    Open up all outdoor activity . Give people something to do . At the moment we are forcing people to mix in each others homes.

    Open up all outdoor sports . Allow families to meet outdoors.

    Otherwise we will be in the same position at the end of April

    This x 1000000.

    But wont happen becasue of ... "its what happens after and before matches with gatherings blah blah blah"

    "And the second thing that we need to bear in mind is that it's often not just the sporting event itself, or the mass, or the particular event that people are attending that causes the virus to spread. It's all the stuff around it, it's people meeting up after matches to go to somebody's house, or in the car together, that's where the virus spreads, unfortunately.

    Do they usually give that breakdown? I've never seen it before, would've been very interesting previously.

    They seem to give it some of the time anyway.

    Here is the previous period.

    Interesting to note that we have 20 more over 65s admitred to hospital in the last two weeks compared to the previous period.

    14 day EPI report

    https://twitter.com/hpscireland/status/1376451440835764225?s=19

    I've heard so many people asking for the full age breakdown of deaths and ICU numbers and it's been in the 14 day rolling EPI report all along?

    I've just been looking it up and the death breakdown by age might be a relatively new addition to the report in the last couple of months. It's very interesting for anyone who had wanted to know just how many deaths and ICU admissions there has been for younger cohorts.

If provided an epi report I'd be told that's admissions in the last two weeks who says that's a typical 2 weeks. Or the stay in icu matters. 18 year olds go into icu for a day while 80 year olds linger for months. The number of icu admissions don't matter.

    Information is missing when it doesn't support your point.

    Its not very worthwhile at the moment. 16 icu admissions in 14 days. 5 in one age cohort and and less than 5 in 6 others.

    In the previous period its 13 icu admissions with less than 5 in 8 different age cohorts.

    Its important to note how many of our current icu cases seem to be legacy cases. No more than 29 icu admissions between 3 March and 27 March.

    Apparently checkpoints are back on the motorways so maybe it’ll be county restrictions?

    Pathetic if so

    In Spain at the weekend there was 5000 people at a concert.

    In Georgia last night there was fans at the football.

    Neither are known for having steller performances with vaccine rollout.

    In the UK with 57% of adults having received first dose and just 6% having received 2nd dose they are rolling out an unwinding.

    Here we gearing up for 6 weeks of much the same.

    Yeah, it's nonsense why they can't release the same day in the same way each day?

    It just opens you up to accusations of being disingenuous.

    The examiner and a few others reporting this morning regarding what opens when. Appearently this will be signed off by cabinet tomorrow.

    April is pretty much as we know it to be already, its been set out for weeks.

    May - non essential retail, hairdressers, barbers etc

    June- hospitality

    Why is it "pathetic"? Should counties with low covid numbers have to suffer from the consequences of an influx from those with high numbers?

    Just posted this on the restrictions thread.
    Checkpoint outbound on the N4 again from this morning. Looks like theyre setting up for a few days / weeks.

    Very convenient that its there the day before an announcement - Id say its to stop a mass exodus from Dublin this weekend - meanwhile us ordinary working people will have to put up with hours of delays trying to get home.

    Disgraceful that theyve went back to this sh1t while we`re on the final stretch.



    Its a **** show with this lot!!

    Apparently these next set of restrictions for 6 weeks so taking us to mid to late May

    Hospitality will need to be pushed beyond June Bank Holiday anyway

    Couldn't be open for a bank holiday

    Indo speculating on countrywide travel in May

    Couldn't see that happening but would love for that to be true

    Hardly unexpected from a clueless, spineless, regressive and utterly useless government.

    FF even rolled out one of their goons the other night to tell us this is a new virus.

    Does this new virus exist in any other country?

    Don't think so.

    Would be nice...but this the quote I took the outdoor hospitality impression from from RTE article..
    Taoiseach Micheál Martin will also set out a plan for a broader relaxation in May and June with the return of non essential retail, outdoor dining and personal services - but no dates will be attached to it.

    A walk-in in Blanchardstown turning up some high positivity rates of asymptomatic people.
    The rate of positivity among people who turned up for testing at the HSE’s walk-in centre in Blanchardstown, one of five in operation in Dublin and Offaly, stands at 4.3 per cent on confirmed results from tests carried out last Thursday and Friday.

    It's fully reasonable that we have been told not to leave our houses other than for essential reasons since October last year with a break of a few days (and it looks likely to run until June/July) because apparently somewhere else had a few weeks of tighter restrictions last year.

    Source?

    Scroll down to Cillian de Gascun's comment. Very surprised that anyone would need a source on this view at this stage. It's about as controversial as saying Paris is the capital of France. Can't imagine there's a day goes by without hearing it. Would be far more interested in sources for claims that everyone is ignoring restrictions.

    The above may be true . However the main reason is these countries dont have a magic money tree

    HSE planning on expanding walk in centres

    Interesting figures

    "The walk-in centres, which opened in four venues around Dublin and in Tullamore, Co Offaly last week, had carried out tests on over 7,500 with an average positivity rate of 3 per cent, with Tullamore and Grangegorman at 2 per cent, she said.

    Of the asymptomatic people tested 41 per cent were in the 25-44 age group and there was a 5 per cent positivity rate in the 15-24 cohort."

    Unless theyre going to do regional restrictions and allow places like Cork, Kerry etc open up a little bit more, we already are suffering from the consequences of other counties. If they want to come down to Cork to do nothing, fine. Its only necessary if they allow us down here to open up a bit.

    Ours is not magic either but we can afford money that is almost at negative rates and the economy is far more diverse than others.

    We were there yesterday as my daughter with a very serious genetic disorder is a close contact. She is showing symptoms & I had to bring her to Clogran this morning. The adults implicated went to the walk in centre near the aquatic centre. Very impressed with them. I also have symptoms with an extremely bad skin reaction. Today when I was heading to Cloghran with my younger daughter, my older healthy daughter is suddenly very unwell.

    The schools are absolutely not safe. We have done everything by the book meanwhile my neighbours are having hordes of Visitors!

    A very worrying few weeks ahead.

    I do agree with that. Negative rates doesn't mean we dont make repayments though . The way its described by opposition parties makes it sound like it's free money
