It's totally mindbloggling to me that our company (like yours, in 50+ markets worldwide) is currently being ran from kitchens and living rooms across Europe. The last 2-3 weeks have changed the way we work massively.

Same here it's been an eye opener for me.

So many people working from home that we are getting insight into each others lives and actually interacting more virtually

Cant see it being anything but a positive for the future.

But probably not the thread for it in the face of posters facing uncertainty

I said it was contained. This disease has been a potential pandemic since January.
majority of people didn't give a sh!t then.

nobody* calling out for vaccine then

nobody* sending ventilators / face masks to china

nobody* gave a ****e about ebola in the Congo / west Africa

Only when it's on our door steps do people care about where the vaccine will come from. We should care more about people who suffer epidemics no matter where they occur in the world. We should also allocate global resources to help them deal with it.

* nobody = 95% of people.

It was contained and shortlived so no need or financial incentive for a vaccine. This one behaves very differently and is being treated as such. When ebola kicked off it was "white people" that ensured there was a cure. Your post holds no truth

Why would they say make sure to get bottled water? Doesn't make sense

Seems like nonsense. And yet, I saw the eejit living nextdoor to me unloading packs and packs of 2 litre bottles of ballygowan from the boot this evening. :rolleyes:

The Spanish lady who is infected being consoled by her kids after her husband died covid-19 just on the news there. Kids balancing comfort and not getting infected....****ing heartbreaking stuff!!

Screamer ready for lockdown, whether it be tomorrow or later this week. All I’m saying is better to be ready than surprised. I’m no dreamer in fact lately it’s just nightmares.

I see Diceys in Dublin decided to ignore the closure order and are staying open for one more night, pure utter greed, shameful

Closure order is from midnight tonight.

Can we have a rumour source or ban policy from now on?

I’ve heard bigger lockdown will be announced at 11 tomorrow. Fairly reliable source so I for one am ready.

It's not reliable.. it's a poxy WhatsApp message that I've seen myself.

We're going to be going back years again now. Some places that close may never reopen

It’s beyond thinking what the next decade or so will be like in the economy.

Seems the 10 year boom bust cycle isn't too far off.

Me and a few others getting out of the US on one of the last few flights. Holiday cut short 6 planes and 4 or 5 airports in 3 days does this put us in the high risk category and have to self quarantine.

You should self-quarantine. Don't wait for someone to tell you to.

BorneTobyWilde · 15-03-2020 10:20PM

We're trying to alter the curve, not prevent it happening . With everyone pulling in same direction we'll get it done in two weeks. Then slowly try to deal with it case by case while still continuing with a new norm of distance and hygiene as we go about our lives. The trouble is UK, People over there will seek a way out, and Ireland will be it.

Are we presuming that gyms and the like will be closed for an extended period - such as 2 months?

Thinking of popping down to Elverys to get in some home gym essentials but wouldn't do so if they will only be closed for 2 weeks.

Surely things won't actually be reopening as the numbers growth worsens?

Anyone wanting to go to a gym at the moment needs their head examined

SO the new text going around now is

Just to let you know ins speaking to my friend who is a guard and just out from conference..full lock down being announced at 11 tomorrow to come into effect from Tuesday. Shops will only be opened for a certain amount of time each day with army outside only allowing certain amount of people in each time. And max 100 people allowed to queue. He said make sure you buy bottled water and any baby stuff required. He could be for 2 weeks or 30 days and is up for review after that. Hospitals have been told to be prepared for Tuesday and army and fire service be prepared for Wednesday. Fire brigade will possibly be used for ambulance duties also.

I just dont know why you need to buy bottled water? are they turning off the water?

I love the line about the baby stuff, niiiice touch.

Cops are always thinking about baby stuff, they are sound like that.

Bottled foooooking water, plleeeeeeaaaaaaase.
