    Sorry to go slightly off topic but does anyone know of any tyre centres open in Galway during the current situation? I discovered that I've a flat tyre this morning (looks like it may have been done deliberately). I have the spare on but am part of a contact tracing team so really need to be able rely on the car. I've tried googling and ringing a few places but haven't had any joy so far.

    I heard from a friend living in China that China now banned the export of masks and other medical supplies to The Netherlands after The Netherlands complained about the quality of masks last week.

    Why would they enforce greater measures when we are largely seeing a flat number of new cases....maybe they could do it for 3/4 days.

    From rte:
    Austria plans to reopen smaller shops from next week in its first step to loosen a lockdown that has slowed the spread of the coronavirus, as long as the public continue to observe the lockdown broadly, Chancellor Sebastian Kurz said.

    Mr Kurz told a news conference that since Austria had acted earlier than most countries, that gave it the ability to reopen shops sooner as well.

    If all goes well, it will reopen non-essential shops of less than 400 square metres and DIY shops on 14 April, followed by all shops and malls on 1 May, he said.

    Just to add onto this, mass gatherings are still banned until June


    other services, as well as restaurants and hotels, must stay shuttered until mid-May, with a final decision to be taken in mid-April, he added. While exams will go ahead, classes in schools will remain suspended until at least mid-May.

    Just one metric being ignored is population density, which has a direct effect on effective R0 rate.

    Which is why the Chinese decided to effectively lock people in their homes and apartments. One lesson from the Sars outbreak of 2003 they probably learned is that even one person in a hotel or apartment complex can infect numerous others through use of the elevator.

    See the example of the Sars2003 Hong Kong outbreak.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Severe_acute_respiratory_syndrome
    The disease spread in Hong Kong from Liu Jianlun, a Guangdong doctor who was treating patients at Sun Yat-Sen Memorial Hospital. He arrived in February and stayed on the ninth floor of the Metropole Hotel in Kowloon, infecting 16 of the hotel visitors. Those visitors traveled to Canada, Singapore, Taiwan, and Vietnam, spreading SARS to those locations.

    While we mightn't get to the stage of apartment blocs being patrolled here, elevators should be cleaned regularly, otherwise they are focal points for spread. Cities really are the ideal place for covid19 spread.

    Gloves and masks may be be one of the conditions of lifting a lockdown.

    I'm staying away from this side of boards. It's depressing news as it is and seems to be two sides here, we're doing great and we're not. People dying from this virus is not a country that's doing great.

    Have we any idea on the timeline for what's happening after Easter Sunday with regards restrictions?

    I have to make expensive decisions relating to events coming up and I will be in the hook for the cost of cancellation if advice isn't forthcoming soon.

    Try Cloonboo Tyre centre. He might still be operating.

    What date and what type of event?

    If we’re talking any kind of public events next week involving even a small gathering - 99% chances they won’t be happening.

    Yeah, had heard that there will be stricter rules coming too.

    Apart from withdrawing the 2km - what else are they likely to do ?

    Maybe ring your local Garda station (not with emergency number) and ask. I imagine your contact tracing work would put you in the essential services category.

    I am sure the emergency services have a way of keeping their fleets on the road.

    BTW. well done on keeping us all safe. :)

    That would not come as any great surprise.
    Good luck with enforcing that outside of towns and cities or scumbag estates.

    I'd be thinking of the end of April for loosening of the current restrictions and 6 weeks+ for anything looking normal.
