Sure did you see last weekend? Barbeques. Packed beaches. Parks. 10+ around to family home. Do u think this virus is gone? What you expect. The cases will shoot back up plus deaths when restrictions eased further now. How would they not go back up with 2nd wave! Virus ain't gone

Listen to the so called health experts people cry 😂

Now get rte investigates to find out the origin.

could it also be related to where the recent outbreaks have been-if its meat factory workers who all share a house or a lift to work they will have a larger number of close contacts compared to say a nursing home resident

Stop dampening data that is clearly Showing the virus is all but eliminated by stating bullshit close contact stats. Close contacts of nothing is still nothing. Your media coverage has been shameful to date. You ignore the nursing home scandal. Government PR media outlet.

At the peak our daily infections were over 1000 now they are down to 30..No country had a 2nd wave apart from Iran....

Expected but worrying

Isn’t that the object of the reopening? Of course the experiment must include more interactions. Pointless headline.

Risky business

What part do mass protest gatherings play in containing or accelerating the spread?
