    He was only diagnosed on Friday, so hardly fit enough to leave hospital.

    The white house has a fully functional 24/7 medical facility. He is not really being discharged, just moved to a different facility for optics.

    Didn't Leo say in one of his first national addresses that the government would "always put your health first"? That's clearly gone out the window now.

    You get the impression the level 5 leaks didn't go down well with government at all.

    And wasn't it leaked by the government?

    I am not saying there are any guarantees of course there aren't. But the fright of possible level 5 might wise a few people up, hopefully along with the Gardai cracking down

    Level 3 won't work. The experts have said as much.

    Tony's Level 5 works but it's doesn't have an exit plan that doesn't keep retuning back to level 5.

    Any synopsis of Claire Byrne to save me the agony?

    Just more glad-handing and excuses I assume... Hope it works out for the government. If not, hope they react in a timely fashion. It's a wreckless gamble.

    100s of thousands of people health is been put first by not going to level 5

    Leaked by NPHET was my impression. Open to correction though.

    I'm not sure why you would expect randomers on teh interwebs to have more and clearer information than the government's own sources. It's unclear is all I can say.

    The one line that stood out for me was “It’s about protecting lives and protecting livelihoods” and that to do one you have to do the other. No one wins by signing 200k people onto the dole tomorrow.

    It’s been discussed here so much but finally the discussion about hospital capacity and improving it seems to have entered the political and media sphere.

    Goldengirl -

    Are Covid ICU cases now a specialism in themselves? Speicifc drug cocktails etc. Could there be fast tracking of training different to other ICU cases e.g. post-op?

    It depends what their aim is, if they can slow spread down while not wrecking the countries economy.

    What other comparable countries have gone to the equivalent of level 5 and it worked?

    New Zealand for one is in zero way comparable.

    Level 5s aims would not work either imo.
    We have open airports, and much more worryingly a basket case in northern ireland where they don't seem to have the money to push any kind of a stronger lockdown. Plus the main party is more keen to be seen to follow what the rest of the UK are doing above anything else.

    No. There has been no mention of prohibition of the sale of alcohol.

    The day the government abandoned the elderly and those most at risk. Disgusting.

    So the rest of the country goes to level 3,
    Does that mean pubs and restaurants are closed and can only do takeaway or outside dining a la dublin (level 3.5) or are we at proper level 3 with pubs and restaurants open with added restrictions?

    Is there an answer to the above question on this forum or is it sniping and bitchy comments only on this forum?

    I'm not going looking for it but it was answered earlier. And it's readily available on copious news sites
    However, there will be no indoor seating permitted in pubs. Instead there will be a maximum of 15 patrons allowed outdoors.

    None at all, have your party with as much booze as you can fit in the boot of a car...

    I don’t.
    But maybe I missed the part where they clearly announced the above information and someone on here might have heard that bit.
    That ok with you yeah?
