    And by the way those people who say we aren't importing cases because no-one is flying have been found to be talking nonsense.

    45 cases of infection from foreign travel in just todays numbers tell us there's a problem there.

    And a couple of staff manning a table handing out flyers is not going to stop this.

    Cases rising again in Spain ,
    https://english.elpais.com/society/2020-03-31/after-small-reprieve-daily-coronavirus-deaths-spike-in-spain-again.html

    There will be carnage here in the summer when people will be expected to sit at home while it's 36C outside ..... total carnage.

    Yes, the weather is on the verge of taking up... will people get a bit complacent? A bit of cabin fever / itchy feet ? Knowing the Irish psyche, social psyche yes this will be an issue... got to be vigilant/rude/demanding of our loved ones to do the right thing, maintaining social distancing...

    Know what your loved ones are doing, my mother has already told my father his daily walk will be to the roundabout and back, a route where he knows nobody...his regular route through the estate will see him hanging over the garden walls yapping to neighbors with... “ sure I was only there 2 minutes what harm ? “

    Yes, but not all in one go. They would probably open cafes, restaurants and retail stores first and pubs some time after that.

    Schools and colleges will probably reopen in September.

    Doubt it. A reverse of what we have seen is more likely, construction and other jobs go back, wait 2 to 3 weeks then if all is going well, bring back cafes, restaurants, then pubs, then sports events and concerts. I cant see it working smoothly. Infections are bound to rise again

    The CMO was saying this evening that if the current measures take effect, we could see a relaxation of the current measures. Would this be the reopening of schools, colleges ect or what are we thinking?

    I very much doubt there will be any relaxation of the measures anytime soon and even if there is schools and colleges will not reopen before August/September at the earliest.

    Definitely not a master manipulator as he is so transparent in his stupidity. Example being, how he drags out answers to buy time as he doesn't know what he is talking about, a very inarticulate individual and buffer.

    It a damning indictment on America as a whole that he is doing well in approval ratings at this time.

    His deference to the severity of the pandemic has caused deaths, no doubt about it.

    On a side note this thing is keeping me awake at night. So worried about how the disruption will play out.

    Working from home but focus is completely gone this week.

    A major heatwave and more will die from that than the virus if people are stuck inside

    45 cases of infection from foreign travel just today tell us there's a problem there.

    Nothing will change. The present govt had to hauled kicking and screaming to cancel the Parade.

    Look at china:

    On arrival everyone was tested at the airport on arrival and then sent to a isolation hotel for 14 days even if their test was negative.

    They realized that even this wasn't enough and then banned all non chinese from entering the country

    I wouldn't even give him that much credit. A harlequin showman who reads lines ( badly) from a teleprompter and when is required to give an actual answer blows smoke up the yanks asses with talk of ' beautiful' this and that. Greatest country in the world blah blah. A game show host.!

    Why are you banging on about flights?

    What nationalties were these 4 cases? I bet they were Irish.

    Also, where had they traveled from? I bet from loads of different places.

    What about the remaining 280 cases from today? All community based and that's the big problem now.

    Asked whether he lulled people into a false sense of security Trump responds, “It’s going to go away, hopefully at the end of the month.”

    God he is such a dumb ass.

    Yeah - we really need to stop Irish people coming back to Ireland so travel related is zero

    I’m sure they were Irish. I don’t care what nationality anyone is, there should be mandatory quarantine for anyone entering the country. Australia do it to their own citizens, why can’t we?

    The US will end up having a daily rate of infection of 100k.

    Irish people.....the question of those being required to self isolate is a different matter (I assume you're not asking for Irish people not be allowed enter their own country?)

    They more than likely already do. Testing is non existent in most of it.

    Don't assume anything around here, that's exactly what they're suggesting

    Because we Are IRISH we are not Australians.

    It’s not mandatory. People are advised to self isolate for 14 days. Many people are coming home to families. How effective do you really think that type of “quarantine” works? Australia put their citizens into hotels for 14 days
