    It's a well known saying "Doctors orders". Not literally orders per se.

    Consider yourself educated me boy.

    I do consider myself to be educated and I also know precisely what you meant in your post.

    This, it's an unbelievably divisive time in our history. People seem to be firmly on one side of the fence or the other and adamant that their viewpoint is the only valid one. A viewpoint 100% driven by their personal circumstances. The correct approach is probably a middle ground that will ultimately leave most people dissatisfied. We need to be aligned with Europe instead of going out on our own by introducing draconian restrictions.

    Great post. The amount of posts that are completely dismissive of the other side as if there is no logic in the other argument is ridiculous. The posts saying "delighted Tony got a slap", "NPHET should disband", "the government are clueless" are not doing anything to help.

    There are no solutions. There are no easy answers. The powers that be are trying to choose the least **** option and all options are really, really ****.

    It's an absolute spectacular rejection of public health recommendations whatever way you look at or whatever opinion you might have on it.

    But to be fair the Government need to be given a chance to explain their reasoning and what that reasoning was based on.

    Here is where we need strong journalism if there is a press conference.

    We will probably get the usual Halloween / Wedding questions though.

    Ha.. strong journalism? Not while there's mindless panic to spread.

    I wouldn't be surprised to hear that we are going to level 3 but one additional measure taken from level 5 will be enforced "as this is the reason nephet wanted level 5"

    Almost every citizen in the country is helping to spread it, that's how the virus works. Can you honestly say that you have stuck rigidly to the restrictions?

    Yup, and then people to have the cheek to go look what we're doing to their mental health by stopping them socialising. Why should I care about their mental health if they don't give a **** about my physical health or my parents physical health.

    Saw a group of 40+ year old women on the lash around town the other day. Stupid selfish 40+ year olds, bellends!

    Cop on with the student bashing. Im a student and following the regulations, as are all my friends. Its 50/50 as it is in practically every age group. Just the focus is on students, as ever

    Huge questions now about this government. If they can't accept the advice of NPHET they aren't fit for office.

    Any player who plays while exhibiting symptoms should be banned. Life maybe not but 3 years might be the necessary kick in the hole to focus the minds on the bigger picture here and now.

    On the topic of the GAA, my kids do camogie and while the local club and coaches are amazing, social distancing is nowhere in sight. While we're all avoiding one another like the (literal) plague, training sessions are full on, contact, group huddles, the works. It seems so strange my wife is spaced 2 meters apart, limited to 6 doing non contact dancing while GAA is a free for all.

    I think if we've learned anything lately it's that the government can pick whatever level they want up to and above level 5; it won't really make any difference without enforcement for those who just won't be told.

    I don't want to live in a policed state but it has become obvious that self regulated guidelines won't work and restrictions will need to be enforcement or else open up and let it rip.

    The ones who keep coming out on the wrong end of restrictions are the ones that obey the rules- the business owners trying to stay afloat, the workers trying to earn a crust, the parents wanting to get an education for their kids, these people and many more will do all they are asked but it's futile unless we are truly in this together- without a stick I feel we never can be, I'm just not sure if going down the enforcement route will ultimately be a price worth paying with this thing when even with a vaccine there is no real end in sight.

    There is no room for cute hoor culture in a pandemic.

    Sports associations need to step up and go zero tolerance on this "ah sure it'll be grand, nobody will know" nonsense. The virus doesn't give a fck that your village hasn't won the county championship in twenty years, and the goalkeeper is just as likely to spread it as anyone else.

    Harsh penalties for breaching guidelines will put an end to this sh1te and allow the games to continue to go ahead.

    Remember all the wailing when matches were banned because of congregating before and after?

    They were dead right.

    I agree, you’d have though the ‘won’t somebody think of the kids’ and the ‘mintal health’ crusaders disagreeing with you though.

    I think by now everyone knows what you think of kids and mental health.

    Honestly not having a go at you, but if that's the case and you're obviously not all that comfortable with it -why are you sending your kids to camogie at the moment?

    It takes away places for people to gather. Not for everyone but for some, who clearly are above sticking to the measures we've had in place.

    You'll never get the numbers down with schools open. They have to stay open but I just can't see how they can. The teachers will refuse to work soon anyway

    I'm a student and have followed every single recommendation. Why should people like me be blamed? Idiotic way of thinking. Bizarre, honestly.

    What measure could that be?

    Will they sacrifice schools, health?

    The government gave NPHET the remit of controlling the spread with 2 primary factors above all else, keep Schools open and health care operating.

    NPHET come out and say given the trend and rise in numbers we need a month "circuit breaker" if you need those 2 things to operate fully.

    So it's no ones fault, NPHET are doing the job they were asked to do.

    So the question is what has changed?

    If Tony explained today, that we can guarantee those 2 things can remain fully operational unless we do X, Y and Z.

    Has the government changed tactics on what they see as essential?

    Yes. It's all being blamed on young people and everyone forgetting about all the other social events like communions etc

    Nphet's job is to offer advice it is the job of government to weigh up that advice with other factors.
    You seem to be confusing the meaning of advice and an order.
