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.

Off with you, sounds like coronavirus is the least of your worries.

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

The press briefing guy sitting on the left explicitly said there is a delay from receipt of tests of 48-92hrs.

What if you're feeling grand but speading the virus asymptomatically?

Very difficult to determine how accurate those stats are. Given how little testing has taken place in the UK, US and Ireland.

I think the US and UK are being particularly laissez faire.

Edit: US are upping their game in the last 2 days.

Well done on being part of the problem. When they close pubs and everything else hopefully you will get the message and understand how serious this is.

This thing is going to explode here shortly because for every panic buyer that'll stock up and shut themselves in where possible you have 10 arseholes just doing what they always do and not giving two fcuks about consequences.

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.

20-30% lung fuction loss is horriffic

If people test outside of hospital, yes. In a hospital setting 12-24 hours.

Sure we are ****ed whatever we do, I'm not sure why we are blaming younger people from cramming into pubs, it's all the older generation who are most at risk who are packing out these pubs.

They are a social outlet and we shouldn't be completely hiding away. The issue with pubs is not that they are open but that social distancing is not being observed properly.

Eh work is open and you are in close contact with people. I work in a building which has multiple businesses, lifts, stairs doors.

FYI - BBC is reporting France is going into lock down by order of the President.

Are pubs not indoors? Nobody’s stopping you going for a walk, like people are literally dying of this. A few weeks or months of a bit of hardship VS potentially months or years of chaos.

The sooner we have the army out keeping people where they should be the better.

take everything

Kind of a pathetic indictment of our culture that pubs remain open yet schools and universities have closed (which i agree with incidentally).

i mean i've made the small sacrifice to forgo my regular coffee in a local restaurant. Cant pub-goers do the same or do many of these people just have a pathetic addiction to alcohol.

One of the differences between here and the Asian countries who seem to be getting on top of it.

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

Emergency measure in the interest of public health could be passed very quickly

I’d say our numbers will be much higher as testing increases.
A lot of people walking around with the virus and not knowing they have it yet.
Probably infecting others too.

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.

Well its going to have to be an all Ireland full lockdown now imo or else whats the point?

It depends. If it's South Korea, pretty certain they are accurate.

How could Italy record accurately given the state of their health service presently? Staff would be diverted to the most critical cases.

The UK have recently stopped testing cases that are only showing mild symptoms, which is bound to make their numbers look better.

1-2m distance from people, don't put your hands on your face, wash hands properly and regularly all work as precautions.

If we close the pubs and the north don’t. People will be going to the north to celebrate st Patrick’s day.
