Joining up with Czech & Austria, whether you like it or not it's coming and if EU countries lead we will follow as we always do.

So the strongest European economy is going to enter into a closed economy arrangement with just two other countries. One of which that doesn't use the Euro as it's currency lol
Funny Friday.
Bye bye.

We don't have hotel quarantine set up yet so what is the point of the list.

Multiple people getting stopped with dental appointments in Lanzarote avoiding fines..

It's all so badly thought out and pointless. How is a foreign dentist essential when kids can't go to school.

That's too much effort. Just pick a grave to visit in Lanzarote.

I think closed economy is better, take away those risks.

We're going miles off topic but you realise the definition of a closed economy is one that doesn't trade & is self sufficient ??

Yet your suggesting that there's EU countries such as Germany that are going to be practicing as closed economies.

For someone who claims to work in supply chain you haven't a clue what a closed economy is

986 positive swabs from 18,841 - 5.23%

125 more than yesterday from 1634 additional tests

That’s a little disappointing. Was hoping to see lower numbers than that this week

I believe they will partner up and go that route yes.

Like some pacific countries are doing, closed economy is better than no economy

Is it true we'll be the longest country in Europe living in this type of lockdown?

A Supermarket shelf stacker works in the supply chain tbh. Important work too and don't get any recognition.

There's a bunch of countries longer than Ireland in Europe.

You've been led down a merry path. Using LoLo instead of RoRo is not a closed economy.

Strawman argument. Irelands economy would be 100% open and trade would flow with some adjustments as it always has.
This is the equivalent of when you say "hotel mandatory quarantine" they say "detention centre".

econostrum.info What are the key advantages of the LoLo system in comparison to Ro-Ro?

Julio Martínez Alarcón: According to the comparative study of operating systems that I coordinated (1), the advantages of the LoLo method are both economic and ecological. Overall, it is generally a less expensive system, but only if it is included in a logistics chain that integrates rail transport and concerns high-volume cargo. It is a more sustainable transport method than Ro-Ro, especially as it is combined with rail transport. Limited CO2 emissions are therefore guaranteed. The LoLo system also offers a higher load capacity and promotes rail freight development policies.

For high value perishables use this......rolo? after all yolo. &#55357;&#56834;

They can't do that because it would collapse. Carry on nothing to see here. :eek:

Seems like some have had enough of it all.

Variations and the resumption of testing of mass testing of close contacts and at risk people's.

The vaerage is still falling though week on week despite these increases in testing.

Any reason why the gov hub page has constantly been showing total positive rate 6.5% the past week?

By far and away. No other EU country comes close.

I believe that is the positive rate on all tests conducted since March 2020, so naturally it moves quite slow

There are several euro countries that have been in lockdown for quite a bit longer than us. Denmark, Germany, Belgium, Netherlands to name some of them.

All of these countries locked down prior to Christmas.

So you're dead wrong.

Not really an apt comparison. Comparing Ireland as a country to other countries is a bit like comparing a parish to a county and then pointing out how things were different between the parish and each county.

I can barely work out which restrictions are being enforced here, never mind what ones might or might not be enforced anywhere else..

Non essential retail closed, majority of hospitality closed. People have been fined for being 5km from their residence without reasonable excuse.
These are just off the top of my head.

Depends on how you view what a lockdown is these countries.
Even at there peak of infection over Christmas they still had more of there economy open than Ireland have now .
To be honest I don't think you realise how much is actually open in other eu countries compared to Ireland.

Ah here. I'm the google mobility data guy. I probably have more of an idea of that then anyone else here.
We have neither the strictest lockdown nor the longest running in the EU.
