It is reasonable , it is what is being done , and it is even more reasonable as we were so cautious last year to expect that after the experience post Christmas and the prevalence of a more transmissible strain of the virus that that is what is going to happen .

It is painful but while people are fed up , and complaining vociferously about it , most people are adhering and will continue to bide by restrictions , as many of the polls have shown .

There's no point discussing any further if that's your view. Have a good day.

No they are not doing the same again. That’s exactly the point. Society is Opening up slowly bit by bit. children are just back at school this week. Their education cannot be jeopardised again.

I understand it’s frustrating but we are so near the end of this. People just need to hang in there a bit longer.

Ahh here are you having a laugh :pac:

Well good for you !
Have you polled everybody else in that group to see if they can mind themselves and are not concerned about the high risk of serious illness and death ?

Why not go to level 6 lockdown until everyone in the country is vaccinated? Surely that would save as many lives as possible?

That's exactly what they're doing? Giving us nothing for another 9 WEEKS and then going to Level 3 maybe? There's just going to be chaos at that stage and people will be abiding by the restrictions less and less.

Yep , and maybe won't need that that stage .

Ahh thought you were not discussing it further ?
But seeing as you are

Who said anything about level 6 lockdown ?
You don't seem to be reading posts that others put up properly if you reply with knee jerk answers like that , so am finished with this particular " discussion " .
Thank you ..goodbye ....

"We're all in this together", the popular refrain of the dim. Unfortunately reality is not that prosaic. Some have yachts, others are paddling canoes and the rest are drowning. And those drowning in debt cannot afford to hang in there a little bit longer.

Yes,3 businesses closed in one street where I live in the last couple of weeks,definitely more to come,it’s very hard to hear posters here preaching about hanging in there,when obviously they have a job and a income to rely on.

So if level 5 is reasonable, why not level 6? Because the Government haven't proposed a level 6?

Something tells me if they did you'd be straight on board with it.

Yeah I don't have the self control to ignore sheep-like mentality, I apologise.

people are going to get a fright when they see what the shopping centres and the main streets look like when things do "open up"

If you are referring to me, you are incorrect in your assumption.

RTE - "NPHET to recommend two visits a week to nursing home residents"

It is nice that they want nursing home residents to get two visits a week, but they should concentrate on how many are allowed instead. Unless, of course, RTE can't get a headline right.

So anyone who disagrees with you has a sheep like mentality ?

Professor Philip Nolan is currently explaining the data in his weekly half-length lecture.

Am I the only one who thinks that, even after this NPHET conference has concluded tonight - it will continue, at least for Philip Nolan, in replication of what we saw with Father Austin Purcell at the end of that particular episode.

Berties_Horse is the "dimmest" poster on this forum . Constantly wrong with every prediction and anyone who disagrees is a NPHET puppett. He also famously said this would be over in 2 weeks. A ding bat living in fantasy land

In fairness, goldengirl gives a good insight into the health care situation while offering much more pragmatic views and ideas than many of the ‘experts’ that plague the mainstream media all day long.

I like to dip into them from time to time. Today is the anniversary of the infamous NH declaration by the CMO!

That was very longwinded and monotone.

How many times will Dr Glynn say 'In the first Instance'. He has said it twice so far without having been asked a question.

We really do have the most uninspiring leadership at the helm at this particular moment in time. Not one of them actually makes you want to listen.

I've said it before but after 10 seconds of listening to Glynn, it makes you want to reach for a bottle of whiskey.

And you can double that dose when Philip Nolan is speaking.

Holohan doesn't possess an energy surplus either.

Uninspiring leadership isn't even the beginning of the problem.

This should be enough to open up to some middle ground...outdoors dining, no travel ban, outdoor sports- especially for kids, clik n collect for shopping- already doing for food. Any easy win that can say to the county...we're heading the right way
