    Surprised they're not moving Donegal to Level 4 here to be honest. It's ridiculous to have Mayo and Donegal on the same level when Donegal has TEN times the incidence rate.

    But like many counties, Donegal or the other top infected counties weren’t in the news a while back. Most had small numbers and then just seemed to snowball.
    The counties today with low numbers could be the very same way in a week or so.
    Bloody curse of a disease!

    Yes, NPHET is focused solely on the national health.
    Where does that rank in your estimation?
    I'd rank it the same as I would rank the economy, mental health. All are interlinked.

    Neither is anyone else.

    That is true too but we hearing more about students, fact is everyone needs to play their part, all ages


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 28,136 ✭✭✭✭Strumms


    So if the government can discount NPHET's advice, can we not follow the gov's advice?
    Advice is advice right. Take it or leave it by nature.

    If I have a spare 40 grand. I want a new car. My mechanic mate of 15 years experience says the Hyundai Santa Fe, he’s a mechanic, he owns one his second one.

    If I take a look at the Skoda Kodiak SUV, cheaper, not quite as nice but I go for it, a year later I realize it’s a plastic unreliable flop and I’m back to the garage twice....

    Who is responsible ? My mechanic ? The Skoda salesman ? Nope, ME... I had the expert advice formed by expertise and experience. But I for whatever reason said no.

    Similar situation here, government need to put their ears to the medical men and their loyalty to the citizens

    Have you looked at level 3? We're pretty much shutting down the hospitality sector for the country.

    We're not ignoring you dope.

    Which will achieve absolutely nothing


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 39,553 ✭✭✭✭BorneTobyWilde


    What is level 3
    Need a summary

    In summary no need to bulk buy toys, pasta or bogroll.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 92,394 ✭✭✭✭JP Liz V1



    So no staycations, stay in our own counties unless essential work travel now

    Hopefully its a no nonsense approach

    Well done the Government for not bowing to hysteria driven merchants like Sam McConkey and factoring in peoples' livelihoods. Some actual leadership shown at last, the NPHET puppet strings have been severed.

    Does this now put us up with the Trump and BoJo administrations in ignoring the medical experts and scientists ? Rarified air indeed.
    Have we lost the right to ridicule Trump for ignoring Fauci ?

    With a lower infection rate than many countries in Europe, we have the strictest restrictions. We're hardly doing a Trump or a BoJo.

    Rainy pints

    Level 3 is '' as you were''
    Nothing in it whatsoever, no changes.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,479 ✭✭✭landofthetree




  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,569 ✭✭✭Icyseanfitz



    So really no bloody difference to level 2 for 3 further weeks :rolleyes: good to know the government are listening to the experts ffs

    Likely to take longer, need legislation that won't come in today one would suspect.

    No team sports 😂😂

    Just watching Virgin News and it was spelled out clear as day we fecking needed more ICU beds. Why the hell did we not do that for the last 6 months. One of the Biggest spenders in Europe on health service and worst ICU capacity. Should rent the private hospitals again like in May Jun Jul to cover us.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,762 ✭✭✭✭stephenjmcd

    Eh well there is, no more fans allowed at sports, reduced numbers at funerals etc, hosptiality sector essentially closed. Restictions on nursing home visits also.

    Some of it might not affect you but there is changes.

    Your looking at 150k+ back onto the dole overnight


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 39,553 ✭✭✭✭BorneTobyWilde


    Total cop out, Level 3 will have zero effect.

    T-TOTAL LOCKDOWN WEEKENDS would be a better bet. Lock down country every Friday at 11pm, Open Monday at 5am.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,595 ✭✭✭✭CIARAN_BOYLE


    Any word on when we can expect today's numbers?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,480 ✭✭✭Blondini

    Well there a a lot of differences for counties other than Dublin and Donegal

    I'm not allowed go near campus. Stuck at home. But we should be blamed.

    You are going in a couple hours a week ago as part of your courses blended learning according to yourself, and if UCC have decided to stop blended learning they haven't updated their site
    https://www.ucc.ie/en/emt/covid19/timetables/

    So take it your course has just moved to online only?

    Friend has an interview with DKIT for an open.position on Wednesday; The interview is taking place on campus.
    Labs are still taking place there for veterinary etc.
