You will be waiting a long time and all you might get at the end of it is a case of Ebola.:p

People shouldn't be there full stop. If people are not going to restaurants why are they going to pubs?.

Perhaps this can elucidate.

I was in a shop earlier. Several young women entering, of a certain age and BMI profile, chatting excitedly amongst themselves about going out this evening, "we'll go smoochin'... haha... get the coronavirus...hahateehee".

good question on canaries temp 20c+ and will keep going up so better to spend time at a pool drinking beer and getting burnt, then soak and freeze here for another month, is there any quarantine issues, as 5h flight and close to grand seems would carry for a good months holidays now.

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

Heard a local pharmacy had hand sanitizer today. Rushed over there. They were 500ml bottles with pump produced by a local company. €18.49 a bottle! Shop assistant said price high because cost of isopropyl alcohol had gone sky high. I bought a bottle, by the time I got to my car, I was thinking I'm such an eejit.

This is just carry on hatred since brexit

Not really, just people commenting on a government that doesn't give a shyte for the more vunerable members of their society. This has been the Torys since well before Brexit.

So my children are at home loosing out on their education all the while we have pub's packed out with crowds of people who just dont give a f** k about the fact they could be spreading this virus...

I just give up really, what is the sense in shutting down schools if they are not going to take equal measures to restrict crowds going to the pub and other social events.

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

When will the penny drop here........

Dont have visitors!!! Seriously I know it's an alien concept but really only people who have to live together are supposed to spend time together right now.

Maybe Johnston, Cummings and the rest of those pompous Tory overgrown public schoolboys should volunteer their own families to be the guinea pigs for this lunatic experiment.

Lets see how they feel when their own families suffer or maybe even die.

But if they are actively seeking to get as many people as possible infected, then they are volunteering their own families as guinea pigs. They must know this disease does not spare the 'elite', and BoJo's own parents would be right in the firing line.

If you work for yourself. And my industry slows down in the next few weeks. What is there for financial protection, nothing? Just worried about paying my mortgage for me and the girlfriend. Started my own gig In January in construction and it looks like a horrible decision at the moment. I won’t get sick pay

He did. He is saying that it wasn't his fault he made the decision and it should have been made for him.

I'm saying that people should be aware that all the information is available and they should be culpable for their own decisions.

Going to a football match abroad when there is a highly infectious global virus rampant in Europe is not a good choice. It wasn't the government's fault. It's the individuals.

Because of other people's bad choices, vulnerable people are at risk.

Yet somehow I'm the dick for pointing it out?

You could equally say the same about parents letting their children mix with others.

There was a gang of them congregated outside our apartment yesterday.

Of the 39 new cases today, were we told how many are community transmission?

I don't think the testing outside of the current guidlines starts until Monday? So we are still not testing anyone who could be a community invection. Open to correction as I have been trying to follow things a little less closely for my own sanity.

There'll be so many people self isolating upon return from Cheltenham. Fair play to them.

I understand the pubs will be forced to close from tomorrow evening or Monday evening - not certain of the specifics. I love the pub as much as anyone but this is right in my opinion. I know for a fact that people running small rural pubs where there were less than 10 people tonight that the guards called about an hour ago, asked them to finish early nicely and gave the heads up that it will be formally announced tomorrow. Anyone hear similar?

No one in Bojo's family will die for the lack of a ventilator.

Interesting article

In Wuhan, which had the highest number of infection cases in the Hubei province, everyone had a chance of getting infected, but only 3% caught it,” he explained. “Even on the Diamond Princess (the virus-stricken cruise ship), the infection rate did not top 20%.” Based on these statistics, Levitt said, he concluded that many people are just naturally immune to the virus.

This thing attacks the lungs not the hands.

Somebody sneezes in a room is can spread 15 foot in every direction and hang in the air for up to 40 minutes.

Keeping hands clean is important and putting contaminated hands to face can cause infection.

This whole panic about hand sanitiser is stupid it is like carrying a blunt knife into a fun fight.

There is the same protection for the self employed.

Doctor last Friday said the restrictions had been relaxed and they could refer for testing if they suspected it was the virus

Europe's woes will be put in perspective in four weeks time.

Herd immunity is the only way this thing can be incorporated into humanity unfortunately, the sentimental ones amongst us don't like that but seems clear as mud now

Haven’t looked but surely bollox. I’m sure world leaders would be way on top of this
