    The Bundesliga seriously considering stopping from this weekend and not awarding a trophy.

    Not a good sign for Liverpool fans, although the UK seem to be holding off on big decisions for now.

    Looking at our neighbours on both sides, I'm just glad that our leaders are listening to experts. And prime-time gave some good advice too. I'm old enough to remember the mad cow and food and mouth disease and we handled those well. Back then our politicians and leaders listened to the experts and we got over it.

    Amy fcukin' eejit who thinks that experts shouldn't be listened to should have Daniel O Donnell fix their gas leak and go for a very long nap.

    It all depends on testing . If you test everyone.. a very high% will have it .

    If you only test a small amount of ppl .

    It's self explanatory


    That would be the other way around.

    If you were to theft everyone in the country you would find a very low percentage would be positive.

    If you test a small number of people who are high risk - ie symptomatic, close contacts etc, you expect to return a relatively high percentage of positive results.

    So the lower the percentage of tests that are positive, the more certain we can be of catching the majority of cases.

    This to me is more similar to the threat posed by Chernobyl than to that of 9/11.

    Chernobyl, Fukushima and the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami all spring to mind.

    Let's hope the global death toll is nowhere as devastating as the tsunami!

    Coveney on Prime Time reminding us that at the end of the day, he and Leo will do whatever the EU say, regardless of whether it's best for Ireland or not.
    He could be under pressure from France and Germany, which both want to keep borders open.
    Macron attached Austria for closing their borders.
    Could be that France and Germany have more leverage on Ireland (compared to, say, Austria) for all the support during Brexit negotiations.
    First cheque being cashed in, more to follow.

    Agreed, I'm quietly confident we are handling this the way the countries fairing better are. I like that in the latest case reports, each case can be identified and labelled. Contact tracing seems to be the key, they should ask for volunteers. Id happily give my time.

    Aldi and Lidl only allowing four packs per person for most popular items tissue, pasta, tinned tomatoes and anti bacs etc. Proper order fair for everyone.

    Some people will find absolutely any excuse to get a dig at the government.

    Leo takes his advice from professionals. Imagine if he took it from numpties on the internet.

    The decision today was welcomed by the vast majority of people. Only the idiots are disagreeing.

    HIV of course also another disaster to compare it to. Of course the thing with HIV is that they couldn't develop a vaccine for it and it constantly changes - for all we know that could happen here as well!

    Maybe time to stop interfering with wildlife!

    Wouldn't be the first time that the EU pushed us into decisions that weren't in our best interests I suppose...

    SHOPS HAVE GONE CRAZY!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I was in Tesco, Arthur's Quay in Limerick today. I had to queue to almost the length of the store to pay for my 3 items. There were ppl with trolleys full of tinned food, yet we were all bunched together, 😱Security staff directing customers to queues for the tills. Mental.
