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

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.

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.

Holed below the waterline.

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..

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.

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.

I was in the FCA 20 years ago. Spent a whole week in Finner Camp. When should I be expecting the call?

Floundering for a person.
Foundering for a ship.

Not that cut and dried.

Founder means, in its general and extended use, 'fail or come to nothing; sink out of sight' as in the plan foundered because of lack of organizational backing. Flounder, on the other hand. means 'struggle; move clumsily; be in a state of confusion,' as in new recruits floundering in their first week.

BorneTobyWilde · 19-03-2020 09:51PM

We're finding the super spreaders , that's the main thing. Better to know them than no to know them.

"A founder is someone who starts something, but as a verb, founder literally means "to sink." Figuratively, it's "to collapse or fail completely." Here are some examples of sinking and failing:"

So in other words you have zero military training or expertise?

Thanks for the updates.
Guess I'm an unreconstructed old salt.
Good to see standards being upheld in times of crisis.

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

Do you have time to tell us how 45 +/- 2 was within your margin?

HSE is now booking entire hotels in Dublin for overflow of cases. Booking them for 12 months

Hobgoblin11 · 19-03-2020 09:58PM

Bring the soldiers onto the street, all 19 of them

19-03-2020 09:58PM

Which would you rather, test positive for Covid-19 or watch an episode of Mrs Browne's Boys from start to finish?

I believe we are in a war albeit on a cellular level. I think we should "let slip the dogs of war" and get on with it. I just love the entitlement of people thinking they will be treated differently because of their postcode.

Our soldiers are trained for this very scenario and will do a fine job when required to.

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

Would you shut down factories?

We have 7,300 active personnel and 1,663 reserves minus 565 currently on active duty overseas.

We are so sparsely populated that we would need the army in every town and village.

Obviously Dublin, Cork, Limerick and Galway would need more resources than elsewhere.

A week of high profile presence would tell people the **** is real.
Fines for disobedience.

I don't believe Italy's death toll is now higher than China.
