Dbu, where did I mention that? I'm stating that OL are far from essential and should be shut for the duration of the lock-down.

Well, if supermarkets are allowed to sell booze, should not the off licences?

Booze is either essential or it isn't.

Now, in reality, driving somewhere remote and walking is not going to hurt or infect anyone, but you shouldn't be doing it.

If every hoor did that we would be back to packed beauty spots like Glendalough all over again.

You would prefer if alcohol was banned as well?

Yes, you're only supposed to walk 2km radius from home. Driving somewhere and then walking a 2km radius is not allowed.

Hi Chris. Yes, I thought as much.

Regarding the 2km walk zone limit from peoples homes. I presume that if someone drove to a park/country walk area that was over 2km from home -- that'd this walk would be disallowed?

That Varadkar is an awful langer. He was on yesterday praising China for having done such a great job in defeating the virus. I read today that the Chinese people believe that there could be at least 40,000 deaths there in Wuhan, even though the official figure is 3,000 odd.

So when the Taoiseach was having his phone call with the Chinese premier, should he have chastised him for his handling of the virus before or after he asked for his assistance in obtaining adequate supplies of medicines, PPE, etc.?

Also, when you say that the “Chinese people believe”, I’m really curious to know which publication took the time to poll 1.4B people. Do please share your source!

Well - that's not quite it and that's not all he said. I've linked the full article https://www.irishexaminer.com/breakingnews/ireland/taoiseach-thanks-chinese-premier-for-assistance-regarding-supply-of-essential-medical-equipment-991207.html

From what I read, he was also thanking the Chinese for the assistance they sent, and offering Irish assistance in return with regard to research and so on in return.

NOBODY knows what the official figures are in China and elsewhere. You can take those with a pinch of salt. The main thing is that it's here, and the Government are taking all necessary steps to slow the spread and fight the virus by any means.

It ran out of kits, thats why they've changed the criteria to two symptoms for testing. Will reopen as soon as the kits get distributed that are coming into Dublin

Is there anywhere in Ireland that can produce manufacture test kits?

Quarterly fees, most banks have them.

I think thats the main point, a lot of people are overdrawn as a result of the work situation.

They are still taking out bank charges as usual and people who've gone overdrawn because of lack of wages etc have had charges levied which the bank took as soon as the €350 covid payment hit their accounts

If I knew there was a cluster in my area I would restrict my movement outside even more, at present just out for shopping and medicine when needed

I think it would be good to know, yes assume everyone has it and anyone who has it confirmed is isolating quarantining but some might not be staying in

I think the pub cluster is in Tralee

Yes. Some might not be staying in, whether they know they have a virus or not. So....

Treat everyone as if they have it and maintain social distancing. My wife and I walked the dogs this evening and people are kindly going around cars, or we are, when we meet them on the footpath. They treat me like I’m sick, and that they themselves are sick, and it works! We all stay 2m apart.

At present you’re just out for shopping and medicine? Excellent, you are doing everything you can to keep you and others safe. Short of starving or a bigger shop, that’s it. I’m shopping once a week. No point in a bigger shop as I’d spend twice as long in there.

Stay safe and look yourself. Skip the news and don’t bother second guessing if your neighbour has a cluster in their gaff. Eat well, exercise once a day and you’ll ensure that if you get it you’re in good shape to shake it off.

i actually asked the girl behind the counter "are ye taking them out of a box and repackaging them into these plastic bags?".. (they are just in a small plastic bag - like the ones you get in the airport).. and she said "yeah"..

I said "gee ye must be making a killing on them eh?!".. and she kinda laughed and said.. "yeah I guess"..

I found an article on the echo - some TDs wer giving out about companies ripping off the public eg. extortionate prices for hand sanitiser etc..

I emailed one of them about..

To repeat myself.
YOU DON’T KNOW WHAT THEY PAID FOR THE MASKS.
You are publicly accusing a business of cynical, sharp practice with NO evidence.

The retailer is just one of many elements in the supply chain.

That article also has no evidence.

Also, if the masks were so unsuitable as to be worse than useless, why did you buy them?

I don't have the time or inclination to argue with you

Cluster locations don’t matter now with the restrictions. Treat everyone including yourself as if you have it.

If you’re told to self isolate then do so, and if you’re not a critical worker stay home.

Overall this will keep you and your household as safe as you can be.
