    are we going to find out the 26th November what the plan is for the 1st December?

    I doubt it, nphet will advise to remain at level 5 as its the only plan they have.

    They didn't though. When this kicked off in January (on boards, as opposed to whenever the original virus surfaced), there were what, 20-25% fatality rates reported? Those rates turned out to be way overestimated thankfully, but they did not know that at the time, and they did nothing. When Lombardy was overrun, and doctors were having to decide which patients to treat, and which to let die, there were people still coming and going on their skiing holidays.

    Governments will never forget the horror that unfolded in Lombardy and will thus respond appropriately to any future novel virus.

    The point is what is known now, not what was known then.

    It would appear Dublin buses are the new drinking spots.

    More drinking onboard than not.

    Group of youths on way into city centre discussing the vaccine, no way am I taking it said one....the other said he'll wait until people take it first....

    Town itself was full of small groups drinking bottles of cans, in fairness most just 3 or 4 people,

    But certainly you can feel the sense people are ready to explode, people in need of big session by the looks of it!

    You'd better tell RTE because they mentioned it on TV and Radio.

    Hospital cases would be practically zero if it weren't for hospital outbreaks.

    You have a scientist, yes. Dr Fauci in the US, Dr. Van Tam in the UK.
    Not the CMO. Witty in the UK isn't even rolled out some days.

    Which of the three countries you mentioned is doing better do you think? Ireland, the UK, or the US?

    Also Dr Fauci hasn't been allowed to be the sole figurehead relating to Covid advice in the US, contrary to the wishes of the CDC. Dr Brix has been addressing the public too, and Trump has been constantly speaking over, interrupting, and in general undermining both of them, contributing to an incoherent response to the pandemic in the US.

    Yeah, lots of young people drinking pints and meeting in groups, no social distancing etc.

    But it is outdoors, and I have seen this even during the summer. I don't think this is particularly risky behaviour? I don't know.

    Jaysus, that looks freezing. Someone should tell them they will catch a cold out in that.

    Gardai investigating a funeral in co Roscommon two weeks ago, sounds like a few more than 25 people in attendance there.

    (apologies if posted already)

    Are you allowed leave your county for a funeral? I presume if it is a very close relative yes

    You are allowed go anywhere in Ireland to visit a grave at the moment so I would say yes

    The deaths in some parts of small town America are staggering the last few days, South Dakota saw 42 deaths per million today..equivalent of over 200 deaths in a day here. Unfortunately I think this winter for America will prove just how nasty this virus can be if left uncontrolled and confirm that it was only restrictions that saved us from pretty devastating death toll here. Based on current trends in some states it really would not be surprising to see America's death toll hit north of 500,000 by late Winter

    Careful now, some on here believe if they were tested for covid it would pick up the common cold even though they are different RNA.

    Gonna be scary with thanksgiving next week. We sometimes forget thanksgiving is bigger than Christmas in America.
    I know Canada said they experienced a surge due to thanksgiving there (10 days ago) but it's hard to see as they have been having increased cases.

    Criticize NPHET/Government all you like, but thankfully our second wave has only been slightly larger than our first. So many countries worldwide are 5x the numbers.

    Where I am in Dublin, takeaway doing a bomb, and some, only some, bringing their pints to nearby side streets where the few lads are braving the weather (though mild enough tonight) sitting on walls having their fresh Guinness.

    Admirable in one way, and finding it hard to think it's that risky in the open air. But deffo, since Level 5, a new 'habit' forming of groups of outside drinkers. And it's not particularly good for local areas so I hope we can get into the pub asap.
