Needs a proper plan for it to sustainable. Opening all pubs in lets say Leitrim could go fine. Somewhere like temple bar in Dublin obviously much more challenging. If their was a bad outbreak in many pubs then all could be made suffer which is obviously unfair. I think they will probably keep pubs closed in Dublin and Limerick and regions with high transmission. Probably will look at Green and Red zones moving forward. Yes I know its bad before anyone thinks I get some sort of pleasure of stating this. Hopefully by May next year their will be a good vaccine. Science do seem to be making encouraging progress lately even Dr John has come out with some promising video's. Usual no bias with his video's

Sensible and well thought out post. Echoes alot of my own thinking. The pubs near me have a steady small well known clientele. They never were late bars.

Good numbers

s1ippy · 08-09-2020 02:54PM

It does look like the daily rate is around 110 positive tests. Shame the numbers given daily aren't a representation of this for a bit of clarity.

So we're looking at 119 today, 166 left over and 23 presumably private tests, if the 308 is right.

It's undoubtedly an irritating amount of beers to swallow, 308, but at least it's not a legitimate 24 hour count and includes a sizeable backlog from lower case days.

These four pubs are selling food I take it. Thats my point what's opened now is sustainable. Anything that hasn't opened is busted already. Their business model no longer exists for the next 6 to 12 months.

No. I said they survived up to March closed since due to the restrictions but actively preparing to reopen.

Here's a novel suggestion, put me on ignore. The only interaction I have with you is when you initiate it and that's usually because of some 'baiting' comment from you.
Now you have a good one, I'm done responding further.

Surely the huge increase in positive tests the last month and icu numbers remaining between 4-6 in a population of 5 million people is a good thing ??

Any truth to this video going around of a HSE report that the proper number of deaths from covid 19 is 100?

EXcess deaths during the pandemic are hundreds more than that so how could it be true?

Planning to go to Dublin on Thursday to meet up with a work colleague for lunch. He is from the UK and lives alone and hasn't really had any contact with anyone in months including family. I sense in our weekly work VCs that he is quite down lately and the loneliness is getting to him. Anyhow, can someone recommend a restaurant/pub/cafe where we could eat in D2? Looking for somewhere that are doing all the correct things with regards SD and cleanliness. Even somewhere to eat outdoors would be ideal. Thanks.

Its good news but still obvious reasons for caution. Soain and France now seeing hospitalizations rise. Its a slower 2nd wave this time for a number of reasons. I think its fair to say to say that while this virus is serious. Its not as bad as previously thought. As seen back in March its highly likely that we will follow the patterns seen in mainland Europe at the moment which are concerning. Local lockdowns seem the way forward for the next few mths

No way they doing anything major in way of lock down in Dublin or they would face serious revolt.

They could try tweak a few measures to be seen to be doing something; perhaps reduce house visitors to one family and maybe stronger recommendations to the >70s.

I cannot see them touching bars and restaurants in the capital or there would be uproar.

I dont understand why the idea of restrictions in Dublin isnt possible to some people.
Rising case numbers, increasing community transmission, greater population density, greater use of public transport etc.

Kildare had restrictions for weeks, along with Loais and Offaly.
Australia had to knockdown certain states. The UK places restrictions on entire cities.

Why is Dublin so different/ special/above restrictions for the county.

I'm expecting local lockdown restrictions in North Central Dublin off another bad round of numbers. You would only have to walk through it anyway and you would understand why there is a jump in cases. Lots of tenament conditions and people living on top of each other aswell. A lot of people just not giving a ****.
It's doable by blocking the bridges between the liffey and the Tolka.

Dublin North Central is north of the Tolka...
I thought it was Artane, Beaumont (*Hospital), Whitehall, Coolock, Donaghmede, Fairview, Marino, Clontarf.

Better to do a sharp quick 2/3 week measure then continued high level of cases for a few months I think if it came to that. Nobody wants more restrictions obviously but I think its optimistic for government they can open up further in areas with high case numbers without something having to give

Market Bar have setup partitions on their floor... not outdoors but high ceilings.
They were one of the first to re-open.

Hopefully. On the one hand, this could show that the virus has possibly weakened and this would allow us to more or less open up fully with hand washing, masks etc. On the other, it could mean that the actions taken to protect the vulnerable have worked and by opening up, we will remove that protection.

In any location?

Yes but I'm talking specially about restrictions being reintroduced on wet pubs. A complete local lockdown in a specific country wouldn't count unless the restriction only targets wet pubs.

Is the backlog a one off or do they happen regularly?

I would suggest grabbing a sandwich somewhere and eating outdoors with a coffee.

Any reputable and safe establishment would require you make a booking, which you can do on opentable.com

I hope this helps!

Happens regularly, we have moved to 14 day averages as a means of measure now.

Test data is posted every day around 3pm here - https://covid19ireland-geohive.hub.arcgis.com/ - under ICU, Hospitals & Testing.

They don't actually give the total positive tests in a 24 hour period, you have to figure it out yourself by calculating the change in the Total Positive Tests each day.

Or just check here every afternoon, there's always talk about it.

Yes, and hundreds of other people with underlying conditions died. It doesn't mean you were going to die tomorrow because you have an underlying condition. Over 20% of Irish people multiple underlying health conditions. This doesn't even take into account large numbers of obese individuals.

Its madness. No one is dying, younger people are contracting the virus. They should be introducing new guidelines for the elderly and at risk.

Dublin will not lockdown, our economy would not survive it.

I get the feeling (for whatever reason) there are many posters in this thread who would love to see dublin locked down. I can't understand the obsession.
