    And what about their near-minimum wage staff? Or keeping the rent, bills and insurance going?

    Be better if there was a creche to have your child to return to no?

    Not saying I disagree entirely. But it's not a straightforward case of refunds at all. Nobody knows.

    Well people pay for a service. It is not the parent's responsibility to pay staff.

    But Mary Lou would sort it - anyone who had the coronavirus would be kneecapped so they couldnt leave the house.
    Problem solved.

    I was supposed to be at Cheltenham this week for work for the entire week. I fell down my stairs and broke my ankle last week.

    Think my guardian angel pushed me :D

    Thats a joke but I was gutted when it happened, now I'm delighted!

    Quote him. Prove it

    "During a Feb. 28, 2020, campaign rally in South Carolina, President Donald Trump likened the Democrats' criticism of his administration's response to the new coronavirus outbreak to their efforts to impeach him, saying "this is their new hoax." During the speech he also seemed to downplay the severity of the outbreak, comparing it to the common flu."

    So libraries, council buildings, car testing etc. Are these open, are these public institutions?

    Why?

    This is necessary.

    It's not gonna be nice but it's gotta be done.

    I know it's necessary and frankly, for me and my son, it actually is going to be quite nice. I've been preparing for this for some time and have a range of great at home activities planned for the next while. I have been hoping for this to happen and believe it's a positive step given what we are facing, albeit possibly a week too late. But I guess it actually happening is still a horrible shock. I can't imagine what it's like for people who've been going through life blithely ignorant for the last few weeks.

    Crèches should double their prices because of the risk and extra work load.

    No one is winning anything in this thing I am afraid.

    Talk of redeploying people in CS to do contact tracing. Would seem sensible

    Could this not harm us more, we might get a lot more people from Europe coming to Ireland to fly to the USA now or am I missing something? A lot of airlines going to hit the wall here and a lot of jobs at risk.

    Its a disgrace Joe!

    I really feel for those who can't work from home, whose employers have not implemented any contingency, and now have to stress over what they'll do with any children they have in childcare.

    Maybe they could take some personal responsibility?

    Personal responsibility is a thing.

    There are no excuses.

    Obviously im not expert but surely this will still be around on the 29th of march , I reckon for months ,

    Will the kids at home not be in more contact with different adults than they would be on a school day ,
    Lets face it they all won't be kept in ,
    So then when they go back on the 29th will they not be super spreaders ?

    The US restriction prohibits anyone flying who was in the schengen area in the last 14 days regardless of where they're flying out from. So they can't just travel to Dublin and on to the US without waiting 2 weeks first.

    They are classed as childcare facilities, no?

    They will be closed.
