    What's the situation with drive thru take away food?

    I see macdonalds are opening back up.

    Burger king has been open.

    Where does it fit in the rules its OK to go for a drive thru?

    2km is the rule for exercise.

    I take vit d. It's supposed to help in MS, 5000iu is the dose per/,day I take. ( From FB and other groups,not peer reviewed).
    Every pharmacy I've gone to is nearly sold out.
    I think vit D is good for your immune system regardless or ailments or viruses

    Enjoy your kidneys while they last.

    for all the giving out about testing according to Worldmeter we have one of the highest rates of testing in the world.

    the Hospitals did not become overwhelmed, ICU number seem stable aound 140
    Our deaths to cases identified is around 5% which stacks up against the "better health services around the world" and we are counting probable cases in tha
    While some things could have been done better i think the HSE has done a good job here.

    You can drive to pick up a meal. Whether that is 2km or 20km

    I'd wear them but for only short periods when washing my hands might not be possible and then bin them, however, I see some people taking the same ones on and off or leaving them on for hours.

    Not unless 20km is necessary to get to your nearest town. If you live somewhere and decide to drive to another town to eat the Gardai have an issue with it.

    He seems to think (as did the other guest) that just washing your hands regularly should suffice.....there's a risk that latex gloves might be even unsafe in comparison.

    Does that mean they will keep prior figures still off the list?

    That's what happens when Claire Byrne asks you to explore isolation with her.

    Check if servers are wearing masks if not you can bet you bottom dollar the preparation staff aren't, so I'd be pedal to the floor out of there. The TV shots of one of the chains showed prep area and not a mask in sight.

    Seems to be the way they are enforcing it. I was stopped driving to my OH's business (a grocery store) and told to go back to a grocery store near home. 10 mins drive between them.

    Where I can I'd prefer to wash my hands but for example I had to pop into Lidl the other day and they only have sanitizer on the way in, not on the way out, so slipping on a glove was the easiest option.

    Was up in Corks CUH a couple of days back with a medical emergency. Spent one night there after several hours in A&E. The reason I'm posting is I was blown away with the level of care, all precautions taken. The ward itself was covid free ( as much as they can tell anyway ) and I was able to remove mask once I got to ward. I feel it's important to share this as I was worried would I have to sleep with my mask on etc. Also what really shocked me was the atmosphere was superb everyone jolly and in good form (considering all going on) It was an experience 100% better than what I thought it would be. Tony Holahan said a few weeks back if you need to go to hospital don't be afraid as the HSE will look after. I didn't fully believe him. I Do Now!! I've experience of all the hospitals in Cork both private and public and this was the best experience in hospital yet from both level of care and atmosphere! So Cork CUH thank you!
    There's less than 15 COVID patients in the CUH so doesn't surprise me that you got fantastic care.

    Looking at the piece on nursing homes on prime time its a utter ****ing disgrace. How can the hse allow situations like the one highlighted and theres probably more. At night 1 nurse for all their covid patients and one for all other occupants, half what they are mandated to cover and probably more then that are needed, one of them are getting palliative care, ffs its no way near enough. The manager has highlighted to the hse that they are below their standards and they offer a part time nurse. Probably in normal circumstances the home would be censured but the response from the hse is pathetic.

    During the presser today the hse rep was asked a question that he didnt want to answer live and sajd he would follow up 1-1 wigh the journalists after. I dont trust him, he comes across to me as untrustworthy and spins more then most politicians.

    I hope there is an inquiry after this because there are obvious failings, that despite being highlighted, are still not being adressed

    I don't need to define anything for "us", the smart and mature amongst us know what it was.

    A lot of nursing homes are privately run charging up to 1200 a week.

    Why is it the governments responsibility to look after the patients?

    Because they might be old/infirm but they're still citizens (or residents)? Because it's the government responsibility to issue licences for these places (through the relevant agencies)?
