Thinking of ringing HSE tomorrow

MM on Tonight Show, weak waffling as usual.

As a person he's a nice guy but lost all respect for his leadership, he had the opportunity to clear out old guard and Tacateer element and hadn't the balls.

Talking and talking but saying nothing of substance.

My brother finally came home from Cardiff.
I was concerned that he would be trapped there.

We video phoned when he went home to my parents (68,77) and saying I should call up over the weekend.

I was intending not to visit my parents at all at this time.

I'm unsure of what to do.

If it was me I'd leave it for 14 days.

Eamon Ryan for Minister of Salads.

Just got around to watching it now. If that wasn't a rallying call I don't what is. I could see that on Reeling in the Years in the future, "Ireland is in the grip of a devastating pandemic...meanwhile Eamon Ryan discusses growing window sill salads".

Pensioners have a very odd obsession with physical cash which could prove fatal at the moment. Many seem clueless that you can use your bank card in a shop. They insist on withdrawing cash from an atm, bringing it to the shop and getting the change.

Maybe this virus is a further kickstart to an exclusively cashless society.

Can pensions be paid directly into bank accounts? If it can be done, surprised it isn’t being pushed more.

Did she go back to work to help out ?
At that age , very brave !

Yes, she is gone back 4 days a week to help out, starting yesterday. I’m still trying to talk her out of it because of her age, but she just wants to help. She’s well aware of the risks, but as she says the country needs everyone they can get.

I’d rather see student nurses than retired nurses helping out though. Student nurses are young and it won’t be as risky for them if they do get infected.

Printing tons of new money would just lead to inflation and possible hyperinflation where money becomes totally worthless.

So that's a terrible idea.

Getting gas, electricity, landlords and mortgage lenders to suspend all required payments for 4-8 weeks like in France is much better option

It is possible to social distance and still shop. A complete lockdown is not yet required, what is required is mass testing and social distancing.

You cannot find every possible case no matter how much you test.

There's probably people walking around with mild symptoms who will never go for a test. If they couldn't be bothered going for a test they surely couldn't be bothered isolating.

There really are a lot of very stupid people out there and only an enforced lockdown with heavy fines will make them isolate. Voluntary isolation just doesn't work with many people.

A newborn baby who tested positive for COVID-19 at North Middlesex hospital, UK has now been confirmed to be "out of danger".

The mother tested positive at North Middlesex hospital, in Enfield, with results coming through after the birth. The baby was tested for COVID-19 minutes after being born.

No I've to go to work unfortunately. But I'd rather be stuck at home than risking my health each day being around loads of people. But I've to go to work to pay the bills.

That's exactly my point, we all have bills to pay. How are we supposed to pay bills if I'm stuck at home.

Yes they can.
A lot of older people prefer cash and some enjoy the social interaction at the PO.

Thus closing the remaining POs.

By the way, number of people of all ages who don't use the 'plastic touch', amazes me.

On a serious note, this man should not be allowed into government.

Were they not questioned about waiting lists today in the briefing and said they had no knowledge of this?

RedFM spreading the news that 62 of the 191 were from cork when it was 62 of the 350. Messaged them so hoping they fix the mis-information

Its not that high. 1000 people die worldwide daily from flu, Europe is about 5-8% of the world's population.

Its not an obsession with cash. People are creatures of habit and also are not familiar with bank cards etc. It will take a long time before we transit to a cashless economy.
