    Such mingling outdoors is low risk unless symptomatic people are literally coughing into people’s faces.


    We're not talking about simply "mingling outdoors". We're already allowed to do that within 5km whilst exercising.

    The issue is allowing people from everywhere and anywhere to all get together to do the same thing but to travel over distance to do so including stopping to buy refreshments and use public convinces etc as people do.

    Now let me ask a question- do you really believe that "literally coughing into people’s faces" is the sole means that covid spreads?

    They also saw her dispersing small groups of 2/3 people who had stopped to talk to each other, even though they were safely distanced.

    What public conveniences do you refer to? Toilets? All closed. Non essential shops? all closed. As for your theory on refreshments we may as well shut supermarkets then. The 5k rule is a joke and everyone knows it except the idiots we have running the show.

    If it kept up at the current pace, by June 30th over 3m people would have had a dose.

    Hopefully this keeps up.

    I asked a question. In your opinion, Is it ok for me to sit under a tree in the park and read a paperback book or not?
    Yes or no?

    The covideers have decreed that such an activity is not allowed at the moment. Their logic is that if you were to have an accident, such as a branch falling of the tree and hurting you it would put further pressure on the health services.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,122 ✭✭✭✭Gael23


    13 deaths on a Sunday is not very encouraging

    Halting sites, meat factories, direct provision centres, the usual suspects.

    That's what these walk-in centres are for , to try to track it better.

    I hope another 6 people get their second dose today


  • Registered Users Posts: 968 ✭✭✭Str8outtaWuhan


    Quick question, do they test children the same way as they test adults, probe pushed right up to back of nose? neighbour had to get himself and the 7 year old tested yesterday, he got the full whack , child just got a tickle to inside of the nose, not the full push?

    Theyre aiming for 9 so they can claim a 50% increase.

    Well not in Salthill, Galway at the moment, you would be wet, cold and miserable, with relentless rain and wind.

    Less than 25 cases again between Cork and Kerry. Give us our freedom now....

    Therein lies the concern about numbers at present and what may make April 5 recommendations even more underwhelming.

    The fact that there are no trees in Salthill wouldn't help his cause either.

    The next 2 weeks are crucial.

    So there are 322 people in hospital who tested positive with COVID-19 (not all hopsitalised with it) and 66 of these are in ICU.

    They are very positive figures and some drop over the last few weeks.

    How many tests done in the last five days compared to the previous five?

    Yes and how many more of these were sent in as a precaution, or for observation, and might not be overly sick at all. How many more are recovering well and close to being sent home?

    I'd like to see the ICU age profile too.

    Almost 800,000 people living between Cork and Kerry. Less than 25 cases again today, the virus is practically non existent here. Open it up now, let us open our businesses and get our communities living again.

    Lock down Dublin, sick of it at this stage. It's farcical
