    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?

    Have you seen Demolition Man?

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

    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!

    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.

    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.

    Get onto Ciara Kelly tomorrow and ask her for the number of her contact. She got her test done and results in 24 hours.

    Turkey is not hiding anything. They are not going to be Iran or Italy. When this is over, you will be wondering how the hell could they do it better than everybody else. Their minister of health started calling this a pandemic long before WHO declared it as such. People made fun of him. Have a look at what they have been doing since January. Yes January. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2020_coronavirus_pandemic_in_Turkey


    In that case, how did they manage to stop the spread with those showing only mild symptoms?

    How are we enforcing a curfew? We have a tiny army.

    Would you shut down factories?

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

    What would you like me to plot on it? I can do up a graph of any data, just let me know :)

    If he was in Fg he would still be a cabbage. If he wasn't affiliated with any party he would still be a cabbage. You could actually eat the man with bacon.

    This thread has spiralled into a tit-for-tat, point's scoring mess. Why not just discuss actual facts from linked and reputable sources. It seems to be the same back and forth between the same 6 or 8 people.

    Stay out of coffee shops and retail shops.
    Get your teenagers inside.
    Encourage any elder relations to stay away from centres of population.
    Wash your goddamn hands

    I'm stuck in a house with 4 teenagers. Both wife and I lost our jobs. We are all sucking it up and sticking to the plan which is more than I can say for a lot of folk out there at the moment.

    As an ex-army guy, I can tell you, the sooner the army is deployed the better. A few smacks from an MP will soon sort out those who are practically giving two fingers to all front-line operatives putting their health on the line.

    I spent two years in Syria where there was no water, no food and a complete breakdown in social structures. We have plenty of food, all essential services are and will be working and we are supported by the government.

    Snap out of it people!

    That does sound impressive to be fair.

    But are you sure Ergodan didn't write it?

    So what's an acceptable level of mortality in your eyes?

    Our neighbours have costed it for us. £20-£30K per year.

    How much are the 7 folks in ICU costing us now?

    ...for the nuclear family, maybe. There are different types of households. Somebody, for example, living alone with no car or public transport available to them may need to visit a supermarket on a daily basis to survive.

    Hearing there are over 50 cases in Galway now.


    Wouldn't surprise me.



    Have a friend that is a nurse and another a guard over there and they both say the same thing. A lot of people not taking this seriously at all (they are probably a minority of us) but the guard says he has responded to several house party stuff and teenagers in their droves around parts of the city just acting the maggot. The nurse looks like she is about to keel over when I last skyped her so I think it's only going to increase until the government decide to do another public service announcement asking people to self isolate again (which is being ignored by these eejits).
