Very good, have you considered stand up?

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!

Ive been spraying my protective gloves with bleach before I go shopping. Yes throw them away when you get back into the car, but the bleach helps kill anything u touch as well as the gloves keeping you from contamination. PS, it is the airborne quality of this virus that is most contagious. Don't get close enough to someone so as they can cough, sneeze or breath on you. That means no stopping for conversations. I was fairly short with someone I didn't know the other day.

Ok, wonder can people outside Dublin go up for a test?

They don't need to.

There are 29 centres around the country

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).

Those eejits aren't aware of any public service broadcasts. The extent of their knowledge is that there's probably some bad dose going around that's grand if you're young. Cars should be driving around blaring announcements to stay indoors etc.

...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)

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 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

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

County by county now of 350 cases examined:

I'm shocked. Genuinely.

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

Beanybabog · 19-03-2020 09:38PM

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 09:39PM

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.

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.
