    I don't think NPHET can be sure on the hospitals.

    i genuinely believe that secondary schools should be closed for the month of December and perhaps opened in June to make up for time lost.

    Perhaps primary can remain open?

    Yeah problem is the government have pinned everything on the schools staying open. Maybe it be worth non exam years working from home again.
    I suppose it really comes down to what level people deem to be an acceptable number of daily cases vs what remains open. Like i said the numbers aren't ideal but it would be a big sacrifice to close many buisnesses again and I'm not sure what it would really achieve given there isn't mass outbreaks from what them at present.

    I think it’s safe to say we won’t be anywhere near 100 cases by December 1st

    There won't be any easing of measures on December 1st - which is just as well as I've never seen the country busier. The roads are packed.

    Agree but the political pressure to ease back will be too much to resist

    Just announced in France that current restrictions to go on until mid January.

    There won't be much of a Christmas this year in Ireland either.

    It depends...

    The Government are fully aware that it would be political suicide if they extended these restrictions over Christmas... Yeah, I get it that the virus won't care and will continue to do it's damage etc but, for a lot of people, the image of these politicians would be of ones who "cancelled Christmas" and rightly or wrongly, that will stick.

    NPHET, they don't give a **** about our needs and wants. They have as much knowledge, skills and experience of society as a toothbrush. They'll try to get the harshest restrictions possible enforced for as long as they want

    What compromise is made out of that is anybody's guess

    At home with house parties etc. . . That's not enforceable so you're probably right. With this mind everywhere else will be kept closed.

    Preprint just out on the durable immune response to #SARCoV2 for more than 6 months, maybe years. Great news

    There is no way the government will keep restrictions until January like the French. Compare the amount of cases France has, with us with our 366 today.

    Tony Holohan must be itching to do it.

    so people are annoyed with lockdowns and NPHET. i can understand that, but I am still not hearing any alternatives. everytime i ask, i am given an answer that basically amounts to lockdowns with some pubs open thrown in occasionally.

    We could be in a bit of a pickle here if schools and the activity that takes place around them are keeping cases ticking along at a certain level. NPHET, in the job of their lives, have staked their reputation on the position that schools are a safe environment. To choose a different path now would be to give the impression that their previous conclusion was wrong and that they put people who go to schools at risk. I don't think we'll be seeing any change in their position for that reason and for that and other reasons I sincerely hope it is not the schools.

    All he was short of was riding a stallion, when he wanted Level 5 restrictions back in October the first time

    People talk of Trump's performance on the virus but WTF has Macron been up to?

    That's a disgraceful figure.

    Can they not just give it a chance? Close the schools now, see where we are at in the middle of December. If it's good then take us down to level 2:until after Christmas.

    People talk about schools being important for children, Christmas is very important for them.
