    Thankfully, as always, at some point soon the EU will tell us what action to take and we will move out of restrictions. Otherwise, under our own authorities, we would become the only stone age society in Europe.

    Looks like even the super efficient germans can get caught out. Imagine the outrage if the HSE were caught out here.

    I would imagine lockdown will be eased considerably early may
    Shops and restaurants will start to open but all with social distancing measures in place as for pubs they could be the last to open as its near impossible to adhere to social distancing there

    I don't think restaurants or pubs etc will be open till July at the earliest.

    So you're ok with sacrificing your elderly friends and relatives for the economy? I take from your post that you most likely don't know too many in the 'at risk' demographic.

    As someone older than many on here, I have dozens of relatives and quite a few friends who would most likely be in a very bad way if they caught this virus. I'd like to keep them around for another decade or so of good times and company, wisdom and advice.

    WTF? Elderly friends and relatives should be isolating. They are in one of the most at risk groups.

    Why would they do anything different?

    I suppose, anytime I look out the window they seem be the ones breaking the rules.

    My limited experience of the Scandinavian countries is that they almost hibernate socially for November - March but by April everyone is out and it's full on socialising, peaking at mid summer.
    Their winter habits will have stood them in good stead until now with Covid 19.
    But I think that their normal long days behaviour will lead to either further restrictions or cases.

    Is this the HSE who gave a pile of people incorrect results recently?

    ‘Nothing would have prevented’ virus spread, says Andrea Ammon, director of European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control

    Interview: https://www.politico.eu/article/ecdc-chief-nothing-would-have-prevented-coronavirus-spread/

    Its been widely accepted that nothing could prevent the disease spread. The question has always been how slow or how fast do you want it to spread. You can slow it down hugely by closing down most things for a period of time including civilian traffic in and out of the country. Doing this would mean you could lift restrictions every so often until the numbers get high again. Or you could go to the other extreme and just let it run its course and hope for the best.

    Some posters are off their rocker if they think we are going back to any kind of normality in a few weeks time. It's an insult to the tremendous work our front line health staff are doing to suggest we will be sending them thousands of more cases because some idiot wants to have a pint or eat in a restaurant.

    Why is that good?

    If he has mild symptoms and no underlying conditions far better to have it. (As long as he hasn't spread it also.)

    Yes, it's the HSE who received the incorrect results from a lab in Germany.

    This lockdown will lead to more death outside covid-19 the longer it goes on.

    On May 5 there will be a relaxation of restrictions unless we see a dramatic and unexpected rise in negative stats.

    They probably ease some restrictions maybe allow hardware, clothes, shoes or electrical shops to open.

    Anything recreational or social like Cinemas, pubs, clubs or anything that people have close interaction that is not essential is still going be off the table.

    On past performance i'd continue to self isolate for a week even if i got a negative result. You never know when you'll get a second phone call saying they got it wrong.

    It has now been disclosed that death total up to April 3rd in the UK was 15% higher than previously reported. I'm of the opinion that the exclusion of nursing home & "community" mortality is a deliberate attempt to keep the daily tallies below 1,000. A psychological barrier the powers that be are not prepared to hurdle over. Perhaps I'm a little too cynical.

    The number of nurshing home and community deaths are supposed to be released today for the UK

    You know there's no cap on how many "can" die per day at this point? The limit is the remaining population.

    I think a lot of people are in for a shock, considering the spread of infection is much greater than the scope of the testing is revealing. I was surprised to wake this morning to find countries talking about lifting restrictions and before they even see any improvement with their numbers in a lot of cases.

    I would not like to be part of that insane capitalist experiment. But hey, at least people will be able to... paint their houses?
