...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.

I do not understand this post! Do a big shop? Gardai are already organising vehicles for potentially vulnerable people (if applicable)

There are 29 centres around the country

Oh, what if your doctor is in one part of the country and you're in another, can they put you on the list for your local testing centre?

I spent two years in Syria where there was no water, no food and a complete breakdown in social structures.

Still bet you couldn’t shut down a pub in Rathkeale.

Still working as are most people. Surely a shutdown of all non essential services is on the cards.

I think you might be right about that.

Could easily see doctor, pharmacy, grocery and fuel only.

With new laws - I can see military put on streets especially West Dublin to contain mindless violence or security to those shopping

That does sound impressive to be fair.

But are you sure Ergodan didn't write it?

Erdogan is staying out of it. Theres a science advisory board who are calling the shots. Interesting fact about the science advisory board members; vast majority are from universities which are known to be anti government . Erdogan need them badly

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

Would you shut down factories?

Not enforcing. Announce it and leave it up to the people. If need be, impose big fines for anybody breaking it/caught, no bull**** taken

People in Rathkeale are now asking each other where Syria is as it sounds lovely.

Fergal Bowers from RTE has the breakdown by counties on Twitter. I don't know why it's not being released officially.

I'm shocked. Genuinely.

I'm also concerned you work for the Turkish gov.

I went to work for the first time in a week because I had to get stuff sent out in hard copy and no support staff in. Town was quite eerie... lots of businesses closed. Very few people in the open places, mainly food places, any clothes shops looked totally empty. Those that were open had staggered 2 metre queues outside. Lots of people wearing masks or scarves around their face. Social distancing is happening. It’s certainly not on par with a lock down but it was worlds away from Dublin City centre on a normal day

Fair enough. Money can make people follow the rules. I am not sure what the purpose of curfew is. People still coming and going to work.

Fvcking west Dublin! Not the time to disparage whole swats of Dublin. The point of a lockdown / martial law is that there is no discrimination. You are in for some shock boyo when you think, "Oh but I'm different, I shop in M&S and I'm very aspirational" Some young private won't hesitate to tell you to get the fvck

Maestro85 · 19-03-2020 08:39PM

I really hope there is a lot of self care or support for nurses/doctors/emergency services both inside and outside their work. They are our first and last line of defence in this.

We need to seal the U.K. / Republic of Ireland border.

You can't

.. and anyway, the border isn't just the line on this island, it also involves traffic going too & frow between the two islands, and you can't cut off flights & ferries.

What town were you in? I've heard Dublin is almost deserted!

threeball · 19-03-2020 08:41PM

Boris and Leo have agreed to align actions as much as possible. Boris was definitely floundering, hopefully at least the north aligns with us

Nah **** it. We can hire a few thousand more soldiers to patrol the border and then we can live on beef, spuds and milk for the year (but you'll have to walk to the farmer to buy it), we can all cycle or walk everywhere and nobody can ever get a new appliance, car, computer, .... Sure it'll be grand.
