If there isn't 20+ new cases within Kerry daily next week it will be a miracle. I had planned a walk on Inch Beach but it too was packed with a serious amount of undesirables, basically the sort of chav thrash that would be found in the eco-systems of Benidorm and Malaga wound up in Dingle and Inch today. I would say there was a 0.5 - 1% mask wearing rate also with zero social distancing observed. I wore a mask myself and had some smart comments from what sounded like Limerick city accents.

We must be getting a huge amount of staycationers that would have usually gone abroad at this time of year. It's scary really, a friend of mine who works there told me that there are droves of busloads of American's visiting Blarney Castle to kiss the stone since last week. Whoever is calling the shots with regard to keeping the second wave under control needs to tell us what the plan is.

dobman88 wrote: » I'm not sure if you're trolling after the Healy Rae comment but I actually agree with this. Close off flights from the US should be happening. Allow flights that followed a similar or more strict lockdown system than ourselves and have suppressed the virus somewhat
JP Liz V1 wrote: » Trump has closed the US off for us, so why can't we do the same here or at least strict quarantine and testing at the airports which the holidayers can pay for themselves

There looked to be about 15 people standing in a chipper queue, all about three inches away from each other, and "flocks" of people and kids wandering around. It was like none of them had even heard about the virus, or couldn't give a toss if they had. With my wife being vulnerable with no immune system, we decided not to risk even getting out of the car, and took off home again. Things in Kerry weren't too bad until the tourists started arriving in large numbers, there's a phenomenal number of UK reg cars and camper-vans all over the place, in addition to all the Americans who snuck in through the back door. Things don't bode too well for the aftermath when they've all cleared off.

We have spent months not seeing our friends, family, many of us have lost jobs etc etc. Not to mention the loss of life and the illness those who have survived have experienced. The virus also put many of our health care workers to the pin of their collar. I of course have nothing against Americans, I have family on both sides living there whom I love dearly but when American is so hot with the virus at the minute, it's absolutely playing roulette not prohibiting non cargo flights from there into Ireland at the minute.
