CoVid-19 Part VIII - 292 cases ROI (2 deaths) 62 in NI (as of 17th March) *Read OP*

People need to chill about a lock down. It’ll just mean only necessary places will be open like supermarkets and chemists. If Gardaí are patrolling the streets I’d assume it’ll be to stop people loitering in groups.

I would rather a “ lock down”. Ireland needs the best chance it can get to slow down virus to enable our health system to cope.

If we go into “ lock down” I’ll be doing a big spring clean, might even paint the kitchen and do some gardening , clear out the garage and watch some Netflix it really won’t be that bad. we need to avoid an Italy scenario at all costs, I can’t imagine the heart break and even after the virus starts to die out, the poor people will be in shock.

I am even finding it very surreal.

Ah yeah I agree it's classic BS from clowns who want to sound important. I can't stand this spoofing panic mongering either. It might just be a bad joke online but if it causes panic buying it will reduce access to essentials for the most vulnerable and increase the spread of infection.

One of this things that appeared in business a decade or so ago was the "Disaster recovery plan".

More and more you encountered larger customers who would not deal with you unless you had a disaster recovery plan. I wrote lots of them for my customers over the years. The plans would identify company weakness and points of failure in various disaster scenario and recommend measures to be implemented before, during and after any such scenario. The companies, my customers, would then implement and update this report to produce a up to date plan which would be regularly refreshed.

In my experience a large number (majority) of these plans remained on the shelf for years, only getting "refreshed" when their prospective customer asked the question "do you have a disaster recovery plan".

In all honesty I can say, that to a degree, I was guilty of this too.

What does that mean? Full lockdown?

This is a very good question.


I expect to see increasing restrictions from the state as this goes on. I have a feeling that whatever is announced on Monday/Tuesday will be used to claim that the rumours have been fulfilled. For example, if flights are cancelled or hotels are asked to shut down, those events will be used to say "Look, I was right. It's a lockdown".



So yeah, I too would like to know what is meant by this lockdown.

There was a meeting this morning, I don't know the outcome. We will soon. I'll be back to say I told you so soon enough.

Before we say you can come back what type of lockdown are you talking about.

1. Everything to close for St Patricks Day (that can)? I say very possible
2. All pubs and clubs have to close any anywhere else that can not have less then 100? I say very possible
3 Everywhere has to close down (again not essential service doctors, nurses, police and allow shops to open for x amount of time)? Not a hope unless it get really really bad

Its is only 3 you can come back and say I told you so. The opposite is also true if there is none I expect you back to say I was wrong but not holding my breath

They don't have a clue, Italy security services incl. reserves >6 per' 000, Spain incl. reserves >5 per '000, Ireland incl. reserves 4 per '000.

Reserves not being called up here.

Anyone else think the UK Govt may have ****ed up big time in their strategy

my first thoughts when I saw their plans was about a movie back in the 80's called Whoops Apocalypse

for anyone who saw it do you remember the scene where a nuclear war was imminent & the PM was going around handing out union jack umbrellas for protection?

a quote from the movie:

President Barbara Adams : You're telling me that the entire population of Great Britain went and elected a deranged psychotic to the highest office of the land?

[pause]

President Barbara Adams : Again?

Not a virusy film....but world war Z is excellent. Did like contagion too, particularly the end where you get to see the path back to initial source.

Containment (2015) is very relevant, given it deals with a lock-down sitution.

Not good but not unexpected. They really need to set up online counseling ( even get retired people doing it voluntarily) to help these people.
