    YOU SHOULD HAVE LISTENED TO ME ABOUT THE MOBILITY DATA BEFORE CHRISTMAS

    Not to be that guy but. . .

    You could only have made the observation about the mobility data after the mobility occurred and thus the spread had actually occurred. You needed to be more like a precog and make the prediction ahead of the increased movement and mingling occurring. :p

    Listening to you would have accomplished little. :P
    (Apart from knocking several weeks off the current extreme lockdown duration)

    But you also have no problem prying into something extremely private that is none of your business whatsoever, so perhaps your judgement is a little off today?

    The death wasn't the butt of the joke.

    RIP Emer Holohan.

    Am I missing something here? Tony Holohan has been probably the most mentioned person throughout the whole Covid thing in Ireland...

    You don't know the half of it.

    I was loading my jacket up with like 20 Android phones, and visiting rake loads of pubs and restaurants, just to get the mobility numbers up to present here 5 days later.

    You can tell me I failed, but don't tell me I didn't try

    With restrictions still in place for April, I wonder will we see a repeat of the whole strawberry pickers debacle,
    Will keelings be paying for their 2 week stay in a hotel?

    What are you looking for?
    It was mentioned earlier this evening, and also even earlier today, when a load of posts - including some very nasty ones - were deleted because it was unconfirmed.

    7 day average on cases 821 (it was 861 last Friday

    7 day average on reported deaths 35 ( it was 39 last Friday)

    Extremely slow progress given the level of restrictions, after the last lockdown we capped out at 300-400 i wonder with the variant is this as good as we'll get?

    People have been giving background on Covid victims since it first started.


    This isn’t a new concept.


    Again there is no crime in asking.

    Of course not, it's just rude and insensitive.

    And even if it wasn't those things, I don't think anyone knows. Lets all just move on.

    While I didn't see a hundred people exiting the Mosque, there were enough leaving in close proximity that broke the rules. The Guards should visit their Imam and say "not again".
    Otherwise, it's a one rule for them and one rule for the rest of us. And we've seen that before and it did not turn out well.

    The mobility data was just highlighting the obvious anyway.

    The bigger issue was that all the "Urgent, emergency" language was used up all throughout the year and there was no way to convey the gravity of the situation to the people when it started to get out of hand.

    I disagree, it’s relevant and current.

    When a person in the North died a few months back of a similar age I found a lot of background information on the victim here, the other medical issues he had and an interview that was published with his father after his death.

    It’s important because a media report of a 32 year old dying gives a message to people that in your thirties this is life threatening, but it lacks context and other facts which are as important or possibly more important in coming to a educated opinion of it.

    If you don’t have any interest in it then feel free to mind your own business.

    Point being , .that person in the North, not in the Republic..Somebody gave details to the media and it was everywhere and the family chose to speak out about it as a result because they were upset by the coverage .
    Totally different situation .
    But reinforces why privacy for every individual and their families is important .
    End of. Please .

    If only there was some sort of mandatory hotel quarantine.. oh wait.. its just not implemented!

    Yes theres the 14 day house quarantine "by law" but who knows what these people have been doing. Hopefully they tell the truth and have actually been staying at home!

    They are travelling over to work and staying in cramped accomodation

    Honestly do people really think a variant isn't going to come along that evades vaccines

    Naive

    Tweaking vaccines isn't sustainable either

    They have been talking about the hotel quarantine for about a month. And it's still not done.
    Just lock everything down again instead.
