Give over!

Nobody wants the case numbers to stay High nor live in lockdown.

Yep.

While other posters have been throwing parties about positive signs that I feel has a big cloud over them.

there's a bizarre campaign on here against anything perceived as negative the last week or so.

Were you expecting numbers in Dublin to be lower?

I was expecting lower numbers because we often see a backlog build up over the weekend. Mind you, with level 5, there is not much to do at the weekends, so maybe people were happier to work overtime. Anyway, hoping for decent swab numbers tomorrow.

You lived abroad, what an odd thing to bring into the discussion.

Yeah you spent 400e socialising 3 nights a week, not crazy at all. Supplementary costs on nights out add up.

If you sat in your local and spent 400e solid on booze 3 nights a week as you appear to be claiming, there were no good times, you were a fall down drunk.

I think the two of ye need to form a social bubble, get 400euro worth of booze and ride the ****e out of each other.

Yer sexual tension has derailed this thread for hours.

I think we will decay by 100 cases every 3 days, do the math.

Can we see your calculations?

I can't really tell which side you're trying to satirise.. was "decay" intentional? As in, the number of cases will go down?

Away With The Fairies · 26-10-2020 07:50PM

What's going on in Dublin to have such high numbers, around 250 for a few weeks. It doesn't look as if it's dropping.

SleetAndSnow · 26-10-2020 07:52PM

Donegal staying steady at around 50 cases a day too bar one or two days. 3 in a row above 50 now again

The first part of your post is pure nonsense. If you could point out one person that is disappointed case numbers are coming down or can show anyone wants to live on a lockdown forever please do but I think you will struggle.

On the second point maybe if it was another time of year the government could\might have waited a week or two more to see how level 3 was working.

How would you feel after them two weeks if they didn't work and they has to announce 6 weeks of restrictions all through December?

Turtwig · 26-10-2020 07:54PM

Folks

Level 5 isn't even a week old yet.
We've no swabs data today.
It's a Bank Holiday.
We really should not be making any inferences from today alone.

The thread is riddled with alternative fact fantasists.

If you dare post anything but fantasy 'positive' news you automatically love lockdown and are a fear/scare/doom monger.

I'm awfully disappointed in the numbers coming down. I love having to restrict my movements, not being able to bring the kids to see my mother, constantly working at home and having to cancel several holidays.

Christ what planet are some people on?

Oh so now it's how much I drank. Lol.

I remember a couple of times when a bartender kept me on my own on a bottle of gin and would tell me when I'd drank a full bottle.

I drank gin when I got fed up drinking guinness. Always at least ten pints before I went on the gin.

Not to mention the crips.

Density, schools, and retail. I'd say by Dublin being a much younger county schools would have more of an impact. Also there is less of a "shock" impact from the imposing of new restrictions then in the rest of the country since Dublin moved to level 3.5+ 2 weeks before the other counties

You’ve gotten some negative responses to this but I agree.

I saw a poster yesterday suggesting the solution to people waiting on hospital trolleys is bans around alcohol, restrictions, curfews etc.

Sadly there are a number of people that love to have restrictions imposed on others.

I’ve seen numerous posts about our “drink culture “ and how we need to use Covid to “change” things.

I’ve also seen posts by people laughing off job losses in the hospitality, retail, entertainment and tourism sectors. The word “Upskill” was used. Because apparently everyone should aspire to be a lifelong public servant.

Of course its how much you drank. That was always what I was questioning. As I stated in my very first reply, 400e for 3 nights out is not crazy by any stretch, taxis, entries into clubs or concert/match tickets. Food. A few expensive bottles of vodka/whisky for the table. Easily done in one night out let alone 3.

But you seem intent on claiming you personally drank 400e worth of alcohol every weekend. But then also claim you didn't have a drinking problem. So as I've said many times. You're delusional. I'm unsure what that delusion is though.

What in the godforsaken name of sweet Jebus has this to do with Covid?

Today's numbers just shows the exponential growth that is often talked about by the experts. These numbers are going to keep on climbing and see-sawing about the place.

I said a few weeks ago we will be seeing a 1000 cases a day soon but I estimated halloween time. I never would have thought to see it so early in October.

Now I know the reason why NHPET was pushing for a level 5 last week. To get the numbers down as much as possible before the Christmas otherwise it will turn it a very dark Christmas for many people and families.

Why are folk fighting over how much they can drink in a week in a Covid thread?! Bizzare!

Level 3 doesn't work. Will need level 5 to take effect in a week or so to start to see drops.

Are the drinks with or without a 9euro meal? If it's without then both posters should be BANNED

I hope level 5 works. We got it down before so it can be done. But not sure about the schools being open.
