    Pretty sure that was just if we didnt close schools, do anything etc.
    1.9m seems ridiculously high

    So the numbers for the UK should be massive?

    Almost all pubs in Cork closing after tonight until the end of March. Extraordinary times!!

    I've heard this too from bar staff. True?

    Well done Cork pubs. Leading the way being socially responsible.

    was expecting worse figures, sympathies to the man that died , but next week when we do proper testing, we will get a better understanding of where we really are -

    Think its been the most or one of the depressing weeks of my life , every day doomsday seams worse , no Football, no rugby disstractions and of course Cheltenham should have been stopped and crowded pubs (threat of litigation might enforce proper social distancing) - Not to mention work just drying up for a long time - Oh man , its Saturday and I can't even have a drink to forget / relax(problem drinker) - and wake up tomorrow to more bad news (at least I won't be hungover

    French PM speaking now.
    Two days after Belgium, France closes bars, restaurants and cinemas.
    Still the Elections are going ahead tomorrow.

    But Italy has been in lockdown for some time now ...

    But it had spread before the lockdown.The point is to try and lockdown before the spread has taken hold.Which I would really hope we have just about done.I think we are at a tipping point at the moment.It can go either way in the next day or so, but signs are encouraging.I hope.

    ...but they deserve it

    Unlike the idiots here partying like nothing's going on.

    Ignorance is bliss.
    Body bags are needed to change these idiots minds.
    Which will be duly provided.

    For some people on this thread they are wrong because they’re British. It’s cringeworthy

    Apparently the owner of the Washington Inn in Cork has tested positive.

    I'll tell you what's selfish, expecting fit young healthy people to sit at home, bored off their holes on Paddy's weekend.

    Well fook that one. I was out last night and I'll be out tonight and probably Sunday night too.

    If I'm going to die then I want one last ride before I go.

    Well done. You went to all the effort of registering a new account and posting that to cause a bit of a row. How imaginative. I'm sure the mods have never seen that trick before......

    But Italy has been in lockdown for some time now ...

    They did it too late. It takes 4-6 weeks for and social controls to influence the case data. Important to note, it only slows the rate of growth. You may still get similar increases day on day e.g. Order of 1,000 until the growth ratio drops below 1.

    So is it completely irresponsible to go to the pub? Myself and my wife would like to go down for one, not necessarily because I'm mad for a pint but I want to support my local business. While one drink won't make it break them, I want them to still be there when this is over.

    What do we think?

    Put a 50 in an envelope and put it through the letter box.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 876 ✭✭✭ITman88


    Because the countries implemented shutdowns are coming out the other side China, Singapore, South Korea.
    Italy didn’t and took the approach the UK are taking initially.

    Singapore didn’t implement a shutdown like we are planning though. Schools and business remained open

    Dont want to fill the whole page with screen shot the link to the google has it going back to the first confirmed case which was the 16/1/2020


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 54,121 ✭✭✭✭tayto lover


    I think the Govt should shut down the airports and pubs.
    I like a drink but these are times when we need to plan for our own personal survival.

    The amount of Brit bashing here is embarrassing. You bashers have big colonial chips on your shoulders. We need unity here and let them do what they will. Cop on.

    We share part of this Island with them, of course their policies will have an effect here.

    You registered on Boards just to say that, did you?

    The Uk should unite and do what their EU neighbors are doing. They are not doing a f*cking thing.

    Their lack of actions affect the whole world not just themselves.

    Dr Colm Henry says there was one cluster of 16 confirmed cases from one travel group returning to Ireland. https://twitter.com/newschambers/status/1238534551502192640 where are they in the numbers? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2020_coronavirus_pandemic_in_the_Republic_of_Ireland

    threat of litagation to pub / landlord to enforce social distancing , would work pretty quickly in Ireland -
