Construction isn't all shut it seems, as I can see construction workers operating on a building in Dublin right now.

Open up all outdoor activity . Give people something to do . At the moment we are forcing people to mix in each others homes.

Open up all outdoor sports . Allow families to meet outdoors.

Otherwise we will be in the same position at the end of April

That's right. At the very least any Foreign Investment construction has been allowed to continue.

In reality we are not in Level 5 at the moment though, an awful lot of things are operating secretly.

14 day EPI report

Do they usually give that breakdown? I've never seen it before, would've been very interesting previously.

I know that, and you know that, but unfortunately the covideers pretend that if it can't be seen it is not happening.

This x 1000000.

But wont happen becasue of ... "its what happens after and before matches with gatherings blah blah blah"

"And the second thing that we need to bear in mind is that it's often not just the sporting event itself, or the mass, or the particular event that people are attending that causes the virus to spread. It's all the stuff around it, it's people meeting up after matches to go to somebody's house, or in the car together, that's where the virus spreads, unfortunately.

They seem to give it some of the time anyway.

Here is the previous period.

Interesting to note that we have 20 more over 65s admitred to hospital in the last two weeks compared to the previous period.

I've heard so many people asking for the full age breakdown of deaths and ICU numbers and it's been in the 14 day rolling EPI report all along?

I've just been looking it up and the death breakdown by age might be a relatively new addition to the report in the last couple of months. It's very interesting for anyone who had wanted to know just how many deaths and ICU admissions there has been for younger cohorts.

If provided an epi report I'd be told that's admissions in the last two weeks who says that's a typical 2 weeks. Or the stay in icu matters. 18 year olds go into icu for a day while 80 year olds linger for months. The number of icu admissions don't matter.

Information is missing when it doesn't support your point.

Its not very worthwhile at the moment. 16 icu admissions in 14 days. 5 in one age cohort and and less than 5 in 6 others.

In the previous period its 13 icu admissions with less than 5 in 8 different age cohorts.

Its important to note how many of our current icu cases seem to be legacy cases. No more than 29 icu admissions between 3 March and 27 March.

Apparently checkpoints are back on the motorways so maybe it’ll be county restrictions?

Pathetic if so

In Spain at the weekend there was 5000 people at a concert.

In Georgia last night there was fans at the football.

Neither are known for having steller performances with vaccine rollout.

In the UK with 57% of adults having received first dose and just 6% having received 2nd dose they are rolling out an unwinding.

Here we gearing up for 6 weeks of much the same.

Yeah, it's nonsense why they can't release the same day in the same way each day?

It just opens you up to accusations of being disingenuous.

Their back for Easter weekend

stephenjmcd

The examiner and a few others reporting this morning regarding what opens when. Appearently this will be signed off by cabinet tomorrow.

April is pretty much as we know it to be already, its been set out for weeks.

May - non essential retail, hairdressers, barbers etc

June- hospitality

Why is it "pathetic"? Should counties with low covid numbers have to suffer from the consequences of an influx from those with high numbers?

No mention of that this morning. Only listed hospitality in the articles I've read.

Just posted this on the restrictions thread.

Checkpoint outbound on the N4 again from this morning. Looks like theyre setting up for a few days / weeks.

Very convenient that its there the day before an announcement - Id say its to stop a mass exodus from Dublin this weekend - meanwhile us ordinary working people will have to put up with hours of delays trying to get home.

Disgraceful that theyve went back to this sh1t while we`re on the final stretch.

Its a **** show with this lot!!

Apparently these next set of restrictions for 6 weeks so taking us to mid to late May

Hospitality will need to be pushed beyond June Bank Holiday anyway

Couldn't be open for a bank holiday

Indo speculating on countrywide travel in May

Couldn't see that happening but would love for that to be true

Hardly unexpected from a clueless, spineless, regressive and utterly useless government.

Because no other country in the world is imposing travel restrictions on its people for more than half a year.

Then make it own county travel.

FF even rolled out one of their goons the other night to tell us this is a new virus.

Does this new virus exist in any other country?

Don't think so.

Would be nice...but this the quote I took the outdoor hospitality impression from from RTE article..

Taoiseach Micheál Martin will also set out a plan for a broader relaxation in May and June with the return of non essential retail, outdoor dining and personal services - but no dates will be attached to it.

A walk-in in Blanchardstown turning up some high positivity rates of asymptomatic people.

The rate of positivity among people who turned up for testing at the HSE’s walk-in centre in Blanchardstown, one of five in operation in Dublin and Offaly, stands at 4.3 per cent on confirmed results from tests carried out last Thursday and Friday.

It's fully reasonable that we have been told not to leave our houses other than for essential reasons since October last year with a break of a few days (and it looks likely to run until June/July) because apparently somewhere else had a few weeks of tighter restrictions last year.

Scroll down to Cillian de Gascun's comment. Very surprised that anyone would need a source on this view at this stage. It's about as controversial as saying Paris is the capital of France. Can't imagine there's a day goes by without hearing it. Would be far more interested in sources for claims that everyone is ignoring restrictions.

The above may be true . However the main reason is these countries dont have a magic money tree
