So, if I limit my travel outside Dublin, but choose to go on my booked staycation, can I stay in a hotel? Only myself and the wife going. Or is that "meeting" with more than 1 household if there are other guests?

Now , now p and g, I know darn well know you are intelligent and can figure that one out your self.:).. if the hotel is keeping the guidelines/rules they are meant to, you really shouldn't be mixing with other households, unless you join others at a table in a bar for example, Treat yourself and others as a possible case.


If you stayed in Dublin would you meet more households?
Do you have or interact with high risk others?
Are you prepared to isolate if needed when you come back?
Do you have to go/can you pospone?

Is it for your/partners mental health?
What is your accepatable level of risk how does it fit in with the risk for others/country?
Do a pro and con list



are you sharing a bedroom with others????;)


What does your consciousness tell you do do?


Only you can answer the above, just make sure you can be contact traced.

Yes it is, have family in other European countries where the situation is pretty similar to here in terms of case numbers going up but they say there's not half as much panic as there is when they watch the Irish news.

They have their restrictions but getting on much better daily than we are.

My point is that its purely down to our shambles of a healthcare system, feel sorry for those who work in it

There is another reason instead of fear that is definitely more to the fore in Ireland , there is respect for the virus live life but respect it.

Yeah, you're right...Best just kill ourselves now to save the next generation if we're honest with ourselves

Don’t be ridiculous. Schools aren’t closing, get over it.

But what WILL work? Amazing how the spike dovetailed with the reopening of schools. Outbreaks and family (Not community) transmission seems to be the main route.

They are blaming everything and everyone but schools. It’s obvious to me anyway but hey lock up everyone else.

We were advised not so long ago that we should staycation rather that go on foreign holidays. Now we are advised not to staycation but foreign holidays to green-list countries are OK.
.......or maybe I’ve got that wrong?

So, the aerosol theory of transmission is bunkum?

I’ve no idea but this is what I was told by someone in the medical profession, I couldn’t get the virus even if someone was walking past me several time’s if none of us were wearing masks unless that person coughed or sneezed directly into my face

Whatever level they go to doesn’t matter if they don’t get the testing and tracing up to speed. Clearly the public servants aren’t up to it so they need to bring in professionals to get it working properly. Accountability is required here as they have failed the country.

That worked very well in UK with Deloite testing.. Need to expand pool of contact tracers clearly.

Nonsense.

I've noticed an increase in people believing all the misinformation posted lately on Facebook regarding the virus.

As a result you have healthy young people going around not bothering with masks etc and sharing other unsubstantiated nonsense as if it is fact. Hard ask to stop but probably a small part of why cases are increasing.

Would love to see it called out. A very good documentary on netflix at the minute called the social dilemma and it goes through a piece on Covid misinformation.

I unfollowed one person posting anti mask nonsense on her Instagram stories and a friend did the same. I thought many more would unfollow but she has increased her following in the past month.

There is a full thread of them right here on this forum. They've been winding each other up about how stupid every restriction is for months.
