Could this not harm us more, we might get a lot more people from Europe coming to Ireland to fly to the USA now or am I missing something? A lot of airlines going to hit the wall here and a lot of jobs at risk.

The US restriction prohibits anyone flying who was in the schengen area in the last 14 days regardless of where they're flying out from. So they can't just travel to Dublin and on to the US without waiting 2 weeks first.

Crèches should double their prices because of the risk and extra work load.

They are classed as childcare facilities, no?

They will be closed.

Is there legislation for this?

What happens to:

• Weddings
• Gigs in 3 Arena
• Mass

Nope, they'll be simply asked at Dub Airport are they feeling alright and to wash their hands AFAIK.

Obviously im not expert but surely this will still be around on the 29th of march , I reckon for months ,

Will the kids at home not be in more contact with different adults than they would be on a school day ,
Lets face it they all won't be kept in ,
So then when they go back on the 29th will they not be super spreaders ?

It flattens out the curve allowing less strain on services

"During a Feb. 28, 2020, campaign rally in South Carolina, President Donald Trump likened the Democrats' criticism of his administration's response to the new coronavirus outbreak to their efforts to impeach him, saying "this is their new hoax." During the speech he also seemed to downplay the severity of the outbreak, comparing it to the common flu."

It'll go beyond the 29th until after Easter holidays at the earliest. This is just the initial measure

I think he should've gone a bit further with the remote working stuff. He only said that companies that have the capacity for it *should* do it, could've been worded a lot stronger. I know for a fact my company won't even though it's incredibly easy for us to do so. We're already doing a trial run today.

So this goes for China and now Ireland. Closures and halting normal function only works if you can do it for a prolonged period. So are we good to have no school until next September?

They need to set up a website for remote learning for these kids.

I know it's necessary and frankly, for me and my son, it actually is going to be quite nice. I've been preparing for this for some time and have a range of great at home activities planned for the next while. I have been hoping for this to happen and believe it's a positive step given what we are facing, albeit possibly a week too late. But I guess it actually happening is still a horrible shock. I can't imagine what it's like for people who've been going through life blithely ignorant for the last few weeks.

Last night I started inputting the numbers for the top european countries into an excel sheet and doing it day by day. Just the new cases and it's a wake up call to see just how bad it it.
We need to stop the spread especially if don't want to european numbers

People need to realise they won't be back on the 29th.

Two weeks off, back for a week then two weeks off for Easter?

Way, way more likely that they are still mitigating panic, and that as we get closer to the 29th, they'll announce schools will stay off for the week between the "return" and Easter, and stay shut for the five weeks.

I can't see them opening on the 29th. They are preparing us for a much longer shutdown.

Exactly, our government was slow to start but have been excellent at ramping things up. I’ve been following this for months and I’m very encouraged by how they are trying to handle this.

I wonder will the UK follow suit now as well, or will they leave schools in Northern Ireland open?

It still hasn't hit home what is happening.

Then again I have read way too much dystopian science fiction, so maybe I am a bit desensitised :pac:

Tom Hanks and wife got it now. No typical symptoms.

Maybe you want to volunteer your services at the front line somewhere then, if it's all over the top and much ado about nothing.

If you're concerned about this, sign this petition to try and convince the government to go further.

Its incredible, really.

You see the shutting down of countries, suspensions of sporting leagues, and there's still arm chair experts going "Ah, its all grand."

Ireland has ALWAYS had this problem. You see it every time there's a storm, and there's people on boards and Reddit getting into arguements with actual experts, as if their opinion holds more value. Its insane and this is where it bites them in the ass now.

They'll be the same ones next week asking why did no one warn them :P
