We have a family dinner planned for Monday. 8 people. Two of them over 60.

Would you go?

Personally no. I think all gatherings are pointless can't enjoy them anyway would feel uneasy. I'm not calling to my dads house I shop check in ring few times a day etc. Won't be calling. Think its best to distance and stay home.

Our biggest tourist attraction is a brewery.

What does that tell you about this country's relationship with alcohol?

Serious health problems and other issues at home and pretty humiliating abroad to be honest.

The stereotypes are earned, not given.

My sister was let go from Guinnesses this morning. They're closed for the foreseeable.

Another restaurant said this to a friend of mine. This other restaurant is closing down now as they were told to.

Ok...so one pico isn't closing down as per their own twitter...but this other unnamed one is?

You need an isolation hospital and accomodation on site for healthcare workers otherwise they become a vector for further spread.

The government need to identify such a facility asap.

That would be Thurles fever hospital, later renamed Thurles District Hospital

They closed it in 1988.

Restaurants are being told to close down, I think for 2 weeks but this will probably be extended.

No point of booze bashing at the min, if country's favorite pastime was tiddlywinks and the were allowed to hop from one venue to another while keep the numbers I each to under 100 It would be the same issue.

Thousands will be out Tuesday do the same, with plastic cups on the street.

It madness have these places open on the busiest day of the year.

I read Le Monde on this earlier. It is very important to remember that Ibubrofen is only contra indicated when you have a fever, and/or C19.

I will continue to take it for my dodgy knee. Works well on that front.

If you are asymptomatic you will not have a fever either IMV.

Someone far more qualified than me needs to tell us exactly what the dangers are with Ibubrofen, and quickly, otherwise those who need it for certain conditions will not take it and suffer unnecessarily, when it might be perfectly safe to do so.

Is there a Hse twitter account or something this question could be asked? So many people take nuerofen.

Definitely a strange one. It's been an ongoing issue in all reports thus far from all countries. The time of sickness is different for everyone, recovery of a 22 year old could be 5 weeks. It could be 6 months for a 60 year old. But who says your officially recovered anyways?
All said I'm just trying to genuinely answer your question. I'd say it's somewhere in the confusion of the not knowing between all parties involved.

I suppose more of a rhetorical question. I put the same question to somebody "in the know" this evening and was told it was for GDPR reasons. Never heard such bull**** in my entire life!!

That's like something from television. Insane.

We are going through some tough times now, with more to come undoubtedly. Most would never have felt the anxiety from this real and present danger to themselves and family before and may result in future mental health issues. The British had Vera Lynn during the difficult times of WW2, with songs like We'll meet again, can I suggest a really old song my grandfather used to play, which I felt uplifting

With Patricks day around the corner imagine the pressure the government is under from the VFI and the like, pub closure from Wednesday on perhaps,because of money.

You'll be glad to know it was a repeat and JR is never live in any case. But yes we are taking it less seriously than you guys I feel. Plenty of panic shopping, before going out to places with huge crowds. Sigh.

On a lighter note, Frey Bentos pies are still delish

How can that be done "simply", pray tell? And what would we do about all of these revoked licences once this has passed?

I'd advocate a government of national unity and a state of emergency giving the government widespread powers including powers to shutdown or keep open certain businesses.

They're saying until further notice on Twitter

This is the sort of news people should be talking about, businesses closing and people losing their jobs with no end in sight for when they may get their job back

Rather than a bunch of tourists (probably lots of Italians) in Temple Bar

Some of us have, you can check back my posts. Too lazy to c+p at the moment.

We are not all a bunch of raving lunatics with an axe to grind. All many want is a clear DECISION by Government and soon.

We are a bit ahead of other European countries in this and if someone, somewhere took decisive action to go into lockdown on Monday say, together with income supports etc, I reckon the vast majority would be very relieved, and would comply.

The Ireland as island had great opportunity start great level of quarantine once virus started in China ! Bot government as usual did nothing ! The country could close airports,ports and keep restaraunts and pubs open.Now they has lock up everything and have sick people on island !
