    UK closing shops is that what he said?

    Any employer in the country can get a grant to cover wages in UK to cover 80% of salary up to €2,500 per month

    Has grown in stature during the crisis, I only hope his health holds up, and that he does not do himself more serious long-term damage.

    My opinion of FG as whole remains totally unmodified.

    Leo, the two Simons and Helen McEntee are carrying a largely turgid party

    OK PREDICTION TIME FOLKS!!!!

    Coronavirus stats coming out in the next few hours. Do you guys think we have managed to flatten the curve?!

    IMO will be around 500 new infections, we saw the rise in US today and it definitely shows the difference that these new testing methods are making to identifying cases quickly. We also have a lot more people getting tested and the virus has certainly spread throughout the major cities at this stage.

    Do not post in this thread again

    It looks like Italy are heading towards herd immunity whether they want to or not. Poor fcukers.

    Italy's numbers today are horrific. No other word for it. There is no sign of a let up at all.

    Not good.

    Many will be dying. People's survival instincts will kick in. It will be better. Will adapt to this new social norm

    Do you think older people will be prepared to go without seeing their grandchildren for months on end? Of course not

    How can they afford this? Would love something like this here, but will certainly not happen


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,479 ✭✭✭landofthetree


    :@pkelso
    Government grants to cover 80% of salaries up to £2,500 pcm for staff who cannot work because of virus. Applies for thee months with no limit on total spending. Historic intervention


    The evil Tories.

    Bailing out the middle classes yet again.

    I'm glad I'm not in the UK. :rolleyes:

    Meanwhile Irish workers get F all.

    Irish government found a 3 billion magic money tree last week, but lets bash the Brits, eh ?

    The same can happen here.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,809 ✭✭✭Hector Savage


    Italy 5986 new cases, 627 new deaths - worst day yet for them.


    I actually have felt like praying lately .... it's nuts


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,817 ✭✭✭SleetAndSnow


    That is horrific for Italy my heart really is breaking. Really thought we would see a reduction in numbers by now. Recoveries seem to have jumped a bit though some good news
