Well if its essential goods only then its pharmacy and grocery shops only like March and April.

I would be against any shops that are not essential being open because they encourage people to leave their house and when people leave their house they may bump into friends or neighbours and end up chatting, going for coffees and spreading the virus.  Its also causing people to mix with staff in shops for non essential reasons again providing an opportunity for the virus to spread.

This is not a lockdown so dont expect lockdown results in terms of drastically reducing the levels of covid like we attained in June.

I hear people complaining its not working. Yeah because its a very half assed lockdown if one at all.  People are behaving like normal.

Cases have reduced though! 

Mixing outdoors is a lot safer then meeting up indoors. I don't get the problem with people mixing outside or people going to shops when they wear masks and clean their hands.

I'm getting fairly tired of people shifting goalposts or moaning for the sake of moaning. The general public are doing very well. You can't expect people to shut themselves off from the world entirely.

Cases have reduced.  Sure they are still way too high to open up.

Yeah meeting outdoors is fine in one on ones but sure people are not doing that and then some. Look at the scenes in Cork and Dublin last night.  ''Ah sure I am just going for a takeaway pint.''  And then 100 people have the same great idea.  Fairly obvious with drink involved that's going to go tits up.

'Non essential trips'. Not sure what people don't understand about that.  That means not going down to Harvey Norman for a browse just because you are bored at home. 

Sorry but the people moaning are the ones that are going out breaking rules left, right and centre because they dont like the rules and then moaning more when they then have to make stricter rules because the same people didn't follow them int he first place.  ''Sure its big bad Tony Holohan's fault for bossing us around. Who does he think he is?''

People are too soft.  'I don't want to follow the rules because its hard so therefore I don't have to.  I'm entitled to have my few pints.'  

f**k sake. People are being asked to work from home, stay at home except for exercise and essential trips for 6 weeks and be responsible.  It's not that f**king hard!

That's a nice auld rant there TJ but show me the evidence that these things are driving up cases? 

What information are you basing your opinion on that people meeting outdoors are resulting in case increases?

TJ, the government introduced the 6 week L5 restrictions on the back of advice of NPHET. The government never made any actual target numbers for the end of November. The target of 100 was set by NPHET. But listening to commentary today it would appear that NPHET are looking to extend L5 for an additional couple of weeks. Cases have dropped by up to 70% in the past 4 and a bit weeks. Progress has been made. Rightly or wrongly NPHET seem to have lost the confidence of some of the public, and some in government. It'll be interesting to see how things pan out this week. Personally, of greater concern to me is our plan for a roll out of a vaccine considering the comments of UVL last week. The fact that the vaccine task force have yet to formally met does not fill me with confidence.

Where did I say meeting one person outdoors is driving up cases?  Meeting in big tight groups on the piss and shouting and acting the maggot is. 
Ok here's one.  Moycullen GAA club won some mickey mouse competition there during the summer /autumn.  They all ran onto the pitch hopping all over each other dancing and roaring.  There was a major spike in covid cases in Moycullen in the month after and became known as the Wuhan of Galway.

You watch Tipp and Cavan cases spike like hell now in about 3 weeks from now when they all party over the next few days.

Yeah the Government are f**kwits.  I have had criticisms of them all year.  They indeed should have set a target that people knew what they were aiming for.

NPHET are still doing the same job they were doing in March when they were being praised.  The only difference is people are getting tired of hearing the same message.

Like some fat lad who goes to the gym and the gym instructor says your BMI is 30 and you need to get it down.  Then the fat lad does a bit of work for a month and gets it down to 25.  Then decides he's worked hard enough so its time to tuck into the fast food .  He deserves it he tells himself.  Goes back to the gym a month later and yer man says your BMI is 30.  You need to work hard to get that down.  But now fat lad doesn't like the message.  He did a bit fo work a couple months back. That's enough effort for now he tells himself but still blames the gym instructor for him being fat.

Speaking of Covid, decided to check in on The Fat Professor or whatever he calls himself.

Started reading the comments section below his video and this beaut came up.

''Its all about the ''vaccine' thats coming along. laced with 'Nano Micro Chips (AKA Dust) which will control your immune system controlled with 5G where females wont be able to give birth''. 

I literally laughed out loudLOL

Had a chat with a pal over the weekend about it all and the relief that there is a vaccine. He said he wouldn't go near it as he doesn't  know whats in it and it could affect you down the line. This is coming from a lad that has no problem buying Charlie from some bogey who probably has had it up his hole most of the day.

There is a huge amount of people coming out with this nonsense, seemingly oblivious to the fact that the reason we don't have to deal with things like smallpox or mumps is thanks to vaccines. It's nearly a type of bandwagon that people are jumping on!

He also went travelling a couple of years ago and had to get a good few shots. Told him they were vaccines but he wasn't having any of it and was sticking to his guns cause a pal at work told him. Funny thing is his expert pal isn't a doctor but a forklift driver.

There are no spike in deaths though. The average number of deaths in total have not gone up compared to March and April when they were. 
I know there are other things like other long term affects which are not yet really understood and of course we cant go back to a full opening yet as you can't allow it to run rampant. But I do think with a living with covid approach we have taken then the most important thing to keep an eye on is that invisible line between we are coping vs. It is now getting uncontrollably out of hand we we need to take extra action. 
Deaths and hospital capacity are really the items against which to judge and from what I am seeing they are stable and dropping.  Yes they could be better but what cost? I think we only get them better with a full lockdown.

Personal responsibility is really our best weapon and for me, if a few young healthy people want to meet up outdoors then I think that's fine, try your best to keep distance, not shake hands and hug. But then also don't go up and visit your parents in the weeks after if you are going to be taking risks.
I've had to go up to my parents a couple of times during this lockdown and I wear a mask, stand down the other end of the room, dont touch anything and didn't stay long. 
That for me is living with covid.
