Agree there should be a larger men's section.

Not everyone can afford expensive clothing. I don't find the quality of the clothing to be much worse than other affordable but still more expensive brands like H&M.

Every single piece of data points to schools not being a big driver of infection rates.

There is no definitive proof to back and suggestion that schools are safe.
It's all blaming every case in community transmission or saying the parents pick it up and passed it on to their kids.
No proof of that, no tracing either.

Prepped one of my shops for closing today, I'll finish it off tomorrow when I've put the stock from my other shop into safer storage for the foreseen future. On top of that I was to have an exhibition running in the Seamus Ennis Centre Nov/Dec, can't see that happening

I'm very fortunate to have independent (not a large corp.), generous and considerate landlords. Most SMEs don't.

This year these coming 6 weeks were as equally important to a lot of SME retail businesses as xmas itself because money coming in now would go to suppliers in order to take stock in for December. That's as simple as I can make that without getting boring about the current state supply chains.

I don't want to get into a business V. national health debate. There's a Michael O' Leary for every Tony Holohan on here with better formed arguments for and against than I can make at the moment.

But there's one thing that's bothered me for the last few months- this government took their foot off the diesel. Since about July the re-enforcement of the message and the enforcement of the measures of what was to be adhered to and why seemed to dissolve. That's not to take away from personal responsibility- but if a nation is to behave in a novel way for a period of time that requires continuous guidance.

Hopefully the government aren't going to spend the next 6 weeks having farting competitions staring at numbers on Worldometer but figure out what they can do better at the next lowering of levels to give guidance and maintain adherence of what that level requires.

tldr: I'm gutted, mad as hell and blame the gubberment on all my woes.

Just heard Niall Boylann saying that 2021 is gone, these yoyo lockdowns will last all the way through 2021, he said some minister practically admitted it - is it true ?

caveat emptor · 20-10-2020 09:58PM

Hospitalisations marching on. RBB made some good point. The WHO keep saying we need systems. We just plod along.

Re the €500 fine, when stopped by a guard, what's to stop somebody just saying they are visiting a grave? You can visit a grave in Dingle, Donegal or the Aran Islands.

Only in Ireland.

The obsession in here over RTE is very funny in fairness.

Any idea where Ireland s death rate is at compared to previous years?

Down on average over the last few years. April is outlier in 2020. Since then deaths down to bring whole year below average.

Edit all months up to end of June complete. Other months still have the to register. 3 months.

It looks like it. Great strategy fitting of a Frankenstein government constantly trying to hang each other. I 'd say after a few up and downs we might have to address the problem as opposed to "trying to live it".

Anything I ever bought in Pennys has to be XL as it shrinks so much in the wash, I have one Jeans from Penny's it bled so much dye on its first wash that it ruined two towels I had in the same wash.

Thanks for the honest post. It cannot be easy. I can only wish you good fortune in 2021.

I agree, the government dropped the ball all summer long. I think they lost hearts and minds with the Clifden party. They also did not prepare the hospitals for the Annual winter onslaught + Covid19. It seems criminal now that they took 5 months to actually form this coalition. Lord knows what they were doing in those negotiations.

I don't know that governments have been explicit in stating that 2021 will see continued restrictions of varying severity - effectively on-off lockdowns. But I have noticed in the last few days that leaders and scientists over Europe have been managing expectations about a vaccine. Even if one is developed this side of Christmas, the latest I heard today from the WHO guy on newstalk was a prediction of around a year for mass production and delivery to anyone other than the most vulnerable.

2021 is for sure not going to be normal. I just hope that we are not consistently at anything worse than level 3
