That Ferguson lad has a history of wildly exaggerated perdictions.
Why did nobody ask questions?

Was in Lidl earlier and there was no big 2 meter distanced line outside like there has frequently been. Walked inside and it was packed. Just like a typical day before Covid.

Couldn't even do the shop i went in for as there were people all over each other. Grabbed what was needed for the baby and to the till. The drinks aisle was packed and the queue at the till that goes up that one had zero space between people.

I asked the girl on the till why aren't they doing what they have been usually doing and she said head office told them they aren't doing it anymore. And they were told not to wear masks as they have screens. She said that customer should complain as their complaints won't have an effect.

Anyone else been in a Lidl today and noticed the social distancing measures not in place? Thought they had to be adhered to strictly. I'm no lockdown merchant and I think places can open up as long as guidelines as followed. But if one person had Covid in there today. They were probably spreading it all over the shop. I'll be switching from any shop that doesn't adhere to the protective measures.

Don't expect much from retail and you won't be disappointed

They are mostly about profit and covid window dressing

Wow. I hope my Aldi will follow, I've been in 30 minute queues 3 times a week for the last 8 weeks with tons of healthy people standing around.

Thats like 1.5 hours I couldve spent on Boards posting quality, relevant material

Expect a lot more moaning instead about the consequences of this ridiculous extended lockdown over the next few years.

A likely refreeze on recruitment in HSE, and intake at Templemore, to name two among others in the firing line.

You might be in a ‘safe’ industry and enjoying the slower pace of life now - but when there’s no funding for your children’s local sports teams and amenities, no money to fix your local roads, higher college fees, huge difficulty in getting mortgages and loans, increased public travel costs, higher VAT on goods you buy, paying more USC, higher property tax, more social unrest due to increased rich/poor divide, and you call the Gardai in need of them but they can’t help you because they are even more under-resourced than before, you may begin to understand the long-term damage that extended lockdown will cause to society as a whole.

Make no mistake, we will all be paying for a long time if roadmap is not rethought.

What is the date that Ireland will be out of lockdown. It seems like we are moving very slow compared to others

UK deaths now stand at 42,000, just 8 weeks after those models were made. Is it really so ridiculous to think that figure would rise to 250,000 over the course of the pandemic?
https://www.getsurrey.co.uk/news/uk-world-news/actual-number-coronavirus-deaths-uk-18262955

People saying the predictions were wildly inaccurate think that those total death tolls meant that they would have all occurred by now. They were predicted over the course of a year or two. I would say 250k deaths in the UK is well within the realms of possibility over the course of the next 12-18 months.

I'm sorry but this sounds like complete an utter bollox. Where was this lidl, anywhere in limerick or clare I have gone it has been strict and most enforced by the people themselves.

Nah I'd say the predictions at best were a load of scaremongering bolix.
500k-600k die in Britain every year.

Essentially the figure is how many deaths can be recorded as Covid, not how many extra will die.

They had "Normal People" on the projector screen in my local Lidl and there were over 1000 people in there having an orgy. I had to reach my arm in between rolls of sweaty flesh just to get a litre of milk. Oh and Lidl management told everyone they weren't allowed use condoms as they had Prep and birth control pills.

I often wonder about that. My father got the flu around xmas time. No one else in the household caught it.

The excess deaths that either were caused by COVID or coincided with the pandemic beginning have led to massively increased seasonal mortality rates in the UK the last few weeks, therefore your theory is untrue. Without any valid reason as to why deaths would jump so greatly during this period, there is no other explaination other than COVID has caused these deaths. And no it is not lockdowns which caused the deaths, otherwise countries such as Norway and Denmark which had lockdowns but only a small number of COVID deaths would have observed increase excesss mortality rates lately, which they did not.

Died with Covid or died because of Covid is a huge issue in reporting deaths of older people 80+

It is moving slow. I feel we will come out of lockdown sooner than expected. The timelines are likely overly cautious and likely worse case scenario. If public keep social distancing I feel we will be out of lockdown by the end of June. It’s not possible to keep people or businesses under such strict rules. We should be out of lockdown by the end of June with the exception of crowed pubs I think the phases will be moved forward and lockdown will end in June

I’ve a house in Leitrim that family are working, roof needs slates and we’ve no been up since start of measures.

Would going up being considered regional travel and not allowed, despite it being constructive work? Sorry if wrong thread lads

Why do you need to go to Aldi 3times a week?
And have you thought about changing the time you go?

Did you not read the rest of the post? He wants things packed again, doesn't give a crap about social distancing and thinks this is all one big joke. At least that troll post about Lidl has unmasked his postings. He has been one of the main people in this thread crying and winging about the lockdown when the reality is that the likes of him are one of the main reasons we are in lockdown and are having to be so cautious about reopening.

Every time you go to Aldi you have to queue half an hour, really? I've never been in a queue that lasted more then 10 minutes in Tesco, Dunnes, Aldi or lidl in the past eight weeks.

Tesco near me has had regular queues for 30 mins or more. Gets me out of the house and can listen to a podcast or two in peace.

It depends on when and where you go I suppose, but I've never been more then 10 minutes in a queue in the Tesco in Wilton, Cork. I go there once a week.

I heard that if you put the same data into the model twice it spat out a different solution.
