    Trump is such a cretin man child defending his "Chinese virus" terminology. Feel dirty defending him earlier in this thread,

    A good thing. Have no love for the church but it is something that will help my Granny feel better about it and staying home from mass.

    Have I missed something? Is Ireland that far ahead of UK? You've closed schools and pubs, yes. Schools look set to close across UK by Friday. Has Ireland stopped public transport and been as strict as the likes of France?

    We need to ban flights coming from the US.

    We likely need to ground all civilian air traffic everywhere except for those such as scientists and medics involved in the fight against this. Everyone else is just a potential carrier of the disease and down the road cause countless direct or indirect cases.

    We need to take this seriously for the next 3 months if we want to stop our health services becoming overwhelmed.

    Not at all. Many people (especially elderly) attend Mass every day and have no way of going to church for the next few weeks.....a lot of them probably don't have internet access.

    It was about 4,500 2 or three days ago


    It was 6,636 on teletext this morning but the article is no longer there
    Represents 4.4% of cases tested are positive.


    This ratio was at 3.0 % a couple of days ago.



    The numbers will be up again today if the mention it in the press conference.

    You will have thousands of elderly stuck in their homes, if this gives them comfort so be it. "No atheists in a foxhole".

    AAAANNNNNDDDDD we're in isolation, until little lad can be tested.

    Biggest issue in this is that causes another front line anaesthetic nurse to come home, until (if) we get all clear.

    I was speaking to a colleague of mine in China, I was trying to source some masks for myself and family members.

    He said Chinese Government is now starting to control exports of masks and specifically want to limit the amount going to the US after trumps comments.

    Agree, many older folks aren't internet savvy or have access to the internet.

    Against the RCC but there is a still a portion of our population who go to mass

    Suppose if you look at it that way it'll keep oldies at home. I just don't like the rte church link, not all of us are Catholic.

    Like everyone else, if you feel backed into a corner you'll pray to any fucker you think can help you.

    If you say you wouldn't - you've never been backed far enough into a corner.

    I was giving Trump stick for his Irish Pharmaceutical comments earlier on (which were an indirect dig at Ireland) and got ambushed by a gaggle of Trump lovers. Not sure if you joined in.

    Not sure if already posted.

    Never has the mantra behave like you've got the virus already so as not to pass it on to others via social distancing and self-isolation been more pressing.

    In solidarity with everyone who is losing their jobs, the teachers should go on the dole too. We cant afford to pay them. Makes sense, right? We are heading into the greatest economic depression.

    Just back from shopping trip to replenish some perishables.

    Observed that the local Tesco which practices social distancing within the store. It has changed it's model.

    It's moved from an 'all stand together in a big bunch at the entrance' model to an 'all stand together in a line model'.

    Unfortunately modal distance still remains less than 25% of recommended distance between related clusters.

    Dr. Eddie O Reilly on Drivetime there. He must be really desperate to get back with all the airtime he's taking up recently.
