Lads I just think this deserves sharing. A team in Galway are currently trying to design an easily built and put together ventilator which can be rapidly built and deployed. It's to be an open source device so anyone or any nation will be free to use the designs to make their own. Non profit

Saw it in the journal this morning

They currently have about 36k of the 50k needed, just said I'd share it

You’d be afraid to admit you tested positive on here as someone would look for a source 😜

Possible you have it or not showing symptoms yet, or you may not ever show symptoms. Or you could touch the shopping basket, then touch your face and get it. You are minimising the chances though

Encouraged, but taking into account social distancing protocols. No point in having hundreds crowding onto a small beach. People need to consider their surroundings and if they feel they can stay away from others

Thankfully, he'd have to invade your space for 15 minutes to make any difference, so the actual trolley/basket is your biggest danger there!

New York could get bad.

Cases have tripled and 1 in 5 need hospital care.

The Naval ship Trump promised them is in for repairs.

Average 5-6 days incubation, outlier at 14 days - wish Lidl would do more enforcing like Tesco et al

Definitely go somewhere or you will go a bit mad. Just maintain a decent distance from other people.
I am still walking the dog two or three times a day, just avoiding people and picking quieter places to walk him

This is extremely important to know. gmisk and mugsy are correct here. Get out but stay away from other people is the general guidance here. Your sanity depends on it.

Still along way from Leo's predicted 15000, maybe his estimate is like a Ryanair flight time!

If we miss Leo's prediction by 10,000 by the end of the month, it is a sign that everything which has been done worked, rather than it wasn't needed.

At this stage there is no protocol. Have you considered all types of risk. What if ran out of petrol and needed to get it in a filling station. The person behind the counter could be positive. Or the person in the queue. Or if the car broke down and you had to be transported by a driver who is positive.

Is cabin fever that bad at this stage for a trip to the beach. Would an early morning walk when no people around be better. I think taking the least risky option while still remaining healthy is of paramount importance. You are the best person to make the decision but think about scenarios rather than best case.

Heard of one guy in Carrick on Shannon who was in Tesco. Staff couldn't give him a product he wanted as it was sold out so he spat at them. They should have had him arrested and charged with assault.

Those young people could be responsible for an older personal getting infected and dying.
Of course as long as they don't know about know they caused the death it doesn't really matter does it?!

Technology can't replace face to face meeting.

Keep up the finger wagging Biddy.

Maybe they need to introduce a minimum spend to reduce the numbers even more.

No, take a look at some of charts and projections. Or take todays number and increase by 30% each day from the previous day it will get to 15,000 quiet fast.

The local supermarket is giving out disposable gloves, then once you're finished your shop, there's a sanitising dispenser at the exit - also have hand sanitizer in the car afterwards.
