    The whole bubble thing is nonsense.
    Travelling the length and breadth of the country to get the ride a few times a week? Ridiculous

    To be honest, I don't see what your issue is. If you have two people living alone in isolation, I don't see the risk in them seeing each other. Is this about Covid, or are we now on a crusade to stamp out every last bit of happiness in people's lives?

    Nobody really exists in isolation unless they're off the grid and growing their own veg. Even then post may arrive or other supermarket items are needed.
    No man is an island.

    Two single people living completely separate and alone and not meeting others and working from home is certainly lower risk but not no risk.

    There is nobody in the country that is no risk, so that's an impossible standard to hold anyone to. I don't understand the need to condem two people for meeting up, if they live alone and have little or no interaction with anyone else.

    Little isn't no. I don't believe people should be traipsing across the country regularly.
    You see no problem with it. I do.
    That's really all there is to it.

    One person's definition of 'little interaction' is very different to anothers.
    Some might say buying a burger in Ringsend is little interaction.

    I've no interest in burgers or Ringsend, but I am interested in why you want to condemn couples for using a bubble to see each other, even when they observe all the rules and it's completely legal.

    What about Tuburdy doing the late late? Or the CMO going on that show? I suppose you'll say that's critical work :D


    How about rugby and GAA going ahead during the last lockdowns? :p 'but but they're athleeeeetes'

    Very few people can afford to live alone in Dublin so observation of the bubbles by the letter is largely not possible and only benefits the wealthy

    I understand that, but that would be a breach of the rules unless everyone else in the house never meets with anyone outside. If you're sharing a house, you cannot be responsible for everyone in it, but it does significantly increase the risk

    It does increase risk but why would anyone agree to torpedo their relationship by not seeing their SO? Especially when there are shops open, builders working, sports on etc etc... It's not realistic and it's not a reasonable ask from society

    I'm only ok with bubbling across the breadth/length of the country if the two people live singly alone, work from home and have no other social contact.

    Just look at the news ffs

    The problem there is that all those other things are happening. I'd shut those down too.
    There. Even.

    Growing Covid-19 cases in young people due to visits ‘for a cup of tea’, not house parties, HSE says

    Visits to other households to watch sports matches or for a cup of tea, rather than large parties, were responsible for increasing Covid-19 cases among younger people, chief executive of the Health Service Executive (HSE) has said.

    To be honest they'll always blame something.
    It was house parties, colleges being back, penneys, celebrations after matches, I think it was Supermarkets a few weeks ago and now it's that.

    I'd spotted that alright. Next they'll be telling us the virus spreads more where people congregate.
