The Greenway was packed with people today all out cycling and walking the carpark at Killoteran was full i could barely get a space ,I don't think people are going to be sticking to the ridiculous 5km distance like the last time which is good to see!

The goose is cooked now I'm afraid. Our current ineffectual utterly weak leadership is just the icing on the cake. I was out panic buying a Halloween costume yesterday evening, expecting only a handful of options to be available. Every shop I went to was open, most were pretty packed. The roads were as busy as ever. I can't see adherence being very high at all.

Give an example other than Australia, New Zealand and south/north Korea where things are any better....???

New Zealand getting all the allocates for its exemplary handling of the ‘Kung flu’ but it’s difficult to see how they can ‘open up’ again without the ‘Chinese virus’ spreading being a consequence...?

Maybe, just maybe, the cases are beginning to ever so slightly fall as a result of the Level 3 restrictions announced a few weeks back??
(After all it takes time for these things to actually work!)

Level 5's only a couple of days in. 6 weeks to go. Add in the clocks going back and some seasonably Autumn-Winter weather and the likelihood of people bedding in so the numbers should be in double digits come December. Just an observation but Ireland is really racheting up the restrictions compared to other Euro countries. Wales is taking a 2 week pause for instance.

Feel sorry for small businesses. They're taking the brunt of it all. Cycled through the centre of town this morning. Pretty quiet. Only a few souls for such a nice day.

Parting thought for the Bank Holiday weekend: there's been a huge incremental surge in numbers these past 6/7 weeks; now what else happened at the start of this period? Where 100's of thousands of people are engaged in? In close contact? 30 to a room, 8 hours a day, 5 days a week? With little or no social distancing or mask wearing when they exit the premises?
Answer: the schools! Especially the secondary one's.

So keep the schools closed.....is that what you are hinting at.....zero covid island....New Zealand approach....???

These lower numbers could also be as a result of the cock up in the contact tracing since last weekend

I don’t think I ever remember seeing the park as busy as what it was around 12:30 today

Much argued point on the covid forum! Looks a bit suspicious alright. We'll know next week.

We will have a few weeks of low numbers after L5 followed by a deadly 3rd wave that will kill all ages like the Spanish flu did , even on lockdown Eve there were drunk groups assembling in town no beating this plague

Will this lead to zombies? Because I've been buying as much tinned food as possible the last few weeks and herself is starting to give out.
