Horrendous decision to let them in. The US is a basket case and anyone flying in should be in quarantine.
Another economic over health decision.
Ireland have done well in this virus outbreak and they'll throw that away if the tourist industry has their way.
The pandering to spivs is a deadly disgrace in this crisis, we see it over here with the restaurants and ale houses serving their muck and being subsidised for it.
We have a requirement that foreign visitors fill out a form and are supposed to self-quarantine for 14 days, it's a joke.
R rate already back above 1 ten days after pubs reopened. 75% of new infections are under 25 years of age.
Lobby groups win out again.

Weekly figures, from
% calculations, and therefore mistakes, are my own
All figures are UK Wide. The dates are different for different measures because of the way the data is collected and/or calculated. The finer grained data is on the website if anyone's interested in their own geographic area.

30th June : 749.1
Down 26.6%
Patients in hospital
8th July : 2248

2nd July : 239

Deaths : 7 day daily average
7th July : 74.1
30th June : 102.6
Down 27.7%
Pubs opening and other relaxations won't have fed into those figures yet, and probably won't start to be seen in cases and hospital admissions for a couple of weeks, with deaths lagging by more than that. Seems to me, we're walking a tightrope, but, as of yet, we havn't fallen off.
Time will tell if the risks being taken in relaxing lockdown are about right, too high, or too low. I'm still in no rush to go into a pub or restaurant.

Don't you have quarantine restrictions in place?

Me neither. Not a chance.
We nattered the other day about the next 2 or 3 weeks being key to all this. Like you, I feel more than a little bit wary that we seem to be running a bit too quickly.
Non compulsory, flights into Ireland have never stopped, just nobody was flying. You can fly into Belfast and drive to Dublin if you don't want to fill out the forms in Dublin airport.
Even if you do fill out the forms it's up to you to self isolate for 14 days, you might get a phone call to make sure you are isolating but even then its non compulsory.

No mate, but allowing much freer movement of people, small gatherings, shop openings, some school kids returning, going to the beach and parks, will all have been included in those figures. As will many of the unlawful mass gatherings and demonstrations and street parties.Weekly figures, from

I don't know about you but I think it's really pleasing to see the figures reducing by such percentages at a time we are trying to open up the economy. A lot of people criticised these steps when they were announced, but it doesn't appear to have slown down the reduction in cases. In fact the reduction in the infection rates seem to have speeded up over the last couple of weeks if anything.
I agree that this last step is the most important one yet though, so let's hope it doesn't encourage another spike. On that note I'm just off with the missus down to the local pub for the first time since they opened. If I can't get a seat outside we'll come back.

I thought I read somewhere that you had restrictions on Brits coming in (except from over the border obviously)

Not seen it today, but funnily enough I looked at google maps just now and it is moving fine. Ergo, not rammed.
