Well to me the fact that Supermarket workers have not dropped dead in their 10's of thousands seems to dispell the fear that Supermarkets are a dangerous place.

Supermarket workers for the most part aren't in their 80's!

Still good new cases wise

Deaths falling as well overall

Failte Ireland go to the HPSC, they give the guidelines based off the NPHET guidelines. Its a bit backwards really but nothing new there.

But that’s Failte Ireland saying that. NPHET hasn’t given any guidance as yet, so dare I say Failte Ireland are putting their own interpretation on things, without any real basis?

They're going off whatever the HPSC have given them or indicated at this stage

The WHO director has warned that the global outbreak is accelerating and expressed increasing alarm at the situation in Latin America in particular which is completely out of control according to them.

WHO CHIEF SAYS CORONAVIRUS PANDEMIC 'ACCELERATING'

In the states...two records so far today

Florida endures yet another daily record in a row. 3,877 new cases vs 3,207 yesterday.

FLORIDA COVID-19 CASES RISE 4.4% VS. PREVIOUS 7-DAY AVG. 3.2%

ARIZONA REPORTS RECORD JUMP IN CASES ON FRIDAY, UP 29% DoD

Maybe it's time for people's anger to start being targeted at those places and countries around the world who have failed to control outbreaks and put everyone else at risk as a result.

Here's an article with views on face masks, I'm sure some might not appreciate the views given, others might, and others might be somewhere in the middle.
Warning - one part of the article mentions "Top immunologist, Prof. Dolores Cahill" - which is bound to cause severe rise in blood pressure for some

Anti Vax conspiracy nut? Did you actively look for that or do you follow the dribblers "blog" regularly?

Either way, You're grand.

Aerlingus to cut 500 jobs due to the continuing restrictions

The airline said the situation in Ireland is “exacerbated” by the 14-day quarantine requirement for arriving passengers and travel advice against all non-essential travel

Jesus for an industry absolutely built on safety, they are getting a bit arsey when it comes to public health advice during a global pandemic.

Any reason you seem more interested in worldwide cases rather than Ieland? You seem to have lost interest in talking about the situation here in the last few weeks.

Surely, as a country, we could allow travellers from other (European) countries who generally have the virus under control like ourselves, come to Ireland without the need for quarantine??

Absolutely.

Also this;

'validation of data at the HPSC has resulted in the denotification of 2 deaths.'

Cue the "so there was zero deaths" brigade, ignoring the fact that there is still two more grieving families due to COVID.

We have to open up to the world at some stage.

Easy to gain control with measures on a small island.

What we are dealing with here is a range of countries not taking either their internal or international responsibilities seriously which rebounds on all of us eventually.

Say what you want about the Chinese but at least they put boots on the ground and take the measures needed to try and halt transmission.

Wasn't easy, as expected back in March with measures in place it would take months to contain the virus on this island.
