An independent newbie knows better?

Your newbie comment is at best facetious.

Her committee work, and the widespread respect her contributions have garnered, has put in more work than others there for a decade and more.

There are over 80 amendments so far from right across the Dáil.

She was echoing the widespread concern expressed, and did it with precision and effect.

Back here again after a break since last Friday.

Haven't left our place in a week. Finally have Kids and Husband (working from home) in a realistic routine that works for everyone.

Expecting a Tesco delivery tomorrow so will see how that goes. If lots of things missing then will go early on Saturday morning to re-stock myself.

My Mum (elderly and with healthy conditions and living 3.5 hours from me) is doing fine. We talk twice a day on the phone. Local shop delivering groceries to her which is working well. Mass on the TV now every morning for her too.

The Italy numbers are still scaring me. As is the UK method of dealing with this.

As are different people's interpretations of social distancing based on contact with my friends and photos on FB etc.

This country is unreal" pubs still locking people in " throw these greedy publicans owners in jail and never let them back into the bar trade when this is all over.

Have italy or the UK released their daily figures yet?

I got a tesco delivery yesterday and they had absolutely everything (~€150 shop) except for a bottle of art n craft paint. They substituted the blue with black. All good.

B*llox theer probably going to be shortage now. Lot of people inc myself use it to treat autoimmune issues. Problem is if we are taking off it for some time it can take 3 months for it to start working again. I don't fancy having major flares again

This was immediately contradicted by the FDA : they have not authoritised its use for Covid, contrary to what Trump announced.

UK death toll went up to 137 (up 33 I think).

Bit below the Italian curve if you compare the numbers

I took Chloraquine as an anti-malarial years ago when travelling India, Nepal and S.E. Asia. It's no longer much use for malaria and other drugs are preferred due to malaria gaining a resistance to it. If it helps with COVID-19 then that's fantastic, it's off patent, ancient in terms of medicine, used by troops in the Vietnam war, and easy to manufacture.

All those idiots that went to Spain last week arriving back in their thousands over the next few days and will they go home and stay away from people and keep their distance from people at the airports?

Italy will surpass China in the next two days for total deaths and they haven't even have the cases yet. Its incredible that themselves and Spain are both being hit so hard with this. Culture must play a part, very similar in how they interact socially.

TDs imagining or suggesting this has not been thought through to a large extent do give an impression that it's more about themselves.

That’s not the point I’m making - if you have willingly travelled out of Ireland for ****e like that then your return ticket should have been revoked weeks ago. We can’t account for the stupidity of people but we can punish them in ways for being such ****ing idiots.

Yes but you are also punishing some British person who will need a hospital bed.
Anybody who went over should have been quarantined in tents on the curraugh and should be last to get a hospital bed if they need one and the British should do the same to their morons as well. People have to be responsible for their action and realise they are consequences to them

Is that the one that had massive side effects?
