Why would a website, which can be administrated remotely be shutdown ?

Very skeptical. Visited my grandmother this evening but left after 10 mins when I normally stay an hour. I have a runny nose as well

She told you to f**k off. I would, too.

Thanks for posting. I have a few questions you may be able to answer:

Dr. John Campbell said Vitamin D could help stop the virus getting into your lungs. What is your view on that?

There have been reports that chloroquine is being used to treat and remdesivir on a compassionate basis. Do we have access to these drugs?

When will we see peak in Ireland?

I know we got our first official case on March 1. When do you think it arrived here?

TIA

Vitamin D has shown efficacy in Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS). But I assume you wont get any benefit with bolus dose. It will likely help someone who has been on regular dosage for quite sometime and was deficient earlier.

Remdesivir randomized control trials are still under progress. We will have update in few months. Chroloquine seems to act as ionophore where you need to take zinc too. Not sure about the trials though.

Ah I get that, but there are so many things wrong with the message if you even spare a moment to think about it logically.

- "Army" to be posted outside shops. Logistically, how could that even be feasible. Every shop!?
- Water bottles. So now the water supply will be turned off (???)
- Baby products. Odd thing to be specific about. Nothing to suggest the supply chain of these products is going to be effected. We know this.
- Fire Brigade as ambulance staff. This already happens, all firemen(persons?) are trained paramedics.

A quick search on Twitter brings up tons of threads that references some form of the message.

Christ. I give up.

If I was Julie I'd be more concerned about my bad hair.

OK.

So if they can't enforce a lockdown as people here say can you tell me what happens when people go out during a lockdown?

Is it BS?

Michael Flatley just rang me to tell me boards.ie is shutting down to avoid the web server catching the virus, can a mod confirm???? please this is a vital source of info

925 new cases in France and 36 deaths. Apparently all of these cases are serious and require hospitalisation, seems like a huge number.

Almost 700 new cases in the US

time for the Dail to pass some laws to bring in curfews and lockdowns

The WHO doctor spoke of this today, there are no rules, just do what you need, the biggest error is not moving fast.

How are people feeling about meeting their elderly parents? I'm going to avoid physical contact with them, but ring them daily.

I’m avoiding mine. My dads going through cancer treatment at the moment so I have to really.
It’s tough going though but FaceTime is great.
It’s going to be ridiculously hard to stay away though as the weeks go on

Ofc the government has the power to enforce a lockdown. It's already there in the Health Act 1947, see section 31 and the second schedule.

I see Diceys in Dublin decided to ignore the closure order and are staying open for one more night, pure utter greed, shameful

Agree with you its greed.

But it's not an order. They've all been asked to close from midnight but it's not an order. State doesn't have the legislation to order a closure

Sure I guess someone posted the one from last night that for some reason the Garda rented cars from Europa and the HSe just bought them out :P:P:P:P


Like you need to go to Europa, not just to VW or Ford direct and buy the f**king cars

That is true actually, why would they buy them when they can rent then for the period they need them for.

They hired a whole fleet of cars, planning ahead.

Im noticing a common theme and every bit of information thats clearly false involves the army, as a barometer for the next few weeks, if somebody mentions army theyre shovelling sh*t

Not long in from a shift working in prison. The prisoners are actually showing some fantastic order and it's weirdly pleasant. They accept visits are culled. They accept things are tough outside. They're even doing that elbow to elbow gesture instead of the usual ''bro'' handshake with each other and wishing the officers well on top of that. It's a funny old world in there.

Something insightful on Newstalk sport this afternoon when they were criticizing the Cheltenham idiocy.

We should not only be acting like we should be protecting ourselves from the virus, we should presume we have it and should be protecting everyone else from ourselves.

I've been acting like this for a while but good for someone in the media to say it.

I think this is very different to 2008. The threat to consumer and market confidence comes from a virus. If the virus can be beaten back, confidence should return quickly.

I think this is worse than 2008. In 2008, a big part of the reason we fell apart was we were building too much housing and it was too easy to get a mortgage. Anybody who wanted had a house to live in, as we had truly been booming for nearly 20 years.

A lot of people in 2020 have just about managed to pick themselves up from last recession, and were entering this next one in a housing crisis. Forget about the rebuilding Ireland, etc etc. Tax receipts for March/April will be enough to put an end to major projects before they even get off the ground
