I’m going back to work tomorrow. Did 6 days of isolation, that’s it done, tried to get a doctors note and a test done but couldn’t get it. Will be using public transport and shopping as normal.
Pubs open, mixed messages from National Television station and government.

Why did you isolate?

My gym was closed. The local pub is open.
Says a lot.

Well the pubs won’t close unless ordered to. Once it’s less than 100 people in a pub which in the limit then technically they aren’t in breach of the rules from yesterday. The buses aren’t empty btw and people weren’t keeping 2 metres distance from each other either. My local chipper was open today and yesterday and so was my local super valu.

Have you any sympathy for an overwhelmed health service in a time of unprecedented national crisis? What a selfish fool you are.

This kind of reckless behaviour must be called out!

Is your gym still charging?

They say they'll update members in due course. Hoping they'll postpone fees. They may look to wait till the end of the month and see what the state of things is then. Beyond that I wouldn't think they'd expect members to pay into a new month if they can't open.

Anybody who has gone into a busy pub tonight needs their head examined. They are literally risking the lives of family members. If they were told going for a pint increases the chances of catching the virus, they still probably wouldn't care

Common sense isn't so common.

completely agree people with no clue to simple maths lets alone biology become wise on boards, scale is massive factor, someone said china closed many cities etc, the number was like smth like 40 million in country of 1.4billion.


then raving about how are we behind from italy or other countries, pure speculation, we might have 200cases now or so roughly speculating here but whats important are the critical ones, as speculating numbers we might all get it, this 3 week off joke wont make it magically dissapear, id be worried only about those elderly who have to battle it alone, rest well know if they suffer with any conditions and most can get help.


as what struck me yesterday was picture someone put up of elderly lady shopping in empty store most likely nipped of internet, but sad reality is small % that actually need help with this, as age wise all the brain heads in the world only know for sure the older person is the higher chances of complications, rest is a coin toss.

I'm not an anxious person usually but honestly it's kinda ****íng with me a bit. The thing I find weirdest is how invisible the virus is. You have no idea where it is.

It still feels like calm before the storm. Pots only starting to simmer.



Hope I'm very wrong.

I could easily see pubs and restaurants being forced to close by this day week or limiting their opening hours depending on how the virus spreads and the confirmed cases number. I mean wasn’t the steps the Irish government took yesterday kind of the first step with it implied that more shutdowns will happen if and when they are needed ?

The 100 limit is nonsense imo. My gym is huge and might have 25 to 35 people at busy times. Once your sanatising as you go your pretty safe.
The local pub is pretty small so even 60 people would be in each other's skin they are so close.

Where gyms told they had to close or is it their own choice? I'm not clear on that myself.

I no longer drink , but am having a really tough time dealing with reality 24/7 - people are getting trashed cause reality does not look good right now - but wish they just got it from off-licences and Supermarket - Nightclubs and crowded Temple bar type pubs are lethal places right now - but I do know most in the nightclub indusrty as well as Entertainment/Gigs are facing a very very dark future , hopefully and it will, rise again when the time is right to party.

Exactly, if you have an issue with alcohol, just get it in an off license or supermarket ffs, you’ve had plenty of warning. These knuckle draggers you see on that screenshot couldn’t give a fûck or are to stupid to want to or simply understand... the owners of said establishments are out and out ..... too, all of them multi millionaires many times over but just compelled to pack em in and pack the tills some more... authorities as if not more culpable, watching on.
