And you might say ah well all 5 werent doing that well before lockdown. etc etc. Businesses need help now more than ever before. Leo really has got to backtrack on his turtle plan. And if he does, I personally will respect him for it.

McDonald's wont re open at least till mid july and if same measures kept in place prob will be way longer, some might say its good to see em go, but reality is anyone from working in place to deliveries and factories down to farmers will have massive know down effect, so yes today its few next week it will be dozen adding up each day.

Barcelona airport next. And i am flying to 1 of these. And yes, Roche has capacity to produce 100 million tests per month. (Europe's population is under 400 million, so unless Roche sells to US first which they could or might not, I should get 1 given end of August is 4 months away)

If you are lucky enough not to get sick from it (there is no guarantees btw) - just remember if you test positive whilst abroad - youl likley end up in quarantine. You certainly wont be sitting on a beach or getting your end away or whatever you like to get up to whilst on holiday. To be fair it's a fairly good way of finding out what real lockdown feels like

If you have a healthy immune system you will be fine. Be concerned for the seriously ill who you should be distancing from in any case. Its very likely many Irish people already had covid 19 and didn't even know it.

Professor Ferguson leads the team at Imperial College London that handed a bombshell piece of research to the government that said failing to take drastic action would cause 250,000 deaths and overwhelm the NHS. It was a hammer blow to the government's initial hopes of defeating the virus by building "herd immunity" in the community. But despite his support for the nationwide lockdown, Prof Ferguson failed to follow social distancing rules himself. Just last week he warned lifting the lockdown too early could risk an additional 100,000 deaths. On at least two occasions, Ms Staats travelled across London to see the government scientist. Her first visit, on March 30, coincided with a public warning by Prof Ferguson the lockdown measures would need to stay in place until June. She made a second trip on April 8 despite telling friends she suspected her husband - an academic in his thirties - had coronavirus symptoms. Prof Ferguson accepted he had made an "error of judgement and took the wrong course of action"

Ireland has some but they are used in hospitals for running hospital work like Troponin, bHCG eg. but a lot of hospitals and labs have a mixture of other brands like Beckman and Abbott etc. they have their own tests that maybe not so reliable. Unless they have already hedged their bets on Roche bringing out this test and ordered analysers a few months ago just for serology there no way they have the capacity to run antibody tests for greater population so they can swan of on a pissup to some virus infected shit hole I think you need to forget about Spain and book a ticket to a place called reality.
