That's his point though, that older people are being more cautious and are adhering to the rules better than the younger generations.

Eh Mick you obviously didn't read what I said. You said I am happy lying at home on 350 a week when in fact I said the complete opposite. We cant stay at home forever. It's time to get out and back to do the things we like. Obviously there's precautions we can take but this idea of scare mongering is very annoying. More chance of been in a car crash or getting knocked of your bike but that wouldn't stop you.

Car crashes etc not a valid compariuson. You can do somethimng to control that risk. Drive slower. But covid can get you anyway.. It's easy got. I got it in Madrid on 10 March March even though I was keeping my distance, hand cleaning etc. Ended up with double pneumonia. Wrecked for about 3 months. It's not something I'd wish on my worst enemy. Clue up essmac (Tyrone) - Posts: 1141 - 10/07/2020 21:25:06 2283727 Link 1 |

Ah for gods sake I was using it as an example. It's like you could get injured playing gaa but you still play. Same with covid. It's time to adapt and get in with. Do your necessary precautions but at the same time get on with life.

No they are not. I see 0 evidence of that in shops on the bus or in work

This guy is going to have his fun no matter what, only hope is you keep your distance from more vulnerable older family members like all gaa players should be doing

Your evidence is anecdotal. His is factual. 100% of the 23 new infections reported, were in under 45s. 77% of these were under 25. The media age of newer cases in the last few weeks has been lower, which would suggest older people are being more cautious now.

What's the issue here, aren't they doing in Cork as per guidelines? From what I see the positivity rate remains low in Ireland and if it stays that way the club championships will get underway.

True, but an under utilised and under funded health system won't cope with a surge. More and more Americans coming to Ireland through Belfast and very noticeable on the M6 that more British registered cars pulling caravans on the road the past couple of weeks. Why are our ports and airports open for a free for all? Texas worst hit state in America one of the days this week yet newspapers showed flights from Dallas still rolling into Dublin. Highly likely by end of August we will be back to where we were in terms of numbers and lockdown.

The only thing I can see is that the concept of risk assessment didn't apply and everything was shut down, there is no way that should have been the case had they carried out a risk assessment. Then again after some of the posts I have seen on the subject on here in different threads I am not surprised.

Yes but the people going back to work and being forced to use public transport are more likely to be younger especially in high risk jobs like shops. Pensioners can still choose to grocery shop at quiet times. Young people are also more likely to be in flatshares which they may now have to move back into for work and are also less likely to be living with their partners. Also in the early days there was very little asymptomatic testing so older people with strong symptoms got the tests. So yes more young people are testing positive now but that does not mean young people are more guilty of breaking the rules Breezy (Limerick) - Posts: 1236 - 11/07/2020 10:59:02 2283752 Link 0 |

Have been getting less and less interested in this forum for a good while, but finally here's a post that shows perfectly the level at which this place operates now. Well done this genius and well done mods.

Rumours the issues in west cork are rooted from a house party with 70 at it, anecdotal to be fair... bostonredsox (Wexford) - Posts: 4368 - 11/07/2020 12:44:02 2283757 Link 0 |

True, and then they have the guards going round pubs checking receipts to see if you spent 9 euro on a meal, because we all know that eating something along with our few drinks will protect us from covid 19, bull island is alive and well.

I think this is the problem, you can be really careful and still get the virus. The virus spreads by human contact so its only logical that cases will rise as we open up the country again. I think it is right that we are opening up again but its the pace of it that frightens me. We seem to have opened everything at once without knowing what the effect will be. My god what would a lickdown look like in the depths of winter, it would be a nightare. So we need to do everything possible to prevent a second wave. Now that the decision has been taken to get back playing, I think it is important not to panic if we get an odd case in GAA clubs. We just have to deal with them on a case by case basis. If the situation starts to get out of hand then we probably have to reconsider things. I hope you are fully recovered now essmac, sounds like you had a rough time. As you say, you wouldnt wish it on your worst enemy. Green_Gold (Donegal) - Posts: 1873 - 11/07/2020 13:18:31 2283761 Link 0 |

If that's the case every club will be shut down within a week or two.
