    The point was made by my grandmother that she's never seen mass stopped in her life time. I couldn't think of a time when they would have closed. Whatever you think about the church good or bad, it's been a consistent part of Irish life through good and bad times. It does kind of wake you up to see them closed.

    How long should it take before we see the results of schools and pubs closing.

    2 or so weeks I'd say.


    I'm much more pessimistic and think we'll see the results tomorrow and the next few days as health staff are forced to off load children at friends or elderly parents because of NO creche/school facilities.

    They should have held fire until as close to April 6th they could when plans would already have been made by most parents for the Easter break

    Just been to a Tesco in Dublin 9... shelves rammed , about 20 shoppers in the whole store which is a very very large one... everyone just strolling around to their hearts content having a relaxing shop. Zero signs of anything aside from a normal Sunday evening, no shopping rampages.

    There are all over in the drink aisle killing each other.:D

    Stop making silly statements like 40,000 people will die. Just over 3,000 in china have died. There are many variables to consider and you coming out with silly bold statements like that is not helping one bit, you are just as bad as all the fake crap thats doing the round on WhatsApp. Jaysus whats wrong with people.

    You'd be very naive to believe the figures out of China. They are way way higher than they are letting on. They aren't welding people into apartments for nothing.

    It's a pity they weren't closed for good.

    Do people think they bolted people in Wuhan into their apartment blocks for no good reason? For the craic?

    What is it about us that makes us think we will be any different?

    It’s an abominable arrogance.

    Does it not tell you how serious they think this is that they opted against that?

    Seriously, i'm seeing people doubting the severity of this, as if they think the government has bombed the economy gleefully. Would it not make you take a step back for a moment and ponder that if the governments, not just of Ireland but accross the globe, are willing to drop a nuke on their economy that maybe, just maybe, it's more serious than you're realising?

    What stopping people from walking into ticking bomb? If you don't name the town, village or city you don't what is happening there. Revealing, how the 40 people got it, and where will stop further spread in the community.

    To be quite honest, during the Polio outbreaks it almost certainly should have been but, Ireland and much of the world was a far more superstitious and devout kind of place and that would have been seen as far more dramatic than it is now.

    We're a lot more pragmatic about pretty much all aspects of life now.

    It was mentioned here earlier that they have started opening those locked apartments today.

    France moving towards herd immunity approach it seems


    The French gov has changed approach in the last few days, first by closing schools and yesterday evening by closing bars, restaurants and non essential shops.



    However, as per today, not everyone has got the message on social distancing.

    We will see how many of them stay that way when people concerned start reporting and they end up with huge fines.

    That is if it is an actual directive to close. I am unclear if they have been asked or told they must close.

    If you name the town then just like the mass panic you saw for the bog rolls, there'd be a bigger mass exodus out of the infected area spreading the infection elsewhere.
