"Locking the stable doors after the horse has bolted! 6 KE REG Cars with luggage passing through Roscommon within a 5 minute period earlier. Can't blame them really. " It's a Friday in the middle of the summer. Staycation maybe ? Doubt they decided to burn their house and head for high ground. I have a Kildare reg car, does that exclude me from travel even though I live in Wicklow ? | |||

"Listening to the radio and they were talking to a woman who own a florists. she said if they lock down her business will go under. she said shes after losing a lot of weddings and commercial contracts and if a lockdown happens she wont be able to reopen. I can only imagine what she and a lot of other business owners and staff are going through right now" This is awful but if they lockdown the whole country it will close so many businesses, I do think area by area and hope that people will abide by it. | |||

"Every morning The N7 and N4 have a huge amount of traffic heading towards Dublin These people are obviously the ones that can't work from home so that probably won't change. Everyone knew that the meat factories were going to be a big problem but nothing was done to them because Ireland Inc needs food and agriculture to keep moving. I've worked during the last few weeks in the factories involved and they did a huge amount of work to protect the workers. However to process meat safety to make sure its safe to eat the conditions in the factory are such that the virus can thrive. Low temperature throughout and always a breeze to keep changing the air to stop the meat from going off. The factories will reopen before all the small companies sacrificed to save them " meat factories are a perfect breeding ground for covid..the germans did an experiment in a cold environment like a meat factory and it showed that covid can spread 26ft away from an infected person..they had outbreaks in their own meat factories..its worrying with winter approaching..air will naturally get colder and this thing will go crazy altogether..think most people will become infected its a case of when not if | |||

"I believe its only a matter of time before we all catch it. Its relatively harmless to those with strong immune systems. I think if we boost our immune systems this summer, with lots of sunshine on our skins, healthy eating and exercise, we have a good chance of getting over, what is really a bad flu. " Herd immunity is the only way we will get through this. However it has proven fatal to some with no underlying health conditions so I don't agree with your statement that it is 'relatively harmless' | |||

But, we've survived MARS, SARS, MRSA, avian flu, swine flu,.. And if youve travelled, malaria, dengue fever, ebola, polio, tb, and lots of other horrible diseases. We live in a risk averse society, where NO risk is acceptable . There comes a time where we have to decide if we want to live,and take the risk, or live miserable lives. | |||

"From RTE Residents of counties Kildare, Offaly and Laois will not be permitted to travel outside of their counties except for in limited circumstances, including travel to and from work, under plans agreed by the Government. Restaurants, bars, cinemas and gyms will be closed for the localalised restrictions, which are due to come into effect from midnight tonight and remain in place for two weeks. But crèches will remain open and preparations for the re-opening of schools can continue" Second wave definitely on its way .. | |||

However it has proven fatal to some with no underlying health conditions so I don't agree with your statement that it is 'relatively harmless'" 8 people under 65 have died from it that didn’t have underlying conditions but that doesnt take into account heavy drinking, smoking and most of all obesity which it has a direct link to deaths. | |||

"it's ridicoulous, they let people in the country from affected areas and shut down a few county's " Your profile says you are from Naas ? So therefore you should rightly be included in the lockdown. College of mine is now off work through no fault of his own because he shares a house with a guy who works in Irish dog foods, one of the first big localised break outs occurred there and the vast majority of employees are foreign nationals sharing homes and in some cases beds. This could be anywhere in Kildare or the surrounding counties now as there are a high number of meat and food processing plants in the location. All with the same type of low paid employees in similar living conditions. If there isn't local intervention and lockdowns then in three weeks time we will all be under lock and key. What other choice does the government have | |||

"The factories that caused all the hassle are reopening on Monday just as small companies go bust all over the place and the others have to close for 2 weeks They refused to pay sick pay so the workers feeling ill took paracetamol to pass the temperature test everyday and to work as long as possible ...thats how they got huge amount of sick workers " Once u test positive u can claim €350 which is probably as much as the meat processors pay However i get ur point the processors know there's an issue and should have being actively encouraging early declarations | |||

Ireland, flights and ferries for freight only , should not be that hard to flatten it back again, and what’s the deal with Americans etc coming in and doing whatever the Fuck they want? No quarantine , no restrictions , no fuck all, Madness " That's exactly what should've been done when it reached Italy, but sure the flights kept coming. More worried bathe economy but that ends up fucked anyway, 2 weeks full shut down at the start and we would have full control. | |||

