The amount of people suddenly obsessed with jogging is hilarious. You'd swear we were the slimmest, fittest, fastest nation in the world the way some suddenly are fixated on it. I wonder why we are generally the opposite?

People at home to twitch their curtains more often to seek annoyance only noticing it now is all.

Its the same with the stocking up on bread and milk during the Beast from the East, or toilet rolls a couple weeks ago, herd mentality

Before you report her, if you're living in an owner occupied property she can just boot you out without any notice. Keep that in mind.

Why didn't they do this from the start!? Lack of PPE?

Because the useless WHO told them it wasn't airborne when it was. Unfortunately 50 Italian doctors have died as a result of the woeful bad advice. I doubt they will be listening too intently to any future WHO pronouncements.

Maybe a stupid question but where do people get the info on times. I come onto boards every day and search through the thread. Is there a twitter account or webpage?

If you click on Coronavirus at the top of the page you will see a locked sticky or try Fergal Bowers on Twitter.

I am not too convinced the construction industry have stopped working, a few around here who are not working on essential sites but still going to work.... and yet the children’s hospital site has been shut.

Whaaaat?? I thought it isn't airborne but rather is transmitted through droplets?

Droplets can be airborne. Otherwise clouds wouldn't work .

'Speaking about working as a doctor during the coronavirus crisis she said there was some fear. However, “it’s drummed into you in medical school, you don’t run away from things like this,” she said.'

It's a wonder no irony is found in the statement above with reference to the Australian hospitals they've abandoned.

I know I'll get heat for this but I think what they've done is unethical and is based on a misplaced sense of nationalism which has caused them to abandon their colleagues in a crisis. I'm surprised that they weren't challenged by the journalist who interviewed them.

Doctor working in Perth wrote to the Irish times stating that 60% of the medical staff on shift were Irish, he said he thought their decision was not conscionable. https://www.irishtimes.com/opinion/letters/coronavirus-a-worldwide-crisis-1.4208156)

They are choosing who to treat based on nationality.

I don't think the medical board in Australia should rehire people who abandon their post during a crisis.

Harsh but it Needs to be said ....I think these Doctors/Nurses will be in for a rude awakening when the crisis is over and HSE suddenly reverts to norm

There was a study which suggested it could remain airborne and possibly infect that way but the general scientific consensus is via droplets.

Fixing on a set time would be a reasonable and achievable target.
Can't figure why so many posters on here are like taut strings twanging with pent-up outrage.
Perhaps they're psychologically fragile and consumed with virus-related angst. So maybe we can grant a free pass to these tortured souls

Yeah pretty much the exact opposite of this. It's the people who lack perspective and get irked over the time of the presser that seem to be overly fragile and bursting with pent-up outrage.

They have to gather information from a lot of different, often under immense pressure, sources and it needs to take as long as it takes. Those complaining about the timing would be the first to complain if the presser included incomplete and inaccurate information.

Looking at the sporting montage.. Robbie Keane Ireland are the best fans in the World.

How do you decide this? Have they some table to calculate we're top of the 200 odd countries. That silly back slapping bull is annoying.

But isn't that caused from sneezing or coughing?
Rather than droplets just spontaneously flying between people?

We are disgusting creatures ha!!!

It is droplet. Droplet particles can linger airborne depending on environmental factors, hence the confusion.

100% that

But also people just want out of their house on their own for some exercise...

It's so low risk as to be irrelevant.

Maybe those so bothered would be better served with a bit of exercise themselves.

Google duty of care landlords covid19, you will find an Irish law firm I took part of quote from ( not sure if I can name it)

Outside of the unprecedented COVID-19-specific measures and the health and safety legislation, as a matter of general law, each of us owes a duty to each other not to act (and not to fail to act) in a way that causes the other harm. The closer the relationship and more foreseeable the harm, the greater the duty. Aside from it being very much the socially responsible thing to do, it stands to reason that this legal duty of care may place a duty on owners and occupiers of buildings to prevent the harm associated with the spread of COVID-19.

Well to be fair, everyone is spending a lot of time at home now because most people either arent working or working from home. Theres also no shops or leisure facilties or gatherings allowed so the only excuse to be able to go outside for a few minutes is a jog or walk

They were saying on the radio that head lice will become rarer due to the social distancing.

Is that why you are here to nitpick?

RIP , hopefully we will see the crisis peak here within 2 weeks.


Median age of deaths 84. This must have gotten into a nursing home.

It seems like it’s some kind of morbid race to see who can be first to shout the bad news, instead of waiting for the press conference so that the rest of us can see numbers that we can trust
