They've been up to weeks and possibly months behind at times. I think generally they're in the last week.

Leisurely drive (twice, there and back) through Carrigaline today and it was like somebody told them all that their chins are at serious risk of catching something.

Such stupid, dangerous behaviour from probably 60 people, several with visible disabilities which would have made them higher risk - especially at risk from all the other people with chin masks.

Don't put it on until you're ready to wear it properly, take it off when you leave the shop and put the used ones in a ziplock to dispose of or clean. Hanging it around your mouth means that something dirty and possibly contaminated is touching the area around your mouth. So obvious.

Stop and tell them individually,you could save lives.

But I thought masks were to protect others and not yourself?
If what is the harm putting it down around your neck briefly between shops and putting it back up in a shop. If the mask is contaminated then you are the only one it will affect. And how will it get affected if it is around your neck? If it did then you are getting whatever is infecting it also in the air.

I fully agree with wearing a mask and do in all indoor places. But when I leave, I take it off and shove it in my pocket and put it back on later. If it gets infected in my pocket (or around my neck although I don't to that myself) then I have bigger things to worry about. No one else will be affected though which I thought is the point of them.

In reality VERY few are going to follow the strict instructions on how to wear a mask and not touch it, remove it with 2 fingers carefully, bag it, wash it between every use, etc, etc, etc. People will just stop wearing them rather than put up with all that. Wearing one which covers mouth and nose helps prevent spread to others, so how about we accept that as a good thing and accept how people put it on and take it off.

I think there is evidence now that wearing a mask also provides some level of protection for the wearer?

I'm sure it does. But let's be realistic in trying to get everyone to wear a mask. Being overly picky about popping it down over the neck for a while when outdoors is not that big a deal. At least they are wearing one and doing no harm to anyone else.

You know, six months ago I would have. But I'm high risk and I had my extremely vulnerable relative in the car so I actually wouldn't take the chance now. The people who are engaging in risky behaviour are the ones I need to avoid as much as possible, more then ever at the moment.

I usually pop in two places with that relative I was out with but we didn't take the chance this week. There are too many cases at the moment. We went for our walks outside as normal this week when we knew it would be quiet and stayed away from anywhere remotely busy.

I'm hearing a confirmed case in Fermoy area and that few tests been carries out in that area but may just be rumours - but I agree it would be really helpful if they at least confirmed region/area

ACitizenErased

Of 156 additional cases today:
55 in Dublin, 36 in Kildare, 12 in Tipperary, 9 in Limerick, 7 in Kilkenny, 6 in Waterford and the remaining 31 cases are in Carlow, Clare, Cork, Donegal, Galway, Kerry, Laois, Louth, Meath, Monaghan, Offaly, Roscommon, Westmeath, Wexford and Wicklow.

Cork could be anywhere from 1-5 i'm thinking

There is some talk of a few cases in Clonakilty

Big gathering of anti maskers in Dublin yesterday.

If the cases in Co.Dublin go up put them into lockdown.
