Do you know, I am more scared of this martial law type lockdown than I am of the virus.
We are all being asked to isolate separately. At least when there was a war everyone got together, down the bomb shelter, had a sing song and tried to bolster each other along. Now we are even being asked to keep children apart from grandparents and from their pals and neighbours. Isolating people is never healthy. Old people are less afraid of virus than they are of loneliness and being forgotten or isolated

I could be one of those people in ICU I am trying to look forward to a positive outcome.

Are you waiting on Covid19 test result?

they'll be used to that, pubs usually close for traveller funerals and weddings

With people working from home, there will be plenty of clear road for Sulky Racing!

The message from the Irish government has been weak and a partial lockdown, people don't think it's good enough.

This is the start of it. It's to gradually get people onboard with the full lockdown that's coming.

They know they can't do a full lockdown straight off, so this phased approach is how they get people used to the idea of a quarantine.

If you watch the press conferences it's been hinted at a few times.

I suppose it's not a good sign that it can't be found easily on youtube, besides I got no sense through this thread of any information on a plan etc.,

Boards.ie is not where you should be looking. Try hse.ie instead. Its very clear on the plan.

So all the videos we saw from Wuhan back in January, February they were driving around spraying streets, buildings etc with some sort of disinfectant or chemical; not seeing that from Italy or Spain - yet. We're china just doing it to make it look like they were doing something to combat the issue? Or is that something we'll see happening in Italy, Spain, eventually Ireland (though we can barely even grit the roads most of the time....)?

The eejits in Temple Bar have made it a certainty that pubs will be closed on St Patrick's Day.

We obviously have a subset of alcos and drunks who are incapable of following government guidelines, not even during a global pandemic.

obi604 · 15-03-2020 12:23AM

Let’s say we do go in to lockdown.

How does it work with getting your provisions from a shop.

How is it decided who goes to the shop and when etc

Spook_ie · 15-03-2020 12:23AM

Just another thought..

If you get tested negative, you can still catch the bleeding thing, unless you have had it and have antibodies.

Can they test for antibodies?

Every country is doing that even the much maligned U.K. will do that.

Just listening to BBC5 Live. If the UK Govt continue their current strategy of herd infection then a scientist on the show predicts conservatively 70'000 deaths plus a collapse of the NHS. He foresees a scenario where treatment will be on the basis of expected likelihood of survival. Scary

Somewhat ironic, the vast majority of the 70k will be elderly folk who voted to leave the EU because they wanted the UK back to those good ol days when it was for the british folk only. How Boris is repaying them:rolleyes:

Stop watching the news
Because the news contrives to frighten you
To make you feel small and alone
To make you feel that your mind isn't your own…

Not so long ago there seemed to be a murder every day in this country. It's been quite a few weeks now. Just an observation.

Didn't last long Someone got shot about 20 minutes ago in Finglas

Dr Camphell from the UK. Not holding back on the lack of action from his own country and others. Great listen to leave on in the background. Remember watching this Dr in the New Year saying we are heading for a pandemic.

I think he’s great. Also been watching since early January.

Whenever I’m telling people about him I feel like I sound like the kid in Indiana Jones ..

“Doctor John’s very good”....

Jes that's a bit harsh ffs

Thanks I was diagnosed with an incurable cancer and last Halloween I had my last treatment. My birthday falls 2 days before the first anniversary of my treatment ending and I was hoping to be able to celebrate it in some way. My cancer will come back and I hope not while this virus is still doing the rounds.

The English attitude to parents and grandparents seems to be off the wall. Move out as soon as you're an adult and barely never even see them again.

I saw a stat that many millions of English OAPs live alone.

Yes I always used to be bemused by people who said the Irish and English are basically the same kind of people. As someone born and bred in England with Irish parents, totally different cultures in so many ways. Not least importance of family and community for Irish (even if it's changed over time). More similarity with the Italians in that way.
