Throughout the day usually, already had 521 new cases and 3 deaths at 12pm so I too think its gonna be a rough day there

Employ thousands, as it does now. But by all means by Irish if you can.

They don't need to stay indoors. Go out as a family unit/on own but don't get close to anyone outside your group.

The UK Tory strategy is nothing but a blatant cull of the old and sick if you ask me. I hope it does not turn out that way.

Johnston and Cummings did hire “misfits and weirdos” as advisers.

I suppose it is hardly surprising that right wing sociopathic and psychopathic thinking seems to be guiding their response to this pandemic.

It’s very hard not to fall foul of Godwin’s Law or mention some kind of Aktion T4 by planned neglect, when describing this British government solo run.

So you think a footballer who plays one game a week interacts more with the public than lets say retail staff up and down the country. In England how many thousand of the public have been tested compared to each and every of the thousand or so footballers has been tested.

Have you any idea how many meet & greets a professional footballer does per week? How many autographs they sign (where they're kindly handed the pen!), how many people they hug for a selfie... ?? Any idea? Several hundred would be a start. Fans before and after every training session, every game. Publicity events, sponsor events, promotions? Serving someone across a til in a shop is much different.

Hopefully the panic buying will stop now.....I'm sure those with 200 toilet rolls in probably think they have enough.

Yeah they will be sitting looking at their massive stockpiles in a couple of weeks thinking "I have only 1 arsehole"

Have the idiots not figured it out yet ? Was at my local supervalu earlier. No issue with stock. The loo roll panic is hilarious. Idiots.

Are they only releasing the new daily infected numbers at the end of each day?

ROI still at 90..

6pm each day. Numbers are as-of midday that day.

Footballers, politicians, 'celebs', etc interact with more strangers per day than Joe Public. Signing autographs, shaking hands, taking selfies, etc, etc. This is why they have been exposed more. NOT because they are tested more as someone pointed out.

Absolutely, a footballer arrives for training, at the clubs center of excellence ... AON complex, Kirby, wherever...

Teammates/Squad-mates ..25

Staff/coaches/management ..60

Under age / reserve teams .. 40

That’s a guesstimate, on the conservative side but in a reasonable small space 125 people, daily.

Then there is potential for interactions with fans, charities etc...

So we have 1 or maybe 2 dead.

That’s a long long long way off the predicted 80,000 dead.

What am I missing here ?

Brain cells, you’re missing brain cells. This is far from being over. The total is a prediction for overall deaths from this virus not just the first two weeks.

This isn’t going away anytime soon. We will still be in some phase of control/mitigation in 6 months time.

The bog roll is a funny one. Felt like a spare buying it last night, usually buy the smallest packs ever, one at a time even, like one roll at a time. Not even joking. But just decided to get caught up in the frenzy and buy a huge pack. Won’t need to buy it until summer.

My 85 year old mother asked me to order a trilogy on-line for her to occupy herself since she can't go out and the weather is too bad for her to garden.
Looked on Amazon - €50.
Looked on Eason - €60.

For someone on the old age pension that tenner makes a big difference.

I think it is more so that footballers are way more highly mobile that the average person eg flying back home to Spain, Portugal or wherever for a day or two between training.

More specifically 12:30 Madrid time. Though local regions do regional figures before that.

Some internet related activities for the day that's in it, to keep kids occupied :

Pretend to be an air traffic controller - open Flight Radar 24 to monitor aircraft worldwide. Open Live ATC .net and search for DUB to hear planes contact Dublin airport.

Listen to the world's last pirate radio ship - Radio Caroline is live from their historic radio ship MV Ross Revenge, for this weekend. Visit radiocaroline.co.uk and click on the listen to Manx Radio button, or say 'Alexa, play Manx Radio A.M.'

Visit the NASA webite and knock yourself out with the history, or watch NASA TV live for a daily link with the International Space Station.

Lots to keep them busy with... apart from facebook, snapchat etc.. lift their horizons.

They employ thousands in Cork and Dublin for a start and have invested hundreds of million investing in new sites as of yet unopen which will create further jobs.

The UK doesn't have VAT on books, but we do here.

I know the HSE and doctors are saying if you have symptoms self isolate. At what stage do you seek medical help for yourself or a loved one ?

At any stage you feel you need it, like any illness. Spiking temp, shortness of breath, breathing difficulties. I'm not a medic that's just my opinion.

Thanks for that, the number is completely inaccessible though.
It’s kinda funny that the HSE announce new criteria for testing on a Friday afternoon just before any way to access that testing closed for an extra long weekend
We’re in an unprecedented crisis that is time sensitive, my wife has all of the symptoms on the HSEs criteria for testing and we’re in a high risk location and it’s still unlikely she’ll have access to a test until Wednesday next week.

If someone has symptoms but is well enough to rest at home and recover then why would they need to be tested.

I'm thinking out loud here, not necessarily directed at you.

A) A person has mild symptoms, gets tested, negative result, isolate and rest at home.
A person has mild symptoms, gets tested, positive result, isolate and rest at home.

If you don't need hospitalisation the outcome is the same regardless of a test.

I think you have an idea of a footballer that is not the reality. The majority of them dont give a ****. I work in a company of 1600, do you realise how many meetings I have, how many different people I interact with, how many things I sign with random pens.

Where are the horror stories coming out of ICUs in Spain? Why did we have a week of doctors in Italy popping up on social media spreading harrowing tales from the frontline, and now in Spain, no such tales.

I am an Amazon seller, and I don’t think people realize how Amazon largely works.

I’m not employed by Amazon, but pay crazy fees to use Amazons platforms. When you buy “off Amazon”, chances are it’s off some version of me. A small business using the platform. A large majority of stuff on Amazon nowadays is sourced and sold by third parties, under the amazon platform.

That attitude of “don’t buy off Amazon, buy local” is somewhat admirable but will see a lot of businesses go bust too.

Because they're not at the same point yet.

Tis all a conspiracy is it. The whole world is in a panic for nothing?

While this is true, people should always endeavor to buy Irish. €3 out of every €4 spent online is spent OUTSIDE Ireland.

If you have been following what happened in China and Italy, you will know that this is only a matter of time. Someone doesn’t just go from catching the virus to ICU over night. Italian doctors talked about the calm before the storm.
