Was the buy in to the "rules" expected to last long term??

In your mindset it's to be expected.

The vast majority use their common sense and follow the rules and have zero issue doing so.

Always a small minority of ignorant and selfish people out there.

If they stayed at 1000 cases a day it would take over 3 and a half years to reach herd immunity of 70%

That's based on positive test results. We really can't know how many people have had it already and just passed it off.

Yep but it may not stay at 1000 a day..Presumably not catching every positive case also

A question... Since a lot on here seem to be opposed to a lockdown. What daily numbers would warrant one?

For me it's 1,000 cases a day.

unless they have some way of enforcing compliance with not gathering in houses, then any further lockdowns are pointless.

im not suggssting they should have these powers

Nah, was just saying that the most of the nation has a brain, so they will do what's needed to keep hospitals going, economy going. You are giving out about curfew which is not even happening yet. Anyway responsible peeps will pay the tab of few tools at the end.

So, change of tack, anyone who disagrees with curfews is brainless. BTW the other poster called for a curfew and I argued against it, I'm quite well aware that it hasn't happened yet. I'd also bet my house on it never happening.

1. Do you have any idea of how many streets there are in the country?

2. Again, we have the moral blackmail approach: agree to a curfew or whatever else we want or you have no respect for society. or as another poster put it, a scumbag.

At this point, I'm out. Enjoy your Saturday

Also means their testing capacity is unable to follow up on all close contacts. You'd need a capacity of 15,000 a day at least, which they don't have.

Oh look I know this is your approach to anyone who challenges your narrative but your virtue signalling nonsense on a anonymous forum doesnt really worry me.

Bottom line is the buy in from the public was never going to continue indefinitely, that was mentioned last March.

Irelands citizen's had the harshest restrictions since June, when most of Europe was "off the leash" so to speak.

I think what we are seeing is to be expected

Strong links with both British and Irish far right groups.

We should learn alot from them.

There'll be plenty expirement. We'll learn about mass graves and unemployment, and how borders are arbitrary when you're only detectable at quantum levels.

Which countries in Europe are "off the leash"?

Not changing tack. You are trying to suggest there will be massive civil obedience, if curfew will be imposed. And I'm saying nope, there won't be. Simple. I'm out, not up for word games. You knock yourself out tho and play

Kermit.de.frog · 10-10-2020 02:48PM

That small fella, Justin Barrett, at the 'protest' leading the Irish National Party is kinda funny looking.

Don't pretend our restrictions were not longer than most of Europe, right or wrong they were. You can't dispute that.

Boggles · 10-10-2020 02:52PM

There is a few countries in Europe that will be going back on the leash sharpish by the looks of it.

Nope, never suggested that. The time-honoured, misquote and step away.

HI’d just add, if the health system can’t function and you under 95 year olds have a heart attack, fall off your bike, break a leg, get cancer or anything else (including COVID) it also won’t be able to treat you very easily it’s it’s constantly overwhelmed.

Suggesting that we can just stick our fingers in our ears, and say “la la la la! Everything is fine!” won’t make COVID go away.

The unfortunate reality is it’s here and we have to manage it, at least until we have a viable technical solution to it.

I’ve been beating this drum almost from day one.. but I think people who are not understanding are not wanting to understand.

All of them.compared to Ireland right now.

Bars, restaurants and cafes shut.

Even "central Scotland " has not imposed a blanket shut on dining right now.

Rural Scotland is relatively business as usual.

NPHET give no consideration to the fatigue of relentless restrictions, and insist of using a lack of transparency to ensure adherance

Germany, Italy, Denmark, Norway, Greece. None of these countries have nationwide restrictions preventing free travel. None of these countries have restaurants and pubs shut.

Fatigue isn’t caused by restrictions, it’s caused by covid. Call me old fashioned but I’d rather be fatigued than be seriously ill, dying or watching a parent or loved one in that situation.

Fatigue is also worrying if you will have a job next week, wondering how you will pay the bills, worried about your family. This cannot be overlooked.

Not good at all, but that has been the trend this week. Hopefully, Dublin is still stable.
