    Yep, credit to Supervalu, our local one has been very pro- active over the last few weeks. I feel quite reassured going in there.

    And those screens were being put up as I was there. Maybe it was seeing the red lines marked out on the ground and the gloves in full view but it will help people I think.

    The one in liffey valley were only letting certain numbers in. Red lines on the ground outside the queue and red lines by all the tills. All staff wearing gloves.

    Shame about the f*cling idiots climbing over each other to look at aisles. No social distancing when shopping it seems...

    I just dropped groceries to my mum who lives next door, she was like a bag of cats, nothing was right. She's high risk but she doesn't have to leave the house, as she's got me and my partner on one side and my brother and his wife on the other side. She's normally quite active between bridge, Irish conversation classes and yoga (she's 82) but I had to have a stern word with her and explain we are probably talking months not weeks with this and that she was more fortunate than others in her position.

    Got any numbers to back this up?

    I think some people would like the see the US and UK 'rightly screwed' so as to fully expose Trump and Boris as the gee bags they are.

    Not a healthy mindset.

    Without a doubt if the death toll is not sky high, there is going to be some very disappointed posters on here.

    I honestly dont get the irish obsession with road traffic deaths?! It is literally car crash media.

    I'd guess it's only because figures started plunging from the 400s in the late 90s to around 160-200 after drink-driving laws were taken seriously.

    Dunnes have been very good too : the exact same measures.

    Disappointed ghoulish posters you mean. Infections and deaths will never get bad enough for these types.

    Serves you right if you went to the Ilac centre in the current environment.

    Quite rioght one should only shop in M&S during a pandemic or dispense with the need for food altogether.

    Miss the point much or just always.

    How on earth is this a sensible policy?
    Just because there is no person to person contact, this is not social distancing. Dangerous for testers AND customers

    This is interesting. Losing your sense of smell may be a symptom of Covid-19.

    More than double yesterday's rate, but hopefully they've also ramped up testing.

    A friend of mine was saying that in his area in Dublin city centre, mice and rats are getting braver and desperate because less footfall means less people are throwing away food in the streets. His neighbour has caught 2 rats in is house in the last week. This has never happened to him before.

    No bad thing. The WHO keep saying 'test, test, test', so the more, the better.

    Brendan O'Neill seems to be running a series of articles in his publication downplaying the coronavirus - the Koch brothers must be worried about their share portfolios!
