Thats elder abuse. As a son of a healthy 92 yr old mother shame on you. You are pathetic.

Elderly people have a right to shop for their essential items too.

I thought it was patronizing to the women if I’m honest. She’s just doing her shopping. Maybe she got what she needs.

Am I going mad or did I read on here earlier that a 2nd death was announced? I can't find the story in the news

God that’s mad this article definitely originally had the second death in the title

What they don't realise is that it is absolutely in the company's interest that anyone who can work from home does so. It mitigates the risk of any of ye catching the virus and shutting down the workplace entirely, which is a real risk.

Very good point.

I mean 200 people side by side at desks, sharing 1 canteen with 4 toilets. We are bound to have at least 1 person contract it and it will spread like wildfire.

WTH with the media not disclosing the specific location of people positive with the virus and yet when the person dies they will disclose it. The first person who passed away was admitted in Naas General Hospital.

Well they were in a hospital I thought she was in the Mater. What difference would it make you should be doing the same things regardless

27 cases today alone, surely it cant get higher than this in a 24 hour period considering we live in such a small country..and with schools ect closed hopefully that will slow the rate of spreading

Im afraid it wont. It could be a week or more before we see if the closures make a difference

I'd expect 100+ new cases a day this time next week.

They are telling us not to panic but etc that there is plenty of stock, where is all the sanitiser? The antibacterial soap? Dettol etc that we can’t get?

Unused and stockpiled in someone else's house.

After today's panic shopping crowds gathering together in supermarkets I've lost hope that we can handle this without the force of law.

I think a full blown lockdown is not only necessary now but inevitable.

Not sure if I'm on the right thread. All indoor mass gatherings of more than 100 should be cancelled, I'm due to fly out on Thursday 19th to Portugal is waiting to board and then sitting for two and a half hours fall into a situation that should be cancelled. Don't really want to put myself or my wife's health at risk any advice from boards community.

Can't justify that your employer. The morale will be terrible and imagine if someone who could work remote infected everyone.

I think a lot of employers won't get it until it hits closer to home sadly.

I think a lot of employees will find their reputation takes a battering from employees that they treat like this. When sh1ts over they'll see employees walk

Not to mention living from one weeks pension to the next.

Some irony people who "stock piled" now openly mocking those "panic buying".

Good call, fair play and prompt too. Hopefully Tesco, Supervalu and others follow suit(maybe they have?). That should hopefully stem the tide of the panic buyers after the hysteria of today.

No they weren't, they were in a hospital in a Dublin.

People need to start getting facts right and stop spreading fake news which seems to be more contagious and harmful to society than the virus itself.

When you ring up the HSE they ask for your location. I rang to be sure and they told me I had many of the symptoms but just to keep Ana eye on it. Strangely they insist on asking if you were in one of the affected areas. Didn’t ask my age. Nice and pleasant lady.

Im sure this has been said before but I genuinely feel the UK Gov has done the right thing.

End.

They need to tell people it's because the hospitals couldn't cope if it gets out of hand.

The medical staff need the public to help and do their bit too.

Many people think ah sure if I catch it its only the flu.

And are just acting as usual.

That's true but it's about vulnerable people in hospitals when beds are scarce.

BT CEO Philip Jansen tests positive for coronavirus

Mr Jansen said in a statement: "Having felt slightly unwell I decided as a precaution to be tested.

"As soon as the test results were known I isolated myself at home."

so given all the trouble this is causing, he only waited until the result was known until he isolated himself.

What’s a full blown lockdown though? This ain’t China!

Even in Italy people can walk around?

In their houses they can ya. No travel without emergency.

Why should we be told?

Scum would target those people just like the fucwit that targeted an Asian girl in a supermarket recently.

You need to know we have a huge number of scum in this country - just think back to the types who threatened people during water charges protests.

As for the person passing away. She was elderly, and very ill. Without being crass, this seems to have just sped her passing by a few weeks.
