Will it not all just flare up again though after the lockdowns are lifted?

It depends.

If we go on lockdown, and totally destroy the disease, we could see a flare up if the UK sits on its hands in the meantime, and we get someone coming into the republic subsequently, and reintroduces the virus.

If Ireland and Northern Ireland both get rid of the disease (which I think is still manageable) then there could potentially be the possibility of putting in restrictions to try and stop the reintroduction of the disease. China is currently looking at this.

On the plus, we are an island. On the negative, we are really small and massively dependent on our neighbors.

Do as China does, quarantine all visitors from abroad on entry.

It would mean business as usual (mostly) inside Ireland - we'll all have to holiday in Ireland over the summer though :eek:

If there was a shutdown
Anyone who lives rural life and by the coast or near the woods probably have more of a chance staying sane.
Rather than being in suburbs, at least one could have a sneaky walk.

I imagine if on lockdown we could take the car and go for a spin ? We often park at the sea and read a book or just watch the waves . Would that be banned I wonder ?

The society with the biggest risk of social breakdown is the US. Expensive healthcare coupled with high rates of gun ownership and underlying social tensions.

The prison population is over 3 million. An outbreak among inmates, confined in close proximity could overwhelm hospitals.

I'm not sure if you saw my previous post about this, but we actually probably do want it to spread, just more slowly than it has been. Unless the whole world manages to go on complete lockdown for maybe 4 weeks, we are not going to actually stop this outbreak. So it *will* spread, either now or later. So the idea is that we show the spread to allow the hospitals to cope with the % that will need help, all the while building up community immunity to help slow it further.

So you're saying that we're going to have to have coronavirus parties if the numbers dip too low

Huh? What we know for an actual fact.

Absolute inaction will not slow down the outbreak, how many examples of hospitals been over run do you need at his stage?

Herd Immunity is only effective above 50%. That would mean over 2 m people would have to get it and recover from it.

The battle has been well and truly lost if that is the case.

What is it about the Clayton hotel? Several of the previous thread were peppered with stories that it was awash with the afflicted. Think there were even some fake videos doing the rounds as well.

How long before the Dean Koontz book is mentioned again!

Yep. The media blackout is holding.

So pence has made a public statement that politicians will continue to shake hands as trump expects them to do so. What could possibly go wrong with idiots like that in charge...

Yep the latest in bad advice from senior HSE officials and their "scientific advisers".

I have this image of someone returning from their ski trip to Italy and going to the nursing home to tell their mother, father or uncle all about it. If they were dumb enough to go to northern Italy at a time like this you can be sure they are dumb enough to visit a nursing home.

Use your phone to call them FFS.

Are you actually getting het up by an imagined scenario here? Am I really reading these words?

At the very least, more time is beneficial.

More time for retroviral drugs to be developed.

More time for a vaccine to be created.

Staving off an Italian situation is a sensible move.

I’m currently in a Mc Donald’s in a provincial town. Place is empty. Myself and 2 other customers.

There is another one for the deniers.

Think about this how long will it be before places like this start letting people go?

Economic damage will be massive with this thing.

Not very many tests, meaning that they were targeting suspected cases I guess.

I feel so, so sorry for private businesses dependent on discretionary spending at the moment. It must be very frightening and distressing.

It would help if some sort of financial assistance were made available. There should be active discussions about what could be done.

The UK is halting all business rates for the coming year I believe.

That is one scenario.

The use your phone comment is about all visitors. They should use their phone to call instead of putting vulnerable lives at risk.
