    New laws - Means discrimation goes out the window! Reason why goverment ministers having a barny over it today!

    Think of the worst law it - Herd up infected into croke park

    I heard the infected are going to be forced to play GAA for our amusement while we're under lockdown

    Serious question, floundering or foundering?

    Floundering

    Chinese people have been earing bats forever and it only happens now? I dont beleive that.

    Actually there have been a few incidents over the years, most notably circa 2008/9ish -Sars

    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

    Agreed. Our Military are well capable of maintaining a curfew across the worst areas. All personnel have been given orders to pack and be ready for ATCP ops. It will be very black and white. There will be no tolerance of "yeah but, no but" Hopefully, if people cop On, it will not come to this but, if major irresponsibility threatens the security of the state, and the Gardai cannot handle it, the trucks will roll.

    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?

    just wash your hand first

    I don't think the curve will be half as steep as other countries with more dense populations.

    Why did it take 100yrs since the last pandemic in that case. If you're correct we should have consistent pandemics.

    Clue, it needs a very specific set of circumstances


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,542 ✭✭✭Glebee


    Anyone else thing that the social distancing is slipping a good bit. Its as if people are forgetting about the virus.... Just back from the shops, people walking around chatting to one another normally..

    Floundering for a person.
    Foundering for a ship.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,807 ✭✭✭threeball


    260

    300 due to testing I'd say

    I'm no virologist but I know that they mutate over time. A strain that could be harmless or doesn't affect humans can, under the right conditions, mutate into one that becomes an epidemic.

    I tagged myself in the pub on Facebook each day

    This is one of the worst posts I've ever read on boards.

















    Regardless of the pandemic.

    Cool, I prefer foundering. Think he may well be sinking although I hope he's not. Glad he did a u-turn. Would be worse if he didn't change course.

    Ìt sounds like you would like to be that private? Finally a chance for a private to bark orders

    I am sure this has been posted before, but it is by far the best online explanation of the need for the containment measures I have seen so far.

    A 6 minute watch that might save your life, or the life of someone dear to you.

    Why fighting the coronavirus depends on you

    I think if you look at the breakdown by county some areas arent in the imminent danger that was thought. Thats not to say measures should be in anyway lax. We all need to keep up with our social distances and hygene etc.
