I am amazed that there are still some hosts letting out the spare room on Airbnb. I was able to successfully complete (and cancel) a booking for Sutton for this weekend.

We should do what Czechs are doing.

PRAGUE (Reuters) - Officials in Prague are using the coronavirus crisis to get a firmer grip on short-term rentals like Airbnb, which they say have squeezed locals out of the Czech capital’s centre.
Using state of emergency powers in place during the coronavirus pandemic, the Czech parliament’s lower chamber fast-tracked a plan allowing local authorities to better collect tax and other information on short-term lets.

Like the west, and the south of Ireland, and the North too.

Its the pissing rain and rip off prices that get to me and lack of any decent amenities for kids etc.

I live in ireland 300 odd days of the year. Nothing wrong with time away either.

There is rain in every country! I know of some children who want simple things from holidays. Time spent with parents who are usually too busy. Children want time and simple things like rock pools and sea and sand at their feet... not geared up to the nines in the latest skiing clobber and being shoved down an ice clad mountain for parent media clicks.

Glasso, what are them pictures?

Where online can we view the same and thanks

as I explained they were sent to me on WA.

I don't know exactly what they signify.

I doubt, assuming that they are real that they are online.

you can see COVID 19 on the top of the screen but that could be just part of the fake but it would be reasonably elaborate if fake imo

Although would explain the high amount of barricades put up around coastline areas in the red zone parts in the last couple of days. - Killiney , Sandycove etc - photos were going around of that.

Re supermarkets it's all ancedotal but have you guys seen how many London bus drivers have died from this? Think it was around 10 at last check. I'm wondering if even being at the front of the bus as they are but in such a compact environment greatly increases their exposure compared to supermarket staff? But again it's just what we're getting to hear - maybe there are many cases from supermarket workers it just doesn't sound as "newsworthy" as bus drivers? We are still in relatively early days with this whole thing - maybe it will turn out that supermarkets presented a very low risk for some reason but the journey on the bus there will turn out to be extremely risky? Personally I'll be avoiding them all as much as possible for the foreseeable.

A chinese study found the 2 metre distancing isn't enough on a bus, at least on a long journey (4 hours). I'd expect the same would apply to taxis, trains and air travel.

I felt guilty this evening. A lady in her 60s came right up beside me in the queue to enter Tesco (even in the pre-era of social restrictions, she was in my personal space). I then asked her for some space. As I queued for the till, she was ahead of me. She noticed a (very cute) baby in a pram (child no more than 5 months). She said “you are such a cute child” and tickled the child under its chin. The dad looked down awkwardly at the floor. I told her that social distancing is not just some theoretical concept, that people throughout this country are getting sick. As I was walking to my car, her and her daughter were giving me dirty looks. I feel terrible now

I agree He was responsible for wiping out TB from Ireland by helping get built loads of hospitals around the country much to the detriment of his government because of the expenditure and his famous showdown with Bishop McQuaid from Derry.

Unfortunately a gross oversimplification.

Sanitorium building plan was by outgoing FF government MoH, it continuation was an agreed plank of the Interparty Government as it was being formed, the BCG vaccination scheme was the state's adoption of an ongoing vaccination campaign by voluntary organisations, and the reason Interparty Government fell was FG opposition to 'socialist medicine'

Noel's 'showdown' was a piece of political theatre, but there can be no argument that he was the main vocal driving force behind the anti-TB programme of the Interparty Government.

It was his intransigent stance and the equally intransigent pro-IMO anti-socialist stance of some of his government colleagues that led to it's collapse.

Why share a random screen shot from WA that you have no idea what it is and post no context with it ???

A beautiful country but...

You are not guaranteed weather

It’s expensive, when compared to many other locations...
-food
-hotels
-transport
-pints
-general amenities

People want to see and experience different cultures and countries too.

I get that but I have travelled and see the same thing going on culture wise. We are no different from each other.

Presumably she wants to be able to leave the house sometime within the next couple of years.

If the lockdown was lifted and those with cystic fibrosis and other serious underlying health problems stayed in isolation then herd immunity would develop among those people who have no underlying problems and the pandemic would be over in a few months.

It seems as though North-West of last month has now become North.

It was really Donegal then, what if anything else, now makes up North?

If the host has tested positive and recovered, then I guess there is nothing wrong with them doing that

The hub of this outbreak was in China.

Australia and New Zealand are much closer to China, so why not compare them to us? Potentially they could have been really badly affected - particularly in Australia, where there is a huge Asian population.

The connections between Europe and China dwarf those between Australian and NZ and China. We get millions more tourists than New Zealand every year due to our proximity to Europe and USA.

Don't deny any of that, but they could have caveated it accordingly. They knew every country in the world was after this stuff. All they had to say is "we are awaiting the reagent, and that is out of our control" rather than trying to convince everyone they were "in control"

Normally with lab supplies you place an order, and it arrives within a few days. This is unprecedented, the scarcity wasn't apparent until the items couldn't be sourced. I'm not involved in covid 19 testing, but the lab I work in has had difficulty getting in supplies of products or random standard consumable products taking weeks to arrive.

I would be very surprised if the very low density suburbs of south east coastal dublin were the 'epicentre' of the outbreak in the city

I wouldn't feel guilty. She could have infected multiple people.

The colours signify density - red being the most dense.
As I said, it's a heat map.

Imagine if you had an excel file containing the home address of every person that tested positive.
You simply take that file and feed it into data visualisation software which will give you an output like this. Clear means no known cases in the immediate area. Yellow means few. Red means lots.

As for the dots, I could only guess that grey is a case, and red is a death.

Don’t feel terrible. I’ve twins still in a pram and I’d never let any stranger touch them. Surprised the father didn’t say anything or step in to block her. I’d have gone ape.
