    Someone posted earlier 10 of their housemates friends arrived from Italy last night. Sleeping bags all over.

    That might be a starting point.


    Do you believe it?

    When I look across the water, have to say I'm delighted I'm over this side.

    Good to see a lot of company's enabling their staff to work remotely with our Fintech Hubs.

    We have a good youthful population and are well dispersed. That will work in our favour.

    Mon Ireland.

    Bumping this as it's only bit of positive news I've read all day and others might have missed it. That's if the claims made by Di Maio are indeed true.

    Popped into our local Dunnes at 6 this evening for a litre of milk, the fruit and veg section was blitzed, not a spud to be had. The toilet paper thing puzzles me, maybe that's what the great unwashed use to wipe their nose instead of tissues.

    What's the difference between tissues and toilet roll at the end of the day?

    I think so too... Pregnant staff were sent home but for everyone else it’s business as usual.

    In an Aldi shop this evening and it was a bit silly. Every single bit of fruit and veg gone and 99%of the fresh meat. Food that won't keep, unless an awful lot of people have large fridges.
    Plenty of nuts and dried fruit. Excellent calorie dense food with a long shelf life. Also plenty of brown pasta and rice.
    There will be a lot of food waste next week.
    In case I'm accused of joining the panic I always do a shop on Thur evening just normal shopping. This stockpiling is idiotic, really shows how fragile a society is to any kind of shock.

    Gas to see all the decent pasta and dried fruit virtually untouched in the Dunnes where I work, guess I'll be fine!

    You just do not understand.

    They are not trying to stop the spread of this anymore they are only trying to slow it down to give hospitals a fighting chance to deal with the workload.

    The mass testing/opportunity (containment) phase has all but passed now.

    This is P2: (delay) of peak epidemic: slow and soften the curve.


    P3 & P4 to follow in later weeks.

    Ireland doesn't have a p4 ours is a 3 part strategy.

    You’re same generation as me so.

    This is BY FAR the worst of all the ones you’ve mentioned.

    I was in Lidl today (I normally shop on Thursday) and I was trolley 12 all checkouts a go go. I found my eyes filling with tears watching all the old people, alone, wandering round with one loaf of bread in a basket looking bewildered and they’ve all lived through worse than we have.

    Can't justify that your employer. The morale will be terrible and imagine if someone who could work remote infected everyone.

    I think a lot of employers won't get it until it hits closer to home sadly.

    My mother was talking about TB in the 30's today, she knew one family that lost 7 children to the disease. Her neighbour a young woman also died. They were rough times. That was Ireland when we had nothing not even hope.


    Today we have lots of resources to fight Covid and we have knowledge and lots of hope.

    Therein lies the answer to the delay in introducing serious containment. Until there is herd immunity from previously infected and recovered population and/or vaccine, it will keep coming back. Meaning that repeated containment efforts will be needed until we obtain that herd immunity.

    Early introduction of serious containment for a few infections would be counter production because it would led to fatigue against those containment efforts.

    To finish in a more positive note, the Italian prime minister indicated today that the extreme quarantine measures implemented in the first two regions in northern Italy have worked and that no new positive cases were recorded today.

    Sauce? Seems unlikely but I can't see figures per region.

    How would there be issues yet? The panic buying of food only started today. Issues with the supply chain won’t manifest immediately. The infections are increasing, Next week isn’t going to be better you are aware. People will be panic buying throughout the EU, there are so many factors that will impact supply chains. Do you really not understand what’s coming?


    The food supply chain is not going to stop. There is an emergency model already tested in China and Italy where everything stops except Hospitals, power plants, food supply chain and very few other essential things.

    Food didnt run out in Wuhan as shown in many videos.
    If anything there will be restrictions on how many people can go out shopping per household
