    That's based on the first 18 days in each country.

    The problem is the number of tests administered would look like quite a similar graph

    Essential services, supermarkets, pharmacies, obviously shipping, 1 person allowed out very 2 to 3 days for shopping! Walk the dogs :) curfew from 7pm

    How would you enforce it though. The policing levels arent adequate.

    Saw a guy with a beard with a facemask on his beardy chin last week, puffing away on his fag. The silly fool, having a beard the mask never fitted him properly in the first place.

    Just finished watching CoronaVirus -Protecting the Elderly, on ITV.
    It's very stark. Every individual has a choice in everything they do from here and each bad decision could literally kill someone else indirectly. It really is a test of citizenship and we'll all have to Marshall one another.
    I recall my father always gushing with pride when he talked of the Dutch people who would pull you up if you dropped litter. This was in 1969!
    Having watched my father self-isolate for his last 2-3 winter flu seasons, and having been floored by the swine flu 'vaccine', my heart goes out to all the poor old folk and younger vulnerable people confined at home or in nursing homes, at the mercy of gobsh1tes and bad luck.
    I think some of those young people partying should be locked into a room in an old folks home or a hospice and made witness what people go through as their life energy ebbs away. I watched over my father in law for his last 7 nights on Planet Earth. To spare the family the task and let them rest. I'll never forget the breathing, the long spells of no breathing. But most of all, I'll never forget the life in all of that twilight living, the staff who were so gifted and so valuable beyond a politician or an estate agent or a Garda or an Army Officer. They really perform the Trojan work that we'd all pay tenfold over for if we knew how we'd end up.
    God bless all of the frontline health staff, particularly those who look after those who are becoming like children again. Let anyone who must die, die in dignity.

    Hopefully the authorities will use all measures available to them to sanction those who blatantly ignore this societal call to arms. The threat is very real now, just lots of me feiners still about.

    Beautiful post

    2 problems with a lock down.

    1 we do not have enough front line staff or army and Garda to do it.
    2 for a lock down to remotely work we would need to do in line with the British government ,
    more over with northern Ireland unionist to agree

    I fail to see why we need to be in lockstep with the UK on this.

    Are mainland European states carrying on like that? They have borders on all sides.

    Is sex ok during this crisis or should we be avoiding that also?

    When can we go back to this type of thing if it's not recommended?

    Do you contact trace your partner?

    Yep.

    And it is a virus of chinese origin. Disgraceful the reported practices on their markets which has resulted in this.

    So funny. Having a dig at an elderly person. Fair play. Did you get that validation you were seeking that's missing from your life?


    I wasn't having a dig at Graces and I suggest you PM her to check the nature and tone of my posts and PMs to her in the past.

    I thought that using her terminology from the weather forum would be the most appropriate description for where we are with the coming 'storm' approaching.

    Hearing there are over 50 cases in Galway now.

    Don’t laugh. A couple months growth and each family in Ireland would have enough lettuce for a side salad each.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,396 ✭✭✭ZX7R


    Agreed. A complete lockdown with curfew etc could cause more damage.

    Plus the new laws went through the shaned will make it much easier to enforce the current situation

    But we already have mass compliance with social distancing. It's very debatable what extra benefits would result from confining people to their houses (most people in Ireland don't live on top of each other).

    I am not advocating an "enforced" lockdown. It is up to us the citizens of Ireland to do it, just have patrols around shops etc for the difficult folk, thieves and cool teenagers etc. We must all come together, we can do this....Leo needs to go back on the box and announce it

    I have no idea how he can say that - 1,000 cases per day (5% - 50 needing ICU care) leaves our health service in the same place at Italy if it continues for any length of time.

    On this model that happens on 28th of March (9 days time)

    Maybe because he knows what he's talking about!

    Something along the lines of grow your own lettuce in a pot on a south facing windowsill incase there are food shortages.
    Whatever about the lettuces but it's fairly clear the man is a cabbage

    Because the politics of the north and I'm implying that mildly don't care about the virus but they do about the border been closed.
