I hear in future, though, it may be five days (one weekday for each step)

There's NPHET , new committee , Cabinet subcommittee , Cabinet , That's 4

Add on a few days for the PR company to tell MM what to do as well

Living In fear, Granny crying herself to sleep, terrorising people (that's a new one). Get a grip of yourself, you're hysterical and it's the likes of you that are the only ones trying to scare people.

True story, wake up to the mental damage this is doing. I'm not trying to scare anyone, quite the opposite.

I see that our minister for health has said at a FF parliamentary party meeting that it’s the opposition and media that are confusing the message. That’s a bad sign if true to blame the media. The media are just turning on the camera and covering your words live. The media can’t be held responsible if the government rabbit on and talk about trampolines amongst other things.

Trump like stuff. Blame everyone else for your incompetence. He's way over his head.

So full lockdown, hundreds of thousands out of work, who is going to pay for your granny in a nursing home if she needs to go or if she needs to go to the hospital. Health services need a healthy economy would you not agree.

There's going to be an Exodus from dublin this weekend, there's 60,000 odd dubs making a dash to holiday homes...

Were you talking to each one of the 60,000 individually? Or did they all give you a text to let you know?

Looking like NPHET might make the recommendation tomorrow with a decision on Friday.

However it's been suggested in future it could take five days for a decision to be made. Which seems bizarre considering the time sensitive nature of the needed response to the pandemic as it unfolds.

But, I don't understand.

For example, if the decision is made on Friday and the bars/restaurants/museums are open and say I travel to Dublin (I have to go up to the city to do something, pay someone and meet a friend) how can they cease trading on a Friday and does that mean I can't leave the county?

I said it a few months back that we'll end up looking worse than Boris' handling of the whole thing and we pretty much have, in spades!

At this rate, Donald will be looking over his shoulder

What sort of economy do you think will be left without any preventive measures? Or health service for that matter?

My reply was to a poster that said we should continue the way we are living now after covid is gone.

0 restrictions in Belarus, no lockdowns, Taiwan isn't in europe.
Considering they didn't scare the bejasus out of their citizens they deserve a medal.

At the hieght of lockdown, early April, Belarus was the only live sport anywhere in Europe. Fans in attendance and all. Fair play to them.

I never said no preventative measures, my question to you is what kind of health service is left with any economy. Im just saying there needs to be a balance.

I know all about the fair deal scheme and I do worry about it if the economy goes tits up, probably be first to be cut.

They can't be saved though, they would die without Covid

Well my mother in law was, thinks the government are a shower of bastard's for what they've done to them.
Look at all the posters that haven't visited their parents or brought the grankids over, won't let them hug them etc. It's wrong on so many levels. Were not protecting them were terrorising them.

We're grandparents and were cocooning. We have struggled with the restrictions, particularly with regard to seeing our kids and grandkids. But, get a grip . We're not crying ourselves to sleep at night. We appreciate the government, health authorities and bulk of the public are doing their best to suppress the virus and we are willing to do what we must to help too. We're far from being terrorised.

Each to their own and good on you.

I know a 76 year old and he bricks it when he sees a headline, doesn't read the article, demands everything be locked down or we're all gonna die.

Then, he moans about not being able to go places, even though he can.

So, your whole "get a grip" approach in your response to the above poster is nonsensical, as it doesn't apply to everyone. A lot of people think they can deal with it but, the reality is, they're not

What are you hoping for?

Like when will you stop cocooning?

Are you willing to continue indefinitely or maybe until a vaccine in 3-4 years?

Not a virus but TB wasn't a bed of roses here or still today abroad. HIV isn't great either, neither is polio or malaria/dengue/zika/ebola in other countries or even the rise of EV D68 recently etc etc:(

I know a lot of them are beatable nowadays but I presume you mean Ireland?:)

Your a grandparent and your on boards, I doubt many are, your probably on the Skype calls and zoom to your grandkids, the vast vast majority of grandparents are not as technical as you.

I am getting slightly annoyed about us Dub's supposedly off partying and breaking all the rules. I for one am keeping a low profile and every where I go in Dublin, people seem to be obeying the rules.

I detest the warnings by Gov to restrict our behavior when the majority are obeying the reasons. Very depressing. Its as if we are all children.

If Dublin goes to Level 3, it could be months before the restrictions are lifted. I also expect more closures of businesses etc.

It seems that no one in Gov is giving any hope to the general public. Its all doom and gloom.

I think if NEPHID had there way, they would like everyone to lock themselves under the stairs and stay inside for the next year.

If we keep going down the route we are going, I fear that we could have civil unrest at some stage over the coming year.

I know the numbers are high and hospital admissions are increasing, but there seems to be no long term plan other than a series of 5 steps ranging from a light to hard lock down

He's not wrong and your response/attitude is exactly why people have mental health issues and why people feel the way they do.

You never dismiss such a thing as "bull****"
