Some interesting weaponizing of Ireland's death rate going on by very ignorant people."Ireland have the 9th highest death rate per capita".Do we now.— Danny Boy (@Care2much18) April 22, 2020

short story
we're doing much better than it looks on death per capita than the various comparisons would seem to show
though we wont really know anything til next year earliest

what do we make of the government's current "stop being naughty or we'll extend the lockdown" approach?
tbh they're going to struggle to keep people in check for the bank holiday weekend let alone beyond the 5th

i think it leaves them a little wriggle either way
experts will advise a lockdown for further with some limited exceptions
tabloids and twitter will demand freedom
they dont need to show cards for now but prob wise to flag that both options are open

Could do with a rainy spell for next weekend.Been really nice all week.& people are out using the public furniture and exercise machines around the park. Playing in the adventure playground.So if there is another wave imminent will they continue to try to continue the isolation.

Two weeks from friday seems to be a bit ambitious and reducing the social distancing rules seems a bit counterproductive.I thought there wasn't any guaranteed immunity from having been through a bout of covid either.So surprised by that news.thought this was going to go oon for a while longer whatever.Aren't there going to be a load more cases of infection after the coming weekend anyway, which would presuambly only be showing theirfull blown infection in 2 weeks time.So sounds a little premature doesn't it?

In his May 2007 interview with Jason O'Toole, former Minister for Health Cowen admitted to smoking marijuana, saying,
Anyone who went to the UCD bar in the '70s that didn't get a whiff of marijuana would be telling you a lie. I would say there were a couple of occasions when it was passed around – and, unlike President Clinton, I did inhale! There wasn't a whole lot in it really – (it was like) a Sweet Afton, as a 10-year-old, under a railway bridge on a rainy day, in small town Ireland in the late '60s. I certainly got more enjoyment out of a few pints.

The new nation is the Irish Republic.
Before Brexit and Mr Johnson, Ireland might have taken an informal cue on handling the pandemic from its larger and richer neighbour.
Where is this leading? The coalition has a clear majority. All three parties voted decisively for it.
The post-pandemic reopening of pubs this week has had to be pushed back because of a spike in cases.
This is nevertheless a salutary moment. Step by step, Ireland’s old nationalist politics, shaped by Britain in so many ways, have moved on.
Ireland is prospering by doing things more rationally and in ways that are firmly rooted in the state’s membership of multilateral institutions. The many in these islands who yearn for Britain to do likewise can only look on as, in Ireland, an enviable beauty is born.

Some people ask, “what makes you proud to be Irish? The culture, the music, the superior dairy products?” While these are all good shouts, the only true answer is “ilxors are unconsciously picking and using Hiberno-Irish, thereby confirming it as the site’s prestige dialect.”

I feel there might now be popular support for my platform of attendees to Oireachtas Golf Society events to be greeted by machine-gun fire - the problem is maintaining that support next year if Covid is no longer an issue.
There will be a lot of people thinking "The politicians giving out about this are jealous that they weren't there".
Also, they're not entirely wrong there.
