So the government laid out there plans Friday and the plan for pubs is being revised on Tuesday taking into account it was bank holiday that is an extremely quick change , even for this government,

Things will move even faster when a new government is formed. The present one is hiding behind nphet in fear of being blamed for any slip ups.
Europe is opening it would be beyond ridiculous to have us still opening things up in August.

Ireland is opening up in steps so each step can be monitored to reduce a second wave.

Ways in which Ireland isn't like Australia:

Queensland's health chief has stressed that anyone showing signs of respiratory illness gets swabbed for COVID-19 following a dip in the number of people presenting for tests

Just 1069 people were tested for the virus on Monday, a drop on previous weeks.

Queensland's Chief Health Officer Jeanette Young says no matter how mild a symptom may be, a person should be checked.

"For the vast majority of people this is a mild disease, so that's why you need to be attuned to any symptoms and come and get tested," Dr Young said on Tuesday.

Another five cases were confirmed overnight including three Queenslanders who initially tested positive in other states.

That's the way, uh huh, I like it, Uh huh, uh huh...

"Returns to pre-lockdown mobility of 20% or 40% from current levels may lead to a resurgence of the epidemic with more deaths than the current wave in the absence of additional interventions" A second wave with 23,000 extra deaths in just 8 weeks could be possible in a scenario with a 40% increase in mobility, according to an Imperial College London study still awaiting peer review''

More deaths, but still less deaths, pro rata/per million, than Italy, Spain and Belgium.

Inability to test the numbers they would like to, drawn out negotiations with private consultants, fear of reprisals from the HSE calamity with the nursing homes and a lack of stable government are all drawing out our wind down from lockdown. As a result of drawing out the wind down, I think people are less likely to heed another form of lockdown as they will feel like they have had their freedoms suppressed for longer than was necessary.

Lowest number of new cases since March

Gael23 · 05-05-2020 05:37PM

23 deaths allowing for late reporting of deaths that occur over the weekend is pretty good

ACitizenErased · 05-05-2020 05:38PM

90 in ICU. Another reduction.

branie2 · 05-05-2020 05:39PM

RIP, the 23 people who died

Vintners are complaining about being treated "second class citizens". Hilarious.
Although many people's lives seem to revolve around the pub, many of us rarely set foot in them and wouldn't care if they all vanished.
Pubs are unnecessary to all but publicans and their staff. They should be last in line to get back to normal.
Also, how much did pubs and nightclubs contribute to packed A&E departments on weekend nights? Really not a good idea.

Jesus you sound like great craic!

Did we ever get a briefing of how we are treating patients, using the new drug remdesivir, which anti virals etc?

The only reason it should be uttered is to mock those who make claims about a "new normal".

What's wrong with questions about weddings? That it doesn't apply to you?

One thing I haven't heard being used yet is plasma with antibodys from recovered patients.
