    I asked a question. In your opinion, Is it ok for me to sit under a tree in the park and read a paperback book or not?
    Yes or no?

    The covideers have decreed that such an activity is not allowed at the moment. Their logic is that if you were to have an accident, such as a branch falling of the tree and hurting you it would put further pressure on the health services.

    Halting sites, meat factories, direct provision centres, the usual suspects.

    Quick question, do they test children the same way as they test adults, probe pushed right up to back of nose? neighbour had to get himself and the 7 year old tested yesterday, he got the full whack , child just got a tickle to inside of the nose, not the full push?

    Theyre aiming for 9 so they can claim a 50% increase.

    Are you telling people to disobey restrictions so?

    Have you not just answered your own question?

    Therein lies the concern about numbers at present and what may make April 5 recommendations even more underwhelming.

    The fact that there are no trees in Salthill wouldn't help his cause either.

    So there are 322 people in hospital who tested positive with COVID-19 (not all hopsitalised with it) and 66 of these are in ICU.

    They are very positive figures and some drop over the last few weeks.

    They also saw her dispersing small groups of 2/3 people who had stopped to talk to each other, even though they were safely distanced.

    What newspaper was that in?

    Yes and how many more of these were sent in as a precaution, or for observation, and might not be overly sick at all. How many more are recovering well and close to being sent home?

    I'd like to see the ICU age profile too.

    Almost 800,000 people living between Cork and Kerry. Less than 25 cases again today, the virus is practically non existent here. Open it up now, let us open our businesses and get our communities living again.

    Lock down Dublin, sick of it at this stage. It's farcical

    This week compared to last 128 more cases and worth nothing from over 20,000 extra tests.

    81 reported deaths this week 45 of them occurred in March.

    Don't open those then. Can still open hairdressers and click and collect and not have Dubs come down for that.

    100% agree it’s now time for them look at this regionally, get other parts of the country up and running depending on disease spread.

    Surely they could open non essential retail and hairdressers in say Cork/Kerry for example,monitor figures and see if there is any significant rise in numbers there and take it from there
