We may have to put men on the border, temporarily, if this British strategy goes ahead.

I'd be interested in how the lockdown operates in rural areas?

Will it just be tractors with slurry spreaders and milk tankers on the road? Wouod going out for a cycle be allowed?

Would marts be held?

Maybe checkpoints on the way into towns, and show that your going to supermarket?

farmers have to feed their livestock so they'll be out and about and agri stores will have to remain open to some level to supply said feed...
also tractors will have to get out to plant veg soon

For all the ones giving out about the pubs...

https://www.dublinairport.com/flight-information/live-arrivals

Metal tube full of folks coming in from all over the place including hotspots. Not just tonight, but all day every day for the last month since we found out about Coronavirus.

The pubs at least will be largely empty for most of the week. They'll all be congregating in the Tesco isles looking for bog roll then.

The amount of "holier than thou" looking down their noses at a small crowd in the pub is ridiculous.

Closing the pubs is a kin to locking the stable door after the horse has bolted.

How did that happen? Seriously

Where are the bloody controls.

It's about the need to self isolate for 14 days which could collapse the service.
.ICU is been prioritised and staff are been trained up to cover it. Again. Important to minimise spread at this time.

The extreme centrist is just as intellectually bereft and irrational as the two types you've just mentioned, you're still taking your cues from others. Why not try actually looking at the facts and make up your own mind.

Yeah, well there is a far, far bigger issue at hand right now than people's expectation of being able to have a few cans with the lads or some pints.

Some people just don't get it. They may not suffer any consequence, but someone will because of the absolute ignorance of them.



A few staff from a local school have gone off to Spain for the weekend (majority pulled out of trip) and have been sending pics of their great time to colleagues. Cretins, everyone. I hope they're kept over there, shunted into some cheap hotel and told to not move for 2 weeks.

We are looking at a worse case scenario of 50% of all healthcare workers been out of work due to contact with patients with coronavirus in the next week. Things are bad.

Scaremongering again. Did you not get banned for this already.

So the news is mentioning people packing out pubs.

I think its time the government did the decent thing and order non essential businesses to close, because we are lacking personal responsibility in the country.

That's never going to happen.
For a start do you know how many people would be needed and the kind of infrastructure to be put in place?!

I kind of agree but the problem is that somewhere in the middle is some way in excess of the capacity of the health service to deal with.The ~277 ICU beds number seems to be accepted as genuine. I have also seen people say that they can turn ORs into temporary ICUs. So there might be more but it won't double it.

OTOH for the numbers to far exceed the capacity, and erring on the optimistic side, if 20,000 people get infected, 1,000 will be critical and require intensive care. That's beyond the current capacity of the health service and is less than half of a percent of the population. That's way, way below "somewhere in the middle".

The people in Ireland can simply isolate them self in country simply digging the hole on country road.Nobody will come and no need travel for food because there is cattle of cows and couple tones of spudz behind every second house on country side

Why is horse racing the only sport that's continuing to be held?

Decent crowds at Uttoxeter, Fontwell and Wolverhampton today? England aren't doing enough

Right. Lets say the country’s health service will be hopelessly overwhelmed and the death rate starts going Italian.
If I have symptoms, the Hse aren’t gonna be any help.
I’ll probably have a fever so I need to take medication to try and combat this.
I’ve read on here ibuprofen can have a bad effect coupled with having with c19, so what do I take?
Paracetamol?
Aspirin?
Please, people that don’t believe this scenario will happen just hold your tongue on this post and humour me for a bit.

Paracetamol, tepid water baths. Do not give children Aspirin.

Not a medical professional but I'm hearing paracetamol but definitely no ibuprofen or Aspirin,

If anyone needs cheering up make sure you watch this movie



It's about hope over fear, triumph over adversity and smiles over frowns

Really uplifting movie for any nervy people and germophobes

What part of people staying the fúck away from each other so they don't spread the virus are people struggling with?

The virus will spread, we need it to spread slower.

A bunch of drunk idiots dribbling and spitting at each other in a packed pub will not help us slow it.

What part are you struggling with?

scamalert

id rather go to pub and get a shot 80% alc prob will kill more then c%nts who let their kids roam for a month now, or those that go rampage on shops when theres no shortage, same ejjits asking for one thing yet will happily go into stores and act like lunatics prepping for doomsday. as if either scenario will make virus dissapear.


5k+ deaths almost in 5 months is peanuts compared to any even in history regarding viruses wars or other diseases.
If any clown cant do simple maths or take into account real facts we have yearly for deaths, then f off to your social media cult lunatic hub.
