Boris Johnson is allegedly going to recommend face masks/coverings be worn on public transport, in shops and office as part of his announcement tonight

I imagine we'll get the same this week

I think that would be great news if Boris stepped up and implemented a requirement for masks in indoor environments. We will have to adapt the same mask or face covering approach because of the North and the border counties. Masks/face coverings can only be a good thing going forward for two reasons

1) some people can be asymptomatic and shed virus
2) being infectious before symptoms appear.

Last week or the week before I said we won't recommend face masks until the UK does...so I hope I'm right and we follow the UK

Can anyone tell me why just before the Angelus there are some people remembered? It seems to be the same people every time.

branie2 · 10-05-2020 06:04PM

The falling number of deaths is a good sign

It has always been different people whenever I saw it.

Apart from looking like an eejit none really....but it has to be all or nothing for it to work...........If person A doesn't have the virus and is wearing a mask comes across person B who does have the virus and not wearing a mask , it's a futile exercise for the most part

Like Trump said the virus will go away without a vaccine...the reality is most of the world has already probably been infected and giving people a vaccine which has been created in a few months is going to do more harm than good... and we dont know the long term effects of these vaccines anyway...

"Most" of the world? I'm guessing you mean more than 50% of the global population.

So you think the above amount (more than 50% of the global population) are statistically likely to have already been affected?

Almost like people don't read their own links.

Stats are meaningless on a Sunday. Wait till Tuesday and it'll have the "missing" deaths from today.

phormium · 10-05-2020 06:08PM

I don't think it's the same ones at all, same people standing around the fountain thing alright but different photos.

A further 12 COVID-19 patients have died in the Republic and there are 236 new confirmed cases.

Why so many new cases?

Loozer · 10-05-2020 06:12PM

Masks Will be a pain in the hole

Supermarkets are the unofficial social outlet for many people now with everyplace else closed

Because people seem to think that it won't happen to them so no need for them to take the restrictions seriously more than likely.

So many middle-aged women hanging around supermarkets talking sh1te to other middle-aged women blocking doors aisles and car parking spots. They have the nerve then to blame young people. Absolutely dread going shopping these days.

We need more guards on the beat to sort them out

What about people who cannot wear them for medical reasons? Are they going to be refused entry to shops or public transport? Or would they have to carry around some kind of medical cert to prove it?

Time for an announcement every 10 minutes or so over the tannoy reminding shoppers of what is expected of them to lessen the chances of infection.

Thats why I used the word 'different'. I was agreeing that it may be the post/ formites or delieverys or person delievering or even somebody else. In this case possibly a husband staying apart in the house. Some people are also sneaking out and telling family a different story or even having eg. grandkids in while everybody is out.
Apologies I should have elaborated more.

Masks might be but I would prefer to wear a mask in public then an oxygen mask in hospital

It could be due to the meat factories. I believe they had to send in a taskforce to some plants.

When we start easing restrictions it is going to be a free for all. One of the main things I have taken from this whole thing is that people are completely incapable of taking any personal responsibility. Not just that alone but I am flabbergasted at the amount of people that need extreme hard rules to be able to discern things that are safe and unsafe.The binary thinking that if it isn't mandated exactly by the Government then whatever they are doing is perfectly fine. Is this a lack of awareness, critical thinking ability or where does it stem from?

A mixed regional picture - half of today's new cases were in Dublin, but there were fewer than ten in the whole of Munster, with none in Kerry or Clare. Likewise, none recorded in Monaghan, Donegal or Leitrim.

That though stems from population density though more than attitude to large degree I would guess.

Maybe its time for education including the leaving cert, to be over hauled? :-)
