Who do I rat them out to if it's not illegal?

The Guards can go down and ask them to close, which they will!

Why do we need more Gardai? What are they doing to tackle coronavirus?

I mean the pubs are closed, very little in the way of public disorder. Even the scumbags appear to be self isolating. Roads are very quite leading to less road collisions and harder to do people for driving over the limit! I'm not sure what the rush was to get them out of templemore.

Very possible the lockdown will become more severe for a time during April. In which case they will definitely be required.

If I ring the guards about a pub being open can I remain anonymous does anyone know?

On a final point, is there anything worse than the old biddies sitting on their computer moaning about a few teenagers having a chat with their friends. They're only kids who are already putting up with huge restrictions on their lives. How would you have felt at 16 if you were told to spend the next two months with nobody only your family. Give the whinging a break.

You come across like one of those teenagers to me.
In this day and age we have phones, video calls, texting.
Those young people could be responsible for an older personal getting infected and dying.
Of course as long as they don't know about know they caused the death it doesn't really matter does it?!

We are self isolating . What's the protocol on taking the kids to the beach to stave off cabin fever. Won't go near anyone , just drive there, let them run around for an hour or two then into the car and home. Is that still allowed?

A guy from work (who is out) has his mother (80s) rushed into Galway presenting with all the symptoms. I heard about it at work. Spoke to him (he called). I know him well. He sound like a shell of himself. This stuff is scary as F****. She is septic, pneumonia and a lot of underlying issues. My heart is breaking for the man. Guys and gals, mind yourself out there. I am taking a break from this thread because I am mentally drained from all of this. I still maintain tourism activities should have been stopped at the sources (flights, tour operators, buses and tourism sites around the country) and the government should have acted on this sooner to limit the damage. My 2 cents. I wish you all and your loved ones the best.

Sorry to sound morbid. I am just burned out.

No, you have fallen for the nonsense peddled by the alarmists. Current global average temperature is about 14.5°C. Lets say it gets to 20°C - that's the annual average temperature of Sydney. Clearly no one could possibly live in Sydney so everyone will die. The optimum temperature for photosynthesis is around 30°C. So if the planet warms up, and there is more CO2 in the atmosphere, plants, given enough water, will go absolutely mental. The very reason there is so much coal and oil is thought to be because of exactly this - abundant plant growth, which supported vast and abundant animal life, namely the dinosaurs.

Fun fact: For the length of time there has been life on Earth, most of that time there weren't any polar ice caps, because it was much warmer than at present - like mid twenties. The time slice in which we live is one of the coldest periods life on Earth has ever known.

There was also a lot less land and there wasn't 8 billion people on the planet hell bent on poisoning every river, stream and sea. Keep convincing yourself with the fairy stories though.

If they ask , just say you would rather not give your name.

What does it mean when Tony says some are hospitalised for public health reasons rather than clinical reasons?

If you remember, all the early cases identified were hospitalised whether this was necessitated clinically or not. (Possibly it assisted the medics in getting more familiar with clinical features?). This is no longer happening but the numbers are still included in the statistics and may give a distorted impression of the number with severe symptoms so far.

Definitely go somewhere or you will go a bit mad. Just maintain a decent distance from other people.
I am still walking the dog two or three times a day, just avoiding people and picking quieter places to walk him

If its a country pub I wouldn't bother.

Guards are probably inside drinking with the locals.

So its now a week since the "lockdown" and by not going out bar to the supermarket if I catch it now it's because of some knacker in the supermarket invading my space!

Lads I just think this deserves sharing. A team in Galway are currently trying to design an easily built and put together ventilator which can be rapidly built and deployed. It's to be an open source device so anyone or any nation will be free to use the designs to make their own. Non profit

Saw it in the journal this morning

https://www.thejournal.ie/emergency-ventilators-ireland-5051956-Mar2020/

They currently have about 36k of the 50k needed, just said I'd share it

Target of €50,000 met and passed

You’d be afraid to admit you tested positive on here as someone would look for a source 😜

Possible you have it or not showing symptoms yet, or you may not ever show symptoms. Or you could touch the shopping basket, then touch your face and get it. You are minimising the chances though

Encouraged, but taking into account social distancing protocols. No point in having hundreds crowding onto a small beach. People need to consider their surroundings and if they feel they can stay away from others

Thankfully, he'd have to invade your space for 15 minutes to make any difference, so the actual trolley/basket is your biggest danger there!

New York could get bad.

Cases have tripled and 1 in 5 need hospital care.

The Naval ship Trump promised them is in for repairs.

Average 5-6 days incubation, outlier at 14 days - wish Lidl would do more enforcing like Tesco et al

This is extremely important to know. gmisk and mugsy are correct here. Get out but stay away from other people is the general guidance here. Your sanity depends on it.

If we miss Leo's prediction by 10,000 by the end of the month, it is a sign that everything which has been done worked, rather than it wasn't needed.
