    Schools gone

    Opening delayed to avoid children/teenagers bringing covid into school. Give suitable quarantine time for those whose parents etc mixed, socialised. They will assess and close them longer if needed.

    There is a serious lack of cop on in this country (perhaps in Europe etc too). TV ads should loop footage of people lying on hospital corridors in Italy and all of the coffins. Though the thickos probably won't pay attention to that either.

    Loads of people down through the weeks and months have been posting in this thread about how they don't follow restrictions/think it's all nonsense etc, etc.

    Don't be silly you know there has been.

    I was going to look at the thread you linked but you edited your post. Nice that you dropped the name you used as well ,wasn’t necessary.

    The Dublin numbers are slightly encouraging. But of course there's a huge backlog, so who knows.

    In the Christmas context there are also likely a lot of people with symptoms keeping quiet as they know they have broken guidelines by going against advice and are feel like they cannot present to the authorities. This could further exasperate the problem.

    40% close contacts answering the phone call after 60 % typically. Might be a factor. Also people being pressured to go to work internally or financially would be an incentive to keep quiet.

    Sure it will be extended mid January

    Christ January was a bad month in normal times, this will be even worse

    Its a horrible month but in a normal January there doesn't be much happening either, everyone is broke and tend to trying to undo some of the Xmas excesses so i don't think it will be too bad. Hopefully the weather is favourable and people can get out for walks.

    Not following restrictions? Aren't you all just great. Well done. Hope you're getting off on it and that you had a great time. No one cares about rebels, except in the head of a so called rebel. Going against the grain for the sake of it.

    so let me get this straight - you're blaming the current rapidly escalating numbers on the government trying to reduce the numbers?

    Par for the course for certain people. Nothing is their fault. Personal responsibility doesn’t exist for some people.

    I think you are targeting the wrong poster there

    On a different note, Louth, Cavan and Donegal combined have more cases than Dublin with what, a quarter of the population?,

    We all knew there would be a lockdown in January, that's why people had a few nights out when they had the chance in December. I don't get the big deal.

    Fast moving thread, fair few pages to catch up on. Couple of points, what is with the high number of close contacts. Are people really spending 15mins within 2m of 30 odd people in the last 48hrs. I don't think I've even meet 30 people in the last month through work and family.
    Secondly, given the swab numbers, the cases arent as bad as I thought they'd be. Lets wait and see now what the in's and outs of this level 5 are. Construction and childcare are the 2 that I'll be watching out for.

    Some people took the fair piss with it tbf. A few nights out would be one thing, I've had people im friends with in Instagram out every night of the week with a different set of people and at a different bar.

    Imo, the ones who went out for a few meals/drinks over the few weeks is grand, but some took it as a I haven't been out in ages, let's go out every night before they lock down again

    Restrictions were being mooted before the last 6 week period had expired but if it gives some pleasure to blame others so be it

    Perhaps the restrictions would have been less draconian, if people had not. Also there might be less people being admitted to hospital as a consequence of the big rise infections. So to people who followed the guidelines the present situation might be a big deal to them.

    They won't, sure read some of the posts on here over the last few weeks.
