Coronavirus's seem to mutate rapidly. While difficult to develop vaccinnes, one can hope that such rapid mutations are likely to produce less virulent forms of COVID19

No, I’ve heard the opposite, that they appear to mutate very slowly.

If we're going on lockdown may as well do it right away

Interestingly enough, a poster earlier alluded to experts saying after 2-4 weeks restrictions will be lifted, due to societal disadvantages outweighing the benefits of lockdown!!
Cant find the link now

And that's a big problem because our neighbours will just travel in and put us back to square 1.

Genuinely depressed at the mess this will cause to health + impact to society

Limited opening hours and creating queues of people desperate for food sounds like a great plan to limit people interacting in close proximity to each other.

Not remotely believable

Yeah you got the wrong end of the stick completely

I read back from the first post.. I'm not sure how it could be interpreted any other way. Unless youre raising a point that's nothing to do with covid 19 and is more around GP referrals.

But considering this is a thread on covid 19...im unsure.. What are you trying to say?

Those people will likely die. That is why the UK strategy is not good enough

Ireland will recover fast and the uk will be burdened with cases they will rush the boarders trying to get access to the superior health care that the hse provides. We must stop these people! Uk has long since been a drain on our economy and resources. Totally agree.

Question: if a proper 'lockdown' is announced, do people who can't work from home still go in? This semi lockdown (closed schools, anyone who can work from home is recommended to do so, social distancing) is becoming less semi all the time (with recommendations against travelling and closing of pubs for example). What's the next step? Will all workplaces close?

Certain important jobs who cannot work from home will still go in, the most obvious being health services but also supermarkets, farmers, Gardaí, certain parts of the civil service and councils, CIE, food packers, etc.

More scaremongering bull****. Tell us your source. Saw it on Twatter probably.

In fairness most things that have been said have come to pass, who would have thought schools be closed, now pubs etc...

100s of specialists sending open letters to the British Government.

Basically telling them hiding old people and carrying on is monumentally stupid.

Because Britain is outside the EU are they no longer privy to shared information inside it?

It’s a novel virus. Of course people didn’t have immunity to it. But that doesn’t that mean they won’t. It’s not yet clear whether reinfection is a thing. It’s far too soon to say. Some of the research articles coming out of China are sloppy to say the least. Unsurprisingly, as it’s hard to churn out research in only a matter of months.

One of the articles you linked there even acknowledges that antibodies against the virus were present.

Antibodies are the body's response to an attack on the immune system (if we didn't have these, this virus would kill us with ease). Generally, when the body can effectively shut down a virus, your immunity improves so the body knows this in future and it's easier. With this virus, it stays in the system for 37 days, has many mutated strains even only four months in, and is a coronavirus, which as I said we haven't managed to vaccinate against yet, in human history. And the virus has re-emerged in previous sufferers.

Hope it’s not too late for Harry and Meghan to change their minds about leaving the cocoon they were complaining about.

A lot of "non-essential" businesses will close during the week.

Its all about this Al-C0h-01 thing. Peope need it in their lives but deny its a problem for them. Maybe we need new thread?

If it was about the alcohol people would sit at home and drink it. There is nothing stopping them to do that. It’s about socialising and having the craic. Some people are a bit slower to realise the implications of this pandemic. Soon enough everyone will get the idea that craic and socialising is not going to be around much for a while.

Social welfare too and revenue commissioners to pay for it.

Well thats horsesh1t anyway. Army at supermarkets, never heard anything so daft. Any idea how many supermarkets in this country? Why would we need army at the supermarkets, they've cleaned the places out already only for it to be replaced the following day.

You may be surprised as that is exactly what is going to happen in the USA quite soon. They say it is just one region now but as it start in one place it will be expanded rapidly.
Slovak government is planning simmilar thing. In situation like this it is unavoidable.

I would be no fan of britain or brexiteers,but it would be wrong not to share info about this with them

I heard from a very reliable source the same. Tuesday is lockdown day

To be honest, with the way things are going, source or no source, I'd be shocked if we didn't go into full lock-down.

I guess they'll clarify that when (not IF) they make the announcement.

I’m in the food industry.
Once the supply chain stays working, there will be no problem.

What support is in place for people who lost jobs today..I know they can claim social but what about rent and mortgage. I have two friends who lost jobs today one is chef and one a bar manager both let go with no promises they still have a job .
These people live from paycheck to paycheck and are in serious trouble.

Diceys is open

joeguevara

My cousin and her husband closed their small village pub two days ago. It must have been a very tough decision as this would be the second biggest week of revenue after Christmas. There was no waiting for a direction or enforced closure. A lot of other pubs followed suit. In my hometown of clonmel vast majority of pubs and the only nightclub was closed from early Friday.

Diceys garden has posted that they are open tonight with restricted numbers. This is after they have been publicly notified that a customer who had been in a number of times during the week had tested positive for coronavirus. As the maximum number of people at an indoor gathering is 100 and the fact that 15-20 would be staff (bouncers, cleaners, bar staff, lounge staff,) the fact that they are opening is shocking. Also as most other places are shut, chances that a huge crowd will congregate outside, hopping to get in.meaning they will be in close proximity which increases infection risk. The worst thing is they signed off the post publicist the fact that they are open with ‘Stay Safe’.
