Schools are spreading it. They didn't start the fire, but if you throw kids from families where the adults behaved badly into the same classroom, then all the other families are at risk no matter how responsible they were in following the guidlines.

Nobody is claiming there are no cases in schools but we've had a whole 2-3 months of adults having a good time and lot of our cases have come from it.

Absolutely bonkers that NI has had more cases in last 3 days than ROI. Despite the fact that their their population is 40 per cent of ours. This will make things worse for the rest of ireland. Especially border counties.

If NPHET recommends to go to level 4 country wide..
I actually fear for everyone! Our country’s economy will be destroyed!
NPHET can’t keep on with this. The amount of people that’ll be left without work once again will be horrendous!!
I actually can’t deal with it again myself. We’ve been treated like bold children.
I’ve adhered to rules about masks not seeing friends, parents, sisters, my nephew and niece not going out to a championship game, no pints for how ever long and they want to take this all away once again. It’s a fûcking disgrace

Last time I checked, education for children was compulsory basically, so you are just being absolutely ridiculous with your baby sitting analogy. Parents have no choice but to send their kids to school, if you have a problem with the system then attack those in charge of it, not the parents....

Yes the whole situation with tusla is a joke at the moment

I wonder would the government have the balls to stand up to Tony and NPHET if they recommended all counties to level 4?

I'd have my doubts

And if they advise the Govt to do so what would be wrong with it?

Nphet are not acting on some sort of agenda against you personally ffs.

Grow up.

And here's you claiming things I never said. By the looks of this you want to have schools shut forthwith and will browbeat anyone who doesn't agree with you. That's fine. Now it may happen but the government have bet the house on it so it's a small possibility at present.

Again i want schools kept open safely with a blended hybrid model, please don't make me repeat that again.

That's not open, that's half closed and at the risk of repeating myself there are huge flaws with that plan.

The ****ing disgrace is people who are not adhering to the advice (many of them on this thread) so that we can maintain some semblance of normal living.

As a result we are going backwards and towards level 4.

No school is fully open with reduced students per day, do you not think less students in the building at the same time is a good idea with covid?

So much for NPHETs 'there is no blame' narrative.
You must have inside knowledge on compliance?

Exactly.

This whole 'people aren't complying' narrative is complete and utter bull****.
It's a ****ing virus, doing what a virus does. It's going to spread whether people comply or not.
How hard is that to get?

It's a crap option skipping a step country wide

Try level three first

The economic and personal consequences are greater the higher the level

we can blame nphet all we like but its the gov that will be destroying the country if we go to l4, not them. And it will happen, Michael Mcgrath getting the warning in early on tv today.

It spreads more when people gather. You realise this right?

That's the wrong attitude completely. Don't start faulting other people for being as human as you are, that's the last thing we need. The only problem we have on our hands is a pandemic, don't feel you're in a place to judge others as they make sense of it all. This virus isn't rampant because your neighbour had a few friends over, it's rampant because it has been designed to spread that way. Blame nature's way, not other people.

Well, the powers that be seem to find it acceptable and given how absolutely hyper-cautious they've been throughout this that for now is good enough. On a personal level I've seen how happy kids are to be back at school and one not-COVID event in the family aside, the adults are happy too.

It has less chance of spreading if people do as asked of them . Two metres apart , wear masks , stay out of crowded situations , have less people in your home
Big gathering at family occasions is a hot bed for any virus to spread

Much more fun though attacking certain sections of society for our keyboard warriors.

No lad, you don’t get it. The few that are or wanting level 4/5 are obviously blind to the fact our country is going to be destroyed economically and the actual health of people will decline as will our mental health. We are fatigued! I’m wearing a mask for 8 hours a day if not more some days! I’m obeying the rules to the best of my ability.
We all will be paying for this every last one of us!

It will be Level 3 first. There's no point having it there if you're just going to skip it with the first bit of panic.

GazzaL · 04-10-2020 07:19PM

NPHET are away with the fairies. Mixed messages, ignoring science, hammering businesses, failing to follow EU standards. They can go **** themselves trying to punish the whole country for their failings while they sit on their incompetent arses pontificating to the rest of us.

Gael23 · 04-10-2020 07:20PM

I broadly support schools being open but not at any cost to the rest of society

Strange then we have such variability in spreading from country to country... does the virus know it's in Germany and not France?

I am blaming NPHET they’ve had far too much of a say! Not once has there been an economist on the panel! They don’t give a fûck about the economy! The government think there’re doing the right thing but in essence they’ll be creating a huge mental health disaster and an economic one
