I’ve heard upwards of 20

That's a large cluster so I assume one of the bigger shops like Tesco or Penneys

Shopping in Penny's would hardly be good for your health at the best of times. Wilton SC footfall comes from people going to or visiting CUH.

25 cases in Cork today. Down slightly.

A big drop in cases today:

Would they leave the shops open if an outbreak? We do our shopping there. Cant face washing everything after bringing home , so hoping it's Penneys

Can you find a single documented case of someone catching the virus from unwashed shopping?
I've never heard of one and I've never heard of retail staff getting the virus in numbers more than the general population.

It could also come from the 50k people who live close by.
You do realise that the hospitals are the safest places to be? The regulations up in CUH and CUMH are through the roof. The chances of somebody leaving work in the hospital and infecting another person in Wilton SC are about as high as catching it from a zoom call.

There's not much I can do with reducing my social contacts (basically one as I always was, bar pubs), but I'm going to be some pain in the ass with my 68/78 year old parents. They will hate me for telling them off!

But I will do it.

Even with the big number yesterday, our incidence remains bottom 5 in the country, around 4th atm

Always will be on a Monday. Tomorrow will be interesting.

And no one in panicking. Cases are on the up so no harm in taking extra precautions.

HSE data is updated daily with the number of positive swabs. There were 600 in past 48 hours, and ~580 cases reported. There's very little backlog if any for Tuesday.

WSC also gets a lot of West Cork visitors up once a week for the big shop

I am not trying to start anything, so please don't take this as I am because I was pro-pub opening.

Drove past two pubs, both had people already breaking regulations, smoking outside, visibly drunk all over eachother, having a fag and not sitting down (it was also the main entrance, not the designated smoking area). Probably similar enough inside. If regulations aren't even being followed correctly on day 1, then what's the point. Granted the majority are probably following them, but it only takes one to ruin it for everybody

Is it still 105 mins in any one pub with or without food?

If 2m distancing cant be achieved, then yes. 2m+ then no

I'm not necessarily referring to somebody leaving work in cuh but look at the amount of health-care staff that have gotten the virus. You're kidding yourself if you think hospitals are the safest places to be.

Drove through the city this evening and pubs looked about the same as pre-covid. Really not doing anything to help themselves.

We should be able to open them but we just can’t be trusted to follow guidelines. We can’t adjust our behaviour to the situation. The risk is low right now but it’ll spread easy the way people are acting.

Would have been safer to open in July, granted it may have risked the opening of schools, but no we wait until the case numbers reached 300+.

I've been in 4 pubs I believe since they reopened back along. None of them were following guidelines. Plenty of people not eating, sitting at the bar, staying way too long etc.
I'm sure some pubs may following all rules, but I would guess they are few and far between.

Preempting your next question “how can you tell if you didn’t go in?” It’s easy to see outside and through windows. They were busy, no proper distancing going on. Meant to be table service only ya? That wasn’t happening. People on top on each other. Some are going to be better than others obviously.

What ones were you in yourself?

It's dead right. Your idea of social distancing and what's right could be two different things. Your post is not helpful at all and this grovelling is even worse.

Living around the Lough/Hawthorn bar area. Can hear the bass from College Road now at nearly 11 as clear as day. Selfish prick students are back. Residents must be exhausted. If anyone thinks there is social distancing going on there....
