Why do you insist on relating the UK's problems to Ireland?

Because as far as I'm aware supermarkets aren't much different in Ireland and therefore the same things can and will happen there in the case of a second surge. Those clinging onto things like saying supermarkets are inherintly perfectly safe seem to be taking their cue from the likes of Lidl apparently saying their staff have had very few cases of Covid. What about other companies? It reeks of the lifting the restrictions thread mob. Argue for lifting things, but don't be disingeous about it.

You travelled to every supermarket in the country? Customers gave each other space here too at the height of the lockdown but things have gone rapidly downhill - well actually it's back to normal now. No social distancing whatsoever. If Ireland does have an uptick in cases I'll be interested to see how people are second time around.

You're in the UK right? Can I ask how are you so informed of the behaviour of people in Supermarkets here?
Everyone I have visited with a few exceptions of idiots people have been doing what's required.

Yes I was talking about UK supermarkets. I have relatives in Ireland who confirm what you say - the people they see have been good in supermarkets. But that still doesn't make supermarkets safe places to be.

Excellent idea this, a few more cities and towns would do well to adopt it

this would be really great!! That's one of the things that I miss from Greece, that we can sit outside for many months and have a coffee or a meal.

The story you linked to in the UK does not say that the staff got infected in the supermarket. It is possible, of course, but also possible they picked it up elsewhere giving the big outbreak in Leicester. It is also possible some of them live together, and picked it up at home from eachother.

The story doesn't say that any customers got infected.

I don't know if supermarkets or safe or not but the story in Leicester doesn't provide evidence that they are not safe.

Lidl released figures of 11staff infected with Covid all recovered out of a workforce of 4500 in the ROI. I would say it's quite safe tbh.

To be fair, every single person in a hospital rn should be wearing a mask.

To be fair, every medical worker in a hospital probably has a far better grasp of the basics and reality than most internet forum drama queens.

Good news on the cases doing down again. According to the dashboard, they carried out 4300 tests yesterday so the positivity rate is tiny.

I even suspect some of those numbers include the Sligo event

Sligo is +10 for yesterday

I haven't been to the UK recently to compare, but I can say that Irish people in general have been very observant of social distancing in the supermarket. Outliers excepted.

Yes, it does. If people are not picking up the virus in particular locations then those locations must surely be safe places. Or do you subscribe to the notion that the virus is waiting around every corner?

Give it time they didn't swim from Iraq, how many more were on that plane they arrived on.

Do we know the flight details?

It's best to look at weekly trends I think

Daily ones, unless there's crazy surges of 100 cases, aren't much use when the numbers are this low

Here is the distribution of the 24 cases with the latest county by county information in todays pressrelease, 10 are in Sligo, 11 between Dublin and Kildare.

Minus the Sligo cluster yesterday is +14. +7 if you take out healthcare workers.

Anyone keeping an eye on the county leaderboards while Higgins is on holidays for the week?.

And this is why places like Italy or doing so well having relaxed lockdown - its when we all move back inside again that we need to be careful (same is true in FL now as summer time means indoors + aircon).[/QUOTE

Yes. The risk of transmission in an outdoor setting seems to be low,
It will be interesting to see if there is a rise in cases when air travel resumes in earnest. I would count flight time, especially on budget airlines, as having the same effect as being indoors. Temperatures checks before flying won't detect all cases

Not seen a lot of reports about transmission on flights in fairness. Maybe if you sat next to them perhaps, but even then you may not even develop symptoms such is the nature of this.
