Would be nice to have an expert weigh in on this. I had heard the same about ibuprofen, but then lots of misinformation out there, so not sure what to believe.

French Minister for Health tweeted it yesterday

Ah ha. The sequel has arrived.

Easy for you to say. They are trying to find a balance to keep people safe and not killing the economy dead in one foul swoop. We'd have the likes of you on here moaning they fcuked the economy in a few months if things improved.

There's a reason the likes of you hold no power.

Does that include Calpol? for kids

Calpol is Paracetamol. Should be fine as it’s not a NSAID

what did they say?

the vintners and their association in particular are a renowned group of bollic-k-s only interested in their profits]

many (not all) of them would be more than able to dip into the profits to support staff

The whole we were going by guidelines. Anyone with half a brain would realize that closure is needed.

How about offices , shops and other businesses?

Just pubs. Certain posters seem to have a bee in their bonnet. All those “horse walked into a bar” jokes must have really offended those on their high horse.

You're better off ignoring, he's constantly posting absolute nonsense. He's either a troll, or unbelievably dense. To be fair, he's not the only one. Plenty of others who would be strong nominations for the Darwin award (facehugger, weldoninho, completedit etc).

Off-licences remain open, Jesus wept!

Still no mention of closing all off-licences despite reference to COVID-19 parties. DOH, Harris on RTE

Why would they need to close off licences? If people want to have a drink in their own home then they are perfectly entitled too. Alot different to going to the pub.

Every supermarket has one and they're still open

Well said.

Politicians get an awful hard time off an awful lot of pr1cks..

Lazy ignorant pr1cks a lot of them. Without the energies snd enthusiasms of many politicians, we wouldn’t have functioning societies...

We are all people.

I imagine it's a phased shutdown to avoid widespread panic. They're gradually shutting down things, and the benefit to this would be that it's slowly limiting people intermingling which would hopefully create some breathing space for the health service to deal with the cases.

I would also imagine that there will be a phased reopening, and - if needed - a gradual shutdown again.

It's important not to create general shock in the population (we saw some elements of what happens with that last week) and to ensure that our health service can cope with the cases that will be piling up in the next few weeks.

Started to have heart palpitations when he started talking about off-licences

stephenjmcd · 15-03-2020 06:44PM

Thousands out of work and more to follow in retail in the days to come, awful time for the country.

We're about to go back years economically, high levels of unemployment etc.

Hopefully we can get over it in the years to come

You know the issue is people packing into pubs. Not the alcohol right? If we end up with 100 people in off licences they will probably go.

Seems to be certain people’s quest in this crisis to stop any measure of fun.

Exactly, going for a walk in the open air is fine. This is not going to be over soon. I went for a walk on the beach this afternoon, don't feel I put myself or anyone else at risk

I was going to do one today, but will tomorrow.

I was skeptical tbf, but Dr Tony Holohan who is leading our response said go to for a walk Yesterday. I'l trust him over a million online experts saying not to.:P

Funsterdelux · 15-03-2020 06:44PM

Rural isolation is exactly what we need

walshb · 15-03-2020 06:45PM

Fast food joints...

Surely they have to be next? Mackers and the likes?

He has aged some amount.

Weird position for them to be in. I thought they handled Brexit well and they are handling this well. And thanks to FG we have an emergency fund to throw at this too. But they’ll never be thanked for it.
