It’s making much more sense now.
Michael Martin had a masterplan.
God Bless Fianna Fail and God Bless the GAA.

I knew it was FF. Even when I said it wasn’t I still knew.

With the exception of Limerick where our middle class clubs won the county titles and traitorously refused to decamp to shebeens,trailers and barns

Luckily in true Limerick fashion it was the travellers who went to war with the virus instead.

Mícheál says “people’s right to protest peacefully must be respected”. In Belarus. Over here, it’s met with a €500 fixed notice charge. Figure that one out.

We need to pray for a vaccine cos we have absolutely no plan otherwise. Opening and shutting until infinity isn’t a plan.

[balbec]

20156 cases here today and 301 deaths. Really knocking it out of the park.

[LionelRitchie]

I for one appreciate your morning update of the The Pole Position Mr Balbec. Makes it seem not so bad here for a bit each morning.

[glasagusban]

It bother me that daily case totals are reported everywhere, rather than some sort of per head of population metric. Without the context of the size of the population the case totals per day are meaningless.

[Fulvio_From_Aughnacloy]

It’s not that difficult to work out, mate.

Lockdowns are a plan

[Batigol]

Equally so where there seems to be lags causing a relatively low number and then a shocking high one in consecutive days.

[EstebanSexface]

It is. Its laid out in the living with covid plan. It’s just not a plan you agree with

[Batigol]

The living with COVID plan has been modified so much it’s effectively been scrapped

[Fagan_ODowd]

In fairness to Nphet it appears that they got ahead of the curve early here and asked to put in place the measures that the rest of Europe are only putting in place now. If Leo and Co had listened to them at the time instead of going off on an ego trip we’d probably be at the end of the current lockdown instead of in the middle of it, but we are where we are.

[EstebanSexface]

That is a good point.

Thank God Leo and Co held them off as long as they did or they’d have gone too early and we’d be heading for the 3rd wave already.

I do think that Level 3 restrictions were a good idea but I don’t think there’s anything to suggest we’d be nearly out of it by now if we went to Level 5 earlier

[Fagan_ODowd]

Covid numbers were 517 cases on 5 October when Leo had his hissy fit on Claire Byrne. They were 1031 on 19 October when we went into Level 5. Double what they were two weeks earlier. They are 675 now, 10 days later. I would think at least 3000 people have become infected because the government didn’t follow Nphet’s advice.
