    For a lot of people, it's going to be keeping their kids from going mental around the house, there won't be time to work from home or sit down and do anything for more than half an hour.

    There will be many sets of twins called Corvo and Corona.

    My brother's a self-employed musician so his employment prospects aren't looking good for the next month and my mother works as a tour guide on cruise ships so is expecting her next few gigs to be cancelled.

    No matter what it won't be just a month. Hotels, restaurants and bar will close as a result of this and not reopen. Cruise company may very well be gone for good but some will survive but the industry will have a lower demand.

    How we travel will probably be permanently changed in the same way after 9/11 it did.

I'd bet the farm that in a few supermarkets around the country infected and contagious individuals have been in this melee and have infected others.

    It's exactly what the Taoiseach said not to do.

    Probably for a nursing home or something like that.

    But if not, I wouldn't be surprised...

    Do children not play video games anymore? If I was stuck inside as a child I could easily sit by a game for days and that was when they were really repetitive and just got faster

    Everyone plays them now, but kids also run around a lot. If you're stuck with children who were in playschool or primary school you're **** out of luck when they get the zoomies.

    I was wondering about this too. The irony of it was not lost on me :D

    The Lidl I was in this morning was largely fine - some gaps the oddest of which was eggs. Not an egg in the place.

    What's it to be, folks?

    Writing the novel or watching porn?

    Monopoly, Scrabble, or online gambling?

    Paint the house? Dig the garden?

    Sit worrying about the job, or lep into the bed and do it like rabbits?

    Plans, please!

    Arguments galore.

    Big spike in divorce rates on the way!

    Lidl in Clondalkin was crazy. Security stopping people coming in. Not a scrap of bread and milk. Everyone buying water. Big car crash outside. Fire brigade and Garda to add to the atmosphere.

    Pretty sure the panic started about 30 minutes before I posted, just after the news broke from Leo in the US.

    The supply chain is fine, it's been said multiple times, however I would fear it wouldn't remain fine if this stupid behavior keeps up. Glad that I did my big shop in Aldi yesterday. Will grab milk from my local centra on the way home :)


    Good luck with that.

    Definitely. It's why I didn't get out of the car when I saw the state of the places.

    I actually feel sorry for lower income Americans here. It's easy for us to mock when we have more or less universal health care, basic health information is much easier to come by here and there is less distrust of government. In the US the disadvantaged are putty in the hands of shysters and quacks and scared poor people who cannot access virus tests may reach for any straw.


    I know someone who went on a healthcare exchange to rural Oxycontin country and his stories of ignorance resulting from disadvantage were fairly sobering.

    The eggs thing is funny. LIDL East Wall ran out of eggs yesterday.

    Drove up Church road a couple of hours ago and the LIDL car park was mental. Looked like people had abandoned cars all over the place.

    That was the age I would happily sit and play games for hours. Maybe not play school but certainly from 6 upwards but that was because games console didn't exist before then
