So let me get this straight.

When the virus started in China in Sept 2019, you think the government should have stopped all travel into the country?

Is that what you're saying?

Yes ! The sooner,The better ! They did not use opportunity of island ! And they still has to lock up country now ! Having sick people on board already and closed pubs and bussnises ! When they could only lock up airport and port since october !

We are not an isolated island though this country is a major tourist attraction all through out the year never mind the fact that it's our national holiday in just over 72 hours.

Almost 100% guaranteed that government will announce more stringent “lockdown” measures ahead of St Patrick’s Day, similar to what was announced in France and Spain today. My opinion.

There are 2 countries on this island, which means there will be 2 different approaches to solving any problems.

A thread to name and shame institutions/shops that are profiteering during this crisis might be beneficial.
I mean by the selling, well above normal cost, for essentials. Well above what they have payed for them.

I have read just now one (I will try and substantiate) Galway retailer hammering on cost of sanitiser.
There may be the opportunity for us to to boycott these retailers in future. The bottomfeeders on Adverts selling (as is their right) dustmasks has sickened me to no end. The buyers are likely the very anxious and those with loved ones with high-risk underlying illnesses.

Don't be quick to judge the shop, they could be getting robbed at the wholesalers themselves. Pharmacist posted earlier that prices had massively jumped for stuff

Try to stay calm, stress can have quite a negative effect on your immune system.

You are an idiot.

I will be adding you to an ignore list to avoid any more of your nonsense.

God I'm sick of hearing about the goddamn pub and toilet rolls!

Andrea B. · 14-03-2020 11:20PM

That is a valid question. I would hope that he gwas getting screwed, but knowing the retailer and behavior in past, I suspect not.

Think I'll unsubscribe from this thread for my own sanity. Grown adults who need the state to close the pubs for them because they're either too selfish or too thick to follow guidelines. It won't be these gob****es that suffer though, it'll be the poor vulnerable unfortunates they infect. Thankfully, I know plenty of frontline workers that restore my faith in humanity while johnny dickhead is sitting in the pub thinking how great he is.

Mick Wallace throwing his tuppence in talking about immigrants need to be let in more than we currently do now.

Sorry guys, only read last two pages so far, but glad I did because I didn't know about neuofen for the kids. Will keep them on calpol.

Anyway, iv been running a fever of over 38.5 since last Monday, I really didn't take notice until Thursday when the schools closed and I had a tightness on my chest and on Friday I rang my doctor. She said OK, sounds like corona and you might have it but the criteria to be tested was for travelling abroad etc. I told her I had work Saturday and she said no, noway isolate for 2 weeks and keep the kids away from my mam for a month or 6 weeks.

The criteria changed at 6pm last night and I rang the South doc and they said they were referring me for a test and someone would call me back. My work want me to get tested to rule it out but iv heard nothing yet. My boss said stay out the weekend and check temp Mon and see how I feel.

I'm in it myself. And I stand by the 'invincible' cohort. It's an age thing, mortality is far from many of their minds.

What happens when the pubs run out of toilet rolls?

Ibuprofen does tend to cause problems with lungs. Many asthmatics are advised not to take ibuprofen for this reason.

Given the relationship between covid19 and lungs (it kills through pneumonia) I would want to talk to a medical professional before using ibuprofen if you suspect you may have covid19.

Yes, you are right re asthma and lung stuff.

I'm not qualified to say anymore, but we probably need someone who is to get the message out anyway, in the middle of everything else going on.

I'm also in that age group. What was wrong with the posters comment?

They're right, there is a fraction of 18-42 who regard themselves as invincible. (Not to say there's not in other age groups)

But it is predominantly in that heathy, agile group. "won't happen to me" types. I don't see what's offensive about someone stating that?

tbh i'm quite happy to stay at home. spent a lot of money building and fitting out my house with all the mod cons and over a third of my income goes to the mortgage so i'm happy to have extra time in it to actually enjoy it.

You have 300,000 in the 18-42 years category. There's a cohort of this group who regard themselves as the 'invincibles'. If 0.2% of this group die that's 6,000. So there will be some cocky p*icks who are in for a ride awakening.

600 not 6000

Yep. There's always some who profit out of misery.

Anyone else se the pic on twitter of a bunch of egits dressed in disposable overalls and masks and one guy dressed as a bottle of corona queuing to get into the temple bar? Tell me that's not real.

National Drinking Day will be an unusual affair this year, I'm sure there will be a run on the offies tomorrow just in case they close offies and pubs.. I can see lots of street and estate drinking hopefully the weather stays dry.

Tried to stay away from it this evening but WhatsApp groups are lit all day and this was probably already posted but what the **** is wrong with people

https://twitter.com/SimonHarrisTD/status/1238929572701384704?s=19

Selfish bastards putting the lives of elderly and immune deficient people at risk and ****ing over the people doing God's work in the hospitals

Call it faux outrage but personally I'm ****ing disgusted at this behaviour

Fair ****s to Harris for calling this out straight

Ah Christ! How did that muppet back into the country. There are few benefits to a lockdown but keeping Mick Wallace and Claire Daly out must surely be near the top of the list.
