    Really time to start opening up. 5km should be scrapped immediately and construction reopened.

    From what I can see,construction is open all over the place. LOTS of people ignoring the 5k rule. I have to travel for work and on about 10 trips from Dublin to Wexford/ Waterford areas in the last mont or so I have only been stopped once at a checkpoint.

    Not at all. The government will use that scapegoat for as long as possible

    It can't be used when it's not true.

    Wonder if the plateau was related to the increased testing of close contacts?

    This question about buying oversupply of the vaccine again.

    It’s really not rocket science as to why we’re buying more than we need.

    Weren't we running on a pre determined timetable at the time? Cases rising before restrictions lifting is evidence that the population was acting ahead of the government (shut what harm will me doing this do??) The "be grand" attitude strikes again.
    If anything is taught the government to keep the population in the dark for as long as possible, simply because a huge proportion of people cannot behave.

    Why aren't we doing antigen testing.
    Where will be in two weeks.
    Why did we buy so many vaccines.
    When will x be vaccinated.
    How is the priority groups for vaccinations being set up.
    When will we know when we are opening up.

    The questions I've already seen today that I've heard last time I watched one of these.

    Changing the narrative to suit new information? lol.

    Changing what narrative? It's not the first time I've said that the population are ahead of the government regulations and that's why we can't get dates for loosening

    It's also evidence that people were going to do whatever they wanted at Christmas

    Yeah and that guy was a clown for suggesting that we were under house arrest. FFS, hyperbole of the highest order.

    if it went about

    15/3 - 350
    22/3 - 220
    29/3 - 160

    Obviously schools are the wild card here but we would be about okay to let us start moving again in April even though we know the government (rather than NPHET I suspect) will cast as dark a cloud as they can lest they "do the wrong thing" (in their own minds) again. It could be their reaction to the Christmas **** up that keeps us lockdown rather than the actual case load.

    No you are claiming it's evidence that's your opinion nothing else. Anyway I'm not replying further to you as you incapable of polite exchange as evidenced by your behaviour towards another poster today. Hopefully the mods will examine your posting history.

    Probably as important now is to overlay the hospital/ICU numbers as these are also dropping fast and that is more of an indicator of progress - in another 3 weeks a large portion of 'vulnerable' persons will have received at least their 1st vaccination (which we know from UK has a high protection on its own) so, arguably by April they should find it harder to make excuses to maintain the lockdown (that's not to say they won't try - UK variant etc is on standby to keep us in).

    They only mention that on Thursday.

    One of the journalists trying to spread the narrative that the covid vaccine causes male infertility.

    If the progress continues on these weekly case loads, those in hospital decrease and the positivity in testing stays well below 5% we should be in a position to move into level 4 restrictions for April 5th.

    Pathologist has sadly confirmed that those 4 still births from last week were as a result of covid-19.

    I presume there will be posters here apologising for their posting that called the guarded cautious statement from Glynn as scaremongering.

    I think this has already been covered previously on the thread. AFAIK the date of November 22nd is more to do with how HIQA picks a date where it determines one phase of the pandemic to be over and for the next one to have begun - i.e, for reporting purposes and surveillance the second wave ended on November 21st. November 22nd was the start of the next reporting period, but it doesn't mean that in real terms the actual third wave began on that date - cases still fell from where they were on the 22nd of November until the beginning of December. Cases were 318 on November 22nd, on December 3rd it was 183.

    Interesting that Glynn is now pleased with 48% feeling the worst of the pandemic is behind us. Such attitudes have been rebuked in the past!
