It's hard to scan that one actually. Not sure what the concern is, is it take aways in general? Take aways allowed during COVID19? Is it the neighbour? Is it concern for inappropriate clothing for the current weather?

It's a new religion.

Cuomo presser from this afternoon in NYC says definitely not. Lock down will be extended there.

Boris going into ICU this evening also points to an extension..

I really can’t see any easing until mid summer at the earliest.

I know optimism isn't allowed in here but its looking like NY and a lot of the US is reaching its peak now, same with the UK. In the US, outside of NYC, nowhere has become overwhelmed and there are plenty of ICU beds available. If thats the case then it will mean some easing in several weeks time. Why would Boris going into ICU mean an extension of restrictions?

did Mary Louise McDonald have rant today, giving out about varadkar about him helping out 1 day a month... anyone got a link to it send it on thanks

Didn't hear but probably. She is going nuts at the fact that she is largely being sidelined through this whole crisis. She clearly believed her own hype about being the leader of the country because only 76% of the population voted against her.

There's been a definite downward trend in deaths in Spain and Italy. Possibly the UK, but too soon to be definite. .

Regarding the UK figures, the figures last monday were lower, only for them to rise the next day. There may be some diffculty around ascertaining true figures over the weekend. If the UK were to get three days of a declining mortality rate that could well indicate the Virus has peaked there

Last I heard she was in a safe house recovering from a virus of some kind, and now today it seems like she's been sniping from the sidelines.

The amount of "not looking good" posts on here!

If your dad or ma was in ICU on a ventilator (and they haven't even confirmed that Boris is on one) would you be saying "it's not looking good" or would you be saying "hope they get better soon" ????????

All the best to Boris, but my god how the British media love to fawn...

Have we a time for the Dons press briefing this evening?

Been there P and though I hoped for the latter, I was mindful of the former and the former it turned out to be.

Terribly inconsiderate questions from Claire Byrne to Jon Snow.

It would be exactly the same here if our Taoiseach was taken seriously ill ...

I thought she infected the virus and it decided to self isolate.

No one wants Boris to lose this fight, but it's a huge wake up call to us all

fair enough Wibbs, but point being that in advance you weren't calling it as not looking good.

God, Jon Snow very downbeat on Claire Byrne there. Gives a glimpse of the effect it will have on the British public if he doesn't pull through.

I don’t think he was deliberately shaking hands with sick patients of Covid19. Also he was doing the same and what Leo and Harris are doing - acting on medical advice given. He could have caught it anywhere

Hopefully he pulls through and its a wake up call for him too.

We are practising herd immunity too. The only way to become immune in the next 12 months is to get it. The same amount of people will get it but it will just be done over a longer period of time which will reduce the death toll among those who have got the virus. This doesn't take into account the lives lost and livelihoods ruined due to the economic damage that the lockdown has caused. I wouldn't like to be the one making these decisions.

Has the last 2/3 weeks of news not woke you up?

Why is it that a PM of the UK has to go into intensive care because we all wake up?

I can't stand the tories or the guy's politics (or lack of) but am absolutely shellshocked by Boris in ICU. It would be an awful symbol for the country and i know he isn't the healthiest guy around but neither is he anywhere near as unhealthy as so many out there. I don't dare look up the last PM to die in office. I don't dare to even go in my garden after this news!

Trump too has the attitude, '' won't happen to me'' Far too many people around Trump, all sharing objects and breathing all over him.

Do French hospitals have much higher ICU capacity than Italy? I havnt heard about triage in French hospitals yet but they have over 7000 patients in ICU, vs 4000 in Italy. France has the highest number of patients in ICU in the world after the USA

I am finding it hard to imagine that a portion of people (the usual suspects) are going to adhere to the restrictions/social distancing stuff as we enter the easter break/weekend. Cops will have to be out in force for some beaches and walking spots if they intend on keeping the restrictions in place.
