Absolutely, and it would be great if that was something which was accessed nationwide. The government announced plans to deliver 200,000 laptops to deprived areas a few weeks ago. We haven’t seen one.

Aye, I don't know how our borough is doing it, whether it's their own funding or some external source akin to the Dolly Parton thing for books.
Interesting to look at Ireland graphs, analysing the data looks like peak infection rate was the 20-25th of March.
We're marginally lifting our lock down on Monday.

Big question for Ireland is why are the number of deaths on those over 80+ higher in comparison to countries like Italy, Spain, Canada and South Korea who had worse outbreaks and health systems were more under pressure then our own.
Subjectively, do older people in Ireland have more comorbidities or did we not protect our residential care enough, is it decsion making in terms of access to acute care and clinical trajectory. Else wise it could be the reporting of the Data, we are reporting absolutely everything. Time for reflection and lesson lerned as we entered the next phase.

Our 5 day average is below 1% growth (not R0) across the range for the first time as we look to enter our first phase of easing restrictions. The spke in confirmed cases was aback log tis week over a period of time added to to Thursdays daily figures.
Clearer anecdotal evidance internationally emerging, challenging the myth that Covid does not impact children.

Recipe for disaster.

Isolating healthcare workers still required to return to work early if asymptomatic to avoid staff shortages
Asymptomatic healthcare staff can currently return to work, despite being close contacts of a confirmed Covid-19 case.

Heartbreaking but true.
Now as a largely complaint society we will be going face covering on Monday after marginally lifting our lockdown.
Some Irish retailers are a head of the game.
20 odd yoyo for a trendy face covering. Its going to be the thing.

Irish designers are creating reusable face masks
Irish designers have begun making some exceptionally fashionable masks so that, should people want to pick up a reusable mask, they have their choice of designs.

How can 1 disease cause another seperate?
This COVID seems a freak virus in everything from its effects to wide range of symptoms.

I'm probably subconciously filtering out couples who don't fit my preconceptions, but every time I go to the supermarket the few couples shopping almost always seem to have at least one of them in a risk group ( obese or elderly ), which is frankly bizarre and suggests some sort of deathwish.
I can see the reaction to that going down well on GOT if the government here suggested that !
So much is still unknown, however one characteristic seems to be a different impact developmentally. In a way the world up to this point has neglected ages, were the population isn't large i.e. the vast majority of the population range is 20-60, minors and older people and the specific needs of that developmental group are only now beginning to be looked at appreciated. Essentially the world has been caught with pants down while covid wasn't a thing just 5 months ago and the immediate response was to protect the majority of the population. We now need to look at its impact across the life cycle. Covid is evolving to, it wants to survive.

I doubt there are many people who think there's no risk for children, just that it's relatively very low. People on both sides of the argument who insist in dealing in absolutes are bloody annoying.
