Tbh I think even discussing that hate-filled wench Gemma is giving her too much oxygen. Would be far better for everyone if we just ignored her completely.

Are you surprised though, throughout the last 8 months they've done everything possible to blame the public and never address their own failings. Its actually a real eye opener into how the Doh and Hse is the mess it is. You have these career civil servants who've worked their way up to the top of the tier and have long lost the ability to be objective or have a critical view of their own house.

This is exactly the attitude he was referencing. Take responsibility and stop blaming a third party.

Caught sight of the Six One news featuring a Galway retailer in tears at her clothing shop about to close. These are the sacrificial lambs for the oversized incubation chambers known as schools. The Government are an abominable disgrace.

Lots of gut-wrenching images of businesses that were flooded this morning as well. Complete devastation with only 2 trading days left before they're forced to close.

Has anyone a link to the graph showing Covid deaths by actual date-of-death?

Perhaps also the ages, underlying conditions, whether a nursing home/hospital environment, and whether they were admitted to hospital with Covid symptoms.

Not only am I paying a mortgage but I'm also renting a house from a prominent poster in these threads, because I'm a front line healthcare worker who can't risk transmitting the virus to a vulnerable person in my home. You know nothing about me, my life or anything else for that matter so don't even pretend like you do.

So I guess you're right I am pro Level 5. I'm pro level 5 because I see the impact high levels of transmission has on our health system and the people who staff it.

Nice try making it personal, by the way

Working in a Hostel doesn't count as a Healthcare worker

Only 21 in Donegal today? But I thought level 3 didn't work?

Oh, it doesn't because Level 5 will work way better in 2 or 4 or 6 weeks! Donegal are at Level 4 anyway.

This strategy of gardaí asking people to break up there parties is completely toothless. There needs to be a deterrent to holding a party in the first place.

Maybe a call to the ESB guys to cut the party house's electricity.

Politically and health care related. I think Manchester will disobey the level 3 restrictions.

But they are also screwed with bed capacity. I used to work over there.

And what point are you trying to make exactly? Of course the Gardai would have to impose the fines.
I’d also give the homeowners/ tenant an additional fine for every party attendee.... it’s about time we grew some teeth with the deviants who we can all thank for their behaviour that has landed us back in miserable lockdown.

OP was saying Gardai imposing fines is toothless. this would be exact same thing with a greater fine. I'm not convinced either would work unless people know Gardai are regularly enforcing and don't think they have enough resources either way

The good news:

In Israel, the first to impose a 2nd lockdown:

1. Surprisingly, the 2nd lockdown worked faster and more effectively than the 1st, despite being less tight

2. The effect differed across subpopulations, suggesting that differential policies may be effective

The bad news:

Israel closed schools in the 2nd lockdown.

They could be on a 7 day bender and everyone fully recovered and detoxed after it before half a dozen ESB vans arrive to do an inspection then say they will be a back in 2 - 12 months time to flick the switch to cut the power. If you are relying on ESB you have already lost.

'Taoiseach suggests to the Dáil that 'clinical validation' is continuing as to whether antigen testing, which is quicker than the PCR test used for Covid-19, may be used more widely in Ireland'.

Fingers crossed, antigen testing is the way forward once we get our cases down and backed up by PCR testing.

What intern did she steal credit from back in the day to get any kind of reputation in the first place. Thats what I'm still wondering.

She's clearly had some sort of breakdown, she's gone completely off the rails.

Make no mistake, the schools will close in November. They are already making shapes about it. Unions will force the issue.

The unions will be the ones making the decision, make no mistake...some unions have way too much power here, yet any staff in retail who are unionised are very poorly represented

Israels second wave was quickly stomped out as it was realised that most of the rapid uncontrolled growth in cases were among the orthodox jewish communities, who could be quickly then separated dfrom the general population. Small amount of people causing a big big problem. Case growth was not high or anything exceptional within the general Israeli population.

This group the orthodox jewish community was also responsible for massive spread of the virus in New York city.

They value all traditions of their religion even if that means close physical contact and sharing of objects in favour of modifying those religious behaviours because of covid.

The past few days were so depressing with the weather being so wet and winter and early dark nights looming and now a lockdown with so many places shut.

I'd be lost without my hobbies. I have enough to keep me going for 6 years, never mind 6 weeks. A lot of my hobbies are solo interests like knitting and cross stitch. This will keep me going.

Hopefully others will find some interests and dig into some hobbies over the next few more weeks to keep sane.

It doesn't seem wise to be poking an already agitated public at this time.

Spanish Eyes · 20-10-2020 07:36PM

Assuming the level 5 lasts for just six weeks (sceptical but hopeful lol) is it to end on 2 December or what does anyone know?

Are you good? I want something made, and I'd pay well.

ICU admissions growing by over 600 each day in the European Union, 1/3 of total capacity will be occupied by COVID patients within a week and a half. I don't know what average level of occupancy of this total is during normal times,but 1/3 of that total being occupied by covid patients is surely a massive strain on the entire continent either way

Most mainland European nations are now approaching about 1/3 or so of their April peaks in terms of ICU/hospital admissions and deaths..we are a good few steps behind

They asked during the presser because Leo said everything would go back to level 3 in six weeks and Tony VEHEMENTLY AGREES with everything Leo says!!!

It was hard to watch.

They're already talking about further lockdowns (or extending this lockdown) at Christmas and in January. We haven't even started this one FFS.
