    Absolutely.

    It is but 500 cases could easily be 1,000 in 2 weeks time if we let it get out of control... Importantly we have just 75 patients in ICU and does anybody have the hospital numbers? I'd be confident that they'll be down on yesterday

    Tell that to Leo Varadkar, have heard him on numerous news bulletins today warning of new waves and using words words like concerning numbers and precarious situation.
    The down playing of any easing in restrictions is worrying. Feel like they're building us up to a fairly meaningless announcement next week.

    Something has got to give though because the majority of people have very little left in the tank at this stage. And I’m saying that as someone living with their parents who have yet to receive the vaccine (hopefully won’t have to wait too much longer for that)

    Given that an awful lot of the population have already moved to some sort of level 4+, I'd hate to see what compliance will be like in 6 weeks time before the next easing date if they don't give us some sort of return to normality next week.

    Why are they so slow to acknowledge that more cases in school is as a result of children being in them (and spreading it between them)?
    They’re quick enough to blame people over the age of 18 who keep further away from each other indoors....

    Nolan made the same point. They don't know if there are more cases at the moment or if they are doing a better job at finding cases.

    I don't have specifics but know 3 who were under 25 needing hospital in Cork, I'm sure there is more in other counties

    Is there a full detailed hospital stats, ages in hospital and ICU with Covid19 etc.,?

    Every so often they show up.

    Details of underlying conditions aren't included in them which the previous poster is asking for.

    Some people here seem to have the notion that boards is representative of society.

    It's not, far from it.

    People in this bubble get the notion that everybody believes what they believe and it couldn't be further from the truth.

    So your 'laughable', is quite frankly, bollocks. I know loads of people who are sticking to the vast majority of restrictions. The 5km is too restrictive, Glynn isn't referring to people who are breaking that. It's crowds who are meeting up that they're talking about. I doubt Ronan Glynn is that fussed about someone going to meet someone in a social bubble if it means they're breaking the 5k.

    Well where I’m living in past couple of weeks have seen a lot more visitors to houses than previous.

    535hp8.jpg

    The first bar in each group shows the first shot- the second bar the second shot - many are still awaiting that. . Cohort 4 - those under 69s at very high risk have just started to be vaccinated. Apparently this is a large group.

    https://covid19.shanehastings.eu/vaccines/

    So yes case numbers as a indicator of likley hospitalisation going forward remain an important tool in pandemic management.

    How many are we talking about? Where I live it's as quiet as its ever been.

    I'm not denying people are flouting the restrictions and quite frankly I don't care, but the idea that's a widespread thing because a couple of personal trainers-turned mental health advocates say so is a nonsense. The vast, vast majority of people are adhering to it, despite getting increasingly frustrated.

    Exactly what that post was saying.

    Don't take the whole country to be represented by where you're living (although 'a lot more' is very subjective).
    Much as we hate it, many are sticking to the current restrictions. And as he said, Boards, or this forum, isn't representative.

    Asking Glynn about that figure of 6 second doses last Sunday, Glynn says that looks like an administrative error to me, Gabja still goes on like he never said that.

    She then turns to Nolan - you said to the Taoiseach that we'd need to get down to 100 etc. Nolan told her that he never said that to the Taoiseach, he also told her that previously, but he has to tell her again anyway.

    where are you living because it's an exception and I'm not talking for the sake of talking. I walked the dog tonight and saw a cop car drive slowly past about 15 teens sitting at a closed shop.. They were not doing star jumps and personal training so kudos on your neighborhood resolve because you are indeed an exception to the rules. either that or you work nights and the 29 other houses are mental during the day when you're not being jimmy Stewart in rear window.

    You can be as cynical as you like but he is not the exception by a long way. This area is like a ghost town. Nobody has had any visitors other than those with needs that require a support bubble. The most there's been is a chat across a garden wall when neighbours are out for a walk. I would venture that your scenario, is not representative of the entire country.

    I work from home so here regularly. It’s an open estate so very easy to see what’s going on when I’m working. I also speak to work colleagues every day and, you know what, it’s the same on their estates.

    I’m sure there are places where breaching restrictions is the norm but there are an awful lot of people adhering to them, far more than Boards posters would have you believe.

    go way out dat, boards posters are not repressive of society when it suits you. define an open estate? aren't they all open? or you mean yours is an 30 house cul de sac in the middle of nowhere? well I'll be snake bliskin!!
    Drive along Clontarf on Saturday morning from 10am onwards and you're in for a shock. All those cars aint local! sure how would you know? you're working from home and you don't leave the house nor do your neighbors in Pleasantville FFS! because your work "colleagues" say so!! ok yea.:rolleyes:
