Relaxation of Restrictions, Part V - **Read OP for Mod Warnings**

Leaving aside your smartarse comment it has been clearly shown that people talking loudly and/or shouting in a situation where there is high background noise greatly increases the risk of spreading droplets potentially containing virus particles.

Okay, so taking that at face value, what dB level is allowable? Seriously, what is the level, how is it enforced?

Can I ask anyone, having looked at the latest info on the HSE, there's no mention at all of the deaths.. of indeed the age range in particular of the latest 4,

anyone know?

I haven't seen anything mentioned about the age ranges of the poor people who passed recently. Kind of points to them being in the very old age scale, much like the vast majority of deaths to date. If it was a young person it would have been all over the news by now.

rusty cole wrote: »

indeed weeks back, the deaths were given with median age and health status and even setting etc, as the deaths are most important I think.

Now it;s all about lockdowns and hammering out the age of transmission so we are all pushing a boulder up a hill whilst the Gov have tea and cake!

WTF is going on with not reporting the death ages etc ?? and moreover, WTF is going on with Media not asking about them..

The best analysis iMO

Whatever dB level that people don't need to shout over. You know those places all over the country that used to jack the volume up sometime after 10pm? We don't want that. Pretty straight forward.

We?

I'm not a fan of loud places myself but I'm big enough to move on to another spot if it's not to my liking.

I have a long time hearing issue (long before Covid appeared) with high background noise in enclosed public places so it would have to be at a low level for me personally. The security comment is something you introduced yourself. I made no mention of that in my posts.

I'm the same, but that's my issue not anyone else's. I'd be happy for gigs to start up again slowly, like in a pub or that, and then move on to bigger things.

I don't enjoy them, not because the music is not enjoyable, it is the background shouting and roaring that gets me. But not complaining, I don't have to go.

And my brother is a musician, piano player for many big gigs so for his sake, I hope things open up again. See I am not at all selfish. Each to their own. :P

I have an odd type of hearing disorder in which noises are louder for me but i do love gigs and travel far and wide for them

I hate hate loud talkers and that includes **** in pubs shouting and then signing a **** song. I tend to mellow out once i have a pint or 2

Hopefully will know more when I get my autism assessment (which was ****ed over by this virus bastard)

Sorry for your troubles, but those of us with hearing impairment are not all ASD. But I hope all will be well for you. I do realise you are talking about loud noises and loud singing. I'm talking about not being able to hear much of that apart from the thud of a bass somewhere. But look it. It could be worse. We are all different.

I adjust my life to places where I can kind of hear what's going on and my friends, family totally understand this.

'We' do need a government policy to cover this. Did you think when they opened the pubs that there wouldn't be any restrictions?

We really really don't being honest. We knew what the restrictions would be, the same as restaurants and other pubs serving food. Now the volume button on the TV is now restricted. Bonkers stuff.

Bizzare stuff.

These are unprecedented times in Ireland.

We really are the most pedantic country in the whole world.

2km, 5km, 9 euro meal, 105 min limit, TV must be set to a certain level, 11:30pm curfew.

You can only have 6 in your house but can meet the entire extended family in church if you wish.

Donnelly looking to bring in 20 quid fines if you don’t have a mask.

I cannot believe people are still trying to justify this nonsense.

I don’t see any other country doing all of this sh*te. Maybe 1 or 2 had a pedantic rule but we have a whole f*cking list. Pathetic is what it is.

Yesterday I was in town and just lost my senses for a few minutes and walked into a store and wandered around without a mask. Hard to believe that If SS D had is way I would have been hit with a 10k fine and 6 months in prison.

It's because if it's not set in stone, everyone will just ignore it, shure it doesn't apply to me,

Worrying time for businesses in parts of Dublin now as cases keep rising. Hopefully people pay heed to the government and restrict their contacts, wear masks etc.

The next week will probably be critical - if cases and hospitalisations continue to rise it is clearly unsustainable and some action will need to be taken. The UK has moved to this thing of 6 people max in a house, but haven't increased restrictions on businesses. We're still in the middle of an extraordinary period so there is going to be a certain amount of trial and error to see which restrictions have the most benefit vs cost.

Dublin, meanwhile haven't won an all Ireland for 68 years
