Of the first 350 cases 62 are in Cork, most likely quite a few people walking around asympomatic I'd say,

62 of 191 additional cases of COVID19 confirmed in Cork - Source RedFM

I assume with more test centres and kits, numbers will rise with more being tested

Thats wrong, its 62 of the first 350 cases as was said in the Brief today and the posting later on.

But yeah, cases are gonna rise a lot I would say with the testing going to increase. Heres to hoping it doesn't increase too much.

I don’t see how Debenhams survives this. They were on their arse to begin with.

Nope, just that 7 of the 350 are. Would be nice to get more details alright but I suppose this is a lot better then the original "south of the country" stuff

Name and shame, by all means, but I don't think they are actually breaking any law. I suspect they will bring in emergency legislation to deal with these scum.

Again, there needs to be a law in place to do this.
At the moment, bars are closed under advice from the government.
I'm not condoning pubs defying this advice but talk of fines and taking licences is just silly talk as no law has been broken.

I do think these bars should be named and shamed.

Agree totally, also I can't fathom why ppl can't supervise their kids ref dragging them into shopping centres,and out walking letting them do as they want,don't get me started on gangs of teens congregating around Carrigaline ,it's fuc*ing grossly irresponsible parenting,PS I'm not a grumpy drawer's and am a dad/ grandad but a responsible one

I agree with you to a point but its not silly talk. Its blatant and gross negligence of the highest order and I don't think there needs to be a specific law that they are supposed to break before someone should come down hard on these dirtbags.

Its exactly this type of (era sure it'll be grand, have a pint and a sing song) attitude that is going to cause this surge that Varadkar was talking about.

People still aren't taking this seriously. I honestly find it baffling.

Can Dettol kill the CV? It says on it that it kills 99.9% of bacteria but I take it that it also kills some/all viruses too?

It doesn't really matter what you think. The law is the law - we can't just throw it away as we feel like - emergency measures need to be enacted.

I totally agree with you on all the other points - we shouldn't need laws for these people to comply - but it appears that we do.

Yes, it is mind boggling how some people just aren't taking it seriously.

Are we going down this path of silliness? Thinking is having an opinion. If you want to go with that logic you could reply to every single post here offering an opinion with ah sure it doesn't matter what you think. Its a non statement.

I agree yes we have to operate within the law but they (the pub owners) clearly don't give 2 ****s about any laws or the well being of the dummies sneaking in for pints.

Anyway. The sooner these emergency laws are introduced the better. If people here think its restrictive living they should take a look at the current situation in Italy. Authorities are basically ordering people on the street not to group together. And more.

Any reason why these pubs can't be named?

I'm sure the public will remember their great civic mindedness after this is over.

Coronavirus is mentioned on Dettol packaging but not sure drinking helps the lungs dip hands and gloves into dish of diluted Dettol

Dettol claims to kill Corona Viruses but this was tested on previous viruses this one is a new Corona virus so not proven, yet. Probably will kill it.

All bunched up despite government warnings,had to actually tell them to move away from me by at least 2 m,no joy ,such a feckless bunch of cretins ,if it was teenagers it would be disappointing but ppl same age as me ( over 60) it was inexcusable, people are just not listening or taking this 😡 virus seriously

Again today at St Michaels cemetery I had to act6wave directly to a family,kid 13 ish,
First question from the silly dad," what's he on about"?
Lady copped on and told the teen to move away from me,
Asked her Mammy why should I move?
Obviously stupid people all over not even educating their children

Idiot behind me in queue in Lidl a few days ago literally a foot away. I politely asked him to step back. We're at the mercy of some seriously stupid people out there. I was there to get some necessities and get the hell out fast.

Earlier today drove past a group of 10 or 12 people (probably teenagers) clearly not giving two ****s about the advice.

The LE Eithne arrived in the harbour this morning, presumably to act as a testing centre. The centre at Pairc Ui Chaoimh is also up & running as I was passing that neck of the woods at lunchtime.

Unless you’re a microbiologist, you really should keep your non-expert opinion to yourself per the advice of the government.

Silly stupid stuff

The father who's hitting 80 has stopped going to the local shop, Supervalu on the Skehard road as there is just no way of social distancing there. Most shops such as Aldi have removed a lot of the junk close to the checkouts to give people loads of room to check out at a good distance but SV is awful. They have these big fridges funneling people into a narrow walkway by the checkouts so if someone is at the first till you actually have to brush past them to get to the other 4. And between the last checkout by the door and people stopping to use sanitizer at the entrance you can't pass without being very close to people.
Pity as there are loads of old people in the area with little option but to go there.
If shops aren't willing to make an effort they should forced to only allow a few people in at a time.

Just be aware that JJ's has had to introduce a minimum order for home delivery, which is fair enough under the circumstances. It's €30 IIRC.

Specsavers Opera Lane are closing Wednesday, they don't know when they'll reopen. Presume their other branches will do the same, not sure. I stocked up on a 5 month supply of contact lens today, hopefully that'll see me through this!

Same in Ballyvolane too. Has been since Saturday. You can go straight through if you need drapery, but for the supermarket, you have to queue.
