Haven't read the term 'due to covid' in relation to hospitalizations. Of those 39 we have no idea why they are receiving treatment.

14 in ICU, so feck all

I supported restrictions in March 2020 and January 2021.

However closing construction for so long was a thundering disgrace.

Stuff like non essential retail could have resumed sooner.

Outdoor dining could have resumed a month earlier in my view, especially in non alcohol establishments like coffee shops.

A lot of people are happy with restrictions because it means WFH, or the PUP or PUP and cash nixer on the side etc.

No school runs either so a few beers on a weeknight.

People may support restrictions but what is their motive?

School runs still exists

I suppose if you are very selective about who you ask those questions, you will get data skewed enough to support your viewpoint.

In reality though saying a majority supported it is complete nonsense, the only people who could have wanted more restrictive measures are the introverted ****ing losers who were in heaven with a lockdown scenario where everyone else was being forced to mirror their pathetic lonely existences.

In fairness you didn't say for just those months, you ranted about alot of things.

Like WFH is ongoing since March 2020 not just the two months!!

Anyhow I agree with alot of things you said there

None of that is unreasonable.

it does not however mean anyone who believes that we shouldn't just ignore everything from here on out loves lockdowns or are living in fear

Those polls are complete bollox

Young people don’t fill out surveys or complete polls, especially on the likes of the journal.ie

The only people I know who even read the journal are my parents, both 50+

Its obviously an older cohort of people who are taking part in this surveys and skewing the results

I can tell you now everyone I know only supported restrictions in March 2020 and post Christmas 2020. No other time

To say that 80% of the ENTIRE population were in continuous support of the restrictions is absolutely absurd

Some relaxation of restrictions

Imagine the shock that the "pilot event", was just that a pilot, and not how everything was going to be forever more

99.9999% of people here don't want to ignore everything, they just think we are being so over cautious. I don't understand your posting style, you believe we opened stuff too slowly but castigate anyone who suggests we opened too early.

Who do so by castigating anyone who suggests any understanding for some continued measures are somehow living in fear/ brainwashed by RTE / loving lockdown etc, rather than countering points using reason and logic.

An there is nothing contradictory in holding what some judge as two contradictory positions. The opinion that some aspects of society could have opened more quickly is not mutually exclusive of the opinion the continued caution while relaxing restrictions is appropriate

That's a bit more like a proper test event. Not like that farce in the Iveagh Gardens which was neither a pilot nor a test, just some Covid theatre.

Still not overly convinced

Sure it's a bigger attendance but social distancing still very much exists

Got to love the cherry picking of when to look to the rest of EU. Where's the benchmarking against EU when it comes to antigen testing, international travel, mass gathering events (e.g. Euro 2020) and the general imposing and easing of restrictions? What a fraud.

Tony knows best

Tánaiste Leo Varadkar has said there is no reason to panic just yet around the further reopening scheduled for July 5 as concerns grow due to the spread of the Delta variant.

In all honesty, can these people just stop.

RTE in full Delta variant mode this morning. Morning Ireland and now Claire Byrne Live. Scaremongering at its worst

There has definitely been a ramping up in the media of Delta fear in the last 24hrs. First time watching the Tonight Show last night and was surprised at the level of fear and concern the guests were trying to stir up. Same on various radio news' i caught earlier today.
People may say the cmo only advises but it is as clear as day that as soon as he says or tweets something the rest of the media contuine to pedal the same angle for days afterwards.

evidence in the form of stories that people tell about what has happened to them

I think this interview is reasonable evidence of cognitive decline in Scally, or else he is so unused to being challenged that he could not accept he was mistaken.

So many kites being flown by Tony and government today. Preparing us for a delay in lifting some of the next level of the restrictions.

They are absolutely cranking themselves into making irrational decisions here.

This is the thing, wasnt 90% uptake across the population seen as generally what was expected or even above expectation?

How is this a story?

There is no story, the examiner were called out trying to put a negative slant on vaccine uptake intentions.

What's with the fearmongering?

There's not even the slightest inkling of a new lockdown on the horizon.
