As an English guy... I'd just like to congratulate you all for living in a country with a government that can see sense and puts its people first.

Here, all of the chat I'm hearing is about the damage isolation will do to the economy.

Funny, because you didn't seem to give a damn about your economy for the last four years

Honestly anyone coming back from Cheltenham should be bused down to the Curragh for two weeks of enforced quarentine.

Gormonstown and Kilbride barracks will be the quarantine zones.

Fair play to Leo. Spot on decision. I just hope the experts in here who think this just a bit of a flu aren't in important decision making roles in their jobs

He was only following EU CDC suit, he had no choice.

Mr.Wemmick

Just heard that all major companies in Zurich are having pandemic meetings today. Quite a bit of talk that the country will be put on lock down shortly.

The sooner all countries do it, the safer we will be.

He spoke very well. He only reiterated everything leo said but he spoke far better.

Edit: I'm not bashing leo... Just saying Coveney did a great job there

Can't stand Leo, and wouldn't vote for FG in a fit.

But Coveney absolutely is someone who I respect. He's very well spoken and actually has the air of a leader off him.

A little perspective on the numbers. these are just new cases every day lists with the totals at the bottom. Ignore sweden switzerland they still need to be done.

We do not want those numbers from the continent

That resolution hurts my eyes. Do you have larger picture with more clarity?

I'm actually relieved today.

I thought I was having a mental breakdown 3 weeks ago when I was stocking up, but it turns out I was not that mad.

Even doing this today will save an untold number of lives in the long run.

Now, what they need to do, is implement quarantines and tests on everyone coming into the country.

No point in doing this and not stopping sick people coming in.

Coveney saying "I'm a father, a husband and a son too" really hit me, in fairness he spoke well.

He’s a great speaker I like him a lot. The kind of person you want to hear from in a crisis

Does it matter? Do people go to school after 6pm?

Its not though. All institutions mentioned close at 6pm and dont open again until 29th March.

If you say they dont open tomorrow, then what time do they stay open until tonight?

They wont be open tomorrow anyway, so whats the issue.

Yeah, The Cove is one of the few politicians you can take seriously.

He's a class act, from watching him on Brexit I am glad he is heavily involved here.

We need good leadership, but we need better followship (is that a word?)

The public - all of us - need to do their best for the greater good now, the govt. can only advise, it's up to the individual to do what's best.

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

In fairness, people have been poo poo-ing the experts from both directions - some questioning them when they are being moderate.

Look better late than never. Some of us were calling for this 2 weeks ago.

Ideally we'd close the airports and ports but we shall wait and see. I reckon 6pm announcement for new cases will be a big one considering all these measures.

They're obviously open today, kids are in them right now.


They close this evening and don't open tomorrow.


No confusion about it.

I've been reading Deadliest Enemy: Our War Against Killer Germs by Michael T. Osterholm, the two chapters which relate to SARS & MERS and Influenza vaccines are particularly insightful.
