Nobody says 2018 was the best World Cup ever.

Wasn't it generally regarded as a forgetful and boring tournament?

I remember so many games being unwatchable due to boring draws.

Even with a two week shut down a lot of small business will go to the wall, after a month its anyone’s guess what state the country will be in...
Social welfare will be in heap for sure ..

The government needs to put in some measures to try to help businesses survive. Rent freezes bank freezes and suspend them until life gets going again and companies open back up again.

This is like nothing we have ever seen before so hopefully they come up with some novel ideas for helping the economy survive this.

Can't believe the cluster fûck started from one man and a bat.

I still don`t think this will happen not immediately anyway even though it should.

Shut airports. Sure.

Erm, what? If that is true, I hope under strict and prolonged quarantine? If they are allowed to just walk freely out the airport it would be like injecting the virus directly into your veins. Government officials who would allow such a thing need to be arrested.

Edit: https://www.dublinairport.com/latest-news/2020/02/27/covid-19-update

Yep, looks like no quarantine or even screening at all. Virus welcome full-blast full-speed ahead. Absolutely incredible. This is murder.

All of them should be isolated on return. Our slow response to Northern Italy was a huge mistake and has put lives at risk and possibly already cost lives.

I'm probably going to repeat this post a few times until the message gets through.

Its critically important to wash your hands before leaving the house to go to the shops. If you are carrying a mild form of coronavirus you could easily spread it to someone else in the shop, by handling products you don't buy, handling money or using a pinpad or else using a shoping basket. Its also important to hand sanitize after you leave the shop to prevent potentially bringing coronavirus home.

So hand sanitize before and after shopping.

Fair point but I cannot buy sanitizer anywhere and I've tried in every supermarket and pharmacy.

Transmission rates in the North seem similar to the South. The North isn’t the problem. It’s the rest of the U.K. and elsewhere...

Zimbabwe Minister for Defence says coronavirus is God's punishment of the West for the sanctions they imposed on African countries

It's weird as the West LOVE to say things like ' God Help Us'' '' May God bless America'' so on. But when someone comes out and claims this, they give the impression that the person saying it is crazy, ie that's just silly, no such thing as God

They want it both ways. But if they believe in God so much, then they must know how spiteful God is in the bible, how he sent plagues of Locusts, Floods, Disease so on as punishment. Trump can't have it both ways '' God Bless America'' ............. eh no such thing as God and his punishments.''

There actually weren't that many draws in that world cup. And of the dresses since of them were crackers e.g. Portugal and Spain 3 all draw was an incredible game.

Try a pharmacy early in the morning. Disposable gloves are also an option to use. Once disposed outside shop you reduce the risk of infecting your car.

But not the land border (GFA), our biggest travel related risk now is the policy currently being pursued by the Conservative Party in the UK.

Unlikely Northern Assembly will go come into line with us against London given vindictiveness track record of BoJo who has threatened to cut funding if they do.

There is only so much money available, which is why they want as much of the economy as can to function for as long as possible.

Must admit I feel a big grá to visit Italy when this is all over. Their singing amidst suffering is poignant. Plus they deserve the boost. Was mulling over to go to Sardinia this year anyway but for sure now Italia will be top of my list.

I thought the same thing. This actually creates an important precedent for every other country in Europe. Portugal for example has been dithering about closing its border with Spain but needed to get “EU approval” first. They should just close it.

Portugal is +74 cases so far today.

Was +34 yesterday.

I imagine they'll put in restrictions with Spain.

Never would have been the will or appetite (or even legislation) to forcibly quarantine Irish people coming back from Italy holidays at that stage of the crisis.

We should close the border with Northern Ireland unless they adopt our strategy and abandon the monumentally stupid Brit strategy that the moron Johnson and his hangers on came up with.