"Its the same old same old ,close the ports stop flights ,them lot crossing the border,open the pubs, sure what harm would a few pints do you ,its all the goverments fault,they are not doing enough ,i cant belive what they are doing,they wont stop me going on holidays, why didnt they do this sooner ,why are they doing this now ,so on and so on and so on and the very same people wont do a simple thing and wear a mask,or in a que at a shop they are up your fucking arse ,thats the problem with people in this country today no one wants to take personal responsability give me free water , i want a house for nothing,one of the highest rates of dole and pensions in the EU and we still want more sure mary lou will fix it " Totally agree seen a post during the week on another social media platform giving out that hand sanitizer wasn't been provided at a tourist spot. People think it's appropriate to steal it from churches and people expect businesses and other places to provide them. They have been shut for weeks. The cost of kitting premises out, training staff etc and people haven't the cop on to but a small bottle of sanitizer and carry it themselves God bless the Irish entitlement | |||

"Locking the stable doors after the horse has bolted! 6 KE REG Cars with luggage passing through Roscommon within a 5 minute period earlier. Can't blame them really. It's a Friday in the middle of the summer. Staycation maybe ? Doubt they decided to burn their house and head for high ground. I have a Kildare reg car, does that exclude me from travel even though I live in Wicklow ?" I’ve a Kildare reg that I bought in cork living in Waterford? | |||

"I believe its only a matter of time before we all catch it. Its relatively harmless to those with strong immune systems. I think if we boost our immune systems this summer, with lots of sunshine on our skins, healthy eating and exercise, we have a good chance of getting over, what is really a bad flu. " That's me funked so! I've been busy drinking and bbqing every chance I get during lockdown and smoking like a trooper. Ah sure, I'm on the way out regardless. Anyone for the last charity ride there? | |||

"Look obviously one too many wasn't going by the easy guidelines set out for all of us this could have easily happened anywhere else a D i wouldn't be surprised if it does at some point some just simply couldn't give a damn about what's going on and it is a big kick in the face to those who are going by the rules Then we have the good people in the government allowing people from high risk countries to enter here making things worse " Agree totally | |||

"Whole country needs to be locked down again. Close every thing. " This actually not possible as our whole economy will crumble.. Regional lockdowns are the way forward.. Just unfortunately it's these 3 first.. Its gonna happen to our places as well so get ready for it.. Dublin should of been lockdown a long time ago with over 12k case that came from there since the start. | |||

I'm self employed and Kildare is half the name of my business but a lot of work comes from Dublin, meath, Westmeath etc but i havnt had a single phone call since the lockdown was announced. The last lockdown nearly ruined me but I reckon this is gonna shut me down. | |||

We get tested at work we don't stay away until results come back. The only ones who arent allowed in and go to get a test outside of work is any who have been somewhere like the bars shops etc where outbreaks have happened.Unless Carrolls have had an outbreak in there they are within their rights to allow work to continue as the testing is precautionary. | |||

"Also I know it looks bad on paper but we as a country have only had 4 deaths in the last 15 days and as far as I know 13 people in ICU at present " But the death figure is almost a false hope because this time around most of those who have contracted it are under 50 and are in a much better position to fight it. The worry is if the infection rate continues to climb it can only increase the risk of more elderly people picking it up. I suppose people have to make a choice as to what they deem an acceptable risk | |||

It also shows you the incompetence of the government to actually deal with arising problems, rather than being proactive they sit it out and hope for the best. Which leads to more general questions: what has the government done in the last 5 month to be prepared for a winter with covid-19? My fear is fuck all. " I totally agree there fog.. The whole thing since it started has been a fuk up regarding how the goverment handled this. All pr and spin and the sheep thinking they doing a great job dealing with it... Total mismanaged.. And yes the winter ahead will be a nightmare. They might tell us they have a plan in place. More pr bullshit. Just wait until the flu virus hits and it be difficult to tell between it and corvid..thats when we will see trolly records broken..

I know a lot of companies have told employees not to enforce it for that reason especially when there are going to certain shops spoiling for a fight over it. That and staff ain't paid enough to deal with idiots who believe the anti mask propaganda that is doing the rounds. | |||

"10 cases confirmed in a factory near cashel today...and more in a meat factory we're going to be in full lockdown again... " The economy is already in a bad way. Do you really think that the government want to cripple it altogether by doing another full lockdown? If they do anymore it will likely be the same way that they have done it here in kildare, laois and biffo country. County by County back a phase. To do a full lockdown would be pure and utter madness | |||
