This morning I was in a store in Dundrum SC, and at the check-out the assistant, aged perhaps 57-63, was commenting that Tony Holohan has got it wrong trying to lock us down, and that "all the ones at risk should be keeping in their homes". I asked her directly "Do you imagine you it I are at any risk?" (I'm 59) and she replied "not at all, we're not at risk". That nearly boiled my blood and I retorted "well with the amount of weight we carry, we ought to be a little concerned about our level of risk". She was stunned.
