The question is how many weeks would be needed to make a difference? Then if you open back up and have another wave again in early December do you then have to lock down again over Christmas?
Whatâs bet they close from around Dec 8th
This is my issue with it all. A lockdown will see positive results for a while, and ultimately will start to increase again. So are we just going to repeat ad nauseum?

The whole plan is actually titled âLiving with Covidâ not âLetâs hide under the bed from Covid every 6 monthsâ.
If we want to live with Covid we need to accept the accompanying increase in cases and put the capacity in place to deal with that.

Yes. We will repeat. And repeat. And repeat.
NPHET/government think opening up a business you can decide to do at 5 to 9 in the morning and just get on with your day.
Lookit⌠We can argue all day and most of whatâs said here is bang on. But numbers are gonna dictate actions and lead to lockdowns. Thatâs something we ainât gonna escape from no matter how many holes you can poke in it⌠We need to start preaching compliance⌠Nphet and the gov donât look like they will drop lockdowns so if we donât want to be in and out of them we need to start grassing on our neighbours who arenât complying.
Iâve taken the decision to halt my 7 aside football career for a few weeks.

On a totally unrelated note this document dropped late yesterday evening. Remote learning in primary schools. Now Iâm not suspicious but the timing is interestingâŚ

But crèches will stay open? Right? Right?
Surely not nessecary for primary either. They are either spreaders or they arenât
The eggheads are running the asylum my friend, who the fuck knows.
I think a lot of the Nuala, Maura and Breda cohort are of the opinion that 3-4 weeks at stage 5 will end this virus permanently

It will be level 3 till the new year.
Whatâs the point all we will see is parents will let kids out to hang around with other kids on the street as we seen in the previous lockdown. This wonât help the situation

If the vaccine was approved tomorrow weâd still be six months waiting before we had enough doses and enough people vaccinated
