    Thursday morning next week, one week from now, how many diagnosed cases and deaths from Covid-19 in the ROI?

    I'll go for 95 and 2.
    Not a million miles away.

    Point being we had a good idea where this was going this time last week.

    So the Uk basically contradicted what we did today re closing schools saying it’s too soon and that people will be fatigued by the time it’s really necessary

    UK phrase was the “reasoning behind school closure is weak”. PHET quoting EU Disease control centre advice was that social distancing should be entered into quickly rather than delayed.

    UK position seems economy driven and an acceptance of large numbers of deaths among vulnerable adults. The argument that people will get fatigued doesn’t seem very strong.

    I’d say most Irish people are very glad that sovereignty rests in Dublin, not London.

    Right on par with terrifying skies over Dublin. It feels weird.

    No. Italy has 60 million people. 12,000 cases. 0.02% of the population

    That percentage of our population, 4.7 million, is 940 cases.

    We will be at 100 by tomorrow.
    And this is only starting.

    Tescos Clarehall closed down, too many people in shop. Crazy videos doing the rounds on wotsap. Mad S**t.

    was that the one with the q going around all the sides?

    The panic buying we witnessed today was a perfect illustration of mob idiocy in plain view. A mass gathering of panicked morons all milling together, completely oblivious to the fact that in their panic they have exposed themselves and others to whatever carriers of this virus are in the community. But they have their bog roll and that's fine. The fear of missing out and the herd mentality. :rolleyes:

    Walked into dunnes on George's street to see if I could pick up a few small bits.

    Rammed with people. Everyone standing on top of each other in the queues, loads of people coughing away.

    I probably wandered about longer than I should have before bailing and heading home.

    I don't see how people think the shops won't be open or stocked over the next few weeks.

    Thousands are dead in Both China and Italy
    Spain, Germany and France look to be heading the same way
    We have been blessed with a look into the future, maybe just maybe, shutting the shops WILL be necessary to stop the spread?
    It will be a miserable lock in if you have not stocked up, but go ahead hold on to your few Euros, wont be able to eat them.

    If they shut the shops then countless people will starve to death, rendering the whole thing pointless.

    Give it some thought

    Nothing is going to reopen on the 29th March.

    As I said UCD have told all students the rest of the semester including exams, will be done through distance learning.

    Now at least 24,000 cases in mainland Europe, almost 1/3 of China's epidemic total in about a week. There were almost no cases in Europe 14 days ago, just a few hundred in Italy.

    Well it is the conservative party, probably delighted that they finally got their answer to the pension crisis.

    A glimmer of hope on a very very sad day ...
    Two weeks after the first 10 towns in northern Italy were declared a "red zone" and put under lockdown, he said they had no new infections.

    Just 3 of the 27 associated with travel.

    Most are local transmission and 2 community transmission.

    When is the press conference?

    Dr Holohan said he will not give daily details of locations and will instead issue a weekly region by region bulletin
