    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.

    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.


    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

    I reckon the doom and gloom merchants are fairly disappointed about the numbers coming down. They want to live in lockdown forever. The government should have sat tight at the level 3 or at least tried the level 4 for a week or 2.

    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.

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

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

    Just talking to my mother earlier today.

    She said she had a headache and tiredness the past few weeks.

    Headache and fatigue are key symptoms of covid. I don't think enough people are aware of that. Not everyone develops cough or fever.

    The more I see you post the more I think you are just posting for a reaction. Twice in a few hours you've posted the same bull**** and not once have you commented on any of the replies.

    There was no need for a level 5. Level 3 would ha e been more than enough.

    Could even be what feels like a cold as well. The lady from the Galway nursing home last week on the radio said she had what felt like a head cold.

    It's a weird virus. Mild enough that you'd think nothing of it and continue on.

    For how long would you have tried level 3? The case numbers so far in areas longest at level 3 don't support your hypotheses.

    I think we might have too many hospital beds. If we didn't have so many the hospital numbers wouldn't be as high as they are

    Level 5 was far too restrictive. I was never in favour of a level 5 last week. Level 3 wasn't given enough time countrywide. If we had to love up a level, a 4 would have been enough.

    The levels doesn't make a tap of sense now considering the government is willing to chop and change as they please. The numbers are coming down now and they could easily reduce the levels restrictions over the next few more weeks like we could go in for a level 4 next week, a level 3 the week after if the numbers continue to drop. Instead it's a level 5 throughout for the next 4/5/6 weeks.

    Seems like once they have certain restrictions in place, they're very reluctant to alter them or even remove them. The 5km rule is laughable and really taking the piss out of us all. Completely unnecessary and overbearing.

    I woke this morning with itchy bites or hives everywhere. My breathing is a little tight, but not much. Now i have sniffles a bit. Feeling a little off, or maybe just paranoid.

    I'll see how i feel tomorrow, but going to stay at home for now.

    I was never advocating for a level 5 and well you know it. I know comprehension isn't the strongest point for a lot of people here. My stance was the guidelines sould be enforced before going up levels.

    With the breakdown of contact tracing that came out in the news and the increase of numbers last week, I know why NHPET was recommending a level 5. I still wasn't cheering for a level 5.

    Wife had something similar a couple of weeks back, started with the hives, followed by breathing being tight and then the cough started. Never linked the hives to the respiratory symptoms which she assumed were asthma related but she got tested and was negative for Covid. Maybe was some other virus going around

    Yeah, there is a covid rash that can appear anywhere on the body. Glad your wife tested -ve.

    Friend of mine tested positive a week and a half ago. Contacts have been tested twice now - 2 of them including her cousin have been with her every single day before and since her test.
    All of them tested negative, twice.
    I'm very confused.

    It's all a bit random.

    Your friend should have been self isolating though.
