    I hope they meant all passengers and crew will require a negative covid test, the big mistake made on the Diamond Princess was that infected crew was retained to continue working.

    From what my friends still in the industry has told me is crew would need a negative test to join the ship, they are then not allowed off the ship for the entire work contract which is 5-6 months. Terrible in my opinion,

    I still have friends stuck on cruise ships right now, they have not stepped foot on land since the start/ mid March.

    If it's around 30 expect to see posts saying contract tracing etc is working, we know the clusters..etc.

    Good to see coordination of any sort. First meeting in 4 years.
    I'd say that's why Ryanair are suing. zero tolerance covid on the cards.

    Timing very telling.

    That's right. They just make up and deliberately massage figures to suit some perverted objective. Come off it!

    That’s fine, thanks. As I said I haven’t been tuning in the last few weeks tend to catch figures online later in the evening, so wasn’t sure if it changed. I’m sure I’m not alone tonight in ‘Looking’ for the figures after yesterday.

    Good. Great. I never thought I would say this, but I am 100% in support of Ryanair and although unlikely, I hope they sue and bankrupt the living hell of these bunch of clowns.

    Doesn't matter who is in the right or wrong about reopening something or not - the utter purposeful confusion and mixed messaging debacle that has taken the piss on the entire country needs a reckoning.

    Hope they ruin the government down to the ground.

    Hopefully the government finds some way to tax you specifically to recover the monies.

    May well be, my point is that if it was 100-150 you'd get the same response.

    I'm in the middle but the positivity and negativity spin that some posters put on the numbers isn't actually reasonable.

    They didn't miscount them, but "probable" cases were added to "definite" cases, according to WHO requirements.

    Weird seeing as reported postive tests and those announced weren't out by much for the last 2 days.

    29 postives in the last 24hrs
