Not sure what's going on with Vodafone, but Virgin Mobile in Ireland is hosted on 3's network. So, if there's a technical issue with 3, there'll likely be a technical issue with Virgin mobile too as it's relying on most of the same infrastructure.

I'd suspect it's coincidental rather than Coronavirus related.

Although you may have a BIG uptick in people running traffic on networks during the day now with work-from home and bored at home and on netflix etc..

Mobile networks going dark nationwide is something which happens very rarely. If two of them are indeed down at the same time it is very unlikely to be a coincidence.

Now it doesn’t mean it is a conspiracy either: it could just be that everyone is panicking a bit this afternoon and using their phones at the same time like never before, and that both networks went down as design issues didn’t let them handle that surge in usage which never happened before.

Had a delivery from Tesco Carlow earlier, shop had to be shut because was too packed and people were leaving with Trolleys of groceries not paid for.

We are horrible mé féiner ***** in this country deep down. Like there’s some lad at home now feeling delighted that he has 500 bottles of hand sanitiser and there’s some old people without a drop of it.

Quick question:
Is it normal for the CAC40 and Frankfurt DAX to drop 12% during an afternoons trading?
FTSE is dancing around a 10% currently (it's 9.9%).

The US opens with 8% on the negative side.

Only good news is that oil will soon be cheaper than Carlsberg.

Figures already out. +130 cases/+ 2 deaths.

What about the north. Is there a confirmed case in Enniskillen or not?

I'm not. My children's school sent out a text saying schools closed from tomorrow. Why the fúck cant they just simply say 'school will close today at 3pm/4pm and will not reopen until 29th March. Then there is no ambiguity. I now have no idea if my kids school is open or closed tomorrow.

Look, don't worry, I understand your confusion with the language used.

Okay, so your children's school is DEFINITELY CLOSED FROM TODAY AT 6pm.

There will be no school tomorrow. None.

They literally shut down vast portions of the country not 5 hours ago.

But they still leave flights from Northern Italy open with no checks.

True, it brings out the worst in people.

I think the European CDC made the call for our government. They've essentially told every EU to go full Italy.

Maybe the Brits now that they're OUT are using this as their show of freedom.

the issue is starting filming in portrait and then deciding to go landscape

So UCD is not actually closing. That is odd. Staff on twitter reporting they're to show up, business as usual to the offices also while lectures will move online.

Rumour from a ****ing idiot is that they are readying the guards and the army to impose a curfew in Limerick. I'm disregarding it as bollocks.

Super Valu delivery is 20 minutes late. Not especially hopeful for it appearing.

Shopping arrived. Only a few substitutions. Guy said the shop is like xmas and they're doing extra deliveries.

Italy will bounce back from this not a bother.

I'm so sorry that this year I and my wife won't be able to visit your amazing country again (unless something miracolous happens). It would have been our 22nd time.

It certainly is *extremely* rare.

Now if you question is to know whether they have circuit breakers to prevent sharp drops, I think they do have some but I am not sure how they get triggered and I can’t find the details. In any case if the do it doesn’t seem to be as aggressive as the ones on American stock exchanges . In the US they have been triggered a few times in the past 2 weeks (including today) and prevented such massive drops.

If he doesn't catch the virus I'm calling shenanigans!

He's been vaccinated. The rest of the world will be given access to the vaccine after the man made virus has done it's job and Americas $1.11 trillion debt to China has been written down and the Iranian government wiped out.....only (half) joking.

Lads. This is surreal. It's really happening. I don't know what to say. This is really happening. This has me more spooked than when I had to go into work the night of the Manchester bombings. I'm not even panicked. Just numb from information overload.

Sorry, there isn't any useful information but today has drained me. The contingency plans are scary.

It can also bring out the best in people. Its always easier to focus on the negative and the scary right now but if we want, we can choose to focus on the positive.

As I was collecting my youngest from school earlier I was walking past the school bus. The bus driver was just eating crisps waiting for the children to get on board, seemed like he was having a moment to himself. I dont think I have ever really looked at him or paid attention (as my children dont take the bus). But as I passed I looked nod and gave him a wave. He waved back and it was one of those "things are going to change now, good luck" kind of waves because he doesn't know me and has prob never seen me.

Most people are good, but it can feel like many are bad, probably because some of us (certainly me at times) are hardwired to focus on the negative things. I think whats happening now can lead to great things aswell, try and forge some community spirit back. We are all in this together and the best way of getting through it is by looking out for each other. Maybe for few weeks , forgetting about the rat race, economies, stupid arguments, politics, maybe this can be a good thing for us to reassess how we have been living. Regadless of what happens, we all have a chance to spend some quality time with the ones we probably take for granted.

Grim. Drastic actions needed in Spain.
