Thankfully Leo and Co have the EU CDC advise to follow.

I sincerely hope Leo believes in his words this morning because we are going to need to do a lot more very soon.

This is just the start but I am thankful we've at least started.

The UK are truly fcuked listening to Boris today.

At the end of the day Boris is a highly educated leader of one of the world’s major nations and you are a keyboard loon who probably works the dullest job of all time.


How dat feel?

Business as usual was the message in work today despite the government's recommendations.

At least I'll be able to leave the house later then usual roads should be fairly quiet (I hope).

A busy commuter bus from Dublin to Meath had three people on it at 18:30 that's unheard of.

Anyone else notice any big changes apart from the carnage in shops?

Sigh, this kind of logic makes me sad.
Such resentful bitterness.

Massive changes. Massive numbers will work from home tomorrow.
Most businesses will take significant hits in coming weeks. I expect layouts accros the country soon.

Seems it doesn't matter how many times people are told not to stockpile (by the media and retailers through social media) people are still doing it.

Gym chains (Ben Dunne and Flyfit) emailing saying they are closed until 29/3.

Some odd looking van/ambulance thing and two army vehicles passed through Thomastown, Kilkenny about 15 minutes ago

Better be laid off than laid out.
We’ll adapt and we’ll get through it somehow

Went out for a few pints last night. Small pub in city centre. Absolutely hopping for a Wednesday night.

Seems a lot of people are loading up on bread, biscuits and factory farmed chicken. Gowls.

OK Macron has now finished his address and there are no significant measures adopted in France, with the exception of:
school closure from next Monday and inviting the elderly and those with pathologies to stay home.
That with 2900 cases and 61 victims.
I can not see how these watered down measures can possibly flatten the curve.

France has taken the position that there was never anything that could be done.

I am flabergasted at how fatalistic the UK, France, and Germany have been since the start of this. If they had just stopped flights from China, Europe would likely be virus free. Anyway, spilled milk. I believe that the virus could still be beaten in Europe altogether provided that there was heavy, coordinated effort.

Ireland took a really criminally lackadaisical approach in relation to fking skiing trips, and is going to pay the price. However the government's determination to arrest the spread should pay dividends.

Unless you shut down everything there is no point in closing schools. If anything there are going drag on the misery longer for people.

They’ve obviously been advised to shut things down in stages.

I can't be the only one who sees a flaw with stockpiling bread and meat... :rolleyes:

This sort of thing is going to have to be knocked on the head if we are going to get serious about this.

There was an Italian woman on Euronews the other day crying how people were still going on the pistes 'how can they be so selfish?'. Italy has now climbed to over 1000 dead.

The bread isn't going to disappear. What do people think this is? Snow?

The virus doesn't affect vehicles. It isn't in beer. The only Chinese food that it's in feature pangolin quills.

There is no determination, there never has been. Don’t fall for the propaganda. This is not a proper shutdown.

A regular freezer won't take many chickens and loaves of bread. My freezer is always full already after every shop.

Globalisation. There was hardly any probability this wouldn’t have got through eventually they way it’s spread, which nobody could have foreseen.

The increase between yesterday and today was 62%

Hopefully that's an anomaly because if that rate keeps up, you're looking at 6,000 cases by the end of next week and ICU beds already totally exhausted.

We'll get to a stage where only the very sick or elderly will be going to a hospital.
Secondly - you would be naïve to think that the numbers aren't higher, for example those 27 "new cases" more than likely had the virus yesterday and the day before.

Realistically there are probably 200+ cases at the moment, but it's not affecting people much

No word from my gym yet. 24 hour and I usually go around 2am when it is empty so I think I will continue if they don't decide to close...

under 60's with no health conditions only getting the ventilators in Italy. if it gets worse, they will lower the age.

others are just being basically told to go die

Italy has the 2nd best health care system in the world

how many ventilators are in Ireland?

3,000 in Italy

As someone who speaks Italian, this scares the **** out of me. The translation doesn't do justice to the anxiety and nervousness in their voices.

I'm hoping he got no business . Loads were stolen from a cancer ward earlier in the week . If this is the case or any kind of anti social **** goes on with the local runts now they aren't pissing away their school time it needs stamping on immediately. Straight to oberstown court when it's all over.
