Lucky for him? What does that mean in fairness. What would you have done if he wasnt lucky 😂

Why would the head chef of a pub get it,How would Leo know he was a chef in a pub?

I love a good graph.

Just to reiterate we are still in a situation where only 0.03% of the world have been infected with this.


To me a few things stick out from that.

1. Lockdowns are working

2. Perhaps this disease isn't as contagious as we think.

3. Maybe testing is really low. If so we have to ask ourselves the question as to why. Perhaps this isn't as critical as we are being led to believe.

The disease is highly infectious, numerous evidence on that but being aware and acting makes a massive difference. Lockdowns are working.


Testing is now significant in many countries, including here. Testing is limited due to reagent shortage globally.

How is it Leo's fault that the virus won't be gone until it's gone?

Is it his fault that people are scruff bags and have no sense of hygiene?

Varadkar, the HSE, WHO are responsible for lots of deaths, as are many other so called leaders, as they failed to close the borders of the countries on time. They let it come in first before deciding to do anything. We expect poor decisions from politicians anyway but this time their failures have been literally fatal.

I'd imagine the civil service do the letters not Leo himself. Letter sent to the manager who sent it to forwarded it to uncle

That can’t be true.

I know all head chefs and not one of them has a nephew.

Although, you could be his niece, I suppose.

People even saying they feel peaceful. I am sure it is hard on some but maybe studies should be equally published on those who are thinking fcuk me I was running around like a blue arsed fly before all this and I feel more rested now.

Completly, 100%. I’ve spoken with friends and a family member about it and everyone is just saying how great they feel, energy levels top notch, relaxed, rested, enjoying going for walks, focusing on overall heath, each other and doing the kinds of things we often don’t have the energy for normally as we have been conditioned to give so much more of ourselves both physically and emotionally to corporations that are over and above the agreement with them...

As someone who cycles to work, it's nice that the mantle of most hated way of getting around has been passed on to joggers for a while, I'm trying to enjoy it while it lasts

I hit one a shoulder the first week of the lockdown, I was in no mood to step off, bit rash and regretted it immediately, but as nothing followed on said nothing and felt a bit Clint Eastwood, stress relief, lol.

We expect poor decisions from politicians anyway but this time their failures have been literally fatal.

You can't hold Leo or other politicians responsible for all the deaths. Many of the deaths seem to have been 80 year olds who died of upper respiratory tract infections.

Are we waiting on a vaccine or an elixir that grants immortality?

It will be interesting to compare the overall mortality rates of 2020 to 2019, 2018, 2017 etc.

Could they not arrange for these briefings to be held earlier in the day, so we can get the main highlights in the evening bulletins.

Or maybe have a show called Stats of the Day later in the evening...come up with a catchy theme tune and have Gary Linekar present since he's at a loose end.

+100 too. When all this is over, we definitely need to reevaluate the way we live our lives. Getting up early in the morning, to earn a wage that doesn't even pay a mortgage, never mind a rent. Things have definitely slowed down and more calmer.

Two news headlines today.

Headline 1. Government say the spread of covid 19 is under control

Headline 2. Spread of covid 19 in nursing homes is out of control and a national emergency

And they say Trump bullsh*ts!
