That wont burn much calories. Need more movement. That's a good point by Walshb. That could have serious enough implications. Comfort eating may also happen due to being inside so much and struggling mentally. The implications of this are just so bad. If their are quite long term restrictions

We spent a lot on an elliptical machine for christmas. At the time I was worried it was too much and we wouldn't use it enough but glad of it now! There are plenty of workouts available on youtube though if people need guidance. Even yoga and meditation will help with people's mental health so that's something to look into also.

Leo by allowing the takeaway food sector and restaurants to operate a takeaway service has opened up a whole new front for the Covid19 virus to be transmitted by the food handlers onto the food and packaging being supplied to their customers, bull-sh*itting about how so many people get their protein from takeaway food operators , well let me tell you Taoiseach this virus loves you, have all these food handlers been tested for Codid19 wait till the clusters are traced back to your policy on takeaways will you have apology ready for the people who will have died from this inaction.

Borris wants to spread the blame. He will be held up as the worst UK PM when the body count comes in.

In that case you should close all supermarkets as someone has to touch every product to put it on a shelf.

You realise the flu mutates regularly and we have vaccines for it?

You saw the word "mutate" and the rest is just assumptions based on nothing.

This isn't the flu.

Spanish soldiers find bodies in Madrid retirement homes

Spanish soldiers deployed to help fight the coronavirus outbreak have been finding elderly patients abandoned, and sometimes dead, at care homes.

The army has been charged with helping to disinfect retirement homes in Spain, one of the countries worst hit by the pandemic.

Dozens of deaths from Covid-19 have been recorded at facilities across the country.

"We are going to be strict and inflexible when dealing with the way old people are treated in these residences," Defence Minister Margarita Robles said in an interview with television channel Telecinco.

"The army, during certain visits, found some old people completely abandoned, sometimes even dead in their beds," she added.

Rather like when someone exits a workplace.
Walk them to the front door, take their badge off them and they loose access to the building.
The only way they re-enter is on a Visitor badge.

If FG don't have the numbers to replace, then look to the opposition benches to fill the post.

So have no one in charge?

Where do you think people will get food which has not been handled by someone?

Everywhere is still allowing food deliveries and takeways, not just ireland. It is said there is little risk and no evidence that it is transmitted by food. Wipe down the boxes, remove the food onto plates immediately. Wash hands before eating. It's fine. Of all the ways you might get it, food is probably way down the list. It's a lifesaver for essential workers who dont have time to go to shopping or for those who cant prepare their own food for various reasons. And also it allows local restaurants to stay in business. It shouldn't be taken away

Presumably if you boil your own potatoes or pasta at home, any germs/ virus on them is killed.

Scientists in Iceland claim they have found 40 mutations of the coronavirus,
...
“We have the genes from more than 400 infections. The interesting thing about that sequencing is that we can track where the virus came from. Some came from Austria. There is another type from people who were infected in Italy. And there is a third type of virus found in people infected in England. Seven people had attended a football match in England. '

In total, 473 infected persons have been found in Iceland since February 28, when the first case was discovered. A single person is dead and 12 are hospitalized.

The Icelandic health authorities have tested all of the people who either showed symptoms, were ill or were in the risk group for coronavirus.

In addition, DeCode Genetics has tested 5,571 people who did not show symptoms of the disease and who were not at risk but who volunteered to be tested. The genetics company has found 48 cases of coronavirus in which the tested person showed no symptoms of any kind.

The company expects to publish the results of their coronavirus studies and share data on the gene sequences.

Is this good or bad news?

It appears as if Iceland might have a mild dose of the CV

The damage has been done but the bad news hasn't in full arrived yet so Borris would prefer if Labour were around to share some of the blame.
