    That scenario is highly likely. Four weeks could easily turn into four months. In such a case the restrictions would probably be eased to prevent societal issues.

    How is that scenario highly likely? Do you understand what a lockdown is?

    Multiple times in every thread there has been a rumor of a lockdown/hazmat suits/mass infection in various Clayton Hotels, it’s quite funny at this stage. :)

    Whatever happened to the Drogheda 3? Did they ever make it into the official figures?

    Surely the UK is too late. Honestly, Italy seemed to be stopping mass gatherings ages ago. There is no way someone in England hasn’t has the virus since around February.

    Like did Italy hold anything like Cheltenham since the virus began to spread at the rate is has. I wouldn’t think so.

    Yes carnival in Venice, for one, was only cut short by a day when cases absolutely skyrocketed. I'm sure many others

    1. He is wrong, it was 150€ for 50 masks, not ten. So three quite a mask.

    2. In defense of business like this, they probably had to pay more to get them from their suppliers. It’s not that they would still be paying the same themselves too. So their cost goes up, and that gets passed on to customers, sadly.

    Where are people seeing a second death today? Can't find anything on it. Or is it more made up stuff.

    Yes, but this isn’t China. We don’t have enough guards and soldiers to police it.

    i think people are right to be alarmed and the only way this can be contained now is an aggresive lockdown like what the chinese done...the real number of cases is prob in the thousands here and the problem is going to be the hospitals and how they cope when it does multiply...how we deal with it in the coming days is going to affect the overall death rate...the more overwhelmed the hospitals are the higher the death rate will be...italy is struggling because they didnt put their lockdown in early enough...i know theres a tendacy to overblow things sometimes but this is the real deal and we should be fighting it aggresivly so that people with respitary problems,diabetes ect are not left to die in overcrowded hospitals

    WHO said earlier that each country reacts depending on circumstances. If the country is asked to self isolate too early people will get bored and not pay heed to it too early. I feel travel restrictions could have been put in place earlier to delay it. Be delaying it could mean treatment breakthroughs could be used. I also think shops should be limiting supply of items such as hand sanitiser, face masks etc. There could be legislation passed to prohibit shops from charging crazy prices

    So suppliers are charging pharmacies €1.62 per mask so when you add vat and full markup it comes to €149.00 so it’s actually correct , a single mask would be 2.98 each retail

    My apologies, I meant to write 50, not 10. My bad!

    I still think that price is outrageous. What was the price before this outbreak in fairness?

    Maybe the HSE brought them to a secret facility to run all kinds of crazy tests on them... But they'll be in tommorows figures... Just you wait

    So what... wait until a few people die, then try to stop it from spreading?

    If we had people from the government trying to emphasize how important it was and people making unhelpful and ignorant comments online suggesting it's not that bad should have them deleted.

    It's not like it was a fat fingered typo, you'd have ran with it had it not been pulled up.
