Why cant they say 2 new deaths and 8 historical deaths notified ? It doesn’t take much to say that

Can’t move to level 3 especially with 80% of today’s deaths from the summer.

Case numbers are high though.

If the country goes to level 3 next week,will it really have a big effect on numbers? Dublin at level 3 for 2 weeks and while numbers might of stabilised a bit will they really reduce in significant numbers while staying in level 3?

we can all still go to work as normal under level 3 as i understand it, just effects restaurants to take aways etc...?

They know the schools are causing this, everyone can clearly see no masks, no social distancing, nothing whatsoever at schools - but they claim it's all house parties? What, Ireland is suddenly fiesta nation everyone and anyone having house parties? Give me a break. It's the schools.

Dublin isn't increasing and the schools are all still open?

Is there any good reason for communions going ahead?

Covid aside it’s hard to justify the indoctrination of children to a fundamentalist religious order, but in light of the current health situation surely this falls into the category of currently completely unnecessary.

Would a 12 month stay of communions and confirmations actually have any impact on anything?

Yeah, it will stop the ridiculous parties afterwards.

It looks to me that they’ve changed tack and are looking are the pressure points ie hospitals and icu admissions.
Hence why Cork probably wasn’t put into level 3 this week.

That anti-mask protest is extremely unfair on Dublin city centre traders and will do serious damage to what is already a city under pressure and trying to keep some sense of normality.

They're frightening people out of the city centre on Saturday. I know anecdotally of at least 5 people who didn't go to town today because of those protests and others who've avoided Grafton Street and Henry Street.

We were in town a few weeks ago and had anti maskers shout at us for coming out of a shop on Henry Street with masks on. Also my 5-year old niece and her mom were shouted at by one of them on Grafton Street a couple of weeks ago and haven't been into town since.

They're becoming a regular feature of town on a Saturday so, people are moving trade online or avoiding the city centre.

I mean think about it : A quiet coffee somewhere away from the mayhem, or put yourself at risk with that lot roaring all over the place?

Seems the powers that be have no interest in doing anything about it.

If they close the off licences you'll have the hospitals overrun with alcoholics in critical condition after a few days

Why didn't they just announce 7 historic deaths today instead of adding 8 and denotifying 1?

Better still, why don't they just announce the daily deaths and at the end of the week in a separate statement announce all the historic deaths and denotifcations?

In that case 1 historic death would be added (8 deaths and 7 denotifications).

Ficheall · 03-10-2020 07:02PM

Some people seem keen to almost write off historic deaths - they're still deaths, and next month's historic deaths will be this week's deaths that we just don't know about. If anything, the way things are going, there are likely more than 10 that we'll be notified of in the future as historic.

It's like thinking using your credit card isn't really spending money because it hasn't come out of your bank account yet.

It's not ideal the way it's being reported, for sure, but they're not any less dead because they're historic.

For a small minority maybe.

Kermit.de.frog · 03-10-2020 07:04PM

It's only a matter of time before hospitalisations pick up dramatically. The migration from healthy and young to fragile and older will be a real test.

Coupled with onset of winter illnesses there is going to be great strain on the health services.

There are very difficult months ahead.

I’m from Dublin, sick of our numbers being blamed on people living here. Everyday we have visitors from every other county.

Yes, consign large numbers to covid infection to protect alcoholics.. wonderful. The alcoholics will get a script for tapering librium then out the door. And yes i know, withdrawing from alcohol is lethal.

I hope Micheal Martin has the strength to do the right thing on Monday and impose a strict level 5 lockdown for 3 weeks. We need to get this house in order now, it cannot be allowed spiral out of control.

I would be stocking the cupboards high tomorrow as i sense they will act from midnight Monday.

Check your toilet roll supplies, do you have enough cans in the cupboard, do u have enough break and milk in the freezer?

Do u have enough Jameson in the cellar?

Very serious questions must be asked of one another tonight.

But people have been going back to the offices as some employers are starting to relax a bit. Strange because people have been able to work remotely for six months so what's changed all of a sudden that requires them to return to the office?
