    How many deaths has there been over the past four weeks? Is the HSE hack the reason they are not reporting deaths or has there simply been none? Surely you don't need an IT system to tell you if someone has died from Covid. I get the feeling if there were loads of deaths every day they wouldn't be shy in telling us.

    Just walked past Capel St and it is mobbed!

    Hope Tony isn’t about.

    Very strange (but great) seeing the street packed and no space to move.

    How are the cases still high? Is it the easy fast spread of the Delta variant?

    No, just the other day we only had 200 delta cases.

    The sad thing is this could be controlled better by using antigen testing & controlled environments.

    I'm hearing unconfirmed reports that Tony is concerned, or possibly very concerned

    I still can’t get over the fact that Sam McConkey said we can open indoor hospitality and yet our leaders want to take a more cautious approach than him.

    I know and he has peddled some level of ****e throughout this.
    His words were, there is no possible scenario where the next wave could be anything remotely like the last.

    Those reports were not true.

    He was absolutely shocked. Again.

    You are delighted to see people packed together?
    Even before covid I'd hate to be in a place like that.

    So, 19th and 26th July the new dates being bandied about by the Business Post and Sindo today. Probably be some on here denying that it’ll be pushed back, still.

    Doesn’t look good for summer. In 2 weeks, it will inevitably be “cases have risen, delay again”. And NPHET unlikely to agree to a specific date. Happy summer, people.

    So that would possibly be indoor hospitality and international travel back on the same day. Can't see Tony agreeing to date.

    Expect travel to be pushed out to August.

    August I’d say is optimistic at this stage. Isn’t there a bank holiday in august? And don’t schools go back? Starting to sound like a conspiracy theorist, but we’ve heard all this before. Resigned to no indoor dining before September tbh.

    Cases will rise and we’ll be spooked again and that’ll be indoors off the list.

    Thank god Tony advises and Micheál (cabinet) decides.
    Amazing to see so many people fall for politicians passing the blame so easily.
    All the hate passed onto the CMO and not on the the actual decision makers.

    No, experience of situations with crowds drinking where people spill drinks and are generally messy. I prefer not to be around that.

    I knew he was concerned but I did not know he was very concerned. That is concerning.

    Is it not weird, the fortunes of a large cohorts livelihoods, finances and mental health are down to the mood of an unelected medical civil servant who appears to be unilaterally able to decide country's path

    Enough is enough. Where is our government or even worse, where is the opposition.

    Irish politics has failed terribly in recent months.

    Australia has recorded 35 cases in 3 states.

    With a high rate of vaccinated including the vunerable the case numbers should not stop opening so who are the covid patients in hospital and 13 in ICU? are they unvaccinated, age range and did they come from the quarrantine system ?

    I often wonder how our spineless politicians can so easily get away passing the buck.

    Business as usual on this thread, ruse followed. Ya

    The demand for normality is so high now that I can barely get a spot at my local swimming pool. Some pubs and restaurants are booked out for weeks.

    Nobody wants this nonsense to continue anymore. Even previous lockdown supporters I know are now starting to see sense.

    Delaying inevitable now with zero community immunity and high vaccine hesitancy , tricky one for Aus and NZ now but it us winter and an outbreak was likely at some point

    Ah sure NPHET don’t give a flying fûck about the hospitality and tourism industry. And sure the plebs will be grand on PUP.

    It’s in my mind without doubt that indoor hospitality will not happen until school and college can reopen safely now.
    The absolute bed wetters!
    There’s no sign of the uk closing indoor hospitality and yet delta is dominant! Follow the science they say but yet it’s a bald unelected egotistical prick that’s going to shut many businesses for god and leave thousands on the dole!
    But we’ll be grand

    Ah stop, you said it right there they’ve been shut for 18 months,
    It won’t be two weeks and if it is then FairPlay but I can’t see it happening
    It’ll all be about an abundance of caution until we get 1 year old jabbed!!
