    Is anyone on here brave enough to admit to having Covid19 to answer some questions, AMA with an infected carrier would be helpful

    Was in a pub at lunchtime today and every second table had a reserved sign and nobody was allowed sit at them. You had to wash your hands on the way in. Another sign said if it got too full, you would be refused.

    So it could work, but it only takes one entitlement culture addict to say I won’t wash my hands or I want to sit at that table or I won’t go away because you’re not really full. So sooner or later it won’t work because of idiots like that who will then probably complain about the government.

    That's grand at lunchtime, not at 10pm at night when half the punters in the pub are pissed.

    What happens when the pubs run out of toilet rolls?

    There is not enough bog roll for all the ****e stains in the pub this weekend.

    Feels weird that shut-in losers like me are going to survive this but millions are going to die because they couldn't restrain themselves from going out and having 'de mad craic on de sesh' for a couple of weeks.

    Can any of you normies explain this mentality to me? What on Earth is so bad about having to stay in on a Saturday night? Are you that terrified that people will think you are 'anti social' for staying in?

    Well it's a godsend for Introverts anyway. No need to make excuses. I'm one of them, as are millions of others. Just can't say it out loud because the extroverts think you are mad or something.

    Bliss.

    Oh and a lot of people who subscribe to message boards and the like are intros. Nothing to fear, it's just a personality type. But unfortunately extroverts rule the roost, so if you are not out there having the craic there is something wrong with you. To me, there is something wrong with THEM!

    I don't pretend anymore now, I am who I am, and I know I am not alone in thinking the way I do.

    No bother to me to self isolate at all. Love it!

    I watched Varadkar the other day, his announcement was incredibly short compared with the UK press conference that went on for over half an hour talking to people. I log in to facebook/ youtube etc. and adverts from the nhs pop up because the government mandated it so you aren't telling the truth. The message from the Irish government has been weak and a partial lockdown, people don't think it's good enough so instead of criticising the Irish government they are on here criticising the U.K. which is bizarre but makes sense as it distracts from the issues at hand.

    Varadker is actually appearing quiet irrelevant in this nightmare . He really is a hologram.

    Ludicrous, there will be nowhere near this next week
    There will certainly be more, but we will not have the capacity to detect them.
    How do people feel about people getting take away from take away or reateraunts?
    Lots of places are pushing this.
    I'm not eating anything that anyone else across the globe has potentially touched or breathed near in the last ten days.

    if gov didn't want people in pubs order them closed otherwise they give them the wrong impression.

    The gov said no groups of over 100, and everyone should stay 1 meter apart. That was an initial attempt at a compromise.

    The response was for a load of people to flock to pubs, blatently ignore the warnings, and actively make fun of them in places.

    So, after trying to compromise, the government will likely now move to order them closed.

    Difference is the people who are showing ‘hysteria’ are those who just don’t want people to contract the virus and for those people to pass it on to more vulnerable people.

    The people showing ‘stupidity’ literally do not give a **** about any of that.

    iI say old bean, its rather hard not to be somewhat perturbed when the lives of your loved ones and perhaps even yourself could depend on complete utter ****ing selfish morons

    it would be quite interesting to see their levels of calmness if the shoe was on the other foot............

    Matthew Syed on Sky News press preview telling a nice story how he earlier brought his young kids to see his elderly father who has health issues. The ****ing state of the British media.

    And did you watch the full 60-90 minute press conference after he spoke with Coveney, Harris and a handful of others? i guess not..

    In times like this party politics goes out the window. Nah just sick of the rubbish being spouted.

    You're criticising, and making it personal, Leo Varadkar, while defending the UKs impotency

    Would you go?

    Dear LRNM,

    Thank you sooo much for the invite, even if it is a little 'impersonal' - I was like - 'OMG, that's so nice!'

    Anyhoooo, soooo sorry, but I'm not going to be able to make it as we are in this Lock-down yada yada....It's a whole Covid bla bla bla thing.

    But Yeah! so Yeah!... you guys, 'Masks -on' as they say!

    One would have to wonder, how to we return to normality....even when do we return to normality. There wont be a vaccine for 12-18 months. The partial lockdown will surely last longer than March 29 IMO.

    Attachment not found.

    A lot of noise on twitter regarding this pic. Is this recent?

    It looks like a stag party and if it is, I must admit, it is funny.

    Ok, what’s the best educated researched guess on the numbers that will text positive in Ireland by say, end April?

    If there was only a 5% increase in daily new numbers it would be over 7000 at the end of April
    Reality is it starts to jump up massively and then starts to reduce in the daily increases (relative to the previous day)

    This idea seems flawed. Nobody goes with the intention of being a wanker, it’s the same idea that I’m not the problem, everyone else is the problem. Allowing 100 people to congregate is essentially saying it’s okay to go out on the beer. 100 is a lot of people.
