    Why are the EU countries not disinfecting the streets like they did all over China and South Korea? The virus stays suspended in the air and then drops to the ground where it can stay for between 3 and potentially 9 days. The floors in shopping centres or just out and about are probably absolutely rampant with it.

    I thought I was going to be able to sit this out but my brother has epilepsy and my mother just rang me this evening and let it slip that she didn't manage to pick up his prescription last week. The GP was understandably backlogged, so it will only be at the pharmacy tomorrow. There's no way I'm sending her in to pick it up so I get to go to the pharmacy right beside the epicentre of the virus in the South to collect about six slabs of nutritional supplement and various drugs from them. Hooray.

    She also needs perishables, fruits and veg for a strict diet he's on for seizure regulation. I'm not at all confident that they're even safe to eat. It's stuff like strawberries and mushrooms. If he doesn't adhere to the diet, he has intense seizures which he could also die from. Fúckin catch 22.

    Serious question: How do you leave the house in the morning?

    Went for Aldi shop tonight , No social distancing in shop at all , too many people too , and shelves empty again .

    Yet across road in Lidl they restrict numbers entering shop . Small queue to enter . Should have gone there. All shops need to implement better measures for customer protection

    Their starting it tomorrow along with supplying hand sanitiser and gloves, plastic screens will be up by next week message went around to employees tonight.

    I went to Aldi too tonight, after staying in days.
    Agreed, no social distance or tape on floor.

    It was quiet enough though. Kept distance in the small queue. Didn't see any hand sanitiser on the doors.

    Feel sorry for the teller staff though.

    I was in two different Dunnes in my locality today and there were huge restrictions such as latex gloves for customers, markings on the floor, everyone 2m apart, only one customer allowed near the checkout at a time (and people were following them all without complaint).

    RedFM spreading the news that 62 of the 191 were from cork when it was 62 of the 350. Messaged them so hoping they fix the mis-information :/

    Wow complete lockdown in Argentina until April. No free movement on Streets. Prison sentence for anyone who violates terms. Argentina has recorded at least 20 cases of community transmission.
    In these past few weeks it is astonishing how many first time in living history type events have occurred all over the world

    Yes but not all shops have contactless.

    I noticed from videos that people in China were using the tip of a ballpoint pen to touch lift buttons etc.

    Could also be used for punching in pin numbers.

    But, how effectively transmissible is that? Do you mean for medical staff?

    I mean, it's OK to have someone in a coffin.
    Sorry, I missed the context of the question.

    I know it’s the apocalypse and all but why did you put an apostrophe for cinemas and not the other two? Genuinely curious?!

    According to this NY Times article you still have to be physically close to an infected person to be infected by the aerosol method even if it hangs around for 30 minutes as the concentration drops to extremely low levels. You would have insane rates of infection otherwise IMO.

    Not peer reviewed, another scientist actually criticises the lab conditions they used, in that very same article.
