They have nearly as many deaths as us so I'd say their numbers are way higher. Another consequence of Boris and Arlene dithering.

What is the story with building sites? Still full steam ahead?
Surely they're not going to be able to use sanitizer regularly etc. Ive 2 mates working on a job at the minute and they reckon there's almost 1600 of them on site.
I'm no expert but if one or 2 of them get it I suspect it wouldn't be long spreading amongst them.

Building a hospital is a ESSENTIAL, builiding a housing estate or flats or the like is not at this moment in my eyes and whats the story with it being no more than 4 most crews on building sites are more than 4?

Well it's been said an increased gardai presence to disperse crowds.

Anyone who still packs up the car and goes off to the beach or the mountains when being advised not deserves a fine of some sort

How will they enforce it though? We live in the Dublin mountains and it was manic up here last weekend. Cars blocking the road, you couldn't get up or down it. Illegal parking, crowds of people and lots of dumping too. Any time I have called the Gardaí in the past about incidents that residents have to put up with (joyriders, scramblers out on the open road, shooting out of season etc.) I'm told, "sorry, we have no car to send up". Can only imagine in the current state of affairs they won't even bother answering their phones never mind patrolling the place.

They can’t completely enforce it, and they and we know this. But the message and action itself will do a lot of the work. Many people will abide. You will always have some that won’t. That’s life...so we will get some sort of result from this.

Not necessarily significant - a large percentage of the general UK population (that is not in ICU) is overweight or obese - percentage must be close to 72%.

Where is this 72% coming from? Any of the sources I read are stating much lower, happy to be corrected however

Don't think so.

They have 5 deaths out of 1.8million people. We have 6 deaths out of 4.8million people. Unless we have a dramatic spike in death toll today, their mortality rate is much higher.

The numbers are so small though its hard to conclude trends as definitive, better wait a few more weeks.

please god this works

the pubs will be mental when they open again but its not just the pub its jobs etc on the verge of going back to normal and possibility of a good summer with some concerts etc

it may take a year/year in a half for everything to get back to normal. stay safe everyone

Any figures for the UK out yet?
