    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.

    More likely just young and ignorant not following the news and don't care. Should all be named and shamed IMO

    Let's not forget thousands came back from Cheltenham yesterday and today so we can look forward to a HUGE increase in around 7 days or more

    There was also 75000 in Old Trafford and 60000 in Anfield this week, no complaints over that

    Elaborate …. I have a lot of time tonight.

    What model are you using?
    I make it 341 by 19th March applying an constant exponent of 1.275 to preceding days cases, from a start date of Feb. 24th. Resulting curve is a good fit though based on inadequate data points.

    Was surprised to see my friend who lives in Singapore posting videos of a big street party there. Is the country clear of the virus now or?

    Very interesting response to the virus.
    Very similar country to Ireland, they didn’t shut schools or business but as far as I know they restricted travel

    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.

    Its cheaper and better to go on holidays.

    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?

    You don't get a negative test - you are either positive or not positive (undetectable)
    I assume the HSE are doing follow up testing - anyone know?

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

    Yeah, Leo looked really worried over in DC. So worried in fact that he couldn't even stay in the country to announce the closure of schools and large parts of the country.

    "Well, yeah, you know, that's just, like, your opinion, man"

    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 virus or no virus.
    Haha. I know you are a bit of hermit but you also have big heart. Old people are less afraid of virus than they are of loneliness and being forgotten or isolated

    Only those with symptoms are being asked to isolate separately. Everyone else is just being asked to avoid crowds and stick with their family.

    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....)?

    saw a clip on bbc news earlier where they were spraying the streets in italy

    I wonder are these the three cases in the 'Northwest'? I wouldn't normally describe Cavan that way but I don't know what other category you'd put it in...

    Wife of Spanish priminister tests positive
    This virus sure likes being in the headlines :)
    Politicians and movie stars can afford to be tested. If you are young you are usually not approved for testing, seems to be the same situation in all countries.
    Maybe means more people infected and they do know it.

    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.

    Wishing you happiness and health ! Hope you get to celebrate it exactly how you would have planned too!

    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

    No idea how it's decided when you go out, but in Italy they have to fill out a form each time they go out...and have to carry it with them so that police can check it if they wish. I believe they can get some prison time if they're lying on the form!

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

    Went on hse.ie couldn't find a national plan, found the advice you'd expect to find for employers, self isolation but no national plan of action... it's late I'm tired. The fact that it's not easy to find any of this worries me.

    We all lineup and the shopkeeper goes along and counts 1,2,3,4,1,2,3,4,1,2,3,4,1,2,3,4 you remember your number and that's your shop team. We rehearsed this daily in PE for these very trying times!!
