I just don't understand this.

The government are in charge. They need to act in this regard. No one is breaking the law by going for a drink.

If the government "close down" the pubs is it against the law for the pubs to open then? Or are they just asked to close. Like can laws be brought in that quick or how does it work?

Uncomfortable reading from Holland.
16 year old in coma on ICU due to Covid19.
2 remarks.. it is the only child on ICU with Covid19, but another article reports half the ICU Covid19 patients are under 50.

https://www.rtlnieuws.nl/nieuws/nederland/artikel/5056536/sehraz-breda-coronavirus-16-intensive-care-besmet-covid19

Have you a link to the other article or is it the tweet about France? A single stat without context isn't much use and muddies the waters. Percentages of each age group's total cases in ICU is more helpful than a breakdown of ICU cases per se.

I don’t know if they made a “mistake”, in terms of not expecting this.

They issued the warnings, and they are being widely ignored by a lot of people.

They will use that now as justification for harsher measures. If they’d gone straight to it, there’d have been these gob****es out partying now screaming bloody murder.

Obviously, they still will. But for a lot of people, it will be seen as “we tried to let he take some responsibilities for yourselves, and it’s not just you ignored it, you actively did the opposite and laughed, like bold children. So we HAVE to act stronger now”.

Anyone with half a brain can see from the last election that the lunatics have taken over the asylum.

Any anger about this should be directed at the government. No one is breaking the law by going to the pub.

You really get the sense that people are lashing out at everyone except the government, who have been completely reactive and have fcuked up massively so far, the Italian fans flying into Dublin being one example of a monumental fcuk up.

greenfield21 · 14-03-2020 10:27PM

Can someone post that chart showing that no one in Italy has died so far under the age of 50. That's quiet intersting.

THe same minister keeps these pubs open? Close them down or stop moaning.

Stevieluvsye · 14-03-2020 10:28PM

I have been sanctioned here for what i said was true over the last week but because of a threat of a forum ban i'll not give out any more numbers.

Realistically the reality of the situation will be somewhere in the middle. The panic merchants and the ostriches with their head in the sand are one side of the same coin truth be told

We are looking at a worse case scenario of 50% of all healthcare workers been out of work due to contact with patients with coronavirus in the next week. Things are bad.

How did that happen? Seriously

Where are the bloody controls.

What a bunch of aholes the Brits are. Trying to be different for the sake of it it seems. Since the idiotic Brexit they have collectively disappeared up their own holes.

I think the whole world knows which countries are not to be trusted on their figures. Russia is near the top of the list along with Turkey.

Figures in Thailand are not to be trusted either. They are charging a lot for testing and much of the population can’t afford to be tested. Awful approach.

tom1ie · 14-03-2020 10:29PM

Right. Lets say the country’s health service will be hopelessly overwhelmed and the death rate starts going Italian.
If I have symptoms, the Hse aren’t gonna be any help.
I’ll probably have a fever so I need to take medication to try and combat this.
I’ve read on here ibuprofen can have a bad effect coupled with having with c19, so what do I take?
Paracetamol?
Aspirin?
Please, people that don’t believe this scenario will happen just hold your tongue on this post and humour me for a bit.

Id say they would just remove their licenses. Then people are just gunna buy cans and have house parties.
We live in a fairly free country not some poxy dictatorship.

Ministerial decree would suffice.

Because there's only been 1 reported recovery. You do realise this disease takes weeks to recover from and be eliminated from the body yes? Germany has 4,500 cases and 45 recovered i.e. 1%. France has 12 out of 4,400 0.3%. Ireland is running at the same rate. Put the tinfoil hat away please.

No tinfoil hat, regardless of how good that quip sounds, the point is, which you seem to have missed, is that it has NOT been reported. Why?

According to the above site, the first north italy cases came via Holland ....

Take a look to digits,how many new cases been discovered per week in Italy and in Ireland or UK.It was massive infected people invasion.

It does. But isn't a pity we are still so socially immature as a society that it has to be done that way.

Its been obvious for years that many Irish people care nothing for others. Its all about them. Rules apply to others, not them. If you say anything they get agrressive and foul mouthed. Those that are parents are juat passing it on to the offspring.

Its as much of a pandemic as any virus.

briany · 14-03-2020 10:32PM

We may have to put men on the border, temporarily, if this British strategy goes ahead.

I'd be interested in how the lockdown operates in rural areas?

Will it just be tractors with slurry spreaders and milk tankers on the road? Wouod going out for a cycle be allowed?

Would marts be held?

Maybe checkpoints on the way into towns, and show that your going to supermarket?

farmers have to feed their livestock so they'll be out and about and agri stores will have to remain open to some level to supply said feed...
also tractors will have to get out to plant veg soon

Danno · 14-03-2020 10:33PM

For all the ones giving out about the pubs...

https://www.dublinairport.com/flight-information/live-arrivals

Metal tube full of folks coming in from all over the place including hotspots. Not just tonight, but all day every day for the last month since we found out about Coronavirus.

The pubs at least will be largely empty for most of the week. They'll all be congregating in the Tesco isles looking for bog roll then.

The amount of "holier than thou" looking down their noses at a small crowd in the pub is ridiculous.

Closing the pubs is a kin to locking the stable door after the horse has bolted.

It's about the need to self isolate for 14 days which could collapse the service.
.ICU is been prioritised and staff are been trained up to cover it. Again. Important to minimise spread at this time.

The extreme centrist is just as intellectually bereft and irrational as the two types you've just mentioned, you're still taking your cues from others. Why not try actually looking at the facts and make up your own mind.

Scaremongering again. Did you not get banned for this already.

NIMAN · 14-03-2020 10:34PM

So the news is mentioning people packing out pubs.

I think its time the government did the decent thing and order non essential businesses to close, because we are lacking personal responsibility in the country.

For a start do you know how many people would be needed and the kind of infrastructure to be put in place?!
