The government action regarding illness benefit is good news. However what happens if you have to go into self isolation because of exposure, have they addressed that?

And mortgage, rent and loan repayments, a lot of people don’t have savings to cover these unfortunately.

That is unfortunate. But people still have time, maybe a couple of months if they are lucky. Prepare now. Prepare to loose income. Take steps to ensure your not caught short.
I'm not saying build a bunker, more take steps like you take out insurance before a holiday. Do something ffs.

I imagine most people have heard rumours of people in their area who have it, rumours going around here of a local doctor who's infected with the virus, hoping it's just false rumours but it's still scary to hear

I couldn't imagine the Queen of England or Prime Minister being abroad during whatever national celebrations they have.

It seems to be an Irish insecurity that we have and need to suck up to Americans.

Yep, it's pathetic. Can you imagine Macron in the white house on Bastille day.

Can you restrict your loathing of Ireland to just self loathing?

From the Guardian:
All of Italy will be placed under the lockdown conditions thus far imposed upon the so-called “red zone” in the north of the country, the Italian prime minister Giuseppe Conte has said. The restrictions will include banning all public gatherings and preventing all movement other than for work and emergencies. According to the Reuters news agency, he has said the decision was necessary to protect Italy’s most vulnerable citizens and that the right course of action now is for people to stay at home.

I’m eating paracetamol like skittles, just following this thread.

Italy taking the Chinese approach. It's the only way.

Kermit.de.frog · 09-03-2020 09:47PM

Italy is being quarantined.

Paracetamol limited to one pack in Tesco.
Don't wait too long to have an appropriate amount at hand, but don't hoard!

Legally you are limited to purchasing one item containing paracetamol. This is a legal restriction and has always been in place.

hawkwing · 09-03-2020 09:47PM

Paracetamol is limited to one pack

Exactly!

And not to mention the cost of this embarrassment. And most Americans have little or no interest or information about Ireland.

NIMAN · 09-03-2020 09:48PM

Strange there are no cases in the nw of ireland.

I know it's only a matter of time.

Maybe the virus is making it's way up the crap roads to the nw! Takes longer to get here.

No, you have me mistaken,
What I'm getting at is, if someone gets the virus as it is now and recovers, thus your body has built up some sort of immunity, would that person be in a better position if the virus mutates into something more dangerous,
Just a pure" out of interest " question.
Believe me the last thing I am doing is fantasizing about this getting worse, trout season starts soon and i certainly don't want to be hold up at home for god knows how long.

I doubt the trout could catch it from you.

I would say that it might give some protection if the mutation was small. Then again corona cold viruses don't give much immunity as the ymutate.

I understand why they have to do that. But jesus that's a big call to make.

I heard it reached as far as Leitrim and decided the place looked too desolate, bombed out and depleted and turned around.

The country will erupt. Did you see how they reacted when they couldn’t visit prisoners on C4 news?

I may be wrong but I think that those who have been prepping well ahead of time have done so much more rationally than those that will descend upon their local Tesco the moment we hit a big increase in infected.

Indeed yes! I think folk were equating getting extra stocks in gradually week by week with what most of us see as " stockpiling" ie two trollies full of toilet rolls or pasta . Maybe we need a new name for this? eg provisioning?

And in fact we have helped by doing it early as shops have had time to restock.

Inevitable. But their version of lockdown means you can go about your business anyway. Take the train, bus, drive and feck off to wherever you want, just don't go to the airport.

Or does it mean that?
