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?

I know a few bar men and publicans and they've not been told anything like that. Gov are leaving up to individuals to make the decision, some are getting guidance from their insurers also, with some insurers recommending closure after this weekend.

Your rank and file garda wont know details of things to be announced, not at a national level.
Next meeting of gov and health officials is monday. Nothing else decided until after that.

But yes a staggered closure should take place in my opinion, slowly wind down non essential services over the course of the week.

Hopefully that’s true.

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?

This, it is all down to people’s choices.

If you wander down to your local pub and there are 20 or 30 people sitting fairly separately across the pub, what’s the problem, you are in line with the latest guidelines. However, if you go in the door and there are 400 people crammed into that space, get out of there and go home. It is all about individual choice and common sense.

Unfortunately, most people are children or sheep and need the government to spell out what they need to do. Ironically, at the same time, they are the people who didn’t vote for FG.

One of my friends, who I seen for a few hours during the week got word from his employers that one of the guys in their office lives with someone who has tested positive..initially he was told he would be tested sunday but has now been told they are not even gonna test him until he shows symptoms.

Heard 'something' is to be announced alright. Just in the last hour but didn't get any details. Always 1am on a Sunday, low down under the radar and after the first editions are out for delivery.

Interesting article

https://m.calcalistech.com/Article.aspx?guid=3800632

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.

Because they locked the place down - let's see how it plays out across Europe

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

If you are sick. You will get sick pay of 305 euro per week
If you have no work,apply for the job seekers
Some banks will allow you to postpone mortgage payments for three months. So you hopefully won't get hit as hard as you think

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.

Supervised by their parents of course? Yerah the play areas for kids were being well utilised on Friday, don't know how today looked.
Maybe the parents are in temple bar? :cool:

Fiftyfilthy · 15-03-2020 01:45AM

Gym I train at is still open

Very little precautions apart from one sanitizer dispenser and a small pack of flash antibacterial wipes on the 2nd floor

Are they foolish to remain open? It’s not a commercial gym , maybe 10 train at once and distance apart would be adhered to

I’m not going either way as much as I’d like to

Not worth the risk

You don't be a dick and a you get a grip. You could be involved in deaths.

Do you get it? Will you ever get it? Or are you just that dumb?

Just because something doesn't seem like it's doing much wrong, it could be in this situation.

It's like driving without while drunk. "Dont be a dick, he drove his car down the road".

"Dont be a dick, he didn't tie the climbing rope correctly".

Some actions have big consequences.

His post was fair and justified.

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

Is that your opinion on it or have you been informed that this is happening as my cousin who works in DoH said as far as she is aware that this won't happen, at least not for DoH staff as there is quite a lot of legislation now that needs to be completed because of Covid19 and it will take time to complete. I am also in the service in a different Department and some of the senior managers with kids are able to work from home but it's unlikely that will happen for the rest of staff which is a bit mental when there are hundreds of us in open plan offices.

I would imagine they are not hoping that 60% of the population become infected. Saying that they want it is more than a bit of a stretch.

This is just carry on hatred since brexit

Your imagination is poorly informed complete rubbish.

Google "UK 60% herd immunity" and see what comes up !

So no one knows what exactly the HSE means by the 'North West'.

Jebus wept, when Met Eireann give a weather forecast... it's not a state secret where Malin Head or Roches Point are located.

The HSE should stop this cloak and dagger bullcrap and tell us exactly the town and county where the greatest danger is located.

It might even keep the headbangers out of the pubs in those towns !

Supposed to be 3 cases in Letterkenny Hospital , could be BS

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

If you MUST have visitors, you don't ASK them to wash their hands. You act like it would be COMPLETELY UNBELIEVABLE for them to NOT wash their hands. Like so:

"Hey! Come in, come in. Lovely to see you. Now you'll have to use the kitchen tap I'm afraid because it's the only mixer and the hot taps will take your skin off. There's soap just to the left of the sink. You go through and I'll grab you a hand towel. Back in a jiffy!" Then usher them through with flappy hands and grab your towel.

Basically make it so that they have to make a dick of themselves if they refuse.

And if they refuse, kick them out. ðŸ˜Š

The Spanish Prime Minister's wife has tested positive for novel Coronavirus.

I'm sensing a pattern with this virus and politicians.

Interesting though that the cruise ship only hit 20% even though it should have been more like 80 or 90%. Plus the average age must have been very high.

firemansam4 · 15-03-2020 01:50AM

Well if that's the case then it's a good call.

2 days is nothing but what is being suggested by many will be a very long period off time away from school, which I understand might be necessary but it is annoying to see so many having to make sacrifices because of the virus when you have others who just don't really give a s**t as long as they can get out for there drink.

Good to know thanks. Someone in my family owns a pub and called me to let me know so the conversation did happen. Local detective is friendly with them and said it about the formal announcement. Anyway its tough for them as rural pubs are decimated and we all the the government dont help the self employed. It is very necessary though and if pubs are closed, coffee shops and restauranta will also need to follow suit. Health comes first but I work in a professional services firm and this is going to take some recovery economy wise.
