    After giving out about outdoor gatherings in Dublin, his next tweet is about indoor gatherings in Limerick. Not sure if this will mean a tout line in Limerick or a local lockdown.

    Damned if you do, damned if you don't. After chastising people for meeting up outside last week, does he really think the people who are meeting up indoors will pay any attention to his twiiter ramblings.

    Tony needs to stay away from Twitter

    He's been on a role as of late

    Something will be done now as it was in Dublin. A tweet from him is a call to action. The other authorities will be asking Tony how high they have to jump.

    Why can't they publish any of the county by county figures, actual case numbers. They are using the hack as an excuse i don't get it

    What exactly is wrong with that tweet? It's factual, he's not making any judgements etc? :confused:

    It plays into the narrative that Tony wants to lock everybody up in their houses all summer until the next lockdown happens in September :rolleyes:

    Whether you like him or otherwise - his tweeting about issues relating to infection rates and public health guidelines is hardly surprising is it.

    I believe there is a block feature for those who may have a tenancy to get upset about such things being tweeted ...

    No issue with that tweet myself but, how do they know where the cases occurred? How do they know if it's indoors or outdoors?

    Afaik from previous track and trace reports - they've been able to identify individual events where new cases have originated from.

    Afaik the current ones identified were all indoor.

    Dr Mai Mannix, the director of public health for HSE Mid-West, said the incidence has been high in Limerick, with 740 cases recorded between 16-31 May.

    She said there are multiple community outbreaks resulting from house parties and household visits, as well as from workplaces and some school settings.

    Dr Mannix highlighted one school situation where 30 positive cases had resulted from birthday parties and social mixing.

    They are also investigating 50 cases in 20 workplaces, with the majority being in Limerick.

    Dr Mannix said there had been outbreaks in hair salons, beauticians and factories, with 50 close contacts involved in an outbreak from one hair salon

    Tweeting about guidelines is one thing, but tweeting about being shocked when people went outside as per his advice is another thing entirely.

    God knows what he will say in the NPHET press briefing tomorrow

    Covid Delta will add an extra fuel to the fire

    Tony is trying to fill the void that Donald Trump has left since twitter banned him.

    So basically, outbreaks anywhere there were signs of life?

    Well yes the advice is indeed go outdoors. Though funnily enough the advice is not for large crowds of people to congregate close together without social distancing etc and pretend that public health advice does not apply.

    Hosts would be integral to an outbreak all right.

    Of course they know, ive been told by someone in the know that most cases originated in a small community who partook of religious celebrations recently. Doesnt take much to figure it out and i am absolutely not criticizing that community before im accused of all sorts.

    It was a genuine question as I didn't know...

    Calm down...Everything is going to be OK

    We know what the advice is. Why is Tony shocked though, when we know these sorts of crowds are appearing for months around the country.

    And its pretty harmless given the about 80 people in hospital.

    I said this to a Doctor earlier. That he's an advisor to the Government. Not his place to be wagging the finger at the public and that he got it wrong doing it...

    Got accused of being a right wing, anti vaxer, who knows nothing and that Tony is always right and a wonderful guy and that Europe should have listened to him and that I'm a stupid nobody, who knows nothing in life, with a stupid job who only looks for unhappiness in life.
    When I pointed out that he hasn't always been right, I was told that they planned for the worst and that I was a bad person for calling them out for being wrong with their projections and predictions

    Essentially, it made this site and Covid threads look like a PG movie

    Lots of musicians out of work...
    Hire a few bands at weekends to play, weather permitting and problem is solved.

    Usually in St. Stephen's Green and loads hanging out on the grass, all spaced out. Only seen a few people hanging on the band stand. Although, I know last week that a big group of people acted the maggot on it.

    Put a band on it, people can enjoy and socialise on the park grounds. Problem solved

    Oh my....this thread!

    Echo chamber inhabited by full time posters who mansplain here because their families are likely sick of listening to them.

    I'm playing catch up with the thread and am only on page 114.

    It would be an echo chamber if everyone had the same opinion. It's obvious that there are many varied opinions on the thread.

    Gigs '24 - Ben Ottewell and Ian Ball (Gomez), The Jesus & Mary Chain, The Smashing Pumpkins/Weezer, Pearl Jam, Green Day, Stendhal Festival, Forest Fest, Electric Picnic, Pixies, Ride, Therapy?, Public Service Broadcasting, IDLES, And So I Watch You From Afar

    I see the same nonsense is being repeated again and again and again on this thread. Nothing changed.

    Some people have serious problems with memory. Guess I'll go the same route and blame Tony for that. Without any foundation or logic, but fcùk it, Tony is plague right.

    My 15 year old has more brain between his ears to know when to say we or I.

    Who is "we"?

    You would wonder why he bothers with these sort of tweets. Surely at this stage he must realize that the only people paying any heed to his "fist shaking at a cloud" are the crowd that are still counting households in their back gardens or park meet ups.
    But then again he didn't realize that crowds have been gathering for piss ups for the last few months not just last weekend, so many he thinks people hang on his every word.

    Jubilant scenes again. More people rising up against unelected Tony.

    80 people in hospital. 80.
