One would have to wonder, how to we return to normality....even when do we return to normality. There wont be a vaccine for 12-18 months. The partial lockdown will surely last longer than March 29 IMO.

Schools, Uni's and Creches won't be open again until September at the earliest.

It looks like a stag party and if it is, I must admit, it is funny.

About as funny as a global pandemic.

There are people in ICU tonight, families grieving, 163 families on the island worrying about loved ones with COVID19. Im sure your celebration can wait if needs be

Is there a cull in the UK I'm not messing does Boris want rid of the blue rinse brigade. Awful what he's doing there

Corkgirl20 · 15-03-2020 12:08AM

Is anybody else slightly hoping for a lock down scenario? I mean closure of pubs and retail mainly.

I know we can’t just eliminate the virus through lock down, but we can slow the spread. Let’s be real Ireland doesn’t have a great amount of ICU beds ( a lot less than Italy per population) and I’m not sure about numbers of ventilators. Staff in the hospital seems to be run off their feet as it is.

If we just slow the numbers at least people will get a good chance at being treated and sent home making more space for the next lot to come in and be treated. I really really fear an Italy type scenario where too many people need icu at once and healthcare workers are forced to decide who to give it to.

I’m not fearful for my own health I’m late 20s and healthy but I fear greatly for older people. Im really hoping for a lock down scenario where only essential places like supermarkets and pharmacies stay open. The spread of the virus just needs to slow down so our Hospitals can cope better.
Lock down would only be us being asked to stay home and sit on the couch, it’s not that hard !

33rd this day next week.

Had tickets to Trevor Noah in the 3Arena.

Postponed.

No harm, I'll order a takeaway from my favorite Chinese.

Closing because of the virus.

So, I guess my birthday will be a long day of gaming. Nothing new there then :pac:

And did you watch the full 60-90 minute press conference after he spoke with Coveney, Harris and a handful of others? i guess not..

Guess I just saw the announcement from Washington that was posted on here. Can't find anything on youtube.

I expect over 50 new cases tomorrow and it to be called then.

There is outrage tonight on social media over the goings on in Temple Bar. I'd imagine Harris and Varadkar phones have been pinging all evening. Rightly so.

**** the Vintners and their Paddy's Day cash cow.

The thing is, only Irish gob****es go out in Temple Bar, we've no excuse as we should know how much of a **** hole it is. Durty fordeners spreading their virus's's's's

Just got a photo from my mate. He was also out last night and again tonight. Picture of his pint and shot at the bar in a pub in town. Saying getting pissed. This guy works in a nursing home. Id love to report him to the nursing home. Disgrace.

Please do. The elderly people of this country deserve far better than to have a carer like that.

You're criticising, and making it personal, Leo Varadkar, while defending the UKs impotency

How is it personal? I don't understand what you've written either, Leo Varadkar, Ireland's impotency.

Starting to think this might have some credibility with the way this virus is spreading.

Correct or not will probably be proven when China lift the lockdown.

https://www.reuters.com/article/us-health-coronavirus-china/chinas-imported-coronavirus-cases-rise-as-local-infections-drop-again-idUSKBN21106O

They are reported as having more imported cases at the moment than home grown cases which will be interesting to see if it kicks off again in China because of these imported cases and herd immunity/vacination becomes the only way to ultimately contain it!

The U.K are doing nothing according to most on this thread, you must be mistaken. That wasn't mentioned in the press conference that went on for more than 40 minutes.

No sorry you're correct it was a story saying they are considering making over 70s quarantine for four months.

Not a single country, including the epicenter has anywhere near that 40% infection rate. That's an alarmist figure that bares no basis in reality.
Anyway, think you forgot to carry the one on those calculations. It's not 2%, it's 0.2% for that age cohort.

That's what WHO predict.

Do the maths. 0.2 % of 2,000,000 aged 18-42 is 40,000.

fr336 · 15-03-2020 12:10AM

I don't know if this will reassure anyone and I don't have the Irish figures but just looked up the number of over 60 year olds in the UK. It's over 12 million. 12 million! This thing isn't going to get even a million. Half a million is the UK worst case prediction. Which would be truly horrific. But it probably isn't going to come to that. It's going to be bad, perhaps very bad, but surely on these numbers the chances of us personally losing people decreases? (I will try to find the Irish figures)

I took it to mean they're not sure they'll survive to get to it. Maybe I took it up wrong.

Agreed. Most are likely to be tourists. Irish people would not go there.. Down with that sort of thing

Why? It’s cool to meet people from all over the world having the craic. Much better than sitting in some wannabe pretentious bar with the south Dublin clique. Wouldn’t go often but great for a different type of night when ya wanna see Dublin from a different perspective.

Varadker is actually appearing quiet irrelevant in this nightmare . He really is a hologram.

I think Leo, like Harris, Coveney and everyone else is worried, these are scary times

I hope you get to celebrate in style when this madness is over. I have a roundy birthday soon and looks like I'll be cancelling the celebrations. Small price to pay. Stay safe
