Are you for real???!!!! Technology will have to replace face to face meeting for the moment!!!! Small price to pay. Everyone is acutely aware of how this will affect everyone, not just teenagers, but there's no other choice - unless you're completely irresponsible and selfish.

Once this thing takes hold in Africa its going to be Carnage. Entire townships with not an ounce of medical backup will be decimated.

Was thinking the exact same yesterday watching a news report from South Africa. It will wipe out millions in Africa I would think.

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

Just say where it is and there is a massive fight going on there. Hang up if asked for your id.

Then post the pub name on social media/ local paper etc.

I don’t see why idiots who open/attend should NOT be called out, since the vast majority are doing their best to comply with advice.

Don't think it will have as big an impact in Africa as elsewhere, looking at the DRC only 2.5% of their population are over 65. Countries like Brazil and India are the ones I worry about most.

Is there numbers for how many tests have been ordered and how many people are still waiting. What's the capacity for testing per day? I'd say the numbers that are being released are a fraction of the people that have it.

I cant say but over time the cases should follow the pattern , Italy is at a crucial point and the cases and death toll need to level out to give others hope.

Just bear in mind just how many other people have the same idea! Went to my nearest beach, people everywhere. Went to amenity walkway, car park full so went for a stroll around the nearby industrial estate. Nobody walks there.

This is a good time to discover your local countryside. Stay away from the well known places as everyone will have the same idea. Plenty of guides in the internet about less known local walks. Better still, get out the maps and design your own walks.

I was in Aldi in Ennistymon this evening and a young lady from a well known ethnic group was walking around coughing and no regard for anyone.
The nice lady at the till told me that's the 4th time she came in and did that today.

It looked like she was testing people's tolerance, then off out to the hi ace or whatever they call them ffs

Im not racist by the way, seriously

Easier to track the amount that have died as a result from corona... that's much easier to follow and then reverse engineer from there.. The numbers in Italy are probably really 100s of thousands..Or maybe not. I don't know. But I do know there are alot of ppl that got referred since Monday who havent got tested yet so at the very least.. Our numbers mean very little.

It could be worse there because they have much poorer medical facilities that Europe.

Name and shame any pubs that are open. Legal or not its the height of irresponsibility. Go on their twitter, facebook etc and lift them out of it. Might make them stop. If you pass one take a timestamped photo.

I also can't understand the figures out of india. Les cases than here (hard to believe), 5 deaths. Another country with huge poverty and massively dense population.

America could be the outlier here. 1st world country with 3rd world cities existing inside their cities. Those people won't get a second thought. Look what they did to Flint in normal times.

Maybe the guards should take a leaf out of Chinas book and weld them into the pub. At least they can drink away without the risk of infecting anyone else then haha

30,000 test kits arrived yesterday and more on order. The lab in UCD stated in RTE they were running 900 tests per day and we hear capacity.I guess 1,000 tests per day is their limit.

New labs coming on line but test capacity unknown. I suspect number would be low. Getting the lab up and running is hard enough but scaling the test is a reliable manner will be the challenge.

Shops are necessary, pubs are not, and I very much doubt such establishments will insist on social distancing..

They should be named and shamed.

This might sound stupid but you have to be taught how to take off contaminated gloves as you could easily contaminate your hands while taking off the gloves.

People also need to be taught effective hand washing...

The exact same logic could be used regarding that ...

Perhaps we need the same level of coverage as is being pushed for proper hand washing

It's really not rocket science ....
