Should the Gardai not be shutting down any establishment open tonight with more than 100 people? Rules for one and not for the other?

No. The guidelines are just that. They are not laws/regulations.

For good reason. It's not feasible to have the Gardaí enforce a two metre social distancing regulation. OTOH, it will be very feasible for Gardaí to enforce a regulation closing pubs etc.

They are acting. Maybe not to the extent that some would like but you would hope that by them announcing that we are in a very serious situation and that this virus is exceptionally contagious, you wouldn't have arseholes cramming themselves into a pub.

It's not illegal and nobody is breaking the law of they cough on your face. You'd hope that people wouldnt because they are responsible and have care and respect for the general public and failing that, at least their family.

The irony is if you called a politician an arsehole you'd be pulled up on it. But its okay otherwise

Okay, I'm beginning to wonder what is really happening!
Approx 156000 got the virus, 6000 died, 6000 seriously Ill
50% already recovered. Of those sick with virus 92% have mild cases.

I know we need a cure, we also need help with seasonal flue.
98,375 people have died this year from seasonal flu. Source Worldometer.
92000 more than with Corona.

Last month we worried about Bregit and northern border and then refugees flooding Europe and no borders. Today we have Italy in lockdown, France lockdown at midnight, Spain at 8.00am Monday morning. ÙS closing down to Europe. (Will that stop us army landing daily in Shannon on way to bombing middle East) and all countries acting independently. No EU

Only short of martial law and the vast majority of people supporting it. Even suggesting gov should close airports, bars, restaurants , crazy

There have been reports in French media that Ibuprofen should be avoided. I'm not able to back this up with any links to science, but it was widely reported on very reliable French news outlets earlier today.

It's something to do with the anti-inflammatory effects of ibuprofen though.

They're advising people to stick to paracetamol if they suspect they have it and seek medical advice i.e. phone GP.

Here’s the link

i'm open to correction....but i dont think they can, as it was a recommendation to the public rather than anything unlawful.
there was a question asked on radio i think it was to someone official, cant remember who..and the scenario of a wedding split into two ajoining rooms, allowing 100 in each room, if this would be allowed ..i think the answer was something like these are recommendations only to public.

There have been reports that Ibuprofen may worsen the effects of the virus, paracetamol has been recommended instead.

Various reports about this today saying there is a fear anti-inflammatories are a problem and should not be taken by anyone with the virus

Thanks.
I really think they need to be reporting the “steer clear of ibuprofen “ line, because in a weeks time we won’t get through to the Hse or our gp’s.

Yes this is the same country that allowed nearly a week to pass before informing us they had the biggest nuclear disaster on the planet in Chernobyl .

There are at least half a dozen ways it is clearly not "the same country" or anything like it!

Not Ibuprofen according to France.
This is from a reliable media source.

It mentions 40-50 people on ICU in Holland currently with half or more under 50

My post was merely meant to address the myth this is a old people only disease. I am not sufficiently skilled to interpret pandemic statistics.

Thanks for the link. Interesting article.

Also Google Translate has come a long way.

Simple solution to your confusion= read the reports of doctors working in Italian hospitals. You will no longer think these measures are “crazy”

A lot of what we do in Ireland revolves around alcohol and pubs... If people were told going to a pub might make you gravely ill, some would still go.

To be fair to those posting about Temple Bar pubs, most of the people in them are most likely not Irish. No sane Irish person would go there at the weekend.

We have a family dinner planned for Monday. 8 people. Two of them over 60.

Would you go?

Lets just say an unhealthy relationship with drink. These edgelords are giving two fingers to everyone here. They don't care if they get it, and dont care if they pass it on to others. People could die because of them.

It's treasonous.

I’m wondering too!
By next weekend martial law would be the logical progression.

Some may say it’s not the correct thread but what’s happening was unthinkable a short few weeks ago

Fair play if you can get it up during a pandemic

Also there was a baby born with the virus, not something to look forward to

Honestly I have no idea where to start with that ramble.
Let's start with the 92 percent mild cases.
Pretty much everywhere says it is 80 percent.

Corona is also multiples times more deadly than the flu, stats are all over the place but at least seem to be a minimum 1% (other are a lot lot higher) common flu is generally seen as 0.1%

Your lungs filling with fluid and being drowned is also dangerous to anyone.

Let the professionals keep your temperature down if they're there and it's deemed to be required. Otherwise I wouldn't really second guess what your body's response is to try to save you.
