    Sadly it's NPHET way or no way. Absolutely no reason not to revert to 15 outdoors for pubs and restaurants immediately.

    Yet these clowns whine on about the precarious situation, the new virus and of course the variants.

    More bull****.

    If NPHET had their way we would have had retroactive contact tracing last August and mandatory quarantine nearly a year ago.

    Quit your nonsense and spreading absolute horse**** conspiracy theories.

    Interesting interview on Prime Time with Stephen Donnelly.
    - He clearly wants mandatory quarantine extended to EU & elsewhere, not even ruling out quotas or a cap on people coming until Ireland, this is a catastrophe in my opinion.
    Agreed. We can't be locking down forever for fear of variants, so far the data is showing that the vaccines are effective against every variant identified so far. The hotel quarantine is turning into a giant distraction and time sink, is this really where the Minister should be spending his time?
    - Vaccination numbers estimate done by Prime Time reporter Mark Coughlan, who did a great job breaking down what we might expect each month, very backloaded numbers from Johnson & Johnson 422,000 due to arrive by June.
    There's some good graphs on the vaccine thread. Most (maybe all) adults should expect to be able to get a vaccine by June and maybe July at the latest which is great news.

    NPHET and RTE for starters would be creaming themselves if all their scaremongering came to pass.

    Can you imagine George Lees glee.
    Seriously?

    Seeing as they were only delighted today to highlight there was still 260 people in hospital, will RTE's lead headline tomorrow be that hospital numbers have decreased by 15% in one day?

    Nah they'll go with the increase in ICU as the headline

    This was one of the points the EC was making regarding vaccine deliveries agreed by quarter whey they are disusing the export licencing. They don't want it backloaded to the last month/week of the quarter while fulfilling other orders outside the EU more to the start of the quarter.

    They will wait for morning update when the number will almost certainly increase from 8pm tonight and use that as that increase, completely missing the substantial reduction this evening.

    Least of our worries. Did you really think they would go ahead? The virus is to blame, unless you have some magic means of reducing cases sufficiently to allow sport fully reopen.


    Edit. To save the click bait "England set to be handed at least FOUR more Euro 2020 games with Uefa braced for Dublin to pull out as host city"

    Jokers. Another backlash hopefully.

    Barcelona had 5000 people at a concert (indoors I believe)

    Overrated immunologist. I'm sure he is good at what he does, at what he is employed to do, but that's about it.

    Add a smile to a scientist and it's amazing what it does to your career. Brian Cox in the UK, to give an example - a man you would be forgiven for thinking was on cocaine on a double daily dose.

    Luke O'Neill is a pretty amateurish version by comparison.

    Just as annoying, but equally as amateurish.

    The Irish capital is believed by senior Uefa figures to be the most likely city to be unable to give Euro chiefs the guarantees they have sought, leaving the Aviva set to be stripped of its games.

    Why are all the other EU countries able to give a commitment?

    Why can 5000 people go to a concert in Barcelona?

    As bad as he is he actually reins in Pat Kenny on his show every Thursday morning

    Pat likes to talk about stuff like plumes of Covid exhausting from cyclists, O’Neill is actually a voice of reason on that show

    And what qualifications do you have that makes your opinion greater than those in NPHET?

    The problem with Brian Cox is his optimism. "Things...." he keeps saying, "...can only get better"

    Luke O'Neil saying 25% occuputancy indoor dining in September

    Go away out of that

    That would be disastrous for the economy

    He's usually optimistic too

    That insufferable grin is still plastered to his face, "we'll knock down the walls and have a pint together". Sound Luke, with your millions you can call the round. And he was joined tonight by an anonymous pharmacist by name of Kate O'Connell. Not-so-subtle rebranding methinks, one doth know which way the wind blows. Anyway, I wasn't long reaching for the remote.

    He's all for outdoor dining this summer so hardly surprising he'd give that view.

    People keep throwing out ‘social distancing’ as one of the possible long term behaviours / rules . It’s an absolute nonsense. Large parts of our economy are completely unviable with social distancing. It’s an absolute non-runner once we’re substantially vaccinated

    Why not both?

    Even cutting max numbers earlier is better than nothing

    No indoor dining is disastrous for the vast majority of the hospitality industry

    9 months will result in many many businesses not being able to open

    Would even be a disaster for well established hotels

    We will have to allow indoor dining by July at the latest or a number of our restaurants and hotels will disappear.

    We cant have a staycation if hotels can only offer outdoor dining or will the hotel be deemed your place of residence and indoor dining allowed in their restaurants.
