Naw I am going to drive straight home to Galway. Hopefully I will be able to eat some nettles or grass on the way home. When I get to Salthill I will eat some limpets.

The Bundesliga seriously considering stopping from this weekend and not awarding a trophy.

Not a good sign for Liverpool fans, although the UK seem to be holding off on big decisions for now.

Probably been briefed in government buildings about the new cases.

Looking at our neighbours on both sides, I'm just glad that our leaders are listening to experts. And prime-time gave some good advice too. I'm old enough to remember the mad cow and food and mouth disease and we handled those well. Back then our politicians and leaders listened to the experts and we got over it.

Amy fcukin' eejit who thinks that experts shouldn't be listened to should have Daniel O Donnell fix their gas leak and go for a very long nap.

It all depends on testing . If you test everyone.. a very high% will have it .

If you only test a small amount of ppl .

It's self explanatory

That would be the other way around.

If you were to theft everyone in the country you would find a very low percentage would be positive.

If you test a small number of people who are high risk - ie symptomatic, close contacts etc, you expect to return a relatively high percentage of positive results.

So the lower the percentage of tests that are positive, the more certain we can be of catching the majority of cases.

This to me is more similar to the threat posed by Chernobyl than to that of 9/11.

Chernobyl, Fukushima and the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami all spring to mind.

Let's hope the global death toll is nowhere as devastating as the tsunami!

Hopefully people won’t be as vague towards you with information as you’ve been on here to others. Best of luck.

Coveney on Prime Time reminding us that at the end of the day, he and Leo will do whatever the EU say, regardless of whether it's best for Ireland or not.

He could be under pressure from France and Germany, which both want to keep borders open.
Macron attached Austria for closing their borders.
Could be that France and Germany have more leverage on Ireland (compared to, say, Austria) for all the support during Brexit negotiations.
First cheque being cashed in, more to follow.

SF mouthpiece.

Only interested in hurling from the ditch.

No interest in putting her big mouth where the money is.

Agreed, I'm quietly confident we are handling this the way the countries fairing better are. I like that in the latest case reports, each case can be identified and labelled. Contact tracing seems to be the key, they should ask for volunteers. Id happily give my time.

Some people will find absolutely any excuse to get a dig at the government.

Leo takes his advice from professionals. Imagine if he took it from numpties on the internet.

The decision today was welcomed by the vast majority of people. Only the idiots are disagreeing.

To be fair, he's probably bollixed.

HIV of course also another disaster to compare it to. Of course the thing with HIV is that they couldn't develop a vaccine for it and it constantly changes - for all we know that could happen here as well!

Maybe time to stop interfering with wildlife!
