Remember to strip naked at door, hang bio suit outside and shower and wash behind yours ears and bellybutton:D

No need for such queues. Enough for everyone.

Queues are like that as only a few people being allowed into the store at the same time to facilitate social distancing inside the store. So people need to wait their turn to get into store. The people keep their distance in the queue.



I had the same in my Dunne's yesterday, in a queue for almost 1 hour before I got inside the store. Inside the shopping center there is yellow/black tape on the floor every 2m to show spacing. Outside people just used common sense and most were more than 2m apart tbf.


Shop was not crowded at all and was reasonably well stocked with the normally carried brands, no real shortages of anything that I seen. Only in the frozen veg section did I notice most of the products were Dunne's own brand rather than green isle, Birds eye etc.

We are already creating more ICU beds and I don't think we should be left on the hook of potentially having to import NHS patients.

It’s almost certain we will have to help NI our, they have a chronic lack of ventilators

How long do people think this is going to last?
I can't see these restrictions being lifted after 2 weeks, my guess is 3-4 weeks.
Also what happens in lets say a month where it's under control to an extent and then reoccurs when restrictions are lifted?
Realistically how long can we go on like this?
Please no smart answers such as, 'as long as it takes'

My guess is restrictions will be lifted around end of July start of August but a lot depends on the next 2 weeks. If we see massive amounts of people developing antibodies to the virus maybe the schools can start again in September. Here's hoping.

There’s queues to go into online shops now aswell. Just tried to go on boots.ie said I was in a virtual queue and my wait time was more than an hour.

Over 12,000 ahead of u in queue.

The HSE are aware of the need for goggles or face shields sure they were even buying them in Woodies as there was a shortage

The point is there is a difference. Goggles offer far more protection from aerosols than face shield. That's good for cough sneeze if someone does it in close proximity.

That looks very different to china or Italy.

Here you can see the faceshields and 'eye protection glasses'. Literally no good if it is an airborne pathogen which it is at this stage. Would someone who wasn't given proper protection liable to sue for damages when this is all done and said. Horrible to think about at this time but worth thinking about if the right people get the right protection.

I'm thinking of the soldiers who weren't given ear protectors in the army and subsequently got compensation.

As someone with first hand experience of a suicide, I know you haven't the first clue what the alleged victim of alleged suicide was thinking. When you get a little older, and your Mummy let's you out into the scary world, you'll come to realise two things:

1. The real world is very different when you start paying your own bills and, God forbid, start a family.

2. That post was the dummest post on Boards this year.

I realise they are different just that we are so short the consultant from Limerick hospital was on news saying they were buying them from Woodies and similar place to provide supplies until stock comes from China. I had said that in previous posts and i also pointed out part of the reason we have so many healthcre workers infected is that ppe in short supply. But thanks will help others

Ignoring what he said, there is a serious concern suicides will rocket as people worry how they are going feed their families. This cannot be ignored.

So YES if someone was high risk and volatile, what's to say they wont do it. The word Vulnerable doesn't just mean older or underlying, a lot of people will struggle. It's foolish to dismiss everything people say just because it may not be articulated correctly, he has a point.

It’s completely unrealistic. China is already after reopening after 2 months and they had it a lot worse than we did. People need to get a grip, shutting down most of the economy for months on end isn’t feasible.

Anxiety levels have certainly crept up a notch today.

Feeling very claustrophobic around now.

I think we need to be very careful here not to go too far.

Suck it up ffs. The measure are in place to save lives, if that means having a bit of anxiety due to being cooped up then so be it.

When did we turn into such a pack of pussies? Dozens of millions went out to die in wars not too long ago in emergencies and we're being asked to just stay at home for a few weeks. Put on your big boy/girl pants now and do your bit.

Agreed, indeed I like and agree with several of Dave Cullen viewpoints and some of his videos very good. I don't know whether it's my catholic upbringing, but I even have a certain respect for John Waters and agree with him now and again. However on issues like this it's hard to not lose all respect for them!

I have seen once rational people I know sucked in to it too.

The whole world is a big conspiracy against them.

It sad to see. Seems to only take one conspiracy theory and a few youtube videos to have people go crazy.

Think about the effort and determination you have to have to put out videos like that week after week.
