Piss off. I have tried to help people on here and got nothing but abuse. So watch RTE

I am just ignoring my own advice but you wrote a mail as if its I know the cases for tomorrow as if you know the future and when people ask I how do you know you act as if only the few can know so yes people are going to give out. Your not a friend of US2 from a few days ago here

Nothing like a few days of healthy eating to make up for a lifetime of processed foods

Also there are local elections happening over the next 2 upcoming weekends.

Government has been adamant they won't be cancelled / postponed. I am 99% sure they will be.

So far, they have advised voters to bring their own pen to the polls.


As the have not watched how elections in Iran contributed to the sprea.

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?

My DART home was definitely about 15% quieter, unfortunately not included in that 15% was the usual fnckin arseholes sneezing and coughing into their fist/phones. I would be very happy if we could build jails in 5 days for all those pricks

There should now be a national marketing campaign on TV, Radio, YouTube adverts, billboards and the sides of busses, junk mail with a simple message,

STAY THE FCUK AWAY FROM EACH OTHER AND KEEP YOUR HYGIENE STANDARDS HIGH!

Been saying that for weeeks if people are not doing it now nothing bar aresting someone will do it

I have anecdotal evidence from friends in Northern Italy that in the small town they're in (Romano), it seems to be widespread. Many of them believe they've had or have it now.
A number of deaths in the town already, including one of their parents.

Very sorry to hear,

what has happened in China and is happening in Iran and Italy is heartbreaking.

At the end of the day - it's Human cost v economic cost.

Human cost will be low, the economic can take a lot longer to fix and produce a great human cost to boot, that's the balancing act they are working on.

With the current fragile pro-cyclical economic system we have now, yes. There is plenty of money and resources in the world for society to shut down for a period of time.

Perfect job for the guards and the army using megaphones and speakers on their vehicles.

Wondering how many millions this is going to cost the country?

Went into the local shop this evening, got what I needed and out the door in 5 minutes.

Shop local is one of the suggestions I'm hearing.

I suppose living in a rural area near a village with two big shops is an advantage.

The traffic from Limerick to Galway today was almost bumper to bumper after 5.

Some people are probably like bunny rabbits in headlights and panicking because they've never had any problems because they're confident that they will never see a poor day.

Ive always lived week to week self sufficient so its like any other week to me.

But I wouldn't wish this on anyone in the community.

Recovery is still a bit puzzling to me.
Italy has nearly double the positive cases of South Korea: 15 K vs 7.8 K

However in Italy the number of patients recovered is more than triple: 1250 vs 330 in South Korea.
I still wonder why the difference.

In the billions already, 3 billion was the initial amount put aside wasn't it?

Quite a long time. On the UK side they are saying they are 4 weeks behind Italy.

From The Guardian:

However, speaking after Thursday’s emergency Cobra meeting, the government’s chief scientific officer, Sir Patrick Vallance, said the true total was likely to be between 5,000 and 10,000. He said 20 people were being treated for Covid-19 in intensive care units and that the UK was on a trajectory about four weeks behind that of Italy, which has had more than 1,000 deaths.

There seems to be a universal recognition that we've moved beyond containing it to delaying its inevitable peak. I suspect we could be hearing about this for most of the year.

Cheltenham is a f**king drunken gambling festival man. We have one drunk festival already in this country and we shut it down. You think after a heap of pints and lost bets over there every day, the vast majority of the f**king idiots who just line the pockets of bookies over there are going to be washing their hands every hour? If you think there is going to be no problem when these pisswallet's come back next week you are in for some shock, or else you can let a few of them stay in your gaff, for a bit of perspective like.

I thanked your post and am quoting it here solely because of your use of the great word: 'PISSWALLET'S'
