    They are handling this exceptionally well, when you compare them to the inept crowd across both sides of our shores they absolutely fantastic. Many more lives will be saved dye to their extraordinary decision making. Well done to each and everyone of our great leaders.

    You are been ironic I take it? When you have the shambolic Health Minister call for "decency" of all things whilst retaining his deer in headlines gaze that reflect the reactive nature of the issues. They were incapable of slowing this down to manageable levels by weeks ago by restricting travel, as other countries had done. These people are in office mostly due to their ability to parrot progressive nostrums and grandstand but once a real crisis/black swan event occurs, unable to act unless it passes ideological muster.

    Out with the kids at 9am in a large local empty demesne park.Had to get them out.In for the rest of the day then, bar time in and out of our small garden.If you have kids you need to find open space, not too crowded or we will all go totally cracked.It is very surreal to be going out on a 'normal' walk on a lovely spring day, then to arrive back to the apocalypse on this screen.We will get past this, we just have no perspective on it at the moment.

    I've been thinking about what this all could do to the illegal drugs trade.

    Will it become a bumper month for dealers , or will the sudden shutdown in middle class cash sloshing around and reduction in robbing opportunities for skag bangers decimate it?

    Either way, I don't imagine the fallout will be great.

    0.00338% of the population infected with the virus now.

    Doesn't really have the same scary ring to it does it.

    So 40 new cases today.

    The thing about pubs is only advice right?

    No, and also when you consider Italy's rate is 0.03%.

    Plenty of economic measures they could be taking. Tbf to them, the EU is glacially slow at getting things done but still it would have been nice to see something from them.

    You'd never hear the end of the "muh EUSSR" screeching if they did.

    23 males, 17 females tonight, continues the trend of more men than women becoming infected in Ireland.

    Had you avoided going to the pub, you could have avoided maybe picking up the virus and passing it on to everyone on the public transport.. Every little helps..

    Or, being perfectly fine yesterday and today I could pick it up on the bus and infect where I work.

    When I see Simon Harris I see Brian Lenihan 10 years ago. A man not in the whole of his health doing his best.

    He’s not. He has an auto immune disease and is actually quite at risk

    Fed up reading moronic posts.

    I work in the food change and I also have elderly folks I am terrified about giving it to them.:(

    The pubs are closed stupid fooking selfish morons on top of each other getting pissed will spread this everywhere fast.

    I assume you still want to eat?
    People like me will still have to go to work in the event of a full lockdown.

    I doubt him and the other edgelords want to eat. They seem to think the only essential required is the ALCOHOL. Not the brightest bunch.

    Agreed.

    We need to keep our immune systems strong as chances are many of us will get it. A walk or run as long as you practice distancing and hygiene should be fine.

    Tony O Holohan was advising people to go for a walk yesterday ffs.

    What do people think about meeting a friend to a walk or cycle, observing social distancing?

    Going outside is fine as long as you stay well away from everyone and touch fcukall stuff.
