Small shops are due to open up from Friday in Northern Ireland, and it looks like we'll be able to start having mass again from the end of the month (which might not be a big deal for most of you, but for me, is a blessed relief). We've now gone 3 days without a death from Coronavirus - the big one being today, as Sunday/Monday usually have lower numbers due to the weekend, so as long as the R rate doesn't creep up again without warning, it looks like our island is over the worst of it.

Do you know how many patients are still in ICU in NI?

There are 53 in hospital with 9 in ICU, according to Belfast Live.

Seems like once these cases are either discharged or unfort pass away we could be in a situation of startingnto control things but of course the cases in the south are important also as we live on a small Island.

Wasn’t that the same week we all asked why we weren’t getting a lockdown and everyone else was? The same week Boris told us to just keeping washing our hands, singing happy birthday twice and to take it on the chin?

 

So much blood on their hands.

Don't forget that it was rumoured at the time that Johnson's hand was forced when Pres. Macron threatened to close the border if the UK didn't act.

I admire your optimism but I am quite sure the R rate will rise again even in NI. Any second wave will be more in England I think though, because of restrictions being eased a bit more quickly than NI in general, a higher population density and there having been more non-socially distanced protests.

 

As for mass, they will have to socially distance mass and not allow too many people into a church at once.

It really is the perfect time for the inevitable no-deal Brexit.

This needs to be retweeted everywhere

I'm still confused by the UK lockdown start. What was the damn point in advising but not making it mandatory?

 

For the record, I started my lockdown as soon as they advised it, thinking everything would close.

If we have a no-deal Brexit it's going to be absolutely chaotic, said before that I work in the food industry. There will be genuine product shortages in the supply chain as most of the stockpiling people had been doing for a no-deal Brexit was used during Covid-19. And you just cannot produce the same tonnage with the measures in place. What already was a terrible decision, will be absolute catastrophic.

 

I've seen some of the shite they want businesses to implement and there's no chance it can be done.

This is incredible really. Only a government containing this shower of shite could get Health and the economy so wrong.

It's saying here single people can join with multi households but then on BBC saying it's only single people living separately by themselves who would be able to combine households??

 

It's so infuriating that the media can't just report straight facts in times like this and the government can't just be crystal clear with information. It's not difficult ffs.

I would assume that the household that a single person household can mix with can be anything from an entire family to just another single person - but that you cannot include any other households within that bubble. So both apply, e.g. join with a household with multiple people in it, OR one other single person.

Seems to me that it's people living by themselves can now tack on to a household to create some form of bubble. Seems sensible to me for the next week at least.

 

I only caught bits of the conference, but pretty clear they won't advise anything until Track & Trace goes fully operational. I also got the opinion that is the Government goes down it's going to take professor Neil Ferguson with it.

It does take a special degree of incompetence to fail so badly.

Yeah, I took it that I'd be able to join a bubble with my parents, but not if my brother also did with them.

I assume it'll all be restricted to outdoors anyway will it not?

Nope - you can stay overnight and don't have to practice 'social distancing', i.e. you effectively would become tacked on to the household you choose to join together with.
