the 5KM thing is ridiculous. It means MORE of us are crushed in smaller spaces, especially in built up areas! I hike in the mountains, on my own, I go to forests, I swim in the sea..... all outdoors, all healthy.
In level 2 and Level 5 in the Summer I had to pound the pavements in my local housing estate and the streets round me, bumping into people with kids, dogs, buggies, bikes.... often having to get onto the road to create some space. The local beaches were like walking down Grafton Street......
It was far more dangerous for everyone in terms of virus spread and will be the same again. This does not work in built up areas!

Absolutely, if they bring back the 5km, there will not be compliance. What is wrong with people going to a scenic spot for a walk outdoors? Instead of all cramming into the same urban park on top of each other.

How about changing the approach the next time we reopen and close off licences and leave the pubs go about their business with measures in place as a controlled environment.

Household transmission and loose inhibitions with alcohol on board is the spark that is fueling the fire.

Said it before, I've felt safer in a bar/restaurant than anywhere else that wasn't my home.

The measurements and implementation were top notch and I can't fault any of them.

Yep, I'm the same. I go on my own and I'm not near anyone. Won't be complying with it this time

I've no argument with you in regards the safety and indeed the genuine health benefits to lone outdoor pursuits, but they introduce those distance restrictions for a reason. What do you think it is? It's not to stop the likes of you undertaking a safe, lone activity. It's to dissuade morons travelling tens of kms for handbags or visits or other unnecessary bullsh1t. Unfortunately you can't go and do your safe pursuits as a result of these morons. I can't say my own estate was jammed with walkers during restrictions, even though we have a little landscaped park. It was the same people we met on our walks throughout as we always have.

South Africa have done just that, and made masks compulsory outdoors now, both good ideas imho

That would be a disaster

Imagine the amount of alcoholics with withdrawal clogging up the hospitals at the time figures increasing

The 5km thing was ignored by most people in the last 'lockdown'. Excuses are simple and the Gardai know it.

Feck that, personal responsibility has to come into it. I have to work during the pandemic surrounded by hundreds of people and you want to take away my bottle of wine on a Friday evening :mad:

StevenToast · 29-12-2020 08:11PM

The last 2 weeks were crucial but now the next 2 weeks are even more crucial....I suspect the 2 weeks after that will also be crucial.....

What pubs would be allowed open though?

If the keep the BS rule about a €9 meal and own kitchen many towns will not have any pubs open again

Can't see wet pubs being opened before the summer unfortunately

You can go without a bottle of wine for a couple of months. Stock up if it will affect you that badly. The other way is saving a lot more jobs in a controlled environment.

Makes more sense to me.

I live in an apartment complex Dublin and people to be piling into apartments with crates at the weekends.

Whats the difference between me going to the shop for a pizza or some women going to a shop for a handbag, both are non essential and both make full all difference. The fake outrage on here is embarrassing.

Depends.

If are like the Marty Miller's of this world, I'd go with mine.
If pubs in your area were throwing their arse at it, that's their fault and shouldn't base everyone else on them

The time has come to roll out the leak and get him to address the nation with one of his lord of the rings poems with plenty of pauses thrown in for effect.
Confuse the fcuker then asking him if midnight is the end of the day, the beginning of the next day, or both.
What a time to be alive

You are dead right Mimon, off licenses will stay open if every other source is closed. And they won't open hospitality for a while now.

Were you awaiting a Covid test whilst going for a pizza? That's probably the difference

If you were in several that were a disgrace, did you not think maybe I should stop going. Did you leave the ones that were a disgrace by any chance.

All pubs and scrap the nonsensical 9 euro food rule. Keep the rest of the rules.

Yeah, that's just utter stupidity on their part though.

If it was a healthy person though, what is the difference

Do something about it so. Knock on their door, give out, call Hoolahoop's Office, whatever.

You can eat a pizza.
You can’t eat a handbag.

Did you read the article in the IT where they interviewed passengers on these ‘reparation’ flights? Students coming home for Xmas heading home to Drogheda was one of the travelling parties.

Repatriations my hole.

Was a bit of a joke indeed. Should have been restricted to essential reasons, really essential.

You’re both selfish. ;-) Although you’re both supporting jobs and the economy.... I’m confused now.
