    not being able to afford a house purchase in Dublin is suddenly not as high up the priority list as it was a few weeks ago...

    it's all perspective

    I voted other parties in the election.

    FG are going right to the top for me next time around after their handling of this.

    Other govt recommendations include: those who can work from home should do so, shift patterns should be altered, breaks staggered...etc

    The trick is to try and reduce the levels of normal social contact. By closing schools, pubs, and the above recommendations - this will be achieved.

    The virus is here. People will get it. The objective is to delay it's spread so that health services can cope.

    Yes all well and good but still by having people in work and on public transport you have close contact and areas for passing on of covid

    News stories like this don’t belong in random articles even if it is the guardian. Stories like this need to be verified and then communicated in a public sphere with widest possible audience.

    I did a shop today and fingers crossed don't envisage having to be in a group of people outside the family until maybe next Saturday when I'll do a top up shop.

    We don't go to the pub much anymore as we have two young kids. Plenty of alcohol, snacks and movies here for the wife and I.

    Thankfully the weather was nice today so we spent a good bit of time in the garden and we took turns to go for walks in our rural area.

    We can make good choices and still have a pretty nice time once people exercise some common sense.

    It shouldnt be but as we saw last night and with "virus parties". Thick fùcks literally cant be trusted to drink a few cans in a sane manner. The actions of the braindead alco's ruin it for everyone.

    Exactly, I’ll spend 3 hours tomorrow on packed public transport, but it’s an OUTRAGE that I went for a pint earlier.

    Cans from an offie? No problem.You're drinking at home therefore limiting social interaction.

    Consistently moaning about not being able to go for a few scoops at the boozer for a few days? You probably need to see someone after this crisis is over.

    Fingers crossed hoping for a low number this evening!

    He seems to do everything that people on here suggest (albeit a day late) so I'd have to say yes.
    • ban the parades
    • close the schools
    • close the pubs

    I think next on the list should be to provision personal protection equipment for every medic that needs it and every person who can't work from home.

    Can't understand the need to go to the pub, surely mixing with degenerates half cut is the last place you want to be to maintain your health. If you need a drink simply buy a tray of cans at your local supermarket and drink them at home.

    I had to drive from Navan to Dublin to drop some supplies into my father in law who can’t get out much. He really needed it.

    What shocked me was the amount of people out and about. People out walking, people stopped chatting, people going into shopping centres not for the supermarket, people going barbers etc. Kids out and about.

    Almost all of it appeared to be very unnecessary!

    What’s the point in closing anything if people just can’t stay in?

    We need a much harsher message from our government and have choices taken away from us.

    Unfortunately, the numbers will need to keep rising quite a bit more and a few more deaths too, before many of these people wake up and make the necessary adjustments!

    Measures may need to be enforced very soon!

    NI and Arlene I expect. She don't wanna move from UK directives.

    Shut up the feck of all them in NI, and align with the rest of the Island FGS.

    Red rag to a bull. Watch and wait.

    True. But hopefully not as many will usually be on transport, at the peak times. Particularly if govt actions/recommendations (homeworking, shift staggers, pub closures, school closures) are taken into account.

    Look, whatever you might think/have thought about FG in the past, and maybe voted SF now, fine.

    But they are now in the thick of it, trying their best to get the best advice, make the right decisions and so on. Thankless task as a caretaker Government.

    I for one don't care who the feck is in charge as long as they make the best decisions for all of us, and it's looking like they are. Fair play.

    Massive FG adversary here.

    They are stepping up to the plate and I stand with them. Fair play.

    Amid Virus Outbreak, China Suddenly Cancels Flights and Train Schedules in Major Cities

    Newly reported cases are drastically down, would say they are taking every precaution to prevent spreading to other cities, also there must be an element of guilt from that part of the world, at this stage they must be seen to be doing absolutely everything.

    It’s not that simple. So do the staff of these pubs. They need money to pay utilities.

    Saying pubs should shut at midnight means nothing. It's not law. Gardai have no powers to enforce "should".

    Politicians have to go through the correct motions to draft law and legislation.

    But pubs should close out of the common good. Offices must be next

    Marijuana should be temporarily legalised to help keep people indoors. Also free sweets
