The chair of the Epidemiological Modelling Group advising the National Public Health Emergency Team has said there is a "real danger" of a second wave of virus cases, if the changing of restrictions in place is not done correctly.
Speaking on RTÉ's This Week programme, Professor Philip Nolan said as we look to modifying restrictions to allow people get back to more activity, there was a "real danger" if not done carefully that we will get a second Covid-19 wave. He said there are many things we can do safely without transferring the virus to other people, and as a society we need to think carefully about the things we can get back to doing in a way that does not spread the virus.
There is no cure. There is no treatment. The number of cases and deaths increase every day. We do not have control of this virus. You don't need to be an ' expert' to understand this . 1st wave, 2nd wave,3rd of wave. WTF difference does it make ?
Can someone point this out to LeoVaradkar before more ferry loads of people come in as everyone else stays at home complying with caretaker governments policy
Just look at your history ...... the so called ‘Spanish’ flu It was not one hit I think it was nearer 18 months Lockdown can not be the only plan
when are pubs open
I think we are still in phase one 🤔🤔🤔
You mean it will travel back into the country using our open borders

I am sure there is a lot going on behind the scenes but to be honest the output at the get-together on Thursday was pretty weak. A graph with two scenarios based on the situation two weeks ago. Do they think we are simple? We also add in this don't know element.
Any chance they might leave us get over the first wave first .... Before the implement more .... ' Vital laws '' time is running out and patients wearing thin as a people and a nation .
The economy has to be reopened sometime no economic growth no heath care system no dole or rescue money
Perhaps he might know how this pandemic has affected the overall national death rate?
I tell ya what's a certainty (Not just a danger); increase in suicide, domestic violence, alcoholism, child abuse, marital breakdown, depression, financial ruin.....
This is reassuring. Just a bit of breathing space.
How does he know that if they can’t get to grips on the first wave ? I think he’s just scare mongering to continue to drama , rip to everyone who died but there has to be a light at the end of the tunnel peace ✌️
No Electric Picnic so... 😕
China claim the virus is burned out there after lockdown....The only new cases are from visitors coming from outside China....How did they manage that?..In Singapore virus spiked again after restrictions eased....
There is a real danger, these people are cowards - and the path of least resistance is to let the lockdown drag on till there is no economy left to rescue
