    They will have to leave the Euro IMO.

    Why?

    How long is that feasible?
    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.

    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.

    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.

    At least they have one. We're relying on Lagarde and her minions for handouts.
    Not yet we're not, we've €3bn to hand to spend.

    Nothing seems to be working in Italy.
    Aside from the obvious, their economy is going to be in ruins for a very long time
    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.

    Why?

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

    Bailouts are useless. They have to be paid back.

    Ohh....back to +5,986 now. Must have been a glitch?

    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).

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

    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.

    No it doesn't - maybe they've just changed it

    Asked to close which is not the same thing.

    Technically true. But if they don't do what is asked, they will be told. Semantics

    . But it's Thatcher's fault or something.

    Say global new cases will hit 30k today. France, UK yet to report, with many more reports from the US this evening


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,712 ✭✭✭YFlyer


    The Ennis priest on The Hard Shoulder talking about their online mass.

    Said that after mass, they open the doors of the church for people to enter for private prayer or reflection. Surely that should be stopped?

    Just rechecked it yeah it jumped from 6k to 15k

    Tomorrows deaths will be horrific

    I was in town today and the city wasn't even close to being as quiet as the photos look. They just have waited ages to get that photo of same street with nobody on it.

    The UK paying 80% of monthly wages up to £2.5k for those workers impacted is unreal. Makes our €203 a week (€880 a month) seem miniscule in comparison.
