Would you now? Get onto Tesco for their security tape and youâll see it went down as described. It was an over the top and uncalled for reaction.
Indeed it was.
Yeah, again, people jumping off a diving board outdoors is more than socially distanced enough.
people standing one after the other on the steps queuing for a go off the top isnât though.
If you go in a shop there are markers for standing 2 metres apart while queuing etc
You decide whatâs safe and what isnât though.
We were walking the same way?
sorry mate. I didnât know it was you with the mask

Ok, consider it, how is a shop different to a diving board?
Because you were following him.
itâs bigger and you can stand further apart.
Do you think social distancing shouldnât be followed outside or something?
No mate - that bit was a little bit of dramatic effect ⌠but cancelled with the trutful part in brackets that says we just happened to walk the same way - I thought one of the top 5 smartest posters on here would see the little dash of nuance there.
Itâs far far far more difficult to spread covid outdoors. Someone would essentially have to cough or sneeze on you. Indoors it spreads relatively easily from build up of breath, even from asymptomatic people, this doesnât happen outdoors. The risk outdoors is extremely limited. Even indoors you have to be within two metres of someone for a significant period of time to be considered a close contact. Leaving aside the night and day difference that being outdoors makes, people on diving boards are within a small distance of each other for a very small amount of time. And all this at a time when infection rates are low.
So the risk is small to zero and itâs summer and people should be allowed some release. Instead you have people going âthatâs not two metres! Eek!â
Itâs not the same thing as being inside and shutting down the diving boards was a ridiculous and extreme overreaction.
so social distancing shouldnât be practiced when numbers are low? I wonder what that will lead to?
Go and talk to any garda, they have zero intention of enforcing anything over Christmas. Expecting them to is perverse, theres many in Govt who actually understand this and then you have absolute numptys like Stehen Donnelly

Iâve spoken to a few guards in recent timeâs and theyâve understandably washed their hands with it.
Ditto. Nphet would want to remember these lads signed up to catch actual criminals not families meeting for the Christmas or a fella having a pint. But the problem is of course zero covid merchants like Nphet have zero grounding in the real world

And when I say that I found out this afternoon that my brother in law and his family are close contacts as a result of a case related to a funeral.
They are the current scapegoats from NPHET and the government with fuck all evidence. In particular in Limerick where the student population is being blamed when the hospital is riddled. Why is the hospital riddled? Goes back to years of underfunding and over crowding. Its no surprise it is a hot bed thanks to years of successive goverments ignoring the real issues.
In general the scapegoating and finger pointing from the powers that be is disgusting

There hasnât been a single Covid related death in ICU in UHW Ardkeen. Which is quite extraordinary.
that is the result of contact tracing. They saw an outbreak related to the University. What do you want them to do? Lie and say there was no outbreak?
What scapegoating was there? They just reported that there was an outbreak in the hospital and an outbreak in the University
âThere is a large outbreak linked with the hospital in Limerick so we are seeing cases in the community linked with that outbreak and we have also seen a very large outbreak linked with student activity in Limerick,â he said.
While, Dr Glynn did not elaborate, a Limerick GP says she is aware of âmany partiesâ taking place over the past two weeks.
A GP and the Limerick leader are not the powers that be.
