Can we not just declare Rté a biased amateurish news source and be done with it?
We are a nation of slow learners, they've been at it for decades.

We need level 2 for Xmas.

If cases are actually going to start trending down now I can see us into level 3 in 6 weeks. Then maybe level 2 a couple of weeks after that and through Xmas.

Then its back to square one though because our health service is absolute ass capacity wise.

I really don't think they should open the pubs and restaurants for Christmas. It will be carnage. They will have to allow people to visit friends and relatives though. Well, even if they don't, people will do it anyway (quite rightly)

For balance here is the Germany situation today:
R=rate 1.23
6000 infected in Hospital of which 1000 are in intensive care
8000 intensive beds are free so no panic.

Plenty of free beds means no hysteria.
People are still eating out, going to the gym, shopping, etc.
There are just reasonable restrictions like masks in shops, public transport and pedestrianized zones.

If we had 8,000 ICU beds available we would still be in lockdown as the intention here is that no one should die of/with Covid. Any other cause is ok, just not Covid.

Yay. Further staff self isolating. Relying on bank nursing here. We are running out of single rooms to keep the covid patients in as well.

Can you point to an independent source for this information please?

Tensions were needlessly heightened by her carry on, people were socially distancing just fine before she intervened.

If I’m out and about working, my sandwich is being made at home, night before , put in a cooler bag with drinks, a bar, dessert, whatever. Any idiot can accomplish that ! Why the fûck would you in the middle of a bastarding pandemic, want to be Qing in a Spar, Centra, O’Briens, Texaco, Circle K, or wherever deli, when you can invest TEN minutes the night before getting a sandwich made and cooler bag ready with your stuff... sambo, drinks, dessert etc....

Fraction of the price and none of the danger of Qing in a deli.

Go to Victoria if you want to experience what restrictive measures really feel like. A heads up, you will be forced into a 2-week mandatory quarantine on arrival, something that doesn't exist as a requirement on this island.

What part of Europe is Victoria in?

Can someone explain why a comic book shop on mary street, Dublin is allowed to open but not a clothes shop?

How are comic books essential?

Where on earth would you get an independent source on the staffing levels today at a nursing home!! I can tell you how many staff we had out last week due to being close contacts and being told to stay home. I can tell you how we covered those shifts but you certainly wouldn't be able to find that information anywhere else!

rte lets face it is a mouth piece for government and whatever agenda they go with they are not independent

I would imagine they’re not allowed to open.

Have you reported them?

Dublin is also dropping but too soon to say if its a trend.

But level 3 has been in place for 5 weeks so how can you say they didnt give it enough time?

It wasn’t enforced. It was only guidance which is a big issue. If it was enforced eg actual fines etc it may have worked. Even retail with doors on to street could have been left open to reduce people in shopping centres. Or perhaps they are closed to avoid people travelling to them ?

I never suggested they report the shop.

The Gardaí have discovered a shebeen down in Clare. Taps, kegs, a pool table, a dart board, beer mats, Beer, a moonlighting barman trying to get out a bathroom window. What absolute vermin. Setting up a drinking den where the only thing you are guaranteed to be served with your libation is death wearing the grim cloak of covid19. When will people realize they fun + Covid19 = agonising Death. The science is settled.

Was out shopping this morning. Many more shops open than I expected and plenty of shoppers around. The people are ignoring lockdown after 8 months, who can blame them. With so many having no symptoms, so few in ICU, even fewer dying "with" Covid the whole thing has a ring of the Emperor has no Clothes.

You would think they would work on the 14 day rule especially in an environment that has high risk patients.

I can blame them. They’re being selfish cnuts. It’s the same people who will be responsible for us potentially not getting out of level 5 in six weeks, and they’ll be the very ones whining about it then too.

Nope. To be fair, they don't allow you more than 2 feet inside. Their desk is at the entrance so they're basically doing takeaway comics. Perhaps they're not breaking a rule with their setup?

I think it's crazy we haven't considered setting up emergency 'Covid only' field hospitals, to stop this from happening.

'It is understood the patient, who was sharing a six-bedded bay with elderly patients, was free to roam around the communal areas of the hospital unit.'
That's shocking, he developed symptoms on Friday but didn't get swabbed until Sunday...

I think they will just escape this one, there are a lot of people pissed off and there is some civil disorder. I think things will kick off for one night at Halloween though.

When the January Lockdown kicks off that will be when things get very messy. I have never attended a protest in my life. I am angry now but passive. In January I won't be passive.

From Wales. Seen another picture of Tesco with Books being covered in plastic sheeting. No Newspapers though. We cant be upsetting the media.

We are all recommended to buy local, simply because our businesses are suffering because of the ravages of Covid.

Who in God's name within the HSE decided to source the Vira Pro Hand Disinfection Gel from Turkey ? where they apparently have difficulty in distinguishing between methanol and ethanol.

Are the production methods for ethanol unknown in Ireland ?

Follow the money, deep dive into company structure and ownership and I suspect link to politicians would be established.
