I hope so. Societies work better when people know their place, The People’s Republic of China is a great example we could emulate . Of course fines will need to be thought of to keep people in line, who is afraid of a dog with no teeth?

Depends Paddy. Could the dog **** on you though. I'd be afraid of that.

Im basing it on the logic that the restrictions were so slow to be realased last June/July when there was excess capacity in hospitals. I dont know what metric was being used then

I assume the metric they are concerned with is hospital capacity now, which is always at maximum capacity during Winter/Spring.

Applying that logic, we are where we are until next Summer.

Agreed, im looking for a new job.

Pissing people going off to work and hauliers is not clever. We need to start being a bit more nuanced. Clearly most people on the road at that time are going to work or hauliers. If we inspected work places we could prevent unnecessary journeys if that's the concern. Also how many nurses and doctors might be stuck in that or people who have essential journeys to make.

Also Leo getting called out on his talking point sh!te. i.e Lies

The country with one of the highest incident rates in Europe supports a zero Covid approach.

A bit like saying Venezuela has a zero tolerance for crime

Nonsense hair splitting. He lied about an all Ireland approach though because of the border. NI Assembly Health committee supports it. Or perhaps you'd say what is Northern Ireland? Is it a different country or is it the UK. How can a country be a country if there is no frontier? How far north is actually north?

It's much more than schools, it's many other things. A whole lot more travel internally and abroad, communions, funerals, house parties, dinner parties, GAA & soccer clubs, people not isolating, contacts not isolating. Even if schools are a vector the intense focus on them suggests that cases can be identified and isolated a lot faster than elsewhere.

I think there needs to be a rewording on the narrative in the media that its 'house parties'. That conjures up ideas in people's minds that its only spreading via drunken gatherings at 2am in the morning with music blaring.
Any gathering in a house could cause the virus to spread if people aren't careful, whether its a chat over a cup of tea and biscuits at the kitchen table or a few bottles while watching a match on the tv.

I can see riots if we go to level 5. The public shouldn’t be made suffer because of our health system is sh*t.

Stage 5 would last until we flatten the curve again.
While at stage 5 we draw up new laws to deter people from doing the stupid stuff that's causing the surges.
We warn everybody that their futures are spending a lot of time at home if they don't remain careful, wear masks, wash their hands regularly and social distance.
I heard for the first time only yesterday or the day before that a politician called for a meeting between north and south to try and come up with a shared approach to battling this thing. I've been saying this should have happened since the beginning.
Non-covid healthcare should improve during a lockdown and make it safer for those people. Obviously those needing treatment have underlying conditions so we are trying to make things safer for them too.

We need to close the schools immediately. It won't cause that much disruption as they are getting a mid-term break very soon. Having the lockdown encompass the mid-term break would be a very smart thing to do.

No evidence of schools causing further outbreaks ...

This is from Spain, but I'd imagine it's similar across the world.

They are all examples of exactly this. Some of it I see as people just letting their guard down and being happy to see each other and some of it is at the very stupid or couldn't care less end of things.

Has really gotten out of control over last 10 days or so. Anyone know what there cases are per 100,000 over last 14 - must be twice what we are?

Yeah the 7 day is more than double ours but we are on our own trajectory. If Northern Ireland was a country in Western Europe it would probably be highest.

And they're saying they support a zero covid approach? Shutting the stable door after all the horses have well and truly galloped!

sideswipe · 07-10-2020 02:13PM

I'm seeing and hearing so many people suggesting a circuit breaker before Christmas so we can all eat, drink and be merry over the festive season. That would be a huge waste of a lockdown IMO.

It would mean people going straight from a lockdown to doing everything we've learned gives oxygen to Covid's accelerated spread. We could quite possibly end back in the same or worse situation for the rest of winter into spring.

Hotels are for essential workers only now afaik.

Essential stays, I believe. So if, for example, rain is pouring through the your roof, then you can go stay in a hotel in your county while it’s fixed. My understanding is that it is up to the customer to attest as the essential nature of their stay

I think they are saying they'd like an all Ireland approach.
Remember we don't have a border so this thing tends to migrate.

Did all the 48,000 people that the uk forget to contact trace because they got lost off the excell sheet, live up North? Anyone know more?

England only. Public Health England related error.

When we went to Phase 3 of the old roadmap back in June it was remain within your county or within 20km into another county if you live near a county border. Is there a similar rule this time? Quite difficult for those living in rural areas near other county boundaries.

Cluedo Monopoly · 07-10-2020 02:25PM

Leo has always been excellent at reading the pulse of the nation and working with his PR team to put a nice spin on his thoughts. I am not sure Mr Martin is too impressed though.

Watching the Dail earlier, Alan Kelly and Roisin Shortall were asking excellent questions but getting no answers.

That is unbelievably high
Next highest in all fo Europe is Netherlands at 30 per 100,000

wtaf are they at up North? How is it spreading faster in the north than literally almost the entire world? It's literally probably the highest incidence rate on earth
