    I agree, this pandemic is new for everyone and very hard to know how to deal with good or bad

    Oh dear. One has never heard of the "circuit", the ability to do repetitive loops within a 2km radius.

    Your "spin" is rather transparent.

    My apologies as I didn't contemplate repetitive cycling in same 2km area, I thought all in one 5km

    Had a fúcker cycling towards me on a narrow footpath this afternoon expecting me to step off on to the road, WTF! Gave me a filthy look as he moved onto the road less than 2m in front of me. Lucky for him that I was in such a calm mood. Normally I'd have blown a gasket.

    Lucky for him? What does that mean in fairness. What would you have done if he wasnt lucky 😂

    Why would the head chef of a pub get it,How would Leo know he was a chef in a pub?

    I love a good graph.

    Just to reiterate we are still in a situation where only 0.03% of the world have been infected with this.


    To me a few things stick out from that.

    1. Lockdowns are working

    2. Perhaps this disease isn't as contagious as we think.

    3. Maybe testing is really low. If so we have to ask ourselves the question as to why. Perhaps this isn't as critical as we are being led to believe.

    The disease is highly infectious, numerous evidence on that but being aware and acting makes a massive difference. Lockdowns are working.


    Testing is now significant in many countries, including here. Testing is limited due to reagent shortage globally.

    How is it Leo's fault that the virus won't be gone until it's gone?

    Is it his fault that people are scruff bags and have no sense of hygiene?

    Varadkar, the HSE, WHO are responsible for lots of deaths, as are many other so called leaders, as they failed to close the borders of the countries on time. They let it come in first before deciding to do anything. We expect poor decisions from politicians anyway but this time their failures have been literally fatal.

    I'd imagine the civil service do the letters not Leo himself. Letter sent to the manager who sent it to forwarded it to uncle

    That can’t be true.

    I know all head chefs and not one of them has a nephew.

    Although, you could be his niece, I suppose.

    People even saying they feel peaceful. I am sure it is hard on some but maybe studies should be equally published on those who are thinking fcuk me I was running around like a blue arsed fly before all this and I feel more rested now.

    Completly, 100%. I’ve spoken with friends and a family member about it and everyone is just saying how great they feel, energy levels top notch, relaxed, rested, enjoying going for walks, focusing on overall heath, each other and doing the kinds of things we often don’t have the energy for normally as we have been conditioned to give so much more of ourselves both physically and emotionally to corporations that are over and above the agreement with them...

    The break from the rat race must be great for children getting to spend so much time with their parents.

    As someone who cycles to work, it's nice that the mantle of most hated way of getting around has been passed on to joggers for a while, I'm trying to enjoy it while it lasts
