My point is closing the pubs without shutting down public transport is little use. It would be another half ass measure like we have done from the start. Such measures probably only marginally slow the spread of the virus.

So you want rural areas cut off completely because you cant go on the lash? This is really showing how much alco's are in Ireland.


Grow up.

Absolutely, you'll probably get the full VIP treatment if you turn up with the virus now. Anyone thinking strategically will be trying to contract it quickly.

It's only a matter of time before USA is the epicentre, who will Trump blame then? Europe is taking control, which is great to see.
Only problem is if it's a total lock down then how will factories produce what we need if no one is working them.

A few people have questioned my post from earlier where I talked about todays increase in number being due to an acceleration in getting test results back and using a comment that most of today's numbers were from the last 24 hours.

What I said was 100% correct, remember most does not equal all

It'll still be a foreign virus.

You are completely missing the point. Again, the virus doesn’t care about these things

This is why gyms like pubs need to take it upon themselves to close.

The most worrying thing about Covid in Ireland is our lack of ICU beds and ventilators. We have one of the lowest of both per capita in Europe. We only have 250 - 300 in total. 15 - 20% of cases need these. If the number of positive cases goes beyond 1700 we are screwed.

Italy has double our amount. Here is the chart:

This.
Do you think the UK (or France) would accept to take some Irish patients in their hospitals?

And have the courts clogged up with publicans. Yeah, very bright move. What legislation allows Revenue to do that?

Could either of you ever just stop being wrong for like two minutes. I usually don't reply to your posts because they seem like a very poor bait (although I genuinely think there's a good chance you believe what you're saying and in spite of constantly posting here you're still just completely misguided). I'm replying because I REALLY don't want people reading this thread and then thinking it's a great idea to have it now. It's NEVER a great idea to have it, and people should be taking steps to ensure that they don't get it.

What is your problem. For all your "listen to the experts" crap over the last few weeks, you are now actually ignoring the experts when they are saying they are trying to slow down the spread of the virus. Absolutely incredible.

Most people I know are taking it seriously. Why are some people determined to look down on the authorities for not doing enough and general society for not taking it seriously?

It’s the people who aren’t taking it seriously is the problem. Gangs of kids getting buses places etc, people heading to pubs is madness

Thelonious Monk

Well the rest of my family are in lockdown abroad and I don't know when I'll see them again, freaking me out a bit now, they live in Spain and Malta and it's not looking good in either place, so I'm gonna get tanked on my homebrew on the couch now. In the Mad Max society that'll reign shortly, they might keep me alive as I can brew decent stuff, all I need is sugar and yeast and water really, the rest is superfluous!

Seriously. At a time of crisis, are people in this country that ****ing hooked on the gargle that they can't stay out of the pubs for two to three weeks?

They'll be the first to crack when it's no longer available.

France locking down pubs restaurants from midnight. We will have more restrictions soon. I think by Monday at the latest.

Sure look it, if your feeling under the weather your not going to go to the pub anyway. Simple really.

My two jobs have been shut down for the time period advised by the government. No way am I sealing myself indoors for two whole weeks, unless the government intervene in the meantime.

No they are based off current case numbers and official population numbers, its very simple maths really....

Has to happen before Tuesday. If we let the pubs get crammed out the door on Paddy's Day then might as well open the schools as well.

Cilldara_2000

Dr Holohan having a go at pub goers indicates that they will issue an order for them all to close. Full lock down looking increasingly to happen within the next two days. Perhaps they're trying to persuade Arlene to do the same and that might explain why it hasn't been implemented yet.
