    Proceed with extreme caution.

    I would never buy stocks or shares. Feck that, if you make any decent profit 33% tax on gain + brokers fees. Anyway I'm not in that league, nor do I want to be. The tax returns would kill me for starters!

    Might be good for those who can afford to take a hit, and then a profit, but it's not for me. Was just laughing at the fella sorry can't remember his name now, US guy who was all for buying low and selling high. I think he made a mint during our debacle in 2008. Bet he wasn't the only one either.!

    Think it's time claims of new cases need backing up with links from recognised news channels - clayton hotel rubbish has been posted about 12 times in the past hour

    Begs the question then doesn’t it. What can we actually do to stop it?

    Nothing. It's too expenses to shut down global travel. A vaccine or treatment is the best case to hope for. In fact this outbreak will likely down down into summer and flare back up next year around flu season. It's not going to disappear now until its vaccinated out.

    If you're separating your waste properly then that shouldn't really be a huge problem for a few months. Meat and fish waste goes to the pets. If you don't have a cat then you can usually aquire one these days by going outside your back garden with intent. Eggshells vegetation and degradable gets composted. Wash plastic, glass aluminum and use again or store. Flatten and pack down paper as best you can for easier storage. You're not really going to be able to accumulate as much waste if you're not shopping.

    I revoke my earlier statements about "everyone" working from home. It's definitely something to consider for those who can. Those who HAVE to go out would benefit from the quieter streets and there would be less chance of idle transmission of disease.

    I provide essential care for a relative with immunity issues regularly and I fear that going to work will expose me and, in turn, him. I'm weighing up my options quite seriously.

    You lost me when you talked about cats as being a solution to waste meat etc. My one is on a feckin hunger strike because I picked up her usual high quality brand of cat food but not her usual flavour.

    I don't think we can. We can only slow it.

    And that's going to be a massive pain in the gee

    Anyone else getting the group message on the plan to head to the Aviva for the game even if it's cancelled? As a sort of protest/pissup. Apparently lots of Italian fans are planning on coming over. Got it forwarded from a few lads in the club. Would probably be a bit of craic to get dressed in the jerseys and all and head on the beer in slaterrys anyway.

    After reading this thread it’s nice to see someone post up a photo on facebook of a drink on a table in the Clayton Dublin airport hotel looking forward to their trip tomorrow morning to Lanzorote. People in the background all looking relaxed reading papers etc.

    Lock yourselves into the Aviva for three weeks and we will see how many of ye come out alive. Bring much beer.

    I think it's too late. Bet there are flights from N Italy to many places around Europe and beyond now without restrictions.

    That's not the answer readers and posters on here are looking for. If you can't say where you heard this, don't post.
