Mandatory Hotel Quarantine (MHQ):
How's it work?
Used mostly 2 dissuade people from entering Ireland unless they live here.
Used 2 dissuade Irish people from leaving Ireland as they will b locked up14 days on return.
Hope is 2 reduce importation of virus from abroad.

MHQ proponents claim it will allow us all live life as normal within Ireland and do what we normally do.
However, 4 that 2 happen you have 2 have zero community transmission.
Severe + prolonged lockdown will b needed 4 that.
Then years of MHQ following that 2 keep virus out

MHQ is needed 2 stop importation of cases that could spread like wildfire thro freely moving population (when eventually it happens).
Except it needs 0 EXCEPTIONS 2 work.
Dublin Port alone moved 1.05m Roll-on Roll-off (RoRo) units in 2019.
Supply line workers are exempt

Without supplies then country + economy doesn't function. No jobs = no money 2enjoy free movement.
So MHQ MUST have exemptions.
Who can freely move and interact anywhere in country.
So total population elimination of virus can't occur.
So future lockdowns are inevitable.

MHQ breach needs manhunt 2
potential cases mixing freely in freely mixing society.
A single case will spread like wildfire!
new cases in country is NB.
But success still relies on ppl not mixing++.
4 every1 who came home @ Xmas dozens more Residents mixed with them. 7/8

I see so much implied blame on those who came home 4 Xmas as though they alone spread new variant 
they couldn't have spread it if friends/families hadn't widely interacted.
MHQ may have role but don't buy idea its golden key 2 freedom from lockdowns.
I wish it were so simple
