NYT reporting that the EU is to ban travellers from the USA other than repatriations and essential travel. Yet to be confirmed though, and I’m sure that there will be some politics to play out

No surpise, all travel at the moment should be within the EU

Great response.

You're telling me that after you stated that Italy had zero cases last year. Italy obviously had zero cases last year when the virus didn't feckin exist.

Thanks for making my point.

120 cases is too many.

I think I'm going to go talk to the wall, it's more receptive.

Makes sense though given their numbers are shooting upwards with little or no controls and testing, with the logic to keep the numbers down being to test less.

Dublin R0 is at -0.2, good job everyone. First day without a case

Dublin has no cases despite Shopping centres reopening, BLM marches, planes landing etc, you'd nearly think this was refined to health care workers and residential settings....

Ah seriously, really? How long are shopping centres open, and how long can the virus take to manifest itself? Super basic maths.

And before someone stupidly takes up what I'm saying incorrectly because they want to, I'm not saying we'll see a spike in two weeks either.

BLM marches were 3 weeks ago
All retail opened 15 days ago and people are continuously complaining about lack of social distancing.
Shopping centres are now open 8 days. Incubation period is on average 5 days and turnaround on tests is now a day or two max.

If any of these activities were going to show a spike in cases they would have done so by now, but they haven't.

the fact is the vast majority of cases are now health care workers, meat factory workers and their close contacts, this is borne out in the stats ACitizenErased posts each day if you bothered delving into them.

Would you say there is potential that the virus could be brought in from outside and seen as we have almost everything opened now, that this potentially could lead to numbers rising as the virus then increases in the community?

I'm aware of where the cases are coming from, but your stretching yourself when you try to bring shopping centres into play.

Shopping centres are generally big open spaces with plenty of airflow so it's pretty low risk.
I agree the big risk will be travel and opening pubs and restaurants but our numbers are so low now that there is no better time to try it out.

The people saying x,y or z is going to cause a second wave are the same people who said things like people jogging on the streets, sunbathing in parks or congregating at bottle banks were going to cause the spread a few months ago.

They have been proven wrong on so many occasions and will continue to be, I encourage people to stop listening to such fear mongering posters.
