The future is always uncertain. Always was always will be. So it's good that the Government stumbles and bumbles it's way along? We are on the about the second or third phased plan level at this point.

It’s an unprecedented dynamic situation the whole world is in......the core message form day one hasn’t changed.....social distance, wash hands, good cough and sneeze etiquette, wearing of masks recently added....and is being done. We are also asked to limit our social contacts.......now how retarded do you have to be if you can’t grasp the above......?

Some people are struggling with some of these issues, unfortunately

Just because I'm paranoid doesn't mean they haven't got it in for us😉

Come down from that ivory tower of yours as you must have run out of breath constructing that unprecedented sermon. Thankfully we have little cretin's like your good self to bring us back into line! I've followed all the guidelines. However the government does not have control over how we choose to conduct our day to day lives. They are merely advising us; other than mask wearing is not currently a legal requirement to adhere to everything they say. It's called a concept of free will and personal responsibility.
Meanwhile you should take a good look at yourself most especially the use of the word "retarded" in a public forum. Not very PC or woke as it's called in the current lexicon. It might cause offence. Those in glass house's should not throw stones.

Some are still struggling with these instructions, forgetting social distancing myself from time to time

So long as you make some effort most of the time.....where do you forget....inside or outdoors??

Look at mask wearing in shops etc.....I’d make guess it’s above 90%......its a pity the other guidelines are not taken as seriously.....😡

Mainly indoors I'd say, particularly in shops, rarely where it outdoors

Not sure how anyone can miss the markings on the floor at this point. It should be second nature. Every mask is a reminder.

Ah shops and crowded places can be a little daunting for some at the best of times, I'm still forgetting myself from time to time

It’s good that more people are catching it, more immunity in the community. Plus there is an opinion that the minuscule particle it take for them to proclaim a positive test could be a dead Covid cell from someone who has recovered or even an antibody. I still ware a mask, wash my hands and avoid the vulnerable.

Herd ammunity not confirmed yet as being the best thing to do, we still have very little knowledge on this one

Harry Palmr

There is NO herd immunity. The rate of known immunity is 5% and it doesn't seem to be anything other than a temporary effect.

2 cases in Waterford.

Junior Hurler

35,000 positive cases in Ireland so far in a population of 5m. That’s 0.7% of the population or if you prefer, 99.3% of the population haven’t got infected. Herd immunity? No.

Yeah you can look at it that way but then again the government Will giving themselves a pat on the back cause of our strict restrictions compared to other countries

Still feel were still panicking a lot and the level plans show that. We should be working towards a full restart by Spring 2021 and not a half one like we are now

trolley numbers going up already especially for Cork. That is a worry because weekend emergency treatment in Waterford is shipped there.

No "probably" about it, we don't.

Just from the point of view of outpatient appointments that were completely cancelled between March and July and the seriously reduced clinics that have been running since mid July, it'll be at least 12-18 months before we're back on track and that's without taking into consideration further restrictions and/or a "lockdown" that we experienced from March to July.

Jesus, that's disturbing, our system truly is a train wreck

I would see it the other way, that what was done has kept these numbers so low.
