Really hope this doesn’t happen.

There'll be absolute uproar if they lock the whole county down for 30 cases a day. Idiotic to even suggest it.

But they have been mentioning Cork now all week, it seems they are desperate to look down the place.

They've mentioned Limerick and Galway too, and they'll never happen. There's a big difference between locking down Donegal and locking down the biggest county.

Unless the cases drop early next week momentum for the lockdown will continue. Fear mongering now seeing as they have Dublin gone to level 3, gotta keep those votes intact. Political bull****.

Another 36 cases today in Cork

We need cases to start decreasing to stop talk of lockdown restrictions etc., for Cork, it is a worry, the government and NPHET do not want another Dublin situation

Yeah it was nearly headline news on rte tonight that cork will probably going into lockdown next thurs/fri. Sure how could they know that now,no one knows what way the number of cases will go the next few days

Really hope it doesn't happen, one of the things that's kept me going the last couple of months is being able to sit down and have a nice meal in a restaurant, would hate for that to be taken away again. I've just left the hospitality industry too so would hate to see people having to sign on again not long after going back to work.

Micheal Martin would never win a vote in Cork again if he allowed it to be locked down for 30 cases a day.
That's the equivalent of ~70 in Dublin per day.

The large gatherings, parties and raves need to stop

Based on the clusters in Cork, they're not really the issue. Workplace clusters and nursing homes.

Apparently Gardai had to break up a few house parties in the city centre and Douglas

The places in which these parties were held should be named and shamed at this stage.

Yes I agree with large fines for the owners/landlords/parents etc.,

Why not ?


Why should we as a society continue to tolerate this carry on? I do not think the usual PC approach is going to work especially with the type of people we must be dealing with having parties during a pandemic.

Yeah, no. House parties are far from the main problem here.

Jesus Christ. Is there any hope for us at all.

It feels like the public are being treated like children by politicians & media. “We’re going to punish you unless...” It’s tiresome and I’m fed up of the threats.

I don’t see why Galway, Cork are mentioned in the same breath as Donegal, Dublin when our cases are low albeit rising. This comes with the caveat of: I’m not a decision maker and do not have access to the same info as NPHET et al.

How do they justify restricting Cork for c. 30 cases per day when Donegal got moved on the day it had c. 100 cases? Not even adjusted for population.

Anyhow, I’m off home to Galway City to get married next weekend, please God. If you’re a religious type, I’d appreciate prayers for the wedding & marriage.

Giving them the benefit of the doubt I’ve always assumed it’s based on the information they get from contact tracing and how it’s spreading. If it’s due to a lot of community transmission rather than clusters that can be somewhat contained. For example back in August Tipperary had a spike that came back down without a change in restrictions because it was due to a food processing factory. Tipperary is now one of the lowest for cases per 100k. But maybe I’m wrong and that involves too much logic. If they did explain the logic (if there is one) it would help.

Best of luck with the wedding and the marriage. It can’t be easy with this hanging over ye.

Not sure why people don’t get that until there’s a vaccine there is not a solution. COVIDs going nowhere.

Pfizer seem to be confident of having their vaccine ready in october.

Yep, emergency approval in November and mass vaccinations beginning in early 2021.

Great to hear, but I wonder what the initial uptake would be like? I'd certainly be holding off for a while to see what the initial affects are.

Good stuff.
I've much more faith in an industry based vaccine , the Oxford one is pie in the sky.
