After all my work with my parents they went to my sister's house for dinner today. My niece not long back from france. I didnt know they were going until my sister posted a what's app photo. The rest of us are all livid. How do you get the message through. I'm not blaming my parents but my sister and her stupid husband should know better :mad:

People won’t wise up till the proverbial hits the fan, it’s the calm before the storm, brothers friend was called into work today with plant hire crowd to start clearing a 5 acre field that is to be used for a testing centre and god knows what else, it’s located beside a hotel and just of a motorway, the full story isn’t been told by the government re numbers infected

We are more or less in lock down all ready don't see much more they can do

Unless people have some proof, I accept the Govn't figures. The test result is about 36 hours. So the ones tested Monday should show in tomorrow's or Thursday's numbers.
19 drive centres going up to 34.
15,000 positives by the end of the month.
3,000 in hospital.
Italy, Spain and France is what complete lockdown looks like.

Person I know tested yesterday results tomorrow. She was in an hour long one to one work meeting with someone who tested positive the day after the meeting. I'd say tomorrow will tell alot, also they are waiting on more testing kits

We're far from being locked down atm. Wait till permission is needed to go for food or medicine and Sunday in the shopping centre is cancelled.

Better to do it now rather than in a week or two time.

Yea.

A lad who has to be the best of everything and never wrong but I pulled him up on something when he was wrong. He didnt like it. I spent 4 months looking after his wife, my sister during her mental illness during the summer.

kerryjack

He never mentioned the farmers that are flat out providing food.

Where did that 15000 figure come from. There's two weeks left in the month. They're saying 600ish infected by the weekend, 14400 to test positive in the last 10 days of the month?

Water John

It's from modelling. 30% increase in new cases each day, exponential growth. Taoiseach just said that and possibly more.

whelan2

He said alot without saying a lot

_Brian

It was a nice speech with nice sentiments. But sentiments don’t protect people.

Workers going in tomorrow who have to work in close quarters with their colleagues are disappointed.

I would have expected more business closures, shopping centres etc don’t need to be open at this stage.

The calm before the storm bit is frightening and depressing............expect renewed panic buying tomorrow....

Water John

He has said that before but it may have more impact in a National Address.

Say my name

Anyone able to post a synopsis of the speech? Not everyone watched or listened to it.

What is Miriam wearing on prime time :eek:

Won't happen here for a while, France has always had a deeply statist culture, they (the state) have stakes in all of the big French companies ( Renault, Peugeot, airbus etc) and have already said any major company will be nationalised if in danger of going to the wall, at times like this have no qualms about calling on extraordinary powers

Our system is so democratic, we dither at times like this

Water John

I would be hopeful for us. Hong Kong has kept the numbers down, despite being a very dense city. Their main problem now is people coming into the country.

Thankfully....

We're one of the lucky industries...to date..

Largely up to ourselves to protect ourselves our suppliers and our processors...if we do it right and were lucky enough to be allowed to continue to use the transport routes....we'll be very happy not hearing the Taoiseach mention the word farmer..

The wife has similar sentiments. She had those strange pants on before.

He’s called it out as best he can. No one knows where this is going, all we can do is play the match in front of us as best we can.

No one will forget 2020 any time soon:mad:
