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

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.

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

Any breakdown of world or local deaths by age?

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

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

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?

How do you know that it will happen or be six months?

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

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.

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

It won't be the same trend, unfortunately.

The Italian idea of a lockdown isn't the same as the Chinese idea of a lockdown (or wasn't at the beginning) so it will be a good while before they get a hold on this.

The Irish can only dream of what the Tories gives the Brits.

Free GP visits.
Free school books.
Lower income tax and no USC
Rail links to airports.
A much better train network.
Some of the world's best universities.
Etc etc.

We don't have our own currency.

We have to do what the Germans tell us.

He knows everything. If only he could be used by Boris for his Brexit negotiations, the EU would sh!t themselves at the site of the pubstool politician that is Humberto staggering towards the negotiating table. :pac:

50 billion would be closer to whats required but our government have been swimming without trunks.

We don't call the pandemic that swept through the world between 1918 and 1920, killing an estimated 50 - 100 million people, the American virus. Academically it is referred to as the 1918 influenza pandemic.

Trump is engaging in low brow xenophobic rabble rousing in his insistence in how he repeatedly refers to the current pandemic. Maybe “severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2)” is beyond his feble intellect.

He's a dangerous idiot. Someone should ask him if he thinks SARS-CoV-2 will be a bigger problem than the 1918 American virus that killed 50 - 100 million people worldwide.

You talking about the colloquially named Spanish Flu of 1918?
