Ireland need to stop flights to England
Sounds drastic but I dont see the UK government having the cop on to do what's right.

They have made their decision on letting everyone get it on mass and it will blow up in their faces but Ireland will now suffer for their stupidity.

I'd argue if England had taken the measures Ireland have done so far the US might have not closed the doors on us so soon.

It's not just England that's the problem, it's the UK. We have a land border with the UK measures.

Just heard of a wedding going ahead today in a Kerry town and told by the venue to keep your mouth shut, well over the 100 limit. This is what we are up against.

Edit : don’t know the venue but a couple attending the wedding.

Not surprised at all.

Same as that, just back from Dunnes. Shelves were fully stocked, actually never seen them as full. Plenty of staff about refilling anything left empty and there was a young lad at the self service wiping down the machine after each person used it. I thought that was good. I went to Aldi after for a few bits and I found it suspiciously quiet.

Just back from a lidl. Lots of stock, but they had Aldi bread on the shelves!

I've had to adopt a one in one out policy to try and deal with this. Nobody wants you in the Pharmacy for longer than you have to be. But understand we're doing double, triple the volume we normally do on a day. I've worked 40 of the last 72 hours...

For God sake lads be sound to Pharmacy staff.

I appreciate what you are saying.
I would always be polite to anyone and I am sure some people are horrible to deal with.

Quick question though, how do you feel about some of the horrendous price gouging which pharmacies have implemented in recent days?

3497 new cases and 175 deaths in Italy. Jesus christ I was expecting a bit of a drop today

Any guess on the number here in Ireland for end of today?[/QUOTE

Another 25? One nurse is in ICU on a ventilator today.

Could you link to that? Or do you have a personal source? Thanks

Has Ireland done that yet ?


And if not, why not ?

I'm not sure how we'd go about closing the land border with Northern Ireland.

Just like to add here these price increases are from the suppliers and manufacturers and being passed onto pharmacies ...

God Almighty. Is there no reprieve for them

The sad reality is it will take two weeks or more for the impact of lockdowns to affect the figures.

Expect 10,000 cases a day in Italy before things start to slow down.

Theres a bang of fascism off Boris Johnson's herd immunity approach. Theyre essentially going to allow the old and infirm to die. Northern Ireland border needs to be closed if theyre following that approach.

Plus don't forget how soft that border is.
I'd prefer if it didn't close I am heading to see my folks in north next week...

It's a full ban on flights from Sunday. One can only cross the border "on wheels" and only via few dedicated border crossing. All travelers will have 14 days quarantine imposed. No exceptions.


EDIT: Start getting used to living with your mother in law The ban may last a good while

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!



Ah it's OK, she's actually fine. My concern is that she's on medication so I need to find out if she has enough to see her through for a few weeks.

Wow 3500, thats roughly what all of China was reporting at the peak of the epidemic. Italy is now in a lot worse position than Wuhan

What was yesterday's rise? Have the numbers accelerated even further?

el Fenomeno

3,500 is crazy.

I genuinely thought (with no real reason for thinking it, mind you) that their cases would stay at no more than around the 2,500 mark per day before petering out. Wow.

completedit

I’m watching Germany’s situation. If we start getting horror stories from there, I will start to worry.

These upward figure reporting make no sense now. CV is in Europe. It’s in Italy. It’s in Spain. It’s in Uk. It’s in Ireland.

R.I.P to all those who have lost their lives. Let’s hope there is something beyond and their souls are at peace.

My heart is broken for Italy. Unimaginable.

2,800 rise in cases yesterday and 250 deaths.

Around that.

We won't be able to cope with these figures.

Ok that might be some of them....but
Perfect example...pharmacy in town y'day 3 100ml bottles (plastic travel sprays homemade) of 70 percent ethanol (not hand sanitizer)....28 euro.
Tell me what you think the pharmacy mark up is on that?

YIKES! US to extend coronavirus travel ban to UK and Ireland
