    Good news regarding the cases. Hopefully the trend continues downwards this week.

    RIP to all, the deaths will remain high unfortunately

    Where else would I keep my books but on a bookshelf?

    I much prefer a physical book, plus many of the books I read aren't on kindle. Thankfully Amazon are still selling decent second hand books that are on my wishlist but I really need the library to open soon.

    Physical books are still way outselling kindle.

    Prefer physical books too, downloaded borrowbox for my library account, however any book I want I have to wait weeks for it to be available. Going to try some audiobooks so I can listen while I work.

    It wouldn’t kill them to give their workers a break is what I’m saying.
    But I’m more pissed off that they’re doing no control whatsoever going into the shop nor providing sanitizer as you walk in.
    Not only that but it’s basically a free for all going in.
    Whereas Dunnes etc are restricting to 1 person.

    That's obviously on a store by store basis; ballinteer has someone limiting the numbers in according to those out, and sanitizer\paper towels to wipe trolley and basket handles down as well as more sanitizer at the entrance to the building too.

    The only thing Trump gives a **** about is reopening the economy so he can bump his chances of being reelected.

    To help with the casualties, there's an election coming.

    Avoiding a global depression is a key consideration as well.

    I'm for the lockdown but the 2 must be balanced.

    Looking at the various graphs for countries there seems to be a 10 day lag (approx) between peak cases and peak deaths.

    So glad to see Italy on the downslope at last.

    Hilarious.

    I'm the opposite. My bookshelf is a small 2 shelf unit which holds about 12 books in total. I'd have to sit on the floor to get it in the background!
    I choose a corner with no books. It has a tall floor lamp, some nice miniature paintings but I think I need to get a plant into the shot.

    BTW for those "stuck" with the bookshelf, Zoom offers virtual backgrounds. Endless fun was had with them on a weekend family call!

    If there isn't a vaccine by the Summer, I don't see how it can get back on track.............and by track I mean back to 2019 level normal. Some people might get back to work but I can't see anything that involves large gatherings being allowed until there is a vaccine.

    There wont be a vaccine for a good while, one of the WHO doctors on RTE radio earlier said as much. Also added that we'll have to go back to a normal and social life with more awareness and caution than before, a cough, a sniffle or any other sign of illness you'll have to isolate. We'll eventually have to live life with the virus for want of a better phrase.

    Surely these figures have to drop this week. They can't be increasing indefinitely.
