    Okay, I'll rephrase it. You never accepted the rationale for restrictions.

    You can park your hyperbole - one might be surprised to learn I was initially in favour of them last year. Until Tony started expressing "concern" about daily case numbers in the single digits. That was the straw which broke the camel's back.

    So it’s confirmed that it’s a slower relaxation than last year

    Does MM know there is a vaccine?

    Laughable that there is now a discussion on Matt Cooper about how can we pay back the massive sums of money borrowed

    Not a word about the cost until now

    It really is baffling.

    And you and I were laughed at repeatedly when we called this back in Jan.

    You have some neck accusing others of hyperbole....

    Racism is now hiding behind the cloak of Community activism.

    Have they done a U-turn on reopening the CTA before EU travel? No mention of it, just all EU travel on the 19th July.

    So you consider suppressing citizens, in a country with Europe’s youngest population profile, for longer than any other nation, and all the associated health, social and economic costs such long term suppression brings, as a victory?

    It’s a victory in the sense that your home is burnt to the ground but the mouse had to move out

    But have to sit 2 m away from anyone and not eat popcorn or have an ice cream because that is indoor dining.

    it's a victory in that we developed multiple extremely effective vaccines in less than a year. maybe one of mankind's greatest victories.

    i'm not really talking about lockdown policy which i agreed with and disagreed with at various times.

    We'll have to contend with the smouldering embers in the October budget. You can be sure reality will sink in then. The vaccines have been doing trojan work for the government, now that people are finally allowed the opportunity to work again the PUP needs to be swiftly abolished. Quench that bonfire of billions instead of chasing us down the road with additional taxation.

    Going forward, this is an ideal opportunity to make some permanent changes. Restaurants should be restricted to serving only lobster and champagne, thus excluding the great unwashed.

    I thought with all the mass testing worldwide and shortage of proprietary chemicals for testing, it was an Irish group of scientists from Cork University (I think) That developed a cheap and mass producible replacement for counties to use.

    It is not spiteful it is true. To suggest Ireland developed a vaccine is false.

    Ireland is a huge producer of ventilators and nebulisers and many other medical things. We didn’t create a vaccine, but we were producing things that were badly needed ^ while others sat on their arse^ as you put it.

    The daily cases we are getting now is the swab data, I presume it's from another department /company.


    That changed from the 25th of this month.

Further work was undertaken to develop a more robust process for daily case numbers and from 25 May 2021 daily case numbers are based on a data extract from the Covid Care Tracker."

    And also Brickster, you seem to be ignorant of the meaning of the spiteful, something can most certainly be both true and spiteful.

    I could for instance point out to someone that his wife was an ugly woman. this may be true but could also be spiteful.

    Knowing now what you have not previously I would very politely suggest you examine your posting history and see how just how much spite is in it.

    The revised Covid cases are a little higher (<5%) but with no real alterations to the trend. Considering that reported cases are related to the number of tests the revised data tell us virtually nothing new. ("True" cases are almost certainly higher) It would be better if they had daily revised data for the % of tests which were positive. These were showing some promising signs prior to the hack.

    Anyone else hate the use of the word trial? They are trialling putting 3,000 in a 80,000 stadium?? A trial would indicate a risk/this hasn’t being done before.....You’d get 3,000 people on a average sunny day at a large park....

    Did I see 200 at some stadiums??! 200 people outside spread apart - living dangerously lads :)

    Bloody hell they are being conservative...

    It’s to test systems before going to larger numbers
