Might a day or two but yeh the rush will ease off as people calm down. It’s best it happens now rather then when deaths are piling up and people are even more scared. I’m kind of relieved we are at this point cause it’s been obvious for weeks we were going to get here. Also feel very encouraged by how our authority’s are really stepping things up fast. Anybody following this for awhile will recognise we are actually responding well, better then a lot of countries and it actually looks like there is a plan of action taking place. This includes supermarkets and food outlets prepping and planning for weeks so I’m sure they are well stocked up.

I feel very relaxed about this and think that we will all learn quickly to help reduce this spread thanks to Italy and our authority’s proving that they have tried to stay ahead of this.

Also, thank you to our healthcare workers in advance, we all need to get behind them, stop complaining and do our part. Wash your hands, cough/sneeze into a tissue, don’t make appointments that aren’t necessary, learn about social distancing, think before doing things (particularly around older/vulnerable people) , start planning out your day’s (I was chatting with our fitness instructor this morning to do online live feeds). There’s actually loads of things we can do over the coming weeks to turn this into a positive, learn a language , learn things you have put off.

Get out of here with your common sense and positivity!

Nah but seriously I 100% agree with your comments.

They were the canary in the coal mine here and they are good people.

Italy is somewhere I’m still desperate to visit. I spent all of Call Me By Your Name spellbound by Lombardy.

Agreed, not sure why Cheltenham attendees are being described as evildoers by people who've probably themselves gone to non-essential social functions in the last week or so.

I did not call them 'evildoers... the powers that be had not yet said that their travel was dangerous. They just like the rest of us must do what we can to limit the spread of this damned virus.

The retrospectoscope is the most accurate instrument known to man and people have a nasty habit of trying to find scapegoats.

All that solves nothing.

Trying to 'flatten the curve' and reduce spread is all that matters now.

Thermometers are mostly out of stock on Boots.co.uk and Argos not much better.

Dealz have them for €1.50

Anyways, time to close the border? Keep them foreigners out? No wonder the Shinners ain't too keen on a national government all of a sudden

We’ve been on “be ready to work from home” notice for almost two weeks now but still no decision made. I wish they’d just make the call, if nothing else I’ve a pain in my face (and neck and shoulders) lugging my laptop, diary and all my notes in and out every day.

Public transport too.

Well, we finally got the nod. And told to take our keyboards and monitors home with us this evening too. Taxi home on company account for anyone who needs to.

Thanks for your words and support, DrumSteve.
It's not easy to read those words of appreciation towards us in these days.

Rumour from a ****ing idiot is that they are readying the guards and the army to impose a curfew in Limerick. I'm disregarding it as bollocks.

Super Valu delivery is 20 minutes late. Not especially hopeful for it appearing.

Aid To Civil Authorities. It's the same as if they were being geared up to go to flood defences, we're not talking about tooling up to shoot shoppers at Tesco.

Keep calm folks...

I actually checked Booking.com to the hotel I booked in Italy last year. 2019 I paid 2500 for 7 nights in July , July 2020 same hotel is 1100.

Seeing as how it is Limerick, it's probably true!
