Exactly. These posts are about as helpful as the rumours themselves.

Just ban the word lockdown. It's meaningless now.

This cannot be defeated with lockdowns. The low-risk population need to get infected, and as quick a rate as possible in such a way that deaths are minimised - not eliminated, minimised.

You agree with Sir Patrick Vallance (herd Immunity).
I must say, I'm beginning to agree .....

You will be provided with a shed prior to lockdown.

You'd wonder do some people have their heads in the clouds or are too stupid to get how much things have changed-

Got one of those dodgy leaflets in door for clothes collection later in week.

I got one of those too.

Does Coveny and vardkar think the public is crash test dummies

Serious information vacuum here

Agree, they need to start giving much more specific information as to where clusters of positive tests are found. No names needed but I'd like to know if our local town or village say was a hotspot, so we would be extra careful. This business of advising of cases as in the 'east, south or west etc' is useless.

Clocks change on the 29th March. 1 hour of extra light in the evenings.

Gotta say for a "HSE Worker" at a time where health staff are generally very busy you seem to be spending most of your time either travelling, drinking or shíteposting on boards.

So either the vast majority of health staff are lying about being busy or you are unemployed.


I think I know which is more likely.

I can post a recent payslip if that would please you. I couldn't give a rats what you think is likely. Also, I've never said I was health staff. I said I worked for the HSE.

Hmmm....63 cases. :rolleyes:

They quarantined people coming into the country from the start (AFAIK).

Where would you quarantined all those people. Where would you have got all the people to monitor these people on an ongoing basis and why 4/6 weeks

4/6 weeks ago, self isolate and regular testing ttill they fine or positive.

It wouldnt be my job to figure that out, Id leave it up to the relevent depts! Or just copy sigapore taiwan etc

It shouldn’t matter. You’re supposed to behave as if you are infected. Hotspot or not.

Loads of cases in Dublin 2 according to my sources.

Day 2 of the lockdown here in Spain, I think I'm going a bit mad. I used to love going for a walk everyday and getting a bit of exercise, I'm becoming a bit frustrated that I can't. I think I will go to the supermarket the next time as my girlfriend went the last time, just to get some fresh air. I see where the minister of transport has come out and said that it will be extended. I wonder when they will stop flights coming into Spain as the Brits yesterday in Benidorm were causing trouble. I hope the police work the batons on them if they disobey again.

You'd think people would grasp that straight away, but no, there's no limit to the bounds of idiocy it would seem. Off to the shops panic buying and sharing WhatsApp hysteria instead.

Any further lockdown will come with notice I imagine.

My advice is instead of pasta, go get some DIY stuff, paint etc.

There will be long days ahead that will need filling. Tackle the jobs that you have been putting off.

Are you not allowed to go out for a walk ?

Clusters in Tesco, Aldi, Dunnes, Lidl, Spar ...

Wherever people gather in clusters, transmission is obviously possible!

Will there really a need for the army to aid in a lockdown?? You would swear Ireland will turn into a bunch of savages running amok on the streets just because we have been told to stay in.
The amount of people who don't adhere to a lockdown will be tiny and you can nearly guarantee where abouts it will happen

If the weekend is anything to go by there is. Plus there is also the talk of releasing low risk prisoners.

Revenue have more or less said that staff will be redeployed to ensure critical business needs are met across the wider public service.

They need to send out text messages to every phone on our networks. With the current guidelines etc. There are people out there that dont read news etc.

The Medical Council have issued guidance to doctors on prioritising treatment:

"Patients with the best chance of survival are to be prioritised as coronavirus overwhelms the health service, even where families disagree, the Medical Council has told doctors.

“In making decisions based on the principle of prioritising the use of scarce resources to treat those patients most likely to survive, more lives are likely to be preserved,” it has said."

Some info present in this internal memo regarding the preparations for reorganizing hospitals, treatments and the pulling of life supporting measures when overloaded.

Holy hell. This does not instill confidence in the HSE.

Please tell me you're the tea boy or something?

I too was annoyed at the vagueness of the '5 cases in the west' & '10 cases in the East' messages, at the start.

But I think the reasoning behind it is to keep people vigilant and to not think that they do not have to practice social distancing and hand washing etc just because the cases are not in their town or locality.

Would love to know what critical needs NEED to be met and if this isnt just a excuse to keep people busy instead of keeping them safe.

No, there were people who were using their dog as a way of going for a walk but that has also been stopped. They have also began to fine people and you can also be put in jail.

A lot more testing will be going ahead according to reports. Are we looking at high 40s today, maybe high 50s for positives today?

Figures are irrelevant at this stage. What we need to see is the plateau and then drop off of new cases, whatever level that is. Months away I suspect.

At this stage what does it matter. Just assume it is everywhere and act accordingly.

Fair enough point but that would make more sense back in the spanish flu, their would be so much travel between the 2 nations same as here as we are an island too?

Did you say your other half, or someone's other half, works in Tesco and were told of the imminent lockdown? Are you just barefaced lying or making things up for the craic?

New weekly reports expected from today should have that information.
