Dublin will be at level 4.5 by Halloween.

babyboom · 15-09-2020 12:56PM

I'm in Dublin too. I know 4people currently with the virus, around 10 people who've had it and 3 who have died. You are right, it is real.

1. Kids don't transmit so much.

2. Education more important than than you and your mates watching football.

I agree I just think if we get to Level 5 - its madness to leave them open. Its not even the schools themselves its all the interactions before and after that will help spread the virus.

As long as it's in Clifden you'll be grand. You'll have to buy a €9 Sand-wedge though.

So Dubliners are "strongly advised" to stay in Dublin.

That will put the fear of God into the thousands who will head to Bray this weekend.

True... should stop the southbound DART at Shankill and check passports to allow only genuine Wicklow residents to proceed beyond that point.

That's how it worked in any WW2 movies I have seen.

No you are just ****ing other people

I don't think that's it. I think it's more a rejection of restrictions. The government just happen to be incompetent.

But there'll be more masks around, so that should help.

It's nonsense, whatever level of infection we need to get to level 5 I imagine it is fairly high, the people who work in schools won't go and parents won't send their children in.

What do they think we are, fúcking Lemmings?

I think it is very tricky. What would you suggest as a substantial measure in Dublin?

Agreed it is very tricky, but I think the majority of people are willing to take big steps if they are given clear guidance as to what those steps should be. Asking people to "avoid all but essential travel if you live in the following Dublin postcodes" is an example - you'd get 80% compliance for a few weeks just by asking. Or limiting alcohol sales in off-licences. Or no travel outside county boundaries.

I think what the earlier government got correct initially is that people respond to "big" high-profile asks, but with the more granular rules approach it is difficult to capture attention.

This is either a poor judgement of the people and the mood or plain wishful thinking. The herd is moving again.

As wishy-washy as the "strong advice" is not to leave (or enter?) Dublin is, why didn't they mention it at the press conference?

It's strong advice that you have to find yourself - buried in some god-awful boring looking document somewhere online.

No, 15 people out in a park.

Not going by this:

Or indeed the ever-clear document:

Other settings outside your home or garden

Members of different households can continue to meet socially in other settings up to 6 people indoors, 15 outdoors from 1, 2 or 3 other households.

This will be determined by the prevailing public health advice for the county or other defined geographical area.

For Dublin, it'll be from one other household. I would love to know the logic of this (households make more sense from an indoor transmission perspective).

Bit farcical really. They're just delaying the inevitable in regards to Dublin.

Have hotel booked outside Dublin next week.

I get claustrophobic when trapped between levels.

I assume it's for the sake of clarity.

Didn't quite work out, but at least they're trying.

There is a plan, but it doesn't seem all that different to the previous plan so it's hard to grab people's attention.

Ronan Glynn was much better I thought. Simple clear instructions e.g. reduce the number of people you meet. Some other public health experts have been saying things like if you are going to meet people, meet them outside rather than inside. All simple messages which make a big impact.

They'll have Dublin on Level 3 by Monday when they release how ridiculous this 2.5 nonsense is.

At least SF are still appearing on TV and giving quotes, which is reassuring.

Because if the situation was really serious SF would be nowhere to be seen.
