People standing in supermarket queues in the wind and rain will all end up dying with colds, extended lockdown after that.

The shops are going to be rammed full tomorrow.

Off-Licences will be like Holy Thursday, completely cleared out.

They really should have brought these restrictions in for 12 tonight. Tomorrow will be an utter sh1tshow in shops, off licenses and retail outlets.

To be honest, while he's not a great speaker, that's probably the best one of those he's done.

Why wouldnt he take questions ffs

Remember when the enlightened on here were saying there would never be another national lockdown and anyone that disagrees was publicly abused on this forum.
It’s nice to value other people’s opinions once in a while even if you don’t agree with that opinion.

Anyway, looks like lockdown until numbers drop, open up, numbers go up, lockdown again all the way until 70% global exposure via vaccine or infection like what was said back in February.

Nice little hop and a skip near the top of the stairs. Was hoping he might break into double step taking but can't have everything :pac:

I would say he is banjaxed.

Also don't forget he was in Brussels having to listen to Johnston and Grove

So all the information given in fifteen minutes: everything is closed for six weeks from Thursday, construction is considered essential work, schools are vital, Christmas will be hard.

Could they not do something nice like drop a free bottle of whiskey to each house every Friday?

Plan was always to keep schools open at level 5.

That still doesn't make it any less silly. Our uptick in cases coincided with the schools reopening. Hard to believe that that isn't having any affect.

If any of those kids were mine I'd come after you with a 2x4. As it stands, I hope some of them come after you with a solicitor. They have no masks on because they are outside and you have no evidence whatsoever of what they were saying to each other. Christ! Is this what Iteland has come to?

Tony EH wrote: »

We're going to L5, but not closing the schools?

That sounds kinda silly.

Teacher here. Personally, I think they are right to keep the schools open. At least when they are in school with us we have them far more socially distanced than their poor parents would, trying to keep them at home and on task while having to WFH at the same time.

Can I go trick or treating if I wear a mask, scary of course, keep within the 5km limit and stay 2m away from your front door?

Agree. But no one cares about that, just looking at what the rules are now.

The messenger is irrelevant.

Why?
Off licenses are still going to be open....

Clothes shops might be mental busy though, I was in town Sunday and they were the ones with queues

Yes they are - some argue they are not.

Sure the HSE wont test anyone, kids in a class are not seen as close contacts of a teacher.(In my brothers case)

The data set is simply not complete.

Aye sitting next to someone who tests positive, while wearing a mask, doesn't count as a close contact according to the HSE. Also my Son's secondary school has had 2 cases in the last week, both kids were off sick on the Friday and tested positive on the Monday and that according to the HSE means no transmission was likely in the school. That's a joke, if the kid was sick enough to be off sick on the Friday then he was sick enough to pass Covid-19 on to others at the school, they also ignore playground interactions for some reason even though the kids are maskless on the playground and shouting, playing etc.

Wind and rain don't cause Colds or 'flu though, they are passed from person to person....just like Covid19.
In enclosed spaces at close contact,hot,poorly ventilated rooms.
Will the association of getting cold causing people to get colds and flu never die?
