Absolutely, sure most of our deaths came from them didn't they? You can only imagine what they would have been like if we didn't lock down

Similar rate of death to Sweden in nursing homes, lockdown may not of had much effect in those places.

Should there be a constrain the restrictions thread?

Might as well just change the relaxation of restrictions title to tightening of restrictions at this point.

Nursing homes should have been locked down from day 1.

No we’re not like them. We’re a tiny fecking island with the youngest population in Europe. A natural defence.

I agree. It's easy looking back and saying that though.

There needs to be accountability in NPHET, Dept of Health and HSE. Systems, processes and communication an utter failure. Badly let the country down. Same outcome no matter who is in government.

Let's not forget the people who ignore the guidance about mask wearing, social distance, limiting household visits, etc. They have let the country down with their selfish and inconsiderate behavior.

Gardaí getting powers to fine those who breach the 5km limit apparently.

Yeah this is nuts.

Suppose I’ll have to buy 6 weeks worth of food so seen as closest shop to me is 8kms!
And that’s a small convenience store that will fleece me for weekly shop compared to large Tesco 13km away!

Dunno what's going on in Louth, that's on the county board.
Testing has happened.
Wexford had a few positives.

Absolutely hilarious that of all the things they're enforcing its the utterly pointless 5km rule

Goldrickssan · 19-10-2020 4:51pm

The HSE experiment is a failure and needs to be disbanded.

Not according to the Louth captain. No testing done.

The only way I would feel ok re going up a level is dear government/hse/nephet if....
Get your fecking act together and by hook or crook have 75 NEW ICU beds and staff by the end of it

Fitz* · 19-10-2020 4:52pm

Are we going to be back to standing outside supermarkets waiting to be let in?

That will be fun in the November Rain.

It was on RTE ONE just now. Level 5 for 6 weeks. Of course this is still not official but I presume they have some inside informations.

It's happening in other counties. 1 out of 32 saying it isn't happening isn't really a good sample size.

It's happening across Europe. We can blame the government/HSE/NPHET all we want but we're in unprecedented times, in the midst of a pandemic. It's a **** situation and we all look for someone to shake our fist to at the end of the day because it's easier than accepting that this whole thing is out of our control.

Doesn't change the fact a second lockdown was preventable. We learnt absolutely nothing from the first lockdown. I'm not just going to accept that as grand. It's horrendous leadership.

Poorside · 19-10-2020 4:53pm

I wonder will they make masks mandatory even outdoors?

still thinking maybe they'll announce restrictions from Friday with schools going off for mid term or am I in dreamland??! then theyll have rest of week to see if positivity rates are falling.....

I don't see them waiting that long with whatever they decide. Some may start even tonight at midnight. Wednesday midnight at the latest

seamus · 19-10-2020 4:53pm

The sheer chaos of this thread is a good indicator that the upcoming lockdown is going to be a mess. People are going to be insanely polarised between the "Why isn't everybody following the rules!" crowd and the "Fvck the rules, I can't be locked into my house all the time" crowd.

Joy.

Caveat being that the proposal may not be what is announced.

Although journalists seem to be getting briefed that we are moving to Level 5 whereas earlier we were told it would be Level 4+.

All these measures while schools remain open feels like building a fortress but leaving the front door open. It's baffling if they won't at the very least close the schools for two weeks along the mid term to kill the current circulation.

This is going to be a period of huge and futile sacrifice from the general public until government finally accept in 3 or 4 weeks time when numbers haven't dropped that schools are a huge part of the problem.
At which point we'll be starting from scratch and facing a Christmas under lockdown.

Their blind stubbornness at insisting it doesn't spread in schools is just infuriating and incredibly stupid.
