Christ not this again but nothing would surprise me. But there's been an economic precedent after being set in LOK for shuttered business. Spread over the country you're talking eye watering figures.

Because in the early threads there were constant posts about getting a WhatsApp from, cousins, aunts, uncles etc who said lockdowns were coming, army being deployed pure and utter sh1te. It became a joke that it didn’t count unless it was a WhatsApp

This is incorrect. You didn't get any text of that nature and I suspect your aunt doesn't exist. Don't make up disinformation to feel important.

Ask her who sent the text and what is their role, what info they're privy to?

I met a man who knows a lad whose girlfriend's first cousin was on a Luas and saw a man in a suit get a text from someone who said something about a Covid Lockdown.

AKA either she is taking the piss out of you or you are taking the piss out of us. Either way there is more piss being taken than on a good night at Trump Towers.

Stick my oar in ? Last time I looked this was an open forum for members to post their own views and opinions and engage on a variety of subjects and topics... if that’s sticking your oar in fine, people have been sticking their oar in if that’s the case here for over 20 years.... deal with it.

Was not expecting the place to be named just the source as in was it word of mouth, social media or from the horses mouth itself.

"privacy", the usual excuse

We should be given a list of cases each day by county and rough location, as well as method of transmission.

For anyone of the Swedish persuasion, by a Nobel Laureate economist.

Public health measures don't f*ck the economy, the virus does.

Because many don't go to pubs/restaurants/gyms/school/recreational shopping/on holiday in the middle of a pandemic.

Despite what Anders Tegnell of Sweden hoped.

Got my hair cut earlier this week and while waiting I noticed that the guy in front of me wasn't wearing a mask, the barber told me that he said he had a medical condition and couldn't wear one. What conditions would they be exactly? I'm guessing someone with certain respiratory conditions if anything would need to be a lot more careful.

My 65 year old mother went to get her hair done two days ago and everyone was great to wear masks, but an electrician barged in without a mask in the middle of it and the postman came in looking for directions not wearing one either. It's always bloody 50+ year old men being complete utter gowls.

I assume the towns he named are the location of clusters, and he only used that to answer a question about why Laois was under lockdown, I'm sure

Might be no harm in future if they did the same. I think a lot of people only think Tullamore, for example, when Carroll Meats is mentioned.

Doubtful. We’re in a totally different position now than in March. Unless things spiral totally out of control and overwhelm the hospitals I don’t think we’ll see another country wide lockdown, we just can’t afford it

The current daily county data is most likely in the press releases.

Ronan Glynn seems to take account of the importance of getting the information out quickly (before HPSC confirmation).

Many 'news' journalists (as opposed to health/science ones) may not understand the importance of accurately and quickly relaying the information.

If that's the case they are going to have to post the Guards or army around points around the Spanish Arch area in Galway, young ones drinking and partying. I know they eventually do send the Guards to clear the area at night.

If ACE disappears from this thread, it is pretty much over! He keeps this place going, surprised no outlet has tried to sign him or her up yet tbh.


He knows more than most journos out there at the moment.
