we are, and upping the levels is the only way, in order to protect the health service, still cant see a level 5 though

I’d be very surprised if they go to level 5 tbh, they’ll definitely bring in extra restrictions but can see them shutting non essential retail just yet as they are trying to balance restrictions and the economy.

That would be for the best i think

If we go to level 4 it means sports can still take place and for some that would a Little lift from the doom and gloom. Not much difference from all the levels other than no sport

What retail stays open at level 4?

Aquos76

Apologies lads, that should have read can’t see them shutting non essential retail.

seems a lot is made up as we go along. Would not surprise if Elite sports gets an exemption if we go into level 5

Maybe its time to draw up a new plan,not much living with covid in the current one

Sure, what's even in City Square anymore? Debenhams was a massive loss to City Square and to the centre of town.

We got told in work earlier early enough today we'd all have to work from home as we were going to level 5 from Wednesday, only back in the office properly a couple of weeks. Some pain in the backside!

"We are all living in a state of stasis. A form of suspended animation seems to have kicked in for many of us. If you step back and look at the people around you, there's a good chance that most of them will be displaying some degree of apathy. We are now living in the era of the collective Covid brain, which has reduced us to a shadow of our former selves. The fact that many people simply shrugged at the idea of Christmas being cancelled is a sure sign that we're collectively losing our mojo. The more sensible among us understand the reasons behind the restrictions, even if many of us also think they have been too drastic. But I do worry that we have gone into a national, emotional funk where all our energy is sapped and there's no pep in our step. The longer the restrictions continue, the harder it will be to break that cycle. Even when this virus is gone, we will be facing consequences for a long time".

Fast forward 48hrs. Straight to Level 5. Nationwide. The plan for stepping up levels abolished. Despite having some of the lowest figures in the country. A six week stretch at the very least. It's going to be one bleak mid Winter for a lot of people. This current regime has been catastrophic in terms of communication, planning and strategy for the pandemic. Rather than being proactive and capitalising on the initial success in suppressing the first wave the Government went on holidays. Who remembers Dr Tony Holohan on the Late Late telling us we had flattened the curve?
So here we are at the beginning again. Groundhog day. Deja vu. Lock us all away once more. See you in the New Year? Six weeks my aras!

Does seem stupid that we get a warning and a couple of days to spread the virus before another lockdown?

I don’t see the significance of the Ian O’doherty Quote......such a self righteous individual......it’s been a simple message all along since last March reduce the number of social contacts to bare minimum, wear a mask, wash your hands and don’t sneeze or cough on people......but majority obviously are too lazy, selfish or just plain stupid to follow such basic instructions....reflects maybe the ‘I’m alright jack....eff everyone else’ society that we have become.
