As a result, no point in the rest of the country waiting to see if level 3 works. Just delaying the inevitable. Level 4.5 coming tomorrow I expect now.

Took a while and a bit of fighting for the HSE to agree that the teachers are close contacts however. With one student case the HSE refused to acknowledge that a few students were close contacts so they got tested on their own accord and were, shockingly, positive. Wasn't counted as a school outbreak though. Surprisingly I haven't seen the school on any of those lists that people are making of schools with confirmed cases. Would rather not say which school as I know people there but still, it is spreading within schools. Teacher friend in said school and another in a different school in the city said classrooms are fine, its when they leave the classroom is the problem and during lunch they line the halls, masks off etc. This whole "Children are safer in schools" is bs as we all know how fast viruses spread in schools.

But somehow it’s the schools are the problem?

Believe me or don't, I've no reason to lie about it anyway and pretty sure people know me on this forum by now but regardless, makes no difference to me Once I see the school appear in those lists I will update the post. Was mainly just to say that schools aren't invincible

I wonder are businesses just throwing caution the wind now with level 4-5 restrictions potentially looming over them are they just trying to bring in as much business as they can until they close again for who knows how long. Just to confirm I am in no way condoning it if they’re breaking guidelines.
