    Just wondering where that's all because a friend lives down in Kerry and while the park down there is open for walks etc, all information points and offices are closed according to him and he's under the impression that it's the same for all of the national parks.




    Probably accurate. My boss doesn't want us being on the payroll without doing something so it's site security nonsense for me.

    Id say trump will pull WHO funding

    He just accused the WHO of underestimating the impact of Covid-19!!

    As if he would ever be guilty of such an accusation.. LOL.

    The guy is mentally unhinged but that doesn't come as a surprise to any sane person alive.

    You have not seen Biden lately. He's mind, mental health is definitely declining.

    We have plenty of hotels. And we've been assured by FG supporters on here its only a handful of people coming in. Even a small travel lodge would do.

    What some fail to understand (the HSE and Simon Harris among them) is once you let someone through an airport and outside, they are in the community. That means a lift from the airport with a relative or friend. It means sharing a house or apartment with someone.
    Its very difficult for most people to completely self isolate and many can't or won't.

    It is though. Any regular user of flight radar can see that. In fact, anyone csn look up the comings and goings at our airports. I plane-spot from my living room window as I’m on the path where the planes loop around after initial take-off. There’s basically no air traffic going by. I’m not sure why you’d think only FG supporters are saying this.

    NZ has a strict lockdown but are only quarantining people who are symptomatic (presumably those with a temperature).

    Quarantining every single passenger (mostly Irish people) who comes through the airport would be quite drastic and even draconian, given that the entire country is already under lockdown.

    Christ its painful trying to listen to Trump, sentences making no sense.

    Why do ye listen to him? I don't know what channel he is on (I only have 6/7 terrestrial channels) but I would not be listening to his nonsense at all.
    Or Sky News for that matter.

    When do you think any of these parks will re open, and places like Dublin zoo. Maybe by summer?

    That's hardly controversial, the WHO have not been an honest actor for most of this.

    The tests detect antibodies. If someone has low levels of antibodies, the tests may not work.

    No the current method of detecting Covid-19 uses real-time polymerase chain-based reaction (PCR) which replicates much more than a million-fold any Covid-19 DNA copy of the viral RNA

    • Whole grains and milk products are good sources of zinc. Many ready-to-eat breakfast cereals are fortified with zinc.
    • Oysters, red meat, and poultry are excellent sources of zinc. Baked beans, chickpeas, and nuts (such as cashews and almonds) also contain zinc.
    Sources of Zinc.

    Trump seems very very eager to get the country back to normal as soon as possible, IMO I reckon there could be a 2nd, and maybe worse peak.

    I think you are so far off the mark there. We are far from being overwhelmed in ICU. We are probably in or around our peak now. I don't think our numbers will come down that quickly but I don't expect them to grow either. In another week we should be looking pretty good.

    I will remind you of this post in a week and we will see then who is far off the mark.

    That’s true, as a relation of mine said ‘ they dunno their a@se from their elbow’ he’d been trying to follow their guidance but things kept changing masks, travel, no pandemic definition, then pandemic...

    IMO he will not do that. He will leaving it up to individual state governors and medical chiefs.
