    Brexit, for once some facts.

    That candour has been the most refreshing part of the Irish Government handling of this so far. However I am now starting to pick a defensive vibe regarding Nursing Homes . It is evident that this one slipped below the collective radar, and they hoped rather than ensured these older...

    I would agree. The concern I have is confined spaces ,which will not have much visible or UV light, and more humidity .Under those conditions, the virus remains viable for longer, and the dispersion as a cube of the separation approximation fails. But for a person walking down a semi deserted...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I did a few calculations on this topic a number of days ago. My conclusions are that if one is in a crowded location and forced into proximity with other people, wearing s mask is beneficial.

    You know it might even be true. Not many of the NK spend January skiing in Italy. ,Very few are jetsetting between NYC LA, , Venice, Madrid and London. Any visits to China might not have allowed them access to Hubei over the critical time.

    What is your complaint? That young people were on a golf course?..I can understand that that would be distressing. That they were drinking alcohol? Were they social distancing?.

    Sorry Flecc, I must disagree. They should be suggesting the game plan ,but of course nit putting dates on it. For instance Operation Overlord was being planned from 1942 ,and the dates were very flexible ..but the sequence was not. So for instance I could see a catalogue of decisions such as ...

    Yes. The stationary shops selling to schools. The old OHP acetates were the business. HP would have had a line of these for use with Inkjet printers and then mylar based ones for Laser Printers... Using an Acetate in a Laser printer was a quick way to destroy the drum.
