They have a massive distribution centre, there's no issues yet.

There is every possibility that with the spreading trend, there will be a cluster associated with a supply chain eg a distribution centre/warehouse with workers/truck drivers infected and the place has to shut down.... what will happen then?

We are being reactive. We could have acted last weekend but didnt cause of the poxy economy.

I agree with you, but tell that to Tourism Ireland, the Hotel Association and so on.

Dr Holohan also said at the press conference that in effect school closures are open ended.

Could be closed well beyond the end of March.

That's a given really with more restrictions to come I imagine.

2 weeks is just getting us used to it and trying not to cause complete panic.

My advice is get online tonight and check the opening times of shops near you,some bound to open at 7am, get there opening time in the morning and get some supplies, in and out in 10 minutes, this alone with take one worry of your mind, If you have to work, go in late, tell him the alarm did not go off.

You have to take responsibility for yourself, if the SHTF as bad as we fear, it will be a hard few months ahead for us all, try make it as easy as possible.
The best that can happen is you can stay at home safe during a lock down, the worst is you have plenty of long life food that you will eat in the coming year, in other word there is no down side to getting in some supplies

That was me today, I had to get veggie stuff which sold out everywhere, was in and out in 15 minutes and it was at around 11.15am so just as the announcement was made. I used the self service desk to minimise any other exposure.

Luckily had done a big shop yesterday. Will be hitting up my local Maxol for milk and bread when needed so as to avoid the large shops. And doing either a late night or early morning shop for other things like fresh veg and fruit.

Are many people still going into their office because their company won't yet let them work from home, despite having the capabilities to do so?

Turkey is an odd one; they have a huge diaspora that is well-connected with the home country and are relatively wealthy considering the region. Istanbul is also a very densely populated mega-city perfect for mass community transmission. I would have thought they'd be riddled by now.

Aren't they testing everyone's temperature at point of entry to the country?

F**king laughable horse$hit. "Willie Mullins prime filly has joined the pantheon of greats" WTF 'Pantheon of greats'?? they are f**king horses like, how many 'Pantheon of great donkeys' are remembered from the Circus Maximus back when it was up and running and the jockey's there were leathering the arse out of those horses.

Why this horse racing bull$hit is so raised up on a pedestal in this country only f**k knows.

Let the 20,000 that went over there last week go stay in Willie Mullins sheds next week for the next month. Pantheon of f**king mongs

So if someone living and working here from the EU was away on a holiday with an Irish passport holder, we only let one of them back in?

27 new cases

3 in intensive care

Judging by this blokes study that means there is probably 1,500 to 2,000 unconfirmed cases around the country. The 70 representing what the authorities know in the red section and the figures they don't know in the grey section.

Anyone still in doubt would have got a bit of a sharp sobering up, after the uk's statement earlier.

They really didn't waltz around the figures, BoJo cut to the chase in an unusual straight talking manner.

Not just Restaurants though, there are many other services, businesses, self employed, going to take a hit. It seems the restaurant lobby are mobilising to be first in line for hand outs from the government. Vintners won't be far behind.

The panic over food supplies is going to make this situation worse. People stockpiling while others who can't afford to go short. Very selfish.

Plus too many people on top of each other in Supermarkets

I can and already do regularly WFH. Did so today and will again tomorrow...

And next week...

And the week after...

But I'm very lucky that I have a job that I can do pretty much from anywhere if I have a phone, laptop and internet. Not everyone has that option.

It can't happen like that.
The truck drivers don't even come into contact with the distribution centre workers in most places.
Intercom at the gate,keys paperwork in a letter box on the loading bay,wait for your green light and you're loaded then grab your keys and paperwork and away you go.
Also there isn't just 1 or 2 haulers operating in the centres there is 100s.

Wonder would a forum in work and jobs be good for this?

Got the go ahead today to work from home for the foreseeable future.

This is mad. And the ante is just going to keep increasing day in day out. I’m trying not to panic but I have this weird energy inside me all day, like I should be doing something. Can’t explain it but I know others will know the feeling. Where will it all end up. Will be sitting on mh hole now for the foreseeable like it or lump it

The shops will be restocked. There is no issue with supply.

There’ll probably be another “run” tomorrow, unfortunately you can’t legislate for stupidity. If you need anything urgently you can join in the “fun” or else wait a day when the shelves are full again.

I'd imagine everyone else has the same idea. Not trying to knock it or anything. Woman in work went to her local tesco this morning before work and car park was packed with people waiting for it to open, lining up with trolleys. All she wanted was a coffee so she just left.

Hong Kong gave full detail on the age of each case, gender, the building of origin etc. Currently they have less active cases than we do. Of course, there's also a cultural acceptance to wear masks in public which helps.

They also impose 14 days quarantine requirement for any visitors from infected countries, now including Italy, parts of France and Germany.

A friend messaged me from Hong Kong asd asked if she should send me some masks!
