Given that she and her mother are isolating themselves and that any person with whom they would need to have close contact (doctors, nurses, paramedics) would wear a mask in the event of close contact being necessary and would also take cleanliness especially seriously, how exactly would the issue of whether or not other people are adhering to the rules affect her?

Presumably she wants to be able to leave the house sometime within the next couple of years.

This is a lot of envy on display. Most of us have worked hard for a holiday home and are entitled to enjoy it.

They can enjoy it in the weeks and years to come as it'll still be there. The current restrictions are about getting the disease under control and it's a very short-term sacrifice on that score for all of us.

do we even do post mortem tests on people who die from ARD

from what I've read nursing home testing is not a priority yet the number of deaths much higher from these clusters

That makes us better?

Liveline discussing this now.

I expect a good, well-reasoned discussion will happen because Bridie from Ballybrack is a strong moderator.

How is that in any way comparable to being outside occasionally having since pass by you?

Was transmission through airborne particles even confirmed as the likely way of transmission in that case or was it just supposition?

Singers breath deeply and exhale. Runners probably more so. Weather is fine today, no wind.
Why are people required to stay 2 meters apart if they are not sneezing or coughing at you?
The study of the choir cluster concluded airborne transmission. It's a risk I'm unwilling to take.
I've taken up skipping

Debenhams haven't exactly been the model of a successful business recently, to be fair...

Clearly you do not have that entitlement right now.
You're mixing up your wants with your entitlements.

If it always remains a threat and a reliable vaccine doesn't materialise, how possible is it for a home test to be developed with almost instant results?

Companies will be churning out home tests to beat the band. They promise instant accurate results. They're sales people.

They will never be as accurate or reliable as tests that are carried out in a diagnostic laboratory.

Just for reference here's a link to the amended act itself and a key section.

Of course not, unfortunate for the workers, but I have my doubts that they had a secure future at Debenhams, coronavirus or not.

Mod:

@facehugger99 - we get it. You should be able to wander the countryside. You won't be wearing a mask. You should be able to have a pint and shop where you want, when you want. You won't be respecting lockdown conditions, and you won't make allowances for others that do. Much of that is your personal choice.

However, your latest posts don't add to the conversation, but rather, are injected contradictory soundbites trying to get a response. From here on in, you are welcome to add to the running conversation. But anymore soundbites like the past ones, and I'm going to assume you're trolling and work from there.

I'd say that lads idea of a holiday home is moving upstairs to a back bedroom for a change of scenery from the basement for a week or two.

Goes to show how hard it is to contain, Singapore had it's highest daily total today of almost 300 new cases. Previous highest daily total was only around 50 cases

I personally don't have one, one house is enough for me to maintain. I agree though between people resenting people, walking, running, visiting their holiday homes there really is a huge amount of begrudgery going around, sad to see. People need to mind their own business, unless of course someone is holding a rave in the house next door. Report that obviously.

But they may be sufficiently accurate for the intended purpose. Pregnancy tests come to mind as well as blood sugar tests for diabetics.

You're missing the point. It's not about envy.

It's about being asked to stay in your god damn house for a while.

Are you one of those who has drove to another part of the country this weekend?

Croatia is the country we and every other country in Europe should have copied. 19 deaths, which averages out at 1 every 2 days since their first confirmed case.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2020_coronavirus_pandemic_in_Croatia

They have land borders with 5 other countries which made it far more complicated than us with a single border. But they managed to slow it down remarkably.

Our comparison should always be with the countries of western europe. Apples and Oranges. Had this started in summer Croatia would have been much worse

What are you on about? Latent xenophobia? would you ever go take a walk for yourself and chillax. My partner is half eastern European.

I'm not entirely sure I would read much into the Singapore situation. Yes, they relaxed restrictions and the virus rebounded immediately but there is no guarantee this would be replicated elsewhere.

For starters, Singapore is just about the most densely populated country in the world. 5m people packed into a tiny living space.
