    Deflecting and lying. Public health emergencies over which the EU has no role, trump everything else.

    I'm betting the sign will be posted here in the next.........

    Let's see how fast it travels.

    Yeah given the amount of people taking pictures of it, that would make me think theres something in that notice that's not from the pub itself. People wouldn't be taking photos if it just said pub closed.

    Soon see.

    Herd immunisation isn't a thing without vaccination.


    The catching of the virus itself should immunize you against catching the same strain again.

    The head of the Restaurants Association of Ireland has said he expects an announcement today regarding the closure of pubs and restaurants to stem the spread of Covid-19.

    Speaking on RTÉ's Weekend On One, Adrian Cummins said the government needs to trigger a lockdown on their sector, as they want to play their part in stopping the spread of the coronavirus.

    He said restaurants are ready for this, there will be a lot of pain for business owners, but it's better to get it out of the way sooner than later. He said many are wondering whether to stay open or not, and wanted to see the Government provide a decision on it.

    All the pubs in Newbridge are closing at 6pm today. All sticking it up on their FB page. Delighted. Shows social responsibility over business needs.

    Just watching the live cam at Templebar, the punters dont know what to do with themselves once they realise the place is shut down.. Good enough, the eejits ruined it for everyone last night, it was such a piss take.

    Whatever it says that place must be absolutely riddled with the virus

    That place would need a surgical deep clean after yesterdays crowds alone

    What they said was talking out of context.
    That was in relation to trade and free movement.
    Any EU country can close there borders if they seem to be in a state of emergency.
    Our government didn't view our situation as such

    Sadly, the world is full of assholes. Most people are probably aware of the Johns Hopkins University dashboard which has become one of the primary sources of authoritative information on COVID 19.

    Unfortunately some malicious people have sought to piggyback on this by creating near copies which attempt to install a computer virus by prompting the user to download and install an executable.

    The bottom line is that the Johns Hopkins University dashboard does not contain any malware. If any web applications prompts you to download anything, do not use them. Full details here:

    https://www.esri.com/arcgis-blog/products/arcgis-online/administration/coronavirus-downloadable-malware-map-app-clarification

    I’m aware of the various ironies of posting a link purporting to warn of a malicious virus.

    yeah but to do herd immunity properly or more to the point morally you vaccinate the vulnerable 1st then let it spread

    Anyone know if any protocols are now in place and being enforce on sanitising all personal phones of hospital staff on entry and subsequently.

    I know from personal observation that use of personal phones whilst on duty was very widespread. With increase concerns regarding children's childcare and at risk relatives the practice has probably increased.

    Like the postman in detective stories it was so much part of the everyday that it might not have been perceived as the risk vector it is. Just because it's obvious doesn't mean it's been addressed.

    Staff need to be able to check on family, management need to ensure it can be done safely for everybody.

    What will banks do for people if the worst hits I I'm self employed and will have no work for at least 3 months I'd say. In healthcare. I rang aib and what they offered me was a 3month moratorium on loans but they said it would ruin my credit rating and I would not be able to borrow again for 5years???????

    It was estimated we have 250 - 300. I will find the article. I posted a graph showing we have one of the lowest levels of ICU beds in Europe per capita.

    Our tax rate is similar to Germany, is it not? The HSE needs to be shaken up after this. Too much money spent on admin.

    In Germany, health insurance is mandatory for all workers, and is around €300p/m for a friend of mine in early 30s, so possibly more for older workers. Not the same as here at all.

    Allegedly the UK's latest idea to fight the virus. If that's true it is the most outrageous thing I've seen so far. Everybody else carry on and we just keep the elderly in and confined telling them what to do like little children

    Also, (and I don't know if this one is an Americanism) but when people finish a post with "Thoughts?" I reach for my revolver.

    All the nazel gazing going on on Social Media is laughable. Apparently airports wide open, seaports wide open, supermarkets full of people fighting over the last pack of bog roll isn't a problem, the lad down the boozer is going to bring it all down. Jesus wept.

    Unless the CBI/Dept of Finance change rules then a moratorium or interest only arrangement is reported to the credit agencies. That isn't the banks fault so need to redirect your anger there a bit.

    Notice probably says:
    Dear customers. Due to the bumper weekend that we've just had, we would like to announce that we have made enough money to retire to a hammock on a beach in the Seychelles.
    Thanks to all you dumb fools who went against all advice and didnt give a **** about anything or anybody when you packed our pub out over the last few days.
    Enjoy the hangover. Slainte!
