I don't know what to believe now. Gombeens spreading fake news have made it impossible to decide what true. What makes you think this will happen.

Short answer
Mainly because we don't have any. #winning

Long answer
They don't work and we should give them to emergency services because they don't have enough.

We should aim to break transmissions wherever they occur so get Ryan tuberidy to do a lesson on late late on how to wear them.

We should beg China for a tiny fraction of their supply which would cover us immediately.

If they don't work then why do emergency services need them

Should be stressed though that most people were living in poverty and those in the cities in hopelessly overcrowded conditions. Personal hygiene was nearly non-existent.

Presumably the people who want to go to mass but can't?

Here's a strange fact for you. Things that can be important to others might not necessarily be important to you.

This is really worrying , this women can’t leave the house has only seen 5 people and now in hospital in bad shape. I think this shows how wide spread this is and how easily contracted it is.

Seriously considering if I should even see my parents .

Global debt is more than twice what it was when bad debts triggered the last GFC. The tsunami of unemployment and business about to go under is going to cause an even bigger debt crisis, so good luck with that.

Mmmh it doesn’t bear thinking of.
Germany and Italy were weeks from recession when this started, this will only serve to worsen the effects.

Yes, when this is over I'm going to 'obtain' one of the Covid-19 posters and place it in a frame for future display in the living room.

Thanks very much, tbh I've been struck by the commitment to the task my brother, my work mates and everyone has shown.

I've absolutely no doubt we've a lot more very difficult days ahead, but if we all follow the HSE guidelines, listen to what the government has said.. Tbh I can't stand Leo, but his statements have been very clear and apolitical.. If we all follow the guidelines this crisis hand be handled and the curve flattened out some.

I can only speak in terms of the army here, but there are lots of rumours and fake news about the army's role in all this.

Right now we're an Aid to The Civil Authorities (ATCA), that's a soft role (think flood relief, snow clearing etc). We're not on the streets armed, you won't see armed soldiers. We're not restricting movements and kicking down doors.

If you see an increased army presence on the streets its a good thing. If you see something on facebook that looks questionable its probably fake, PM me if you're looking for reassurance, I really don't mind.

Here's the Chief of Staffs twitter account, if its not here we're probably not doing it

COS Irish Defence Forces

I genuinely don't mind any PM's if you're worried about something you don't fully understand.

Good health to you all.

Why is it that so many seem to believe or accept rumours from bogus WhatsApp messages or Facebook posts or unconfirmed sources but disregard guidance directly issued by Govenment or Public Emergency Health Authority.

Like people who are in nightclubs with hundreds and hundreds of people saying that the social distancing response is completely OTT and bullsh1t but convinced that there was a secret meeting of the illuminati and Leo Varadkar to bla bla bla.

People being welded into their homes in Wuhan

Apparently the back door entrances to apartments were welded shut so that people had to leave by the front door. Temperature was being checked there to screen for the virus on entry and on exit from the building.

We will see exactly who looks after their populations best when this is over. Taiwan, Singapore and South Korea seem to be the only western governments doing well in the fight against the virus.

We should take lessons from Taiwan on how an island nation can defend itself against viral threats.

Or conversely that we had half our current population, largely rural and very little internal travel, almost no foreign travel.

I wouldn't be so sure about Gavin Reilly's comment. Even if they don't have a law on the books at the moment, they can push through legislation quickly enough when they need to - remember the head shops sudden legislation and closure?

They could even do it illegally and damn the consequences - not a great idea, but certainly an option when you have an army sworn to serve the state.

I don't know about total lockdown at 11am on tuesday, but I would have no doubt that whatever needs to be done could be enforced, if needed.

I know we are in trouble but that would only make things worse.
If you have a Government acting ultra vires you are close to anarchy.
