    No agenda there like tho...

    So don’t shoot the messenger. Guy may well be a dick. What about the 17 intelligence agencies. Hope but it’s obvious to dogs in the street. No before you say anything they are probably biased on account of the fact that certain Chinese people like to est them.


    Putting everything aside. It’s obvious. Why did deadly bat virus decide to show up in city with deadly bat virus lab. Coincidence I’m sure.

    I think it's very possible.
    How many other labs are there in China similar to the one in Wuhan?

    just the 1, it contains 1300 different viruses or 1299 now

    And nothing to add about the 1,900 number? That's the 3rd lowest number of new cases reported since March 11th.

    The bad news is the important bit. Much like confirmed cases but no recovered figures.

    He discussed this in his LLS interview. He said four people can meet up outdoors......sitting at a table at a barbecue would be acceptable for example (or standing for that matter).

    Seems like everyone has skipped straight to this part as of today. Big groups in front gardens and parks everywhere you look.

    Didn't something similar happen in Germany earlier this week.

    People keep saying this but I'm looking at their graphs and see the same consistently downward trend that's been happening since the peak of late March/early April. Some spikes in mortality at the start of each week following a weekend drop, likely due to under reporting (as in many countries) but trending downwards overall.

    It was announced too soon, people will act as if the new restrictions started the moment Leo opened his mouth.

    I thought we’d stopped posting unsubstantiated rumours. Next thing we’ll start seeing screen caps of WhatsApp messages posted as scoops on the latest news, and stories of wives working in Lidl who know about stuff the government hasn’t announced yet.

    Why are they still using the confirmed figure when the last I read was in excess of 10,000 have recovered. I don't understand the reason to continue to count recovered cases.

    Agreed. Remove recovered cases and the number is more accurate and less dramatic.

    lol, we're not, the traffic is busy af today. I can't understand how they'll ever manage this thing, are we just going to have to have deaths and new cases every day until there's a vaccine? If that's the case I don't see how they can have pubs or events open again without the whole thing getting out of control as soon as they're opened back up. It's a nightmare.

    Expected result of usual two faced mixed messaging, what the hell else did they expected to happen with Leo's 2m down to 1m announcement based on nothing, excepting possible hospitality industry pressure.

    Garden centre open up near me in Co. Roscommon today. I thought they were shut down until further notice.

    Yes. This is all about buying time until a vaccine or effective treatment is in play. If we don't have a vaccine (i think we will, though) by Autumn, then we may have a second wave come Winter. However, that said the Government is probably banking on testing and contract tracing being at the required level to ensure any outbreak will be brought under control quickly . Let's hope so, because if not the resistance to a second lockdown will be a lot greater than it was to this one.

    It probably sells chicken feed , the one in Bandon was open today and they are exempted because they sell chicken feed to the farmers.

    Went for a walk to the seafront in my area this afternoon, less cars on the road than during the week. All the parking closed on the seafront so only those who can walk down were around. Busy enough but the vast majority of people sticking to families and keeping distancing. Didn't see much of a change here from last bank holiday.

    No let up by the looks of things. Tie down everything and it appears to become somewhat stable if any, but once the restrictions are loosened up the numbers climb again.
    Didn't something similar happen in Germany earlier this week.

    It's also reported by La Republlica and The Guardian live blog in case the football link is a bit unusual.

    I remember when I was small going to mass in a field. I think it happened once a year or something. I definitely remember going to mass in a field.

    Heres a business opportunity for a field pub.
