Really educated argument, fair play.

Anyway, back on topic because the thread’s going to the dogs.

All trends still downwards (besides deaths), hopefully we’ll hit the 200/100 mark in Cork this week.

I was reading very similar arguments on the main covid thread for most of 2020.

Rubbish.

There was plenty of naive optimism around in early December - look where that got us!

No one is wallowing in misery but complacency is dangerous, as the end of December showed us.

Here is the post that apparently said optimism made us have loads of cases

Why people are getting ratty about it is a mystery

Because there is a big difference between "naive optimism" and "any kind of optimism", as I already pointed out, new person.

It's a bit sad that someone would claim outrage on behalf of someone else!

Things moving better than I expected. 1910 positive swabs today from 18756 tests. Lowest since 29/12 with a positivity rate of 10%, down from 25% two weeks ago.

ACitizenErased · 18-01-2021 7:00pm

236 cases in Cork today

Government tonight propose to give GP’s and pharmacy’s 1.5 million doses of vaccine to distribute over the next 6 months. This will be along with the HSE continued roll out. €60 they will pay the GP’s per person getting 2 doses and €35 for 1 dose version.

Thought it was harsh on people at garrettstown getting a fine. Great exercise and escape for people in a wide open location. You would be more at risk of catching it on greenway between rochestown and passage on a Sunday afternoon

Great news. People are making an effort. A big push now could see non essential retail by early March and a meaningful reopening by early April I think. If we have indoor dining (socially distanced) by Easter that’d be great.

The purpose of the 5km limit is not to limit the location of exercise per se. It is to prevent (or at least constrain) other activities that might otherwise happen on the pretence of exercise.

The thinking is that if people are permitted to travel arbitrarily for exercise, they could travel for social purposes or non-essential commercial activity and use “I’m just going to get some exercise” as an excuse if stopped.

That so many people miss the point of the 5km limit is a big communications failure on the part of the powers-that-be to explain the rationale.

Eh no.
They knew the rules and broke them anyway, because of course everyone's an epidemiologist these days.

What's very funny are lads without NCT, tax etc. getting caught now.
They are definitely operating on one brain cell.
