Just a crying shame that people and countries in “civilized” society’s won’t make the sacrifices now to help you guys. Good luck over the next few months.

To be fair picking up a mop and going in to clean a ward or going in to cook a meal in a hospital will also be an act of courage for a lot of people a couple of weeks from now.

Lots of people will be putting themselves on the line for the greater good, not just doctors and nurses.

Surely the parade in Dublin can't go ahead now. With the news from another poster saying there is an outbreak in drogheda hospital it surely has to be cancelled

If we went by social media/rumors, there are probably 7 million cases in Ireland!

Lol, you're the broken record.

Let's hope dumbass posts like yours above are less in the next thread eh?

Look you're both right.

If Europe wants to contain it (it doesn't but let's ignore that for the moment) it needs to get rid of local clusters and stop the spread from country to country. No point getting rid of your own cases if you import a batch of news ones.

There's no point.. really.. in Ireland getting rid of its cases if the UK becomes overrun with the disease. Think about it.

It is an entirely interconnected problem, and the governments failing to address that is what has got us into this position in the first place.

You need to make hard decisions early on to not have to make harder ones later.

Thank you for your reply .
And do we know if this is already in place or have they given a deadline for it to start ?
I’m presuming there are Italians in Ireland at present that were due to go to the rugby and some travelled anyway , presuming they are from the lockdown area (most likely they are as rugby is typically followed predominately in norther Italy ) will those Italians be allowed fly back to Italy now or are they stuck here with us for the foreseeable ?

This is effective as of today. In the initial red zones they had the army manning the checkpoints, blocking access. You needed a document issued by the Courts to allow you in or out (e.g. to deliver supplies). Think of this as Berlin when the Wall went up.

Problem is they move so quickly and I may head out stocking up on bog roll to get back to find we're 1k over

Anyway, I've given fair warning this time:pac:
