    Remember they said that as soon as R number is below 1 it is essentially under control ?

    I do.

    So plan is slight lift of restrictions for Christmas and then back to LVL 5 in January ?
    And then what ? LVL 5 till April, and yoyoing between levels for the next xxxx years ???

    No one said that

    Fair fcuks to them, hopefully others copycat and the public reciprocate, subject to social distancing and table service etc being adhered to when they are open.

    If they require hospital treatment they will expect it and receive it, as they should.

    Of course they will and should - even if they have been selfish idiots, that's what a caring society does.

    All that is being asked at the moment, is that everyone tries to be a responsible member of society and have a bit of due regard for others :)

    Yes, exactly. There is no limit on how much McDonald's or sausages people can eat yet when they end up in hospital from obesity or cancer as a result of such dietary choices they expect treatment, as they should. It's the same for Covid.

    He's a good journalist, very fair and balanced - I read every article he writes, one of the best commentators we have.

    But he has a passive aggressive way of asking questions in the briefings.

    Poor Donegal. Went to Level 3 on 25th of September when had a 14 day incidence rate of 159.6 per 100,000. Went to Level 5 on 21st of October with 14 day incidence of 320.4 per 100,000 population.

    Now after three weeks of Level 5, 14 day incidence is 300.9 per 100,000. Some fluctuations in between but dreadful to see rates this high despite such restrictions. Double the national 14 day incidence rate.

    Next highest county for 14 day incidence rates is Limerick at 201.1 per 100,000.

    I never thought I would see the day when the government of Ireland would tell our children not to come home at Christmas. They should be utterly ashamed of themselves.

    Why would they be?They should be ashamed that we’ll educated Irish people have to emigrate out of necessity, as Ireland can’t provide enough jobs or opportunities for our people. Nah, so telling them not to come home for Christmas is neither here nor there. Anyways, it’s a damned if we do and damned if we don’t topic thanks to covid.

    Donegal east is very infected. The west is not. People in eastern regions are flicking across the border to shop in the north, where all retail has remained open. So, ain’t no lockdown like a Donegal lockdown.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 26,827 ✭✭✭✭Strumms


    Why? On current trajectory, we are looking at 2559 deaths "with covid" in a year. Pithy to be honest and not justifying another lockdown.

    How many people by your logic died ‘with’ a bad heart, ‘with’ cancer, ‘with’ cystic fibrosis... ?

    If a medical professional deems that a person died ‘from’ or ‘because’ of covid I’m happy to go with the opinion of an informed health care professional , the doctor who signs and completes the death certificate therefore registering the death... date, time, details of the deceased, certified cause of death... if that’s decided to be covid...they have died of covid, not with it.

    You can die ‘with’ your family, your chihuahua, your pet parakeet, you die ‘from’ a medical condition.

    How come the other border counties are doing as bad then though? You'd assume same behaviour in all in regards going to the North to shop

    Not sure that retail is really a major driver of infections but I’m sure there must be other cross-borders factors in play especially if it is east of the county as you mention that is most affected. Or should I say infected?

    Precious landlords. I'm talking literally a price of shít so old it's BER exempt property with mismatched furniture, a green bathroom suite and a moss strewn yard to the rear. 500 quid a month in the backárse of nowhere, a petrol station and church 17 miles away, next stop Dublin. "Strictly no pets". Would you fúck off with your notions pretending your property could possibly get any worse. I'd love to make note of all the strictly no pets houses and message them in three months when they're inevitably still available and say "looked at this three months ago but was precluded from viewing, g'luck with that".

    Urgh...

    Are you in the right thread?

    Maybe the other counties are obeying the restrictions?

    I think another poster correctly pointed out that the other border counties are not as linked to their cross border neighbours as Donegal is.

    Derry is second largest city in Northern Ireland and very close to Donegal border. Many who live in Donegal work in Derry. (And likely socialize too.)

    There is some cross border movement in all border counties but I think it is even higher in Donegal as the other border counties as don’t have such a large urban centre so close.

    I heard a GP from Buncranna or Lifford talking about it today, and he said it’s rampant in the general population in eastern towns of Donegal and basically said it’s the non essential border hop trips that are driving it through the roof. Now being on the frontline, I’d say he has a great insight into the drivers of the numbers there.

    I'd say the Derry effect has a big impact. It's the 3rd biggest city on the island and is a big draw for workers and shoppers in East Donegal.

    People going to Enniskillen or Newry would be going to much smaller towns in comparison. They aren't nearly as big a lure for shoppers.

    I think its Linford which is literally right beside Strabane which has a huge supermarket and people probably rrason to themselves that its still within 5km?

    A lady (60ish) on the six one news was interviewed in Donegal. She said they had no option but to travel over the border as their own shops were shut. What a prat! She just didn't get what the restrictions mean. How would she manage if she lived in somewhere like Athlone and couldn't nip over the border to Pennys?

    You beat me to it, the rest of the country has to make do without non essential shopping but not them. Just because they can doesn't mean they should and the figures up there are proof of their behaviour. I don't care what they normally do, we're not living in normal times.

    Lifford and Strabane are stuck together and are practically one town. Don’t think could fault population there for doing a supermarket shop on other side of border as their local supermarket could be on other side of border and wouldn’t make less sense for them to drive further away to Letterkenny and would be more risky in terms of spread to different area.

    I doubt the cross border supermarket trip could be considered a breach of restrictions in that particular twin town but the non essential shopping trips are debatable.

    People want to be safe. People want to be kept safe. But a lot of those same people don't want to be inconvenienced in any way in being safe.
