    The jealousy is strong now, the British will look after their workers. Here we're left whistling in the wind with loads of half hearted promises. Mark my words, Irish banks will come out of this with swollen coffers. We're collectively docile on economic matters.

    Social distancing in Ireland is farcical. Many people not listening and carrying on as normal. Infuriating.

    Boris has basically destroyed us.

    We will do the same.

    But we can't afford it.

    How much paper do they have? Ramifications of it could indeed last years. While our economic approach may seem mean by comparison, it is more prudent and can and will respond with more as needed.

    They'll be the prime recipient of funds from the big bad EU via the ECB.


    They will be beaten down like Greece.

    We could see them leave the Euro and even the EU.

    Germany must not publish how many are in a serious/critical conditions. Over a dozen have died over the last 48 hours but still says 2 in serious condition for several days now, despite many thousands of new cases
    Germany does not even publish the split between:

    -cases treated at home in quarantine - because they have none or lesser symptoms

    -and cases treated in hospital.
    (Italy does publish this split, every day)

    So we have no way of learning from the handling of this epidemy by Germany.

    The lock-down is probably too recent to be bearing fruit yet. It takes a few days for symptoms to emerge, a number of more days for a person to be tested and a result published, and more days still for the person to die or recover.

    However the Chinese Red Cross were apparently pretty appalled by the quality of the lock-down, saying that they could see people socializing, public transport running, people out and about.

    We're meant to be social distancing, yet we are doing the exact same as Italy, people out and about, public transport going. We will only be getting worse.

    id be more worried how long dole is feasible in Ireland, we have good chunk out of work already, if any more closures when factories cave in, there will be 10k each day signing on, the longer it goes, think italy is in ruins it will be same here.

    Worldometers says 15k new cases in Italy, almost certain it said 6k a few minutes ago, what's the story with this?


    It certainly said 4.3k a few minutes ago when I looked at it. I was about to comment that this would hopefully be the start of a trend back down.

    Where do you think the british government are going to get the money to 'look after the workers'?

    Were Italy's new cases actually revised up to 15,000 or is that a glitch ?

    More convinced I have it now. Past the infectious stage and am self isolated by doctor until late next week. Tight chest and laboured breathing is main symptoms for me.

    I have the tight chest and laboured breathing too. Much worse when I exert myself at all. By which I mean put clothes in or out of the washing machine. I'm athletically fit and have never had so much as a chest infection in my life so breathing problems are completely new to me. I have fatigue, muscle aches and a sore throat too. No fever or cough. GP is referring me for a test but has said I'm likely to be better by the time I get an appointment as I'm not a high risk referral.

    Health professionals there under ferocious pressure, recoveries very slow to gain any traction.

    Italy 43.40%, dead/resolved currently, Hubei 53.85% 4th Feb, down to 5.39% by 28th Feb.

    Hopefully Italy starts follow the same trend by the end of the month, but really fearful.

    Devaluing the local currency is the only option for this sort of mess.

    Bailouts are useless. They have to be paid back.

    They can probably borrow money @ 1% (I am basing that off of what the USA can borrow at) - which is effectively free when you take inflation into consideration (the principle isn't free obviously).

    The first picture in particular would suggest otherwise. The city is empty.

    There is nothing wrong with people keeping to within their family and going out, be it for a walk down to the beach or up the mountains, wherever.

    Most shops locally to me are closed, only supermarkets and pharmacies still open.

    Most people are listening and implementing social distancing, are all people? No of course not and more needs to be done but we've 100% changed our habits already

    That will be gone in jig time. Six months from now we'll have the red carpet at Dublin Airport out for the IMF again. Or at the docks if the planes are still grounded.
