All offices with more than 100 staff must be closed from Monday. Maybe even ones with 50 staff if that's what it takes

200+ in my office and all expected in as normal... Shocking

I am usually a very laid back person and was letting most of the stories wash over me. Really started to take notice a couple of days ago. I was supposed to go home today as I hadn’t seen my parents in a couple of months. I cancelled it.

I hadn’t been to the shops since all this panic buying had begun but I had seen the videos of it. I went to Tesco’s today and it was very busy for a Saturday but nothing like it had been. I picked up enough food for 4 days. Gobsmacked that people were pawing at the loose fruit and vegetables and putting them back.

I was walking past the tills going to the self service section when I saw a till attendant sneeze into his hand 4 times. Without any hand sanitisation or leaving to go wash his hands he started scanning a customer’s shopping. I said it to him and he just shrugged his shoulders and just threw his eyes to heaven. I said it to the manager and said he would deal with it when less busy.

At the self service section there was a queue which was fair enough. There was three different people scanning their shopping with one hand while on their mobile. I was fuming. All I wanted was to go in, shop and get home as quickly as possible.

Sorrry - can't trawl through all the posts so this might be being discussed.

All the big pubs in Tullamore are closing after tonight until further notice.

Looking for some opinions
Is it rude to ask visitors to your house to wash hands when they come, and maybe correct them on their cough/sneeze etiquette? Have plenty of anti-bacterial wipes and dettol in the press anyway but just looking for peoples views on this

Likely there won't be funerals for people who die of the virus ( if there's a large number of them). Apparently in Italy they're just burning/burying them without ceremony

There won't be any funerals. They'll just be buried or cremated.

Quite sad, really.

Having to ask is rude because they should be doing it without having to be asked!

I think you 27.5% daily increase is a bit on the low side.

Sincerely hope not, way above 1.03-1.25 worldwide (-China) that I've seen reported. Hoping that with more data points it will lower into that range. The new testing criteria may change things drastically, it did when the Chinese changed their testing methodology.

Maybe. But at the time there was no talk of lockdown in any European county . No talk of schools closing .

On Wednesday? It was well publicised that there was major global issues. Your reliance on the government to prevent you doing silly things is what is going to see a police state being enforced next week.

Liverpool itself at only a handful of cases. I'd have as much a chance of catching it during my normal work.

No. The difference between going to work and going to an airport, getting on a plane and then sitting in a stadium with tens of thousands of people are not equal.

The risk at the time seemed low. I did contemplate not going

Well you made the absolute wrong decision.

Not talking about you as you seem to be on team sensible but I wonder how many of you're co workers are whinging about going into work because of the virus but are still getting pissed in pubs tonight?

Probably not rude in the grand scheme of things ,, but I'd come up with a reason for them not to come if l was you ,, you are e obviously taking this very serious but others who aren't will think you are a nutter unfortunately

It is likely that funerals will be cancelled along with weddings

Having a family members funeral on Monday and it’s been capped at 30. We were hoping to have 50 but we were told 30 max in the facility.

Would imagine funerals will be very very small from now on.

Doing the “how could I tell the kids we won’t going”

despite me trying to explain the bigger picture

“How do you tell the kids granny is dead as we made **** all effort to isolate ourselves”

We need to do a few things stat.

Close pubs
Stop flights into ireland
Start producing ventilators, face masks and other necessary equipment
can we quickly convert a factory to produce them?

I heard of a company in Cork that are going to shift their production to hand sanitiser next week. So Im sure there are other companies doing similar wiyh other items

My concern would be not able to come back when the borders get closed.

You are not being paranoid. Your survival in the next couple of weeks could be depending on you not getting infected.

...or maybe he should just chill & get infected (the British way), gain the virus & be part of the herd, ergo once you recover after ten days, your antibodies are fully charged & ready to fight Covid-19, should you face it again.

Moo!

The CMO has advised that discretionary social interactions should be curtailed so turn off the lights, lock the door and pretend you’re not in.

I'm not looking forward to all the people I won't be able to bury because they died of a deadly infectious virus at a time when death was so prevalent that their passing is all but overlooked.

To be fair to the Cork City pubs, the main ones have shut their doors. Reardons, Dwyers, Grand central, Oliver Plunkett to name a few all closed which is great to see. Usually quite local pubs though are seeing a lot of younger people come in due to them being closed though

They were instructed to by the HSE because gatherings over 100 were banned. Tbf Ernest Cantollin closed all his ones after yesterday even though he wasn't instructed to (Electric Sober Lane Bróg). All the rest are following suit tomorrow which while better than many in the rest of the country is still quite sh!t in the scheme of things. How many more infected for just one more day of profit.

Hopefully we'll be locked down before people start dropping dead in the streets or randomly dying on planes (although at this point, not sure if relevant).

Random thoughts.

RIP to any families this affected

Did you know that there were some 140 deaths in Ireland on Friday 13th according to death notices published for that day.

Maybe we could graph the deaths per day to see if there is an increase in "normal" deaths for people who were never tested?

Keep an eye on pneumonia deaths.
