Include all them favelas the Brazilians created around the Northside of the city sharing bedrooms filled with bunk beds. Breading ground for coronavirus spreading

The Brazilians didn't create them. They are victims, like the rest of us, of greed at all levels.

Not everyone clogs the A&E after a night out to be fair. But those that do now should be put waaay down on the list.

Then A&E staff have to deal with aggressive drunks and fights there.

FFS. Why can't people just do the decent thing and stay the **** out of the pubs for a couple of weeks.

Is it really going to kill you lot to do it?

I know it has been asked, but my partner is a chef, where should he go to for financial support if the business shuts?

He'll have to make some dough some other way.

Spain is keeping workplaces open. And advising people to go to work.

Judy got clarify, I didn't mention workplaces. I meant shops and public spaces. Workplaces are another business.

It’s live in the studio - there was a news story about it today and how it was still going ahead. Crazy stuff.

Uneasy feeling today, sense something big approaching early next week.

Hope I'm wrong.

France going into lockdown, was not expecting that.

Monday morning i expect Ireland will follow.

tara73 · 14-03-2020 09:25PM

I'm baffled by the italian numbers. From the BNO website as now:
cases overall: 21.157 deaths: 1.441

do I get something wrong or is this a death rate of 6.8%? even if you multiply the cases with 15, as experts say the number of infected people could be 10-20 times higher than the actual confirmed cases it's still a death rate around 4.5%.
this is sickening, pardon the pun...:o

Listen lads. can ye not see the hysteria creeping in to your posts. immediately jumping to personal abuse is an obvious sign. it will solve nothing and will not lend anything to your points, but have at it if that''s what gets you through this.

biker16 · 14-03-2020 09:26PM

i think alot of people in the pubs are not living with diabetics,people with heart problems,people that have recovered from cancer...i dont care about getting the virus myself just obviously dont want to bring it home and RISK killing someone in my family circle...if they are living with people with these underlying conditions them cmon thats reckless...go to the offo and get a few cans of dutch is all im saying

But what could it be?
Closing down pubs & clubs for two months?

Spanish Eyes · 14-03-2020 09:27PM

Another thing.... let's say by some miracle pubs are told to close, there might be an even bigger trolley dash to the off licenses (I know supermarkets sell alcohol, but still).

Ration the alcohol purchases per person, just like the toilet rolls, the soap and whatever the feck people are grabbing by the dozen or more.

If they close the off sales along with the pubs there will be riots. I think.

It just suggests a lack of testing. The real number infected is probably 100k.

14-03-2020 09:27PM

I think we should stop reporting on the number of people that have it. Or at least just give a vague figure. We don’t need to know exactly how many have it and we certainly don’t need to know the locations of each case.

It’s just creating more panic and hysteria.

And that webcam in temple bar should be switched off. Too many people stressing themselves looking at it.

The less we know, the better really. People just aren’t handling it well at all.
