2nd most populous County.

Social distancing isn't really happening much, judging by Carrigaline standards-
Haven't seen a Garda walking about last 8 day's

I'm still being stopped pretty much every time I drive to work. Plenty of Garda presence on the roads!

I really hope that's true but its a dangerous take on things. All it takes is a small group of people to act the maggot and we could be back to square one again, or much much worse off.

Like the idiots protesting outside the CUH. No social distancing, no masks. Cancer Patients having to walk in the middle of the road to avoid them

A " wan" can't see her sister through the ground floor window, says she's dirty etc, load of bollox, they were caught passing a mobile in/ out the window of a high dependcy unit( brain ) and so they protest ( and people dying inside)

Wouldn't mind but they were all so casually dressed. ( Those outside the window wearing the same as inside?)

Sounds like they are delightful people. If she can't see her, then how does she know she is 'dirty'??

On the supermarkets:

LIDL on cornmarket Street have hand sanitiser and seem to be keeping SD well.

Tesco on Paul Street, no sanitiser, but some sprays, I think for baskets, but confusing. Mostly empty. Not great.

Dunnes on Patrick Street keep the handbaskets neatly stacked and sanitised.

True alright. One person only on a ventilator. Always going to decrease once restrictions and more testing in place. Yeah there may be a second surge of it but at least everything is in place to cope with it. To be honest it's been quiet and they actually had to cancel the covid positive community assessment hubs in some areas because the demand wasnt there. I feel it will always be around and there won't be any one vaccine to protect against it. Like I've said before it is common sense to just keep washing out hands and to avoid touching our mouths, noses or eyes without sanitizing our hands

Seems we have done quite well here overall.

Well done everyone and respect to all in our clinical care units.

That's a dangerous take on things. South Korea were also over the worst but:

Just what the nurses need after a long, stressful day.

Why has this person not been arrested on public order grounds?

Queue for English Market made about 40‰ longer by couples, friends and even families shopping together.

Lough is a pisstake ATM. No social distancing at all. Groups of 8-10 people together drinking

Guards have come along and fcuked people out of it thankfully.

Council has opened up pedestrianised streets to vehicular traffic and indiscriminate car parking and are encouraging people to drive into and park in city centre.
Market Traders have thanked council and said they are delighted with the increased volume of people as a result of it.

council refusing to open pedestrian access to 140 acre park is naturally going to increase volumes of people elsewhere like the Lough

Similarly the Marina was full of people today but vehicular traffic forcing people on to the verges and into one another.

Stop blaming the people. Blame the pro car policy.

As if the frontline staff have nothing else to do, those heroes are doing their best in a really tough time and idiots protesting :mad:

This has nothing to do with people not shopping alone.
Not all traders have thanked council. Eoin from O Mahony's butcher's has publicly criticised the opening up of OPS to cars.

The issue with pairs and groups doing shopping isn't just the queuing issue. It's bad for the traders, too. Only sixty people allowed in at any given time. If each of these people aren't purchasing, it's bad for the traders and the queues could drive some customers elsewhere.

Town was mobbed with people the Friday and Saturday when I was in. Fitzgerald Park and Peace Park were packed. Grand parade was mobbed. Social distancing was a write off. There's too many people out for the Gards to do anything. There's also next to no parking which shows you just how counterproductive free unlimited parking is on the center island.


Next week, we enter the next phase. It will be legal to meet up in groups of up to 4 outdoors. Every person in the city will be allowed hang out in town. If the weathers stays good it will only get busier and busier. We are seeing a glimpse of what our city would look like if huge numbers use it just for leisure during the day. Next week big numbers, bored of lockdown, are going to head the city centre to drink coffee and socialize.
