Feels like it. Once I saw Temple Bar a week or two back, I knew there just wasn't the national level of self-restraint needed to keep our numbers down. I'd say Leo couldn't wait to put his belongings in a box and get the eff out of that office

We could've done without his grandstanding of announcing we were jumping ahead with lifting it.
Absolutely, got way ahead of ourselves. I find Irish people need to be told in no uncertain terms what to do in situations like this. Any grey area or ambiguous direction results in a sweeping wave of "ah, it'll be grand" across the country

The prevalence study, of over 100,000 people being led by Imperial has been published as a pre-print ( pre-print = not yet peer reviewed ). This study looked at the prevalence of Coronavirus in England during May, and the main things to come out of it are, that during May :-
Interestingly, they found that commercial labs were more likely to declare a sample positive than NHS labs, so they had to adjust their analysis to take that into account. I'm not going to pretend to understand the science behind that, but it does suggest there's a QA issue there.
The pre-print's available at

Here is my one erudite post of the day.
UV light potential to have huge benifit in disinfecting Covid 19. Interesting and may help in indoor environments like schools, hospitals and shops.

Ultraviolet radiation is a strong disinfectant. It may be what our schools, hospitals and airports need
UVC radiation is effective for disinfecting objects and surfaces. It could help manage the coronavirus pandemic and fill gaps in PPE supplies.
