Oil prices down to mid twenties a barrel. Could go below 20 dollars for the first time in decades soon. Cheaper diesel petrol and home heating at least.

I notice some oil companies quoting 4-5 day lead time for home heating atm.

Prices have dropped significantly, but I would hope they will go further, if people can hold off.

I'm 39, parents late 60s, they never went to mass. Both from Dublin, none of their brothers or sisters do or did either.

Seriously. Public sector. I see them at Saturday evening and Sunday masses all times. I recognise their faces

Everyone has their own reality.

It's fcuking sad what's happening in Italy. Seriously. I'm a heartless cnut and this is upsetting me.

4207 new cases in the last 24 hours with 475 deaths in the last 24 hours.

That's us if people don't cop the fcuk on and engage in the whole social distancing thing.

DOCARCH · 18-03-2020 05:19PM

2,978 total deaths in Italy. Could easily surpass China (with deaths) tomorrow.

There is no decrease, slow down in Italy, heartbreaking for that country

Nobody wants to be Italy

Trump has described himself as a "wartime" president and will invoke a federal provision that allows the government to marshal the private sector in response to coronavirus.

I think China's figures are a pile of ****e to be honest. I'd love to be wrong.

fritzelly · 18-03-2020 05:20PM

Maybe they should be making more of this in the news to show what can happen

The way the UK are acting/dealing with this, they could be it (in a week or so).

Well gmisk. I thought you were tolerant. What an obnoxious post.

I don't mind what people believe in but it's funny how when you say a lot of your peers go to mass, you get all these horrible comments.

There is a time and a place for Trump to be discussing those things. And not calling COVID-19 the Chinese virus.
Bit bloody late now anyway.

It orignated in China. I orignated in Ireland so by your logic it would be racist to call me Irish.

If I had a ticket booked for a holiday right now, I wouldn't continue with plans. The risk is too much. The risk of picking it up abroad, getting sick while away, coming home with a contagious infection - for me, I definitely wouldn't continue with plans. I would pull out from plans and probably more than likely lose money on whatever booked.

Any Irish people with plans last week for Cheltenham - how can they be trusted to do what's right and self isolate themselves and contain this contagious infection/disease?

I'm more mad now at Leo's speech from last night because so many people are taking this seriously and doing their bit while our government invites more and more cases of this disease in.
