If you hear orange warning, dublin busses all running, etc, you might think as a manager/owner that closing a business is overreacting. Straight after the 9 o'clock news I heard my 3 elderly neighbours clearing their garden of furniture, they obviously thought nothing of it until the late announcement. I got the all :rolleyes: from the missus this morning when buying batteries, charging backup batteries, and telling her to cancel a trip from Dublin to Drogheda tomorrow at 3pm, mostly from just reading this forum. Yes there'll still be employers out there that'll force employees in, in non-essential roles, but the warnings of how serious this is were quite late to the anyone offline, which can be a lot of people on a sunday.

That doesn't make the problem right, but it does limit what any government can do in a proactive way to fix it (it's basically a problem that cannot ever be eradicated to zero). The 3 Little Piggies cafe in Cork is closed for business tomorrow, but they are opening their doors to any homeless person who wants to take shelter through the worst of the storm, and will give them food and tea while they are there, which is a very commendable thing to do.

Calling in sick won't work when it's obviously a lie and no illness is involved. Obviously our health and safety is far more important than a job, but people are concerned about their financial situation and paying the bills too, and they don't all have the luxury of just not going in.
