    The figures have gone up for the obvious reason that schools have reopened and the government decided the answer is to close down the economy. Guaranteed this will make no difference to the daily figures for the next 3 weeks. What will Nphet come up with next? Level 10 ?

    The lockdown reduced the R value for Ireland back during the last national lockdown. It reduced it in kildare, offaly and laois. Please explain why you think the stats and doctors are wrong.

    Let's see shall we

    Coming into the winter, and a massive population in a small area Dublin is only going one way.

    Unless people stop going for tests, those numbers are going up

    Social interactions will still happen, and most likely increase now, in private homes.

    Look if people in Dublin aren't going to follow the rules then no doubt cases won't drop and restrictions will stay in place for the foreseeable

    Not sure why the Dubs can't follow the rules like everyone else. Can they not go a few weeks without house parties and the like.

    Dubs? Erm have you been watching the news or reading papers in the last few months? Tipperary, Killarney and so on.

    Plenty of bogapes in dublin , usually the most pig ignorant specimens as regards to covid19. Wait till you see them all pop back up in the local village with their poverty spec bmw and audis, spreading tbe fun countrywide.

    That doesn't help either.

    Its like this county breakdown is driving division rather than unity. And I get (sort of) why its happening

    Trust the jackeens to organise a heep of house parties. They'll be complaining next week when the cases haven't gone down.

    Didnt see many dubs calling for a lockdown in kildare etc recentley.
    Plenty of smug boggers now delighted that they have shouted loud enough to lockdown dublin and cost 1000s of jobs.

    I dont really care, i dont mind the country , but its ignorance to say its all the dubs fault, plenty of country people moved to dublin for work.

    He’s contradicting himself or lying.

    He tweeted today saying they don’t know the source of infections and don’t have the time or resources to study it

    I don’t take a blind bit of notice of what that man says ever since he argued that schools were really safe because “if you remember from your own school days you only come into close contact with about 3 people”

    He’s full of ****.

    Met three sound Dublin lads out surfing yesterday evening.

    It was good to see them in the Banner county.
    They're here all week and probably going home Sunday.

    They're really going to enjoy the rest of their weekend before they head back to lockdown.

    When you look at the map by local area, it's clear there are a few massive hotspots in Dublin.

    Celbridge is worse than most Dublin LEAs

    Ah mr. Hind-sight. Enlighten us, what should the government have done in round 1?
    This is a **** deal for everyone, somewhat more so for a tranches of society but what's clear is that there's a very narrow middle-ground between those who swear by the state broadcaster and those who go full van Morrison. Tbh, either side could accused of looking slightly bonkers

    No mr hindsight here because I never supported lockdowns from day one and as per my posting history have been very vocal about that since the get go. It’s completely the wrong strategy, it’s failed already and will continue to fail over and over.
    Tbh you’re pretty typical of the ever dwindling band of lockdowners- denigrate all who don’t agree with you

    Cases won’t be going down regardless. Impossible to control people to this extent, pissing in the wind

    Was talking to a GP friend of mine last night.

    He thinks They won’t suppress it enough to go back to level 2.

    Level 4 probably inevitable for dublin - potentially full level 5 in a number of weeks

    It worked in the last such regional restriction so why would Dublin be different? The message is about reducing the number of contacts. As always most people doing that will have an effect.
