Not illegal, and not as weird as you are trying to make it out to be. I have a friend who lived in that city for a while and shopped there every day.

Moncreiff had an infectious diseases specialist on last week talking about how it happened. Probably cages of pangolin stacked up on each other with one sh!teing down through the bars of the other ones' cages... Basically a virus diarrhea being sprayed down on the guy on the bottom row. And some weirdo kills and eats it :l

Doesn't seem worth the hassle it's caused. Esp since four other viruses we know have been caused the same way.

Seriously. Not everything has to be political. Ventilators going abroad would be a company selling them not the government.

Get your phones out folks and take a pic and post on social media platforms.

But they aren't packed today

Not everyone is going to come back. E.g the cartels guys living in the Costa de sol . I cant see them flying into be arrested.

Media isn't giving a breakdown, they're all "tourists".

I'm assuming all the Polish, Latvians etc that live and work here are staying put? Why should all Irish that live and work in Spain come home? They may not have any place to go home to!

Oh I'd say it's hell but not a decision that has been taken lightly. We have not reached that point here just yet despite the constant demands since the middle of last week to do so. Stay well!

I try TV in the eve but invariably watch the news and it all starts up again. I know it’s self - sabotage but better to know. I think it’s the home alone factor.

You'll probably find the chicken you eat is also walking around in it's own excrement.

Those markets need more policing but nothing wrong with eating exotic animals.

If your orders to close down depending on your policy your covered, I have it in writing from my insurance company.

That is great for you if you are covered. But The ST Business Section reported yesterday that most insurance companies now have a clause that specifically excludes global pandemics from corporate cover.

The Mrs (non boardsie) is due to be tested today. She's been unwell since Thursday and was in contact with her GP on Friday who wanted her tested. She then rang doctor on call later on Friday night who diagnosed her over the phone to have a chest infection and Laryngitis; give a prescription and told to self isolate.

Flu like symptoms continue on all weekend and now the doctors have changed their tune again.. so hopefully get tested today after we gave our eircode and contact details. Say the neighbours will be in for some shock if an ambulance pulls up outside.

It's particularly hard to isolate with 3 young kids.. who have all been sick in recent weeks too. At this stage it would be just good to know if the result will come back positive or not. No doubt today's test and the results will be delayed.

I'm off work today but due back in on Wednesday.. if no results are back then I won't be able to go in anyways.. normality is now long forgotten..

It was Coveney who gave the figure of 20,000 Irish people 'on holiday' (not long term residents etc)

Yes but the problem becomes the cross contamination from one species to another.

Conveney on morning ireland, never denied the post circulating last night he went as far as saying state services and gps cant do this alone when i read that i take it as if their will be a lockdown and security upped outside certain buildings. They dont want too announce too much too quickly as this would cause imformation overload with the public, not my words his words.

I literally know the guy who rares my chickens and those feathery fúckers have an enviable life.

We usually have chicken once a month, although it's looking like most of my pre-made meals for the next couple of months have meat in them because I find cooked veg doesn't keep as well when frozen.

Chickens are animals which have been bred for agriculture and although birds and livestock can sometimes pick up diseases as well, we've been lucky to keep that under control. I do agree that after this, we really should look at eating animals as a serious issue that we need to find ways around.

I actually feel very sorry for vegans right now unless they grow their own food. There's a high risk of transmission of this on foodstuffs at the supermarket although most of my vegan friends just eat frozen deep fried crap anyway and never any veg.

I’m in a a pretty lucky position but I live alone and I’m really struggling despite doing my best.

Once I’m up and working from home I’m ok but I’ve just started in the job and can’t help feeling worried they may terminate my contract.

Night time is the worst.

Some suggestions?

Yes. They actually fcuking can pal.

Laws that can be enforced by the Gardai should be enforced .

A young family with no income should not be forced to worry about mortgage/rent repayments on top of everything else. To put it simple. Fcuk Off

Not so far. The only new news today is the ramping up of testing and an expected far higher number of cases.

the government and the banks pretty much stated this , nobody will be forced out over non payments during the crisis.

even the revenue , the most heartless bastard of them all , is saying they'll work with businesses who cant make returns.


Of course you'll eventually have to pay but It's good to see , to a large degree we are all in this together.

Their is law dating back a long time that enforces the gardai to make sure people stay in lockdown or self isolation, drew harris, garda commisioner has just gone and said this a week and a half ago so yes the OP is false.

I know it's a proper first-world struggle: I'm a mature student and most parts of our course are online, which is nice. Now everything is moved online, which is even nicer.
What's tough is that our deadlines stay the same, but now I have a toddler and a school kid at home and I have several assignments to write. So from now up until after Easter I'm knee-deep in work with my bored brigade at home.
I asked my husband to work from home but his office is super-vague about it, but I need him to split childcare so we both can juggle our work somehow. It's really, really tough.

Timevto mobilize the youth! Arm all the bored schoolkids with supersoakers full of warm water and washing up liquid, send them outside and let them at it! Fun, fresh air, exercise, and disinfected streets :-)

Yep 8am according to Jin Luk’s other half who works in Aldi. I mean if we can’t trust that then I don’t know....

Pacing Mule

This explains UK approach in a way that makes a bit of sense to me....


I’m going to explain Boris’s method for anybody who doesn’t quite get it I’m not saying if I agree with his plan or not but here goes

His plan is to segregate all vulnerable people (older, illand at risk) let’s call this group A

Anyone looking after the older,ill and at risk can be group B

The general population generally healthy can be group C

Group C needs to go about it’s business keeping the country moving kids at school us at work

Group B looks after group A and avoids contact with C

Group C is allowed to contract the virus and because it’s generally healthy it can cope with it better than group A

Group A and B are almost self isolating without the virus to avoid putting strain on the NHS and reducing the risk of getting the virus and then needing the NHS

Group C (the generally healthy) go through the cycle of contracting the virus self isolating and being looked after by healthy family members, friends and the local community
Anyone who has complications gets looked after by the NHS while groups A and B are kept away The NHS are not strained by A and B while its looking after complicated cases in C

As group C comes full circle and recovers it divides in to groups that take group B’s position looking after group A allowing group B to go though the cycle

With B and C though the cycle
A is free to have NHS to itself because B and C are now clear from illness and infection and hopefully have a degree of immunity from getting it again this season.

Hope this helps

Everyone has a job to do for the above to work

Stay safe and keep washing those hands

Please feel free to share folks

Bringing back something like 20,000 Irish tourists from Spain, what absolute meatheads thought it was a great idea to continue with travel plans?

My parents live in Spain half the year and returned to Ireland this week. Not all people are comin back from holidays. My parents are old and scared and wanted to be near their family. Blind anger at certain groups is not helpful either

Anyone who travelled while this was unfolding deserves to be left there. How thick would you want to be?

It has surprised me some of the people I know who have actually carried on regardless. It has really changed my opinion of them, such self centered.
