    Bill Hughes from Newstalk is certain he caught it from a group of joggers that passed too close to him.

    I heard his out burst a few months back on Pat Kenny's show. He was just jumping to wild conclusions and looking for somebody to blame. Unless he tracked down those 2 joggers and found out they were positive at that time it was just an uninformed fearmongering rant.

    I'd say Bill is one of those people that hates anyone who exercises tho.... probably tell you that running is bad for you too - "will destroy yours knees..." he says, sitting eating a fry.

    maybe dig a bit deeper into your wardrobe, I would say most being could manage especially when going nowhere, do you really need new PJ's and shoes for christmas day!

    And do you really need to be so condescending? I'm not a person that maintains a 'wardrobe'. I tend to wear the same small amount of clothes until they need replacement. I'm not desperate for clothes, but some of the condescending posts in reply to posters who say that they need to buy clothes are galling.

    Really? Italy has a serious problem with football violence. It's all over the news there that they are exploiting the situation to cause havoc. How is that relevant? Again the majority of people are adhering to restrictions. These thugs are out in force in these protests and most cities have large groups.

    Peaceful protest is fine. Violence should always be condemned. Don't you agree?
    The nasty element always get headlines. Same as here with the anti mask alt-right-sh!te element here.

    I don't know where you are going with this. Honestly. I stated that it could be a rising problem. I didn't condone it.

    That's great, I didn't suggest you did. You stated that "it has a habit of spreading on the continent". That I don't agree. Italy has a particular issue with a violent football ultra scene who are exploiting the situation. While some countries have similar issues, particularly Eastern Europe, most don't.

    When Naples didn't collect it's rubbish for years it didn't spread to the rest of the continent. Italy is beautiful country but not without its issues.

    At least a while back there was proof you could catch it from passing joggers or cyclists and they generate more plume. I'm not a huge fan of Bill but I would believe him.

    He might joke about that but doubt that's the way he thinks.

    This is what happens when the government is totally unable to counter a problem.
    People are sick and tired of new sets of rules and restrictions every other day, and are sick and tired of not getting any refund that the government keep promising.
    I dare to say that this might be just the beginning.

    Through this mania it’s been interesting- there is an element out there that relish the prospect of closing gyms and any form of exercise. Usually people that don’t exercise themselves interestingly

    Could be Marseille next. Perhaps it's because there is no water between them, but this thing does have a habit of spreading between countries on the continent. The ultras and their equivalents are in communication across all borders.

    I'm not saying its not possible. But he could also have picked it up from a door handle or a petrol pump. He just wanted to blame somebody else, in this case the joggers. He can't say for certain it was them yet he went on a wild rant about their behaviour.

    I think it was highlighted yesterday, people who no longer drink alcohol want it banned etc etc, it's obvious people want others inconvenienced more than they are themselves.

    The difference out and about this morning

    If we are serious about breaking the chain of transmission or whatever phrase used we should definitely extend midterm by a week

    Out and about is not the issue, in and about most certainly is.

    Upto 354 in the hospital. Quiet a spike from 311 on Friday.

    Hopefully some of this will be explained by a rush of discharges today as many hospital discharges are held till Monday (tuesday on a bh) for their doctor to have a last look before discharge.

    Fair enough, not being able to try them on is a pain.

    I just don't get this uproar about Tesco/Dunnes... saw on my local Facebook page also, you'd swear kids were wearing coal sacks the way people were complaining.

    Well just one example for you . My grandchild is just started walking
    She will need shoes , she needs to be measures and fitted .
    Thats only one small example . How come clothes didn’t seem a huge issue last March when at least we could buy a pair of shoes

    Walking into Supervalue there earlier and an auld one nearly dived into a load of trolleys to make sure she didn't come near me. The fear of god is in these people. Feel very sorry for them.

    Probably nothing to do with Covid, you were wearing your Halloween mask weren't you?

    This should be the case .. very few hospitals discharge over a weekend. If not discharged on a Friday you are left till the Monday ( Tuesday this week ) .
    So hoping to see a the hospital numbers level off again after today .

    Still, I wouldn't be expecting it to drop below Friday's number.

    The start of the week usually isn't a massive discharge. If the doctor thought someone would be well enough to go home on Monday morning, they'd usually discharge them on the Friday instead rather than force them to spend a weekend languishing in hospital.

    As a result Thursday/Friday are the big discharge days.

    But this time the bank holiday might make a difference.
