    What part of lockdown did you not understand. Plus of course, the small matter of alcohol impairing judgement. For the latter it may already be too late

    Can you believe that Hong Kong which has around 2m more people than Ireland but 1/85 of the land mass has just 9 more cases than Ireland.

    Yes I can. If the government in Hong Kong and many other asian countries say "jump" the people say "how high?". If the government in Ireland say "jump" it's a breach of civil rights. Irish people love to defy orders especially if they come from a government.

    You could be there a while if you call, they are only allowing small groups into Intreo offices. I rang SW on Friday and was told you can make a claim for Jobseekers Benefit online if you have a MyGov account. You can also download the forms and drop them into the letterbox of your local office.

    Every German has to pay 15% of their salary into the public health care system, it's mandatory. If private you pay a fixed amount. I pay well over €600 a month for my private insurance, kids are then extra on top. Plus I have to pay €600 of medical costs in a calendar year before I can make a claim. And that insurance I pay is one of the cheaper policies.

    You get what you pay for.[/QUOTE]

    So are you trying to say that people with higher level VHI or Laya policies should get preferential treatment?

    i'm not surprised, everyone wears a facemask in HK, they are given away on the street for free, hand sanitizer given on the street for free, they were ready after SARS 1, we were/are not ready, meanwhile we export a ,million face masks week to Asia, and nobody has access to them here, shame, shame, shame, famine part II

    Auld lad earlier in Tesco Maynooth literally fondling the packs of sausages! Would pick one up and give them an aul squeeze and a rub and put back on shelf.

    One woman was getting stuff from back of shelf so had her whole arm up to the armpit sitting on the stuff at the front as she reached back. Selfish yoke.

    There has to be enforcement of hand sanitizer use for anyone wanting to enter a retail premises.

    They are not trying to infect 60% of the population...

    I’m starting to see how easy and dangerous fake news is.
    To reach herd immunity, about 60% of the population would need to get ill and become immune, according to Sir Patrick Vallance, the government’s chief scientific adviser.

    Why then were Harris and Coveny telling us we cannot shut down our borders due to Eu rules?

    There were smaller threads about the virus three weeks ago on after hours and here. Some of us then said then airports should be shut down then to stop it coming here from Italy. Now the thread exploded with new users all worried. Politicians should have done what was needed weeks ago and this would be prevented. Everyone HSE, WHO, and Irish government are all at fault for not stopping air travel..

    Apologies if this is already posted but the HSE are reaching out to Civil Servants for temp reassignment of staff for contact tracing for mobilisation in the coming days and weeks. Shifts expected to be available between 8AM to 10PM, 7 days a week for next two weeks, at least. Looks like I could be doing this work. Will know more tomorrow

    Surely there are enough people in the HSE with little more to do than walk around with a clip board that could be doing that kind of work. It would also serve to show where the wastage is in the HSE, I’d say there are a load of admin types shiiting themselves that this crisis is going to expose exactly how little they do and more importantly that they are not needed at all. It’s possibly the wake up call the HSE has been crying out for, for decades.

    Tesco were out of all the non-dairy alternatives when I got my delivery the other day. Could only get a couple of litres of cashew milk, which is pretty meh.

    250 according to this and another 60 purchased.

    https://www.irishtimes.com/news/health/medics-raise-concerns-about-staffing-levels-as-hse-stocks-up-on-ventilators-1.4201544

    Yes that would be a more accurate figure.

    No good having plans to take over private hospitals and other properties if no ventilators or health care staff is there?

    Can a journalist ask Minister Harris for an exact number, have they ordered anymore? If yes how many and when can we expect delivery?

    So, hypothetically, if someone had to sign on (I'm likely to be laid off in the next month), how exactly are we supposed to do it if we've to socially distance or in the event of a lockdown?

    There's going to be an awful lot of people signing on in the next few months, is it possible to do remotely, online?

    They trash the city instead.

    Educate yourself on this virus just a little bit. :rolleyes:

    I have. As far as I can tell, small groups of low-risk people getting together without touching should not be a big deal?

    None of us have any reason to have contact with at risk person like an older person or someone with a weak immune system.

    I’m happy to follow advice like sanitizing often, sitting apart rather than right next to each other etc but otherwise I’m not fully seeing the reasoning behind moving from social distancing to full-on social isolation?
