In general proper hand washing is as good as using a hand sanitiser. However for people such as my mother who is in her eighties and suffering from cancer hand sanitisers can be vital. She needs to have one in her hall so that visitors make sure they don't carry in any infection.

We cannot get hold of any, but ut my local chemist told me that when they got a stock in recently people were grabbing handfuls and they were sold out in minutes.

Can I just appeal to people to be aware that if, as a healthy low risk family, they are depleting shops of hand sanitisers, many of which will remain in cupboards unused, they are depriving ill and vulnerable people and their families of a simple way of keeping a loved one safe.

Please, if stocks are replenished, don't hog them and stock pile.. Leave enough to keep ill and vulnerable n people safe.

Yesterday when crossing the road I saw in the front passenger seat of a car a stack of white paper towels so high I could see them. It was just such an odd sight. I shan't forget it as long as I live.

This panic buying makes me despair of the IQ of the general public.

So the guy on Primetime there who is in isolation in Italy but says the shops are still trading and you can buy your groceries must be lying?

My brother in law lives in Rome and says there's still plenty of fresh fruit and veg etc in the shops and markets.

There will be food...we are a nation of food exporters. Small bit of perspective is needed.

I thought they were given allocated times to go to the shops, so while shops were open, there was a limit as to how many could shop at a time.

Could be wrong though.

I've already heard of people being burnt on money that was owed to them. My friend has a business that gets subcontracted a lot, he has a team of 6 lads that help him. He's already done the work but was told tonight he's not getting paid and tough sh1t.

This has all the hallmarks of the last recession i'm afraid. I can see massive lines down the dole office like the last time.

Last recession was just a recession, there was still money in circulation this one will see most pubs/restaurants , cloth shops , car dealerships just close up till this blows over.

I wouldn't be using Italy as a way things should go.

Major flaw with that.

I don't think the Irish are understanding the concept of social distancing.

Just because you've no interest in horse racing (like me) doesn't give you the right to critcise these people.

Criticise the respective governments for allowing it to go ahead.

Some people on this forum have a very unhealthy fixation on the Cheltenham festival.
If you don’t like it, just don’t watch it. It’s that simple.

Ah here, are ye even thinking about what you're writing at all?

People are objecting because they don't like horse racing and not because of the pandemic of a highly contagious virus for which there is no vaccination or drug, and which kills?

"What business is it of yours what others do?" when what others do is very very much our business in certain respects at the moment.

"Just self isolate" - yeah just quit work.

"If you don't like it, don't watch it" - wtf? What does that have to do with fears around the spread of COVID-19?

I'm going out shortly to my local Aldi and setting a few cars on fire in the carpark, just to add to the general panic.

It closed 43 minutes before your post so the car park will be empty.

It doesn't matter how full the shelves are next week if no one is leaving their houses due to high rates of infection such as we see in northern Italy at the moment.

It's a far better idea to be in crowded shops today with 50 odd cases compared to potentially thousands of cases in a week's time.

That's good and well if people stayed at home next week, but the people who were in loading up their trolleys with weeks and weeks worth of shopping are the very ones that'll be off out next week wandering around the shops, "cause sur' what else are they supposed to do? Stay home all day??"

It won’t be serious until the lads get the digger out and bust open an Aldi or Lidl, it will be full scale Irish panic then.

He'd have to strip and go for a swim in a lake but unknown to him, the lake is beside a camp of randy lumberjacks. And they know just how to party.

So we know what the shops were like today, but what are the pubs like this evening?

The good bit about the snow and the hurricanes is that we could go to the pub and just wait it out. Now, we have to do the opposite

Would be interested how Pubs pan out.

Can't see them staying open - as filthy places anyway.

I hate to be defending FF and FG,but there is freedom of movement laws in eu,which might make banning italians very difficult to do??

We've spent last 2 years argueing over brexit,on this very issue

That being said,i do think the EU should step.in and suspend free movements as much as is viable to do so

The EU need to act fast and amend laws to suit the health crisis that is engulfing the continent. Otherwise Ireland needs to act in defiance of the EU to hell with the consequences, to hell with pleasing the European Union..
