The Bristol Nest 513 Posted May 8, 2020 (edited) I have reliable information regarding the Sunday statement but can't share all 5 three week phases here. Suffice to say that if each phase increased infection rates we will revert to the previous one. Restarting sport behind closed doors is due, if the initial phases do not lead to a rise in the R 0 rate, in Phase 3 on June 29th.

It will be interesting to see how right you are, as usually when someone claims to have reliable information it's BS. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wcorkcanary 4,334 Posted May 8, 2020 Maybe BJ had a word with Varadkar,.... " crikey! You Paddy chaps seem to have got a plan....errrrr ...what is it" Varadkar ..." simple BJ , front up a press conference, tell the people how it is , outline the plan, remind everyone that each stage of the plan is only enacted if everyone plays the game and infection rates carry on dropping consistently" Three weeks later Boris comes up with a plan... funnily enough it's a five stage plan based on incremental freedoms based on downward infection rates. Good Thinking Boris. 😉 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Bristol Nest 513 Posted May 8, 2020 Sorry to tease. I have the generic 5 phase basic plan from a real friend who is really involved but even that changes daily hence a fairly generic plan. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JF 694 Posted May 8, 2020 If they have gone down the June 29th route for behind closed doors then the games would have to be crammed in 2 a week from that date, that coupled with the neutral venues and 5 subs really does leave this all open to be legally challenged by the eventual bottom 3 for compensation. Boris will probably have us all locked away and they can kick off in a couple of weeks.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Bristol Nest 513 Posted May 8, 2020 My copy rewords much of the Irish plan, for example, open up non essential shops in phase 3 but only if accessed from street level with a strict number and social distancing. Shopping malls don't open until a much later phase. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

norfolkbroadslim 223 Posted May 8, 2020 Taking that Ireland plan as an example. I'm struggling to see how the June 29th phase 3 plan could apply to football? "Permit "behind closed doors" sporting activities events where arrangements are in place to enable participants to maintain social distancing". How the heck could you put arrangements in place to enable participants in a football match to maintain social distancing??? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wcorkcanary 4,334 Posted May 8, 2020 Guys, I'd generally be fairly cynical about politics/politicians but have to admit I've been impressed so far with the way the Irish non govt has dealt with this. There has been mistakes such as the Covid payment of € 350 pw given to people including sckoolkids who are over 18 who lost job due to virus , but were earning less than €350 . But they took decisive action quickly and allayed a lot of peoples financial worries. Since the virus became topic no 1 obv a lot has changed in day to day life and listening to the Irish politicians talking ( I know, they've got me believing them) theres a lot of new ideas for social welfare and healthcare reform , most of it sounding fair and progressive. If the UK plan is in fact similar to the Irish one , then it should be met with support as christ knows what else we can realistically do to be safe yet not let stagnation set it. There will be minutae in the plan to argue about on here, of that you can be sure.......so all is not lost.👍😉 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
