Mary Lou McDonald on RTE (Today with S.O'R),  was asked would she agree to nordie day trippers being turned back if stopped  by Gardai, should they not be able to provide evidence of just purpose?  Mary Lou replied an emphatic yes, they should be turned back. S.O'R. asked her "was this not being partitionist?"
Apparently having an opinion that there should be a coordinated  cross border response to imposed social movement restrictions, whether legal or voluntary, is perceived in some quarters as partitionist. Not necessarily S.O'R as he was just asking the question.

I'd like to see the meeting minutes from all the SAGE meetings.

If the govt were "following scientific advice", surely they'd have nothing to fear from publishing those minutes.

Following the science came from the same place as Get Brexit done and take back control.

Brexit also took out the broad church of Conservative MP thinking. The likes of Raab, Patel and Johnson are Brexit-diehards and run the show along with Cummings. Meanwhile, experienced MP's like Jeremy Hunt & Sajid David sit on the backbenches, other slike Gauke and Hammond no longer MP's.

Raab is such a condescending p***k with no ability to show empathy. Patel cut from similar cloth.

I hear IBEC and the CBI have written to Leo and ArleneMichelle calling for a co ordinated approach to tackling the Virus and associated matters.
With a Caretaker Government here and the Executive not acting as a single body it will be hard to agree anything.

Germans seem to be putting the breaks on opening up again as the number of new cases has risen in the last 4 days, meanwhile in the states Trump wants to hold election rallies with 25000 people at them

Yes, I saw that. Infections going up.

Might need the vaccine before things open up!!

I think so too. No return back to normality without a vaccine.

Normal has to be redefined really. I don't know we ever go back to normal.

Between viral vector, protein based, nucleic acid and weakened/inactivated virus there are 90 different vaccines being worked on. Gotta hope some come through.

Meanwhile, in Britain, man celebrates birthday.

The Oxford one seems to be the horse a lot are betting on and a new partnership has been struck with one of the big manufacturers.

Or the ones I know, but fella in work showed me a text from his barber saying he was doing house calls. It so selfish, not to mention dangerous. Also noticed a lot more cars on the Ormeau Road last night than there has been in a while, no idea why

I've heard reports of certain establishments opening up on the quiet to trusted....regulars shall we say.

I don't agree with it, but you'd need to have your head in the sand if you think one's out there aren't trying to profit away.

Normal has to be redefined really. I don't know we ever go back to normal.

Could you elaborate on that , what normal things do you think will never return ?
