Maynooth?

I wonder if they'll offer guidelines on venues like restaurants and cinemas? Do they count as close contacts? Heading to the cinema tomorrow for the first time in half a year - chose the Lighthouse in Smithfield due to the social distancing standards it has. Won't be interacting with anyone much bar for some food beforehand. Are these behaviours they'll start stigmatising?

A direct result of being treated like crap with little or no support from government, talked down to, lauded as absolute hotspots for the virus spreading despite already being one of the most heavily regulated industries in Ireland in nearly every regard most of whom would have happily complied with whatever sensible guidelines that could have been issued back in July.

The fact that I can legally go and meet a group of friends, order a plate of goujons and drink for hours on end but can't go to a "wet" pub (that term makes me want to vomit) for a one hour catch up with a friend over two pints is ridiculous.

The government lost the people when they "compromised" by allowing gastropubs to open with the €9 meal nonsense which has just led to all sorts of nonsense rule bending.

Wet pubs shouldn't be opened until 2021.

So.

Do we have a breakdown of infections by age over the past week? Is that published somewhere? It would be useful to know whether the younger people infected 3/4 weeks ago went on to infect parents or grandparents.

Also, do the government publish an age breakdown for hospitalisations by week, or do they just update cumulative statistics?

You're calling for schools to close and local lockdowns

No Im not, I stated whats likely to happen based on other countries. In the US only 1 in 7 are attending school at the minute and now theirs restrictions in Bolton. Dublin has a higher rate per 100,000 btw. Even Sweden shut schools when cases rose. The Irish government shut down people attending Sports very unexpectedly at the time. Given our hospital capacity unlikely.

You again chose to make assumptions that I'm worried. Strange. Suggest reading the posts properly rather than choosing to make personal comments to a poster. You might learn something

Nonsense pubs are currently open in every other EU country at the moment.

Maybe that's just it, maybe they are outdated.What's so good about indoor pubs in a pandemic? Don't see the appeal myself. Very few cases in restaurants as it's controlled and the alcohol is not the be and end all.

So you don't see the appeal and want them closed. Now that's selfish.
Would it shock you to know the rural pub is a centre of socialisation for many otherwise isolated . Is that not important?

Come back to me in December and we will see who was right.

I doubt if many of the pubs can turn a profit in a pandemic from september onwards anyway.

I think it is shocking how many people in Ireland have preventable underlying conditions. We are an extremely unhealthy country and getting worse.

Im feeling a sense of panic is the voice of the receptionist in my local surgery. Took ages to get through and could hear the phones hopping in the background.

Doctor usually makes a house call at lunchtime or after surgery to change my dads catheter. I get the catheter then ring up the surgery and book in house call with the receptionist. This has been the same procedure before and throughout the pandemic including last week.

Not today though. I now have to wait for the doctor to call me back. Receptionist sounded like she was reading from a script as she knows me, knows what I’m calling about but kept to the lines. She sounded stressed tbh which I can understand with the phones hopping in the background.

Not jealous at all, spent a week in Italy. Toured for a few days stayed with friends in Naples for the reminder of the holiday. I know alot of people too, work in a company with an onsite workforce of 300 but only know one person intimately who got the virus but made a full recovery and is back at work over a month now. Guess I'm very lucky, an outlier if you will .
Glad your needy family members were able to do without you for the few days. I value having a good memory, you should too.

Ugh this is the first I'm hearing about nonsense pubs, what are the guidelines for these??

Blondini · 08-09-2020 02:34PM

Makes sense. They were obviously waiting for the daily cases to exceed 300 before opening the pubs. Clever, very clever.

Could've saved people their livelihoods if they opened when cases were low, it's actually embarrassing how our government looks at times.

To be honest i don't care either way. I personally ate and drank out (less frequently in wet bars) mostly before pandemic so I am probably biased. I just doubt a bar can turn a profit in a pandemic without endangering public health. These rural pubs were on their knees before hand. How could they turn a profit in a pandemic? Most of them relied on their big Saturday nights packed like sardines. All profit made for the week in about 6 hours. This business model is a busted flush for the next12 months. Food and drink is the way forward.

€50 charity bet (loser donates €50 to a charity) says that wet pubs will be fine and there will be no reintroduction of any restrictions in wet pubs between now and the end of the year once they are reopened.
