Yes.   +191 today. Not good.

Funny how during Foot & Mouth - there was common practices/rules  North
& South (e.g. strict disinfection routine at airports and at entrances
to all offices)  - this time no commonality.

It looks like main (but not only) source was half term holidays with
lots of ski trips (school, family, individuals) to N. Italy which may
explain the profile.

Unfortunately even as schools closed last Fri - lots of social media
video showed packed bars & house parties on Sat & Sun as this was a
"holiday" weekend with Tues (St. Patrick's day) public holiday - this is
probably giving the burst of "community transmission". Since Mon,  pubs,
bars (even in hotels, golf clubs etc ) and many restaurants & cafes are
now voluntarily closed. Some department stores (e.g. Penneys) have
closed.

Although large shops had the panic buying - many small shops are OK and
shops have introduced measures limiting number in shop, queue separation
etc. 

It'll be interesting to see if some of the tech shifts will stick after
the crisis is over
- most places will not accept cash, all contactless  - limit has been
upped from €30 to €50
- lots of remote working.  Lots of offices are internet tech or
financial companies and office blocks are clearly empty.

During Foot & Mouth there was a lot of video conferencing rather than
take flights but because tech really wasn't reliable / mature, travel
took over again.  This time around networks are standing up to strain -
so far.
