Is that allowed? Fly to Dublin too?

Cork's 14 day incidence rate stands at 110.56 including today's figure of 53 cases.

The growth in 14 day incidence rate has slowed now due to the 14 day incidence rate only now counting the period of higher cases we've noticed in the last few weeks.

Cork's 14 day incidence rate is now lower than the national 14 day incidence rate which stands at 115.2 cases per 100k.

I think it's sorta encouraging that we haven't seen it shoot past the 60 range.

Really makes no difference, 3 or 5 they are damned for it now. Mixed messaging is going to cost them big time.

May not be allowed visitors to your home under this. Level 3 says 1 household but they are apparently reviewing this.

53 in Cork today

I thought that too but then I looked at the chart they have on rte and it says allowed but with extra restrictions. But like where do we find out what these extra restrictions are?

You would imagine that we will know in the next hour, not very fair on that industry not knowing whether they need food to open tomorrow or not by now.

2m between tables mandatory etc etc etc
The stuff the restaurants claim isn't feasible.

How does this affect restaurants? The government website just says "additional restrictions for indoor dining". What form will this take, less seats? And hotels are now only allowed serve residents is it? There isn't a lot of people staycationing at the moment so they won't have that many to serve.

That will be very good IF they enforce it. That is vital if we are to stay at 3 IMHO.

I think that's the nail on the head right there. There is no point moving up any levels if the majority of the public won't bother adhering to the restrictions.

Back in March/April, this was all new and people were scared enough to keep to the restrictions laid out by the govt.

Now there is far too much apathy and people have (in their own selfish minds) decided, "I'm alright Jack" and go and do as they please, vulnerable people be damned. They continue to do so because there is no enforcement and therefore why should they inconvenience themselves by limiting social interactions/wearing a mask etc if there is no direct/immediate consequences to them personally...

We could probably have all stayed in Level 2 if people had all done their bit.

Level 2 or Level 5. It makes no difference without compliance and right now the Irish public seem to have little appetite to comply therefore rather than the "carrot of fear" making people comply, the "stick of enforcement" should be put into play

Yes stricter enforcement on large gatherings and house parties is needed

Doesn’t really make sense to me that Dublin is level 3 and areas like a Kerry (rural areas) are also level 3....Anyway not easy decision I’d imagine...

Mayo has the lowest incidence in the country and Donegal the highest, yet both counties will now be at the same level. Very unfair.

I think many people aren't doing their bit.

For example, we had posters in this forum happily mentioning how they were in An Brog / Voodoo for hours on end and no food orders taken over the August bank holiday weekend.

Now I don't think they put 2 and 2 together and realise that their behaviour is dangerous to anyone though, to be fair.

Truth is a major section of sod costs have given up.
They want to treat covid as the flu, just let it run through society and accept the collateral deaths that follow. Most seem happy on the knowledge that it’s just old or sick people who will die so it’s “acceptable” sacrifice for society to make so they don’t have to wash their hands, wear a mask or miss a piss up in the pub.

Of course its possible to distance, people just don't care.

Indeed, last Wed

Dr Ronan Glynn 'optimistic' about Dublin stabilising but 'no evidence yet' to move to Level 2

Numbers worsen a tad and Tony comes in recommending level 5 nationwide.

To be fair Paul Reid tweeted a balanced response but all these lads are working in the same circus.

Zardoz

It seems this move to Level 5 is primarily due to a shortage of ICU beds.
The country only has 277 ICU beds, which is 5.5 per 100k of population .
The European average is 11.5.

80% of this 277 capacity is normally filled with non Covid-19 patients so that only leaves 20% capacity and half that is currently filled.
Sweden a country with a similar ratio before the pandemic, doubled their number of beds in 3 weeks.
Ireland added an extra 25 beds in 7 months.
Other wards are lying empty.

55 beds for Covid patients is simply not enough, lockdown or no lockdown because there are just too many stupid and selfish people out there who won't behave themselves.
The incompetence beggars belief.

I'm not a fan off GAA but I think it's a good thing for people to do the one thing I've to say tough is most of the stuff I've seen since they returned haven't been great.

Another thing I've seen badly done is funerals. People go to line the street or be outside the church. They then all stand on top of one another and few decide to pop into the church to say hello.
