    Imagine being a Liverpool fan. 30 years. 30 years. And it’s the biggest anticlimax in history. They won’t even get to experience it as a collective. I actually don’t like it though, it’s funny but actually shows the human consequence of this, something that brings joy to people, now deprived of it. First world problem but sympathize none the less

    The horror that any country would ban travel from Ireland is kinda funny considering the number of posters who wanted us to ban travel from certain countries.

    Also snow here.

    Also many hours past bedtime!

    I reckon the ban it won't stay as cast iron shut tomorrow, feels like a unilateral move that no-one saw coming and hasn't been fully thought through. A total ban of people and cargo feels OTT.

    But, yeah, some change from The Don essentially not giving a shyte a few days ago.

    If you think that’s bad, the NBA season has been suspended. Seems to be of more concern on US network TV.

    The baseball season is due to start in a few weeks too isn`t it? Will that be suspended as well I wonder.

    As a united fan...this is like the universe's way of dampening the effects of there win... but pool winning in the first place was a sure sign of the apocalypse starting we should have known.

    Nah all jokes aside it ll be pretty **** for em.

    CNN are ripping them over the announcement.

    That are also not permanent resident/citizens of the US.

    Utterly moronic. Pure politics.

    I anticipate it will be delayed. I have a call with a client on friday that sponsors the brewers so I am likely to find out then.

    That's the advantage of having preclearance. They can refuse passengers at source.

    All the eye-rolling in the world doesn't change the fact that people still need to pay their rent.

    Not if they’re dead they don’t. People still don’t seem to be understanding quite where this could end up unless we take decisive action as a nation and as individuals.

    Europe should ban all flights from the US immediately, and strand Leo over there.

    Speaking politically if this does happen Ireland will have a very split loyalty and ultimately must act unilaterally and resist.

    We can and should close the borders to hotspots, for sure Italy, particularly affected cities, maybe impose quarantine. But blanket banning the US is a step too far. It would destroy any economy the 99.5% of survivors have left to enjoy.

    So the ban is on anyone who has been in Europe recently, not just EU citizens. Even a Brazilian or a South African who has visited a Schengen country cannot fly on to the US.
