    They deserve it. Us in the West have shown ourselves up to be a bunch of eejits who would prefer a bag of fish and chips vs staying safe from a deadly virus.

    Yep, the cracks are beginning to show fast here in the west.

    The old way is on the way out.

    The Chinese will soon rule the world and without needing to fire a shot in anger.

    Nope. They’ll be re infected soon enough.
    If you relax the “lockdown” without a vaccine or herd immunity reached you WILL get a spike in new infections.
    Before you ask- no I don’t have the answer.

    40k backlog waiting to be tested will at least triple our cases i would guess

    Yeah maybe. My concern is that in the South East there still is only a handful of cases and becuse there are not many big cities its unlikely that we'll see a massive increase in cases I just wonder how long people will accept the restricions if we don't see any negative effects.

    Hopefully there's something in this. It's sounds like an absolute pack of crap though.

    I can pretty much guarantee it's a pack of crap.

    yeah but 100 people inside and 30 waiting outside is still 130 people in a non essential shop....

    I think that finding some way to keep diy and garden centres open would be helpful.

    Provided strict guidelines were followed it could be useful as a means to keep people occupied during a long lay off.

    One person per household to do the weekly grocery shop, must carry photo ID.

    A-D. Monday’s
    E-H. Tuesday’s
    I-K. Wednesdays

    Etc

    Otherwise stay home.

    I somehow doubt they are letting 100 customers at a time into each of their stores : the queues outside are presumably because they are limiting the numbers of people who can be on the premises at one time.

    It's burger king I'm worried about, not McDonalds. The vegetarian wraps and burgers in McDonalds are truly shocking, whereas both the bean burger (still on the menu folks) and the rebel whopper in Burger King are decent.

    I'd say Burger King and SuperMacs will give it another week or two anyway, hopefully. Cook 90% of my own food from scratch, but once in a blue moon I enjoy a SuperMacs pizza (Papa John's).

    I was in Cork city yesterday afternoon and there was a barbers jointed wtf is wrong with people.

    Reminds me I need a haircut myself but no way am I going to go to some shop with some guy sneezing in there. Looks like a DIY job with a scissors so

    My friend works as a barber but hasn’t worked in three weeks. Had customers who are doctors ringing him today asking for a haircut. My friend said no and told them is not save. Imagine a barber having to tell doctors it’s not good idea, that’s what we are dealing with.

    I agree. Went down to the ships today and no ones seems to care. People just going about their usual days. Its ridiculous!!!

    But you were there too so you are as bad as them and part of the problem you’re criticising!!

    It’s got to the stage where the government are going to stop asking and start ordering.

    Stay the fùck at home!!

    Dublin has 57% of cases.

    If you live in Dublin and are not practising social distancing property cop on. We're going to be screwed in a week.

    The amount of people I saw coming and going from the cafe beside my home today was ridiculous. People having picnics, large groups of kids playing, eating out in the little restaurants, young people still congregating.

    Not a bother in them.

    How's everyone else's symptoms progressing?

    Was feeling gradually better last few days. Less coughing today but chest feels tighter and breathing a bit heavier since afternoon. Bit short of breath. Hope not a setback. Feel like I need to get phlegm moving but stuck there.

    Think need good night sleep. Noisy 2 year old in the house that wakes at 6am isn't conducive to sleeping enough.

    Its been confirmed more than once you can get reinfected.

    Fully Agree!!


    Stuff Sky News allegedly hadn't shown live (BUT apparently have). Eye opening and very sad nonetheless.

    Case number are not actual numbers. It's only an indication and not very useful for comparison.

    How the hell did China get from 8000 cases a day to less than 50 in two weeks?

    Because they lied

    Good sleep is the best medicine!

    How long are people wearing coats for? I mean once you go out and even to the shop, come home again, can't you come home with the virus on the coat? I hang my coat up in work in the changing room but I don't know who coughed or sneezed around it. So shouldn't I be coming home and washing clothes every day?

    Rand Paul, a critic of emergency coronavirus spending, has become the first US senator to test positive for Covid-19, the Republican lawmaker's office said Sunday.

    As US senators work on a multi-trillion-dollar rescue package to help the US economy hit hard by the pandemic, Paul has at least twice voted against such emergency funding.

    Why don't they have a ticketing system at the supermarket when you park. Stay in your car till your number is called or displayed then away you go. No more queues or social distancing issues

    Harvey Weinstein has reportedly been placed into isolation in a New York prison after testing positive for COVID-19.

    I might get infracted for saying this but if this is true it couldn`t have happened to a more deserving person.

    Don't think you will have any problems with that, he is a total scumbag.

    And he'll continue to argue against it because he can afford excellent care.
