    Say it could go to 3 by end of May or start of June if over 70s are vaccinated alright. Just wouldn't expect any significant loosening until then.

    Would hope a bit quicker than that p. I’d say a month between Washington levels so level 3 mid April

    This in spite of testing all close contact now. We will see a good reduction in 1 to 2 weeks or so. Contact tracing will break more chains of transmission. Important to remember we were in a mitigation phase

    I'm not talking about cases - government. That weird and wonderful backlog keeps people guessing on cases! 5,7, and 14 day totals are far more stable and useful.

    Absolutely, but I can't help being cynical about the mysterious backlog and how it tends to turn up when restrictions are being touted.

    These are the people literally in charge of this, the ones who are actually making the decisions.

    Who else should people be listening and reacting to if not them?

    Honestly my opinion is people shouldn't be reacting to anyone. Just take this as it comes. It's incredibly difficult but honestly the flip flopping projections, pronouncements and predictions are far, far more damaging to one's mental health in my opinion.

    Maybe that's just me. But being told we might have festivals back by September only to be told two weeks later that we probably won't even have nights out back by Christmas, by the same person, is utterly soul destroying. I find myself wishing that I hadn't read either comment and I highly doubt I'm the only one. Point being, it could easily flip flop again as these people just have no idea what's coming down the line and are trying to react in real time to a rapidly changing situation.

    Ergo, I stand by what I said. Leo & co haven't a clue what's going to happen in a few weeks, let alone by the end of the summer. People should try not to allow their flip flopping from hope to doom and back again to wreak havoc on their mental health. My advice is to switch off for a bit and check back in later once a clearer picture has emerged.

    You have just put a day's worth of posts on this subject in a nutshell. Well done.

    It's clear now compliance is dropping fast. Barbers and hairdressers are doing house calls, sun bed places open by the back door, gyms busy and house parties still happening.

    Clear how? By the consistent reduction in numbers of new cases?

    A lot of people seemingly no longer care about covid cases.

    Why do you so often come back with this type of response? It isn't a competition. The nation isn't going to decide that hairdressers are or are not working on the basis of what's posted on boards. It's bizarre how some people posting on here believe that their lost actually influences what the populace thinks.

    I know of a hairdresser who is doing nothing due to the lockdown, I know of a young lad (friend of my son )who is flat out cutting hair.

    13% of the country are over 65. Who the f**k are these vaccines going to? Are they being hoarded for HSE employees?

    My auntie has had both jabs, she works in Admin ffs. A friends missus has had both jabs and she is on maternity leave, not due back until the summer.

    I live in a place where everything is open. Guess what? There is a consistent reduction in the number of new cases too, for weeks now. So in ireland its the restrictions that are responsible but in all the places around the world without them and falling cases its...?

    Can anybody remember the date for over 70's that was given at the start of the year?

    I think it was end of March. So It's gone to April.......May........and now June.
    It won't be long till we see a date in August mentioned. :mad:

    I answered your post that you knew two hairdressers that were working . Is it not allowed to post my experience ? Or is it just yours that is important ?

    Stephen Donnelly also said everyone over the age of 70 is set to have received their first dose of the vaccine by the end of March, with most also getting their second dose by that date.

    The four I know thankfully have partners still working so they are ok for now
    I know its a huge struggle for so many of them and mortgage and rent to pay
    Its truly not easy for so many and I guess they have to do what is needed to keep their heads above water

    Passed the tattoo shop in my town today, I could hear the distinctive buzzing of a tattoo gun.

    Not that I care too much, if both are wearing a mask and neither have symptoms it's probably grand.
