    At what stage do people take personal responsibility for their actions.

    These are pubs, everyone in it is an adult. At what point to people grow the fukc up and take not of what's unfolding in front of them. I'm sure plenty in that pub has elderly parents, grandparents or at risk relative they could come into contact with in the coming days.

    There is a certain element of people in Ireland that will do anything for craic, like the social media brigade that want to capture everything to post for likes. The kind of people that do completely braindead stuff on nights out to capture it on instagram or snapchat to be the big lad or girl as the case may be .

    It's an absolutely rotten part of our culture that should be f*cking called out at every opportunity. This isnt today or tomorrow sh!te like this had been happening.

    Just look at twitter, Instagram or snapchat on a sunday morning for bull like this every weekend .

    I have not darkened the door of a pub since we were advised not to (couple of weeks) nor will I.

    I never said I had either. yet everyone jumps to hysterics immediately. that is the point I am making. Getting the pitchforks out and marching on Temple bar or wherever solves nothing.
    Direction needs to come from government.

    If you posted something more rational like this from the beginning maybe people wouldn't jump down your throat.

    The direction has come from government and predictably addicts are ignoring that direction.

    Spain officially goes into lockdown from Monday
    It will be effective from Monday at eight in the morning. It is allowed to go to work, buy food or medicine, as well as return to the place of residence and travel to attend to the elderly, minors and dependents. But Sánchez has warned that "circulation must be done individually" unless a dependent person is accompanied.

    19% over 65.
    But I think we have higher % of people with cystic fibrosis and asthma than Italy.

    Personal responsibility.

    Something as a nation has vanished.

    Everyone deserves a house from the state just because...

    Yup, state expected to pull them out of any hole they fall into, why take any responsibility on board?

    This is what Italian doctors have been saying for weeks.

    Only there have been zero deaths under 30 in Italy

    Absolutely zero


    Yes some have been hospitalised but have all recovered.

    It may be worth starting one in after hours, economic effects are completely disregarded in this. Very one sided discussion

    They are not disregarded, they are outweighed by more immediate concerns by almost every government on the planet that gets growth in cases.

    The number with CF is very low, just over 1k.

    Have a look at this:

    https://www.lemonde.fr/societe/article/2020/03/14/face-au-coronavirus-le-ministre-de-la-sante-recommande-de-ne-pas-prendre-d-ibuprofene_6033095_3224.html


    It's a French article, so I can only read it in Google Chrome.

    Apparently, ibuprofen may not be recommended for home treatment of Coronavirus. Something about aggregating symptoms or something.


    Ibuprofen is usually my go to medicine when I don't feel well.

    I say Monday as well. The CMO was asked this evening when any next steps would be announced and he said they were meeting Monday morning and I'd be shocked if there wasn't a full lockdown which will mirror the partial one until march 29th and see where things are then.

    How can you say it's not an old person's illness when the mortality rate for older people is so high compared to younger people.

    My friend's grandmother collapsed today and she wasn't able to go to A&E to be treated because of this stupid virus. She has Alzheimers :'(
    :( Ah jaysus TC. I was a carer for someone with that and I'm so glad I'm not any more, because I know my anxiety about that kinda thing and homecare arrangements and respite breaks and basic shopping and the rest would be revving up. Never mind the district nurses and the homecare folks who work hard helping people in the community. I'm in the luckiest category and don't I bloody know it. Not married, no kids, family are very extended, have a roof over my head and can financially weather this emergency. I really feel for my friends and folks in general with kids, often with big debts and those with elderly and/or chronically ill rellies, or chronically ill themselves. :( It's piss easy for me to go full hermit prepper. Like I say, I'm bloody fortunate in this.

    Many worry about Artificial Intelligence. I worry far more about Organic Idiocy.
