I think this is worse than 2008. In 2008, a big part of the reason we fell apart was we were building too much housing and it was too easy to get a mortgage. Anybody who wanted had a house to live in, as we had truly been booming for nearly 20 years.

A lot of people in 2020 have just about managed to pick themselves up from last recession, and were entering this next one in a housing crisis. Forget about the rebuilding Ireland, etc etc. Tax receipts for March/April will be enough to put an end to major projects before they even get off the ground

Lads. I have to tell you some news. The global economy has been falling BEFORE this charade. The biggest global depression was coming in any case. Now the cabal and the criminals will be claiming 'the virus' caused it.

Watching the US here now, they seem to be moving quickly and decisively. Be interesting to see can they contain it.

By who FFS ? I've been told load of stuff over the years, but nearly none of it was true.

Irish_peppa · 15-03-2020 10:40PM

Why dont the government hand out some sort of surgical masks to everyone ASAP and have it mandatory if you leave your house to wear one. I know its not gonna stop the spread but surely would help!

It may be a positive from this that farmers do get a fair price for produce.

Trump was right about one thing

Fake news

New York City shutting down all schools.

It's hard to watch flight radar and see

Paris to Dublin
London to Dublin
Manchester to Dublin
Malaga to Dublin
Amsterdam to Dublin
Liverpool to Dublin
Lisbon to Dublin

so on...

People being welded into their homes in Wuhan, police vans driving around deserted European streets telling the public to stay inside. Italians being questioned in the streets as to if their journey is to the pharmacy or for food and if not sent home....

And someone suggests similar here and is laughed out of the place.....

There were those laughs last week when people said the St Patrick’s Day festivities would be cancelled.

People need to stop listening to these bullsh1t rumours, anyone claiming they know when a lockdown will happen is talking out of their arse.

There probably will be one, it could be tomorrow or it could be 2 weeks from now but nobody knows and again anyone who claims they do is a fvcking liar

Sam Quentin · 15-03-2020 10:41PM

Just heard someone posing as Red Cross members calling to vulnerable peoples homes, pretending to be testing for the virus and we'll you know the rest.....

hotmail.com · 15-03-2020 10:41PM

Aine Lawlor said on the News at One on Thursday we were already on lockdown.

Idiot.

amadangomor · 15-03-2020 10:41PM

In how we go about our business and interactions tomorrow can we presume that we all have the virus and act accordingly.

This mentality can curb the spread and save lives.

Or the CAP. The CAP was the EU answer to providing food security on a continent that is the heaviest populated part of the world. Our farmers produce food at a loss and all the moaning of the last 30 years about wasting EU money will now see the light of a crisis put upon it.

Thankfully we are food secure because of our farmers and CAP.

So mad it’s not even real.

Gavin Reilly is not, to my knowledge, a solicitor/barrister. The government absolutely does have the power to enforce a lockdown but to my knowledge, they'd prefer not to have to resort to laws and if they did, would rather a more up to date and specific law than the Health Act 1947.

I think this is very different to 2008. The threat to consumer and market confidence comes from a virus. If the virus can be beaten back, confidence should return quickly.

Global debt is more than twice what it was when bad debts triggered the last GFC. The tsunami of unemployment and business about to go under is going to cause an even bigger debt crisis, so good luck with that.

Sort by number of cases and sot by number of days since first case. I'm using China patient zero back in November. The USA Has to be walking.

holyhead · 15-03-2020 10:42PM

Expecting a blanket shutdown in the next 24-48 hours. I foresee closures for at least a month. Some places sadly may not re open.

I'd hope that's an urban myth...but feck me if it's true then that is about as low as it gets.
