That seems an abundance of caution. The situation in India seems to have gotten out of control very quickly and its now grave... I think it really deserves its own discussion topic.Anyone watch that Indian doctor on Prime Time? The male doctor?
He was on a Zoom call from India. He’s fully vaccinated but has tested positive for Coronavirus. He’s asymptomatic and is on day three of a ten day quarantine.
I agree with you. As far as I can see people have moved on an are following their own rules rather then the official guidelines.
My son is cranky that he can’t go on play dates whereas many of his friends have had regular play dates in recent weeks.
I did allow him attend a kids birthday party on Tuesday. It was in a park next to the school. There were about a dozen households represented.
The week after the Easter holidays I noticed a neighbouring family not around. They were back the following week, overheard him saying to someone “but we had negative tests, so it was OK”, and she’s had hair straightened.
Then, of course, there are my neighbouring house extensions which continued all through Lockdown Three.
And that’s just local to me.
All through Lockdown Three (until the lifting of the 5km limit) the Gardai have had a well advertised 24 hour Covid checkpoint outside the Commons Bar on the N20.
Meanwhile there’s been a constant stream of cars on the Old Mallow Road and Redforge Road looping around the checkpoint.
As far as I can see the Government are following the public.

For my locality Dublin Bay North there was a huge surge in traffic around Howth & Clontarf after the 5 km limit was lifted.I've seen widespread non compliance also but it's countrywide imo. I have adult kids/ family/ friends in different parts of the country.
The 5k rule was widely ignored when it was in force.
There were as many D reg cars on the Hook peninsula in Wexford last weekend as I've seen at any time pre Covid . It will be the same this weekend I'd imagine.
There are D reg cars owned all over the country so that doesn't necessarily mean the people in Hook are from Dublin, though many probably are.I've seen widespread non compliance also but it's countrywide imo. I have adult kids/ family/ friends in different parts of the country.

The meet ups and the booze ups, especially amongst the younger generation never stopped.
Last two funerals near me saw about 150 in the cemetery at one and over 400 at the other ( 18 yo in tragic circumstances) Aware of several other funerals where numbers in the graveyard way exceeded the limit.
Some hairdressers and barbers continue to operate locally and I know that to be the case from friends / family in other parts of the country. Beauticians too !
Free Home STI test kits were suspended in January due to inability to cope with demand.
I could go on.
Yes, but they greatly reduce the chance of you getting infected by it to an extent that you have a sufficient viral load to pass it on, even if you are exposed to it.he vaccines don't stop you contracting sars cov2.

I didn't see it but what was his point ? As far as I can see the vaccine worked as intended in his case ie he isn't ill ( yet anyway) even though he's tested positive to sars cov2 . The vaccines don't stop you contracting sars cov2.
Friends of mine let their child go and get his haircut 'because they are all doing it'.

Just watched this on the 9 O' Clock news tonight. I know if it was my family we would all have been arrested along with the other family and everything would have been forcibly stopped. Can't believe it went ahead and was allowed to go ahead. Absolutely ridiculous laugh made of the law by the people involvedA timely reminder that restrictions have been eased but not lifted:
More than 120 revellers defy court order to attend wedding party in Longford

Is there definitive evidence of that ? As a healthy, fit man with no underlying conditions the only appeal of the vaccines to me is that they might prevent transmission of sar cov2. I don't and never did have the slightest concern about contracting sars cov2 in terms of my own health.Yes, but they greatly reduce the chance of you getting infected by it to an extent that you have a sufficient viral load to pass it on, even if you are exposed to it.
I'm of a similar mindset. This suggests that vaccinations reduce transmissibility and while the Studies are all early stage logic suggest that a lower viral load should lead to lower rates of transmission.Is there definitive evidence of that ?

Yeah it's laughable but entirely predictable. Breaches of the restrictions are widespread anyway though. Huge amount of tourist traffic in South Wexford last weekend again and any amount of house parties going on last Sunday night.Just watched this on the 9 O' Clock news tonight.

As your link says they are still trying to find out , but small studies not just in the UK have shown reduced transmission by varying percentages.I'm of a similar mindset.
