    Weren't you advocating for an Australian type lockdown?

    No I wasn't. I was looking at the Australian border controls.

    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.

    Was it or is it?

    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.

    That has absolutely nothing to do with what I posted.

    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.

    And loads of other things.... including being drained from the misery that is 2020.

    We were in Level 3 when you were roaring for level 5.

    I was never roaring for a level 5 and well you know it. I was posting suggesting enforcement of the restrictions with fines and border controls is what's needed

    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.

    Without level 5 very dark Christmas, etc.

    But today you are labeling everyone doom mongers.

    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

    Are people on bikes able to get by the restrictions?

    Some of the most pro lockdown people on my social media posting pictures from the likes of Howth and Bray

    People are muppets

    Course it is. Definitely isn't the young adults (highest infection rates by far) socialising etc. Nope, siree, not them, definitely not.

    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.

    She could be a false positive? Or simply isn't very contagious? Or they are immune?

    Perhaps the two contacts were already infected earlier in the year and are immune

    Were they symptomatic? Asymptomatic spread is a thing, and one of the factors in complicating control measures but not near as likely as some think l, with pre symptomatic being a far more common driver of spread
