Well lockdown is grand for people who'll be paid fulltime for hiding in their room eating sh1te sitting on their stack of bog roll.

I'd rather work, and be able to get out in the fresh air. I'm already keeping to myself as much as possible. Lock down sounds hellish. Most people seem to be willing it because they don't want to work, rather than worry for people contracting the virus. At least from what I can see.

You'll still go to work unless it's in non essential retail.

What does lockdown mean exactly?

Went to lidl in Sallins earlier on this morning to get some pastries and oranges for breakfast. I was there at 9.45 (store opens at 9 AM) and there was very few people in the store and shelves were decently stacked. They lacked some items such as canned food and carved meats but toilet paper was there (TG for the ones who think they'll stop it that way), milk and juices also there as well as plenty fruit and veg. I think the irresponsible ones must have their pantries, fridges and sheds full so hopefully normality will be restored. Might go to Tesco later one in Monread (it's one of the biggest in teh country I believe) to see what the situation is there but hopefully reason is prevailing

Just a question re flattening the curve - if we succeed like China has do we then go back to normal in a few months?

And is it going back to normal with the intention of going back into lockdown when it spikes again?

Or is there some kind of best case scenario where a country can get this completely under control and go back to normal in a few months?

The flattening of the curve is primarily for health system management of cases. In time that should be zero and when the transmission rate goes below one the virus should be done. The question of normality is unknown as someone said but you would reasonably expect a return to it once the number of cases hits zero. From what people have posted here and from what's online, infection and recovery seem to be 15-30 days.

Excellent analogy of the UK model

https://twitter.com/john_mcguirk/status/1238962871100465159?s=21

The critical flow with that analogy is that he is assuming a lockdown will instantly and completely stop the flow of new patients as soon as you enforce it (like him completely stoping to pour water in the bucket when he says “now is the time to quarantine”).

Whereas in reality with the incubation period that flow of new patients will not only sustain but will even keep growing for the first 2 weeks if the lockdown. So for his analogy to work he should keep pouring more and more water for a good while after saying quarantine, with a lot of water spilling out (ie people dying).

It is actually very likely that UK residents which are currently in their incubation period are already enough to saturate the NHS.

I'd suggest you get an eye test along with your covid test if that's what you can see.

A lot of people are worried about the financial impact in this situation because we need money to cover ourselves if we're laid off for a few weeks.

If families are living week to week, and are down to welfare due to no wages and their salaries cover the bills such as energy bills, car insurance, and THE MORTGAGE OR RENT are all down to direct debit.

It would be a disaster, they'd basically have nothing to survive on.

Because some people have barely enough savings as it is.

I think a nationwide pause on mortgage etc and utility bills should come into effect for everyone.

Even over the next so many years we could pay an extra few euros on top of our monthly energy bills just to catch up.

The social welfare are probably working flat out and hr in companies to basically give the welfare people's pps numbers, account numbers and bic numbers.

Someone who's good at IT could set up a template easily enough, pop in the details and at a push of a button sorted.

Its not rocket science.

Its very simple for a complicated time.

Never mind that ****e waiting on the phone for hours waiting to get through answering all these stupid questions , then 6 weeks for the claim to go through.

**** that, this is when the powers that be should show us all how its done and take leadership.

Government all ready have a contingency plan in place for all the above issues.
When they will be implemented depends on how they update there plan

Leo saying that the no more than 100 people indoors limit to be more strictly enforced. Emergency powers will be used if necessary.

China reported 8 new cases on Friday, 11 yesterday and 25 today. Small numbers but the trend is worrying.

I'd call that flat, if it jumps up to 100+ a day it would be worrying for the rest of us in the management of the outbreak.

I see a major increase in anxiety and mental health issues will happen . I don’t suffer thankfully from mental health problems but I feel my anxiety increasing . I worry for my family , my neighbours , my friends and for people in nursing homes etc
I can see this being a huge issue in many homes over time

wakka12 · 15-03-2020 12:06PM

190 new cases in Malaysia this morning. Over 35C there right now. Same in tropical parts of the United States, 40 new cases in Florida this morning.Also more than 50 new cases in Australia and 29 new cases and 3 more deaths in the Phillippines. Now looking very unlikely that hot or tropical weather stops the virus.

A lock down kis more than curfew

Hit me on Friday , I have been watching the numbers and spread for weeks everyone thought i was cracked. We were asked to volunteer for redeployment on Friday which I did but it shook me, it all got very real very quick. Have since sat the parents down and made them see how serious it is had to scare sense into them both high risk and just wouldn't take it serious.

The word lockdown is a bit sensationalist is it not?
Can still leave for food /medicine / work
(Assuming place of work still open)

Lots of distancing in Lidl this morning. Plenty of stock too, apart from food we will never be able to buy again!

2000 fine if out of your house without very good reason. Only one person in car unless emergency. No beach, no park, no walks. Social distancing

Once you hit lockdown cases per day multiply 8 to 16 times before they peak.

Current cases in the UK will 100% saturate the NHS if they were to do a complete lock down immediately.

As shown over the last two nights, we need to really batter it in to people how important it is to take this seriously.

"Lock down" will have a better effect than just asking people to shut up for a few weeks.

If the footage is an accurate representation if what is happening in airports, it looks like a pretty good way to make sure everyone is infected :-)

(Doesn’t mean travel ban/restrictions and health screenings when entering a country are not a good thing though - but they need to be done properly)

We'll have to because some people couldn't take self responsibility on the compromise offered. They decided to give the 2 fingers to the rest of us and pack out the pubs.

Pretty much most have closed in cork and it will possibly be enforced as early as tomorrow I am told.
I wouldn't view retail as high risk as pubs where people are drunk and on top of each other.

Some pubs closed on their own accord thursday as they could run into potential insurance problems if more than 100 people were on the premises.
