Examples

this is no time for X — circumstances rule the action out entirely, and raising it at all is misjudged

今いまは仕事しごとが立たて込こんでいて、休やすむどころではない。

Work is piled up right now, so I can't afford to rest. neutral

I'm way too tired — a movie is out of the question. casual

復旧ふっきゅう作業さぎょうに追おわれており、式典しきてんの準備じゅんびどころではございませんでした。

fukkyuu sagyou ni owarete ori, shikiten no junbi dokoro de wa gozaimasen deshita.

We were tied up with restoration work and in no position to prepare for the ceremony. formal

nowhere near just X — the real figure or degree runs far past the number named, so naming it understates the case

けが人にんは十人じゅうにんどころではなかった。

keganin wa juunin dokoro de wa nakatta.

The injured came to nowhere near just ten. neutral

一回いっかいや二回にかいどころじゃないよ、毎日まいにちだよ。

どころじゃない — では→じゃ, the everyday spoken shape — 花見はなみどころじゃないよ。The full どころではない sounds written the moment it is spoken.

わけにはいかない
Both close an action off, but わけにはいかない refuses on principle — duty, promise, decency — while どころではない refuses on circumstance: 休むわけにはいかない is conscience, 休むどころではない is a crisis leaving no room for the thought.

どころか
Shared どころ, opposite jobs — どころか is mid-sentence and demands a second item to rate against the first, while どころではない ends the sentence, names nothing further, and simply refuses the action as unthinkable.
