This afternoon.
The Department of Health, Dublin 2.
Via RTE News:
Prof Philip Nolan said NPHET is now asking people to cut down on social contacts.
“If you are planning to see 15-20 people next week it would be much better to see eight, nine, 10,” he said.
“Reducing the social contacts by 30 to 40% or equally seeing how much more careful you can be in each of those social contacts,” he added.
Dr Tony Holohan said cutting social contacts and being more careful has worked before.
He said it not as if people have abandoned all precautions and if there was no suppression the R number would be 6 to 8 but people have taken measures to bring it to 1.4.
He said people should think about rationing “the kind of discretionary activities you might undertake“.
Dr Holohan advised against in participating in high-risk social activities with vulnerable people.
Socialising at greatest level since pandemic began – NPHET (RTÉ)
Update:
Health Minister @DonnellyStephen tells the Seanad that the R number is above 1 and he calls for a reduction in people’s “discretionary social contact”

Will do, Stephen.
This is like SKY rolling news once you get into it there simply is no end and you’re trapped in a never ending cycle. like that time Raoul Moat went on the run, simple times…..
Break the cycle kids, stop watching the news because the news is there to frighten you.
If this was a deadly public health crisis you’d already be dead. You’re not.
Enjoy yourself, it’s later than you think.

Yeah thanks Philip and Tony. Do you think I have that many friends? Pffffrrrrr
The experimental concoctions don’t work then- but keep injecting yourself with them anyways.
And if you grow a third leg or a second head, sure what odds.
Classic Tony. A self-serving declaration (“We know it works”), throw in a bit of R number, and then give ’em a bit of the old “next two weeks are crucial” guff, He could do these gigs in his sleep by now
I’m kinda shocked (but not really).
For the last 18 months a certain group of posters here have been calling for a removal of all restrictions, protect the vulnerable, and leave us to take personal responsibility (and more recently have moved to anti Covid-vaccines) .
Now, we have Philip Nolan / NPHET effectively saying the same thing, asking people to take responsibility, cut down on social contacts, and those same posters are STILL complaining… admit it yiz are just anti-NPHET.
Anti 5th column. Anti undemocratic dictates. Anti psychopathic scientism™. Anti fraudulent ‘vaccines’ that have been pushed on an unsuspecting and trusting public.
Now, we have Naomi Campbell / NPHET effectively saying what exactly?
I hear some fly off to Spain in a tin can of recycled air full of hundreds of people and get up to lord knows what once they get there
Dr. Doom cancelling Christmas for a second year in a row. I know he is only doing his job but people are fed up looking at him. Everyone is asking the same Question but they not know the answer. When is this madness going to end?
