    All those returning from Cheltenham should be asked to self isolate for 2 weeks
    otherwise it could undo the benefit of the new measures the Government announced this morning

    Just back from my local Tesco. Completely cleared out of stock. I was an hour waiting in line.

    Never, ever, underestimate the stupidity of the masses. Ever.

    Its amazing to me that as this was inevitable, people just sat and waited until Leo made it official despite products like bog roll, tissues, cornflakes, porridge having long shelf lives and they're thing you'd get through anyway.

    And it will be restocked overnight. Supplies are not “cut”.

    Yep - I have my supplies at home which I gradually built up over the past 2 or 3 weeks.

    Many of the people who were saying doing this was stupid 2 weeks ago will now probably be rushing to the shops; while those of us who planned earlier will be having tea at home. I don’t expect they will thank us for having spread across the load on the supply chain and reduced the chance of panic related incidents at the shops though.

    Same here, only thing i don't have enough of is booze. Will head down to Tesco just before closing time :)

    On Classic Hits 4FM, callers phoning in with panic shopping stories - all since Leo's announcement.
    Tesco Clarehall shut for 30 mins for H&S issues due to amount of people inside and outside.
    Lidl Portmarnock milk supplies gone...add your own.

    This is so fckin stupid.

    Just watching rte news there now.
    Only them and there reporters can manage to put such a negative tone to the measures that were interduced.
    People knew that these measures were coming

    Are the schools going to re-iterate to students how important it is for them to stay away from towns/cities/shopping centres etc to prevent the virus spreading to elderly/sick in their neighbourhoods?? Nopoint having 500,000 teenagers off school and wandering around in hoards, theyd be better off in school at that rate.

    Well I'm glad for you guys the Irish govt have come good - and doing things too early may have been counterproductive anyway as you know how silly people are. Remains to be seen how UK deals with current state of play.

    I was mocked to the high hilt for my "prediction" when i sent those PM's by people here last night. My other "prediction" was re the number of cases.

    Unfortunately start now to watch the real numbers come in now we are in lockdown as they are calling it.

    PS
    They were not predictions

    It's a surfactant. It kills bacteria and viruses and is far more effective than alcohol based hand sanitisers.

    Take that as information from a scientist that used surfactants to rupture cells as part of a project. We used it because it was better than alcohol.

    Yep. The main reason why labs use IPA as a disenfectant is because it doesn't leave residue behind, but all doctors and anyone in a clean room will wash their hands with soap and water.

    You can always try Asian supermarkets, Polish supermarkets etc, they should be less crowed and stock lever should be good.

    This spike in panic and rush to the shops was inevitable and well known to most who have been following events.

    It was always going to go from containment to delay phase and based on this I prepared sensibly over the last couple of weeks. Nothing drastic, nothing crazy but enough.

    This phase of delay will hopefully be successful but i will continue to sensibly prepare for the coming weeks in case it escalates to the third phase

    I would rather starve than eat the Polish cabbage stuff that comes in a glass jar. :pac:


    Joking aside - not a bad idea.

    Exactly. I knew this would happen. Been buying a little bit extra for a few weeks now but had planned on the weekend shop tonight. I'll get by until the restock.
