The test has been developed by Swiss giant Roche Diagnostics and has already been approved for use in the US. The company, which has a base in Dublin, said its Elecsys test has a specificity greater than 99.8% and sensitivity of 100% - meaning it gives no false negative results and only one in 500 false positives. The antibody test indicates whether a patient has been exposed to the virus and recovered." Boy i'd love this. I got to fly to Spain end of August, would be pretty handy to get such test, hopefully I've had covid and off I go enjoying beer in south of Spain without any fears of being stopped at checkpoints for mask inspection whatnot.

(Various things have been making it hard for me to keep up, including with this discussion). I have things like the gov.ie page bookmarked, but sometimes find it hard to see the wood from the trees there, especially with the wording sometimes being ambiguous or seemingly contradictory. . We're a couple who've been confined to our home as over-70s, and I've got the impression that we may now go for a walk (with the usual distancing etc, of course). Is that correct? And if so, does that include those of us who have a garden? I'm not interested in flouting the rules, or the spirit of them, or finding loopholes in the wording, but if it's a grey area at all I'd welcome any opinions. It's not that I can't do exercises in the garden, or have any problem using technology to keep in touch, or have ever suffered from boredom - it's just that I find walking very good for thinking straight, and changes of view very mentally nourishing. Even going a few minutes up the nearest lane to get a higher viewpoint would be a boost! Also I haven't been paying much attention to guidelines while outside the home, as they've been for other people. I'm only aware of the distancing ones, and permitted distance from home. If I can indeed now go for a walk, is there a limit on how often, or the time I can spend on it?

The aviation industry is worth €4.1bn to the Irish economy along with the leasing sector pulling in €550m alone making it a significant contributor. Trust me, for your sake and mine, I better make that flight. anyways whats the fuss about, this isnt north korea, if airplane flies then you can fly anywhere in the world. Just "cocoon" urself for 2 weeks on ur return. At this stage most economies are very desperate for any tourism, including ours. I will 100% make that flight friend, and you should check out some cheap flight seats too, before they are sold out.

The number of Covid-19 infections coming from the community is “persistant” and “not falling as much as we would like”, the Department of Health’s chief medical officer Dr Tony Holohan has said.
