Being following this since January when China was being hit hard.
When I stated posting on here I tried to warn people what was coming.

Many of us were accused of scaremongering and when we were proven correct we were accused of enjoying the whole thing and getting a thrill out of it.

I have elderly folks I am really afraid for them I am afraid I will get this thing and give it to them.:(

Early on I new I was correct from a factual point but until the last few days it has not really felt real if that makes any sense.

Selfish people packing out those pubs over the weekend was infuriating.
Same morons who said this was only a flu went on a panic buying session.

Seeing all the jobs losses and the economy going into the toilet is upsetting I will admit I did not really see that coming.

lots of heads in the sand. I must make a collage of those health spokespersons saying" only one or two cases"(prick with blonde hair on prime time) and others " we shouldn't do anything to disrupt the economy" (prick from RCSI) among others.

Is anyone else enjoying the peace and quiet?

Not even the sound of a single car driven past my house in the last hour.

So many people have believed fake leaks, fake WhatsApp messages and pure bs. A leader of a country outlining the truth, expectations, advice and words of hope is exactly what was needed.

I am no fan of Leo or Fine Gael, but he addressed everyone and if everyone followed it we would be in a good state of affairs. But queues for ice cream today. Beaches full. Kids out playing on street. Plans for house parties tonight going into overload but calling a nation address ineffective.

We need to take responsibility for our actions.

Good luck with that.

A nation of arseholes.

I would suspect most cases came in contact with these Italian fans. Expect numbers to be close to the 15k.

Would you? And did you enjoy your long years of studying epidemiology?

To the people who are querying the 15k figure, we're still not 14days since the Italian rugby fans came over to visit.

Looking at the last few nights announcements I've noticed the majority of cases are in the east(Dublin & surroundings).

Let's hope they are less though.

Well for all those who say the government are doing a good job, the issue of the Italian rugby fans showed otherwise. Those flights should have been banned. It was utterly incompetent to postpone a game but allow the fans to come.

So a virus can't spread. And multiply is that what you are saying. Now as I said I have no idea what the final numbers will be. And I'd suggest\guess you have not a clue either. So instead of laughing at people . You might act like an adult.

China gives you all the information you need. Lock a country down completely, treat as many as you can. Some will die most will recover. It's a virus

22 new infections in China today. 19 of those travelled from overseas.

3 weeks from now new cases in Italy will be dropping quickly. Quote me on that.
Life will go on. The economic effects for all will be much more severe and long lasting

Most of the population are in the east (Dublin and surroundings to be exact). Its denser than anywhere else too. This is bigger than Italian rugby fans coming over now.

What's the story on going into work, I'm not in tomorrow, Thursday, industrial setting, close proximity work stations, not making anything essential

You would have to ask your employer about that.

Anyway do we even know if many of those fans even came over?

The 2010 bailout?

Maybe. Did Cowen make one?
Before that was it Haughey with the "living way beyond our means" address?

Or was there one for the GFA or Omagh?

It might be of comfort to some to print or post something similar on their door, especially if some well intended visitors aren't getting the message.

No connection with the above and not suggesting anyone buy them.

Well Goldie is also in the film. Youll find out at the end!

If you consume a lot of beans you fart too much. I’m far from playing this down and I’ve family members that would be seriously in the risk category but we still have to keep ourselves in check. Plenty of optimism still too be had but 24/7 news and the internet will drive us all mad.

I like most of the people in here probably have a fear of the tax man and all those deductions from my payslip. Its hard work 40-60 hrs a week and have so much tax taken away. But I will have no problem paying a bit extra for the next few years. This is not corrupt bankers and useless politics that has caused this. So we will have to suck this up. It's going to be tough but me and many more have survived the last crash. I was hoping for a lot longer before this happened again but it is what it is .

Oh no. If you are on a local Facebook page could you ask someone to help? Or go every early and beat the crowds. Then from now on order delivery.m?

This is frighteningly naive tbh. 15,000 will get it by the end of this month. We will be doing well to keep they figure under 100,000.

So, we have genuinely worried people turning to boards for a bit of support and hope, trying to fathom the figure of 15,000..... and you decide to pluck the arbitrary figure of 100,000 out of your sad little brain.

Kindly go fcuk yourself.

Here's a wild idea, ring your shift manager or other such supervisor in the morning? It would be quite a stroke of luck for that person to be an active poster on this thread, this very minute.

Yes. Remember Enda Kenny addressing the nation in late 2010/early 2011 during the bailout.

We were the first country who had to deal with Italy as a sport event since their outbreak.

Very hard to call it back then.

Hindsight is a wonderful thing.

You are assuming that the fans had the virus.

Also Italy had its lowest percentage increase of daily cases today since the virus was first noticed there.

Some folk on here are getting completely carried away and losing the run of themselves.

Lads ye know theres a big recruitment drive on for health professionals? Ye could get paid and serve your country instead of posting your expertise here.

I live in a fairly big apartment complex.
There's a courtyard/green area where kids play the second they are back from school day in, day out.

Not a peep!
Nor in the common areas inside (they aren't allowed officially but they do sometimes when it's lashing out)
