    I wonder is there something significant coming this evening with a prime time special on tonight...
    It's not a scheduled programme only announced this afternoon..

    I doubt it. It’s just a very important time in our state so have to keep us informed.

    It seems those that used to be taking up space in A&E have now resorted to taking up the phone.

    A&E is deserted in Limerick, the paper cut and graze committee are staying away....

    They'll be preparing for a second wave I'd imagine, they won't be giving away anything that they'll possibly need.

    China already sent ventilators and doctors to Italy!!

    I don’t know what to do with these numbers. It just boggles my mind we have shut down the whole economy, and I mean that in a global sense, from numbers which while absolutely heartbreaking, are minuscule as a percentage of the population. I just can’t get my head around the severity of the situation.
    When I say it boggles my mind, I don’t mean that I don’t agree with it, just my pea brain cannot see how it’s happened.

    The whole economy is not shut down ffs. Sure a couple of industries are taking a hit but there are plenty of us tipping away. Even on Paddy's day.

    We have shut down industries that have a reliance on social contact. Rightly so.

    That is not the whole economy and that action will get us out this hole much quicker.

    Why are people reporting this figure. It’s a waste of time. It’s may as well be a randomly made up number that’s just causing panic.

    Everyone knows we don’t know the true number of infected so it’s definitely not 7.9% unless Italy have tested every single person in their country.

    Or why not quote Germany’s figure of 0.2%.

    Italy was very unique regarding the age of population as many posters have stated.

    That's complete rubbish, pharma companies are here purely for transfer pricing reasons and we all know this. They are saving billions by locating in Ireland completely ripping of the American consumer. The US gov need to be smart and they will get them back.

    I think you are confusing companies that are here and actually make stuff for the European market and avail of our low corporate tax rate and companies that set up headquarters here for as u say transfer pricing reasons.

    I work in Intel and they have made billions of profit from the plant here because the plant is profitable not from using it to fiddle tax.

    Amazing that people that want to cut our economy to bits would be the first to blame the government if we went back to being an agrarian backwater with all the ****ty outcomes for people that that entails.

    Hope people also spare a thought for the parents who have kids with special needs/disabilities at home full time for the foreseeable. A challenging period ahead for them. My brother’s respite services have been shut down and my parents who are 60+ are fretting over the uncertainty

    Apparently China is beating this virus. Can they send over some ventilators to us?

    They're not beating it. They're maintaining the figures by operating with and pursuing the largest scale draconian measures any society has ever seen or had to persevere. People literally bolted into their own homes, no escape in some provinces. This isn't beating it. They're slowing it down very well and what we have to ask ourselves is: Are we willing to become like China to neuter disease?

    Fcuking hell 292 cases in the south of Ireland, 350 in the whole of Ireland.

    Are they going to introduce any more measures to control this?

    There's no talk of how much are serious cases?

    Why did so many people still go abroad during this pandemic, life is more important than money, the scenes at Lanzorate airport is maddening, no way social distancing, I hope all returnees are being checked at Irish airports and self isolating for 14 days on return etc.,

    Both Chine and Cuba are sending equipment and medical staff to help other countries.

    You can bet it will be remembered by the recipients for a very long time.
