Where exactly are you getting hand sanitizer from? I haven’t seen a bottle of the stuff in weeks The Aldi in Ennis had a bottle of shower spray at the door to ‘disinfect’ people on the way in. (I don’t think heavily diluted vinegar is a proven disinfectant) and there wasn’t a single bottle of anti bacterial spray left anywhere in the shop, or any shop I’ve been in recently

Yes. As I said, there was a "female pedestrian" killed by a car yesterday in Offaly. She was in fact a teenage girl who died in a most horrific way. And no one cares, it barely gets a mention on the news.

7 people died on our roads in one weekend recently. Young people, who had alot of life left in them. Completely forgotten

I smoked a couple of joints last night. I think that made it feel worse. Went for a walk/ jog to clear the head. Not too bad now. Might chance a bag of crisps with a cheese toasty

Try sticking your head in a bucket of water for about 5 minutes ... takes the edge right of your symptoms

Government will have to cover ip to 70% of peoples wages who have been made redundant or else the economy may collapse apparently.

Covid19 to cost the country at least 34 billion all in.

Any update on testing waiting times? My brother is waiting since last Saturday...gp has tried every day to get him a test. 7 days waiting, now is this not being reported? Does the HSE think the testing delays are less than that? Even if he does get a call for a test, In how many days time will that be? Plus waiting for results? That’s a turnaround time of about 2 weeks from first asking for a test.

Nice pipe dream. That's not realistic.

well played Indo, this mornings headline is about some poor woman who died 'terrified' and 'alone'.

Its not the first time the Indo is guilty of this low level of reportage. A few weeks ago the headline was about the 80k - 100k of people who would contract this, and a week later on the front page was how there would be no funerals.

In a time where people need comforting and reassurance, and the country is going to pull together to help people try and get through this, the Indo is busy reminding us that there is no hope.

The Indo is for lighting the fire, and also if there is a toilet roll shortage.

Not a chance and not necessary. Enough money to feed yourself and pay your bills is sufficient. Mortgages should be deferred.

The UK is talking about 80% for employees if their bosses keep them employed but no support for self employed so they're basically offering nothing and playing smoke and mirrors. Pay your staff but go under yourself. Fcuking stupid stuff

If they do this, there must be incentives to spend and not hoard it, to spend some of it on non essential items.

I’m going to empty out my change bottle and count it. That won’t take too long so I’m also going to divide the coins into their years and see when my bottle was in recession

Shows the damage Airbnbs have done to the rental market for ordinary people.

That's incredible. Well spotted.

The indo is a rag, it might as well print their header in red to fit in with the rest.

The rental market will collapse if we enter a prolonged recession. Watch rates drop.

I know two people who are both waiting for tests since early last week.

Seems to be going unnoticed by the media during their Leo & Simon love in.

Come on - who live tweets their parents death?

And it worked - plenty of coverage on this site and front page of the indo today.
Was it even CV 19 with so many underlying issues?

Do you go to Tesco and threaten them if they ask you to pay for your groceries? How about when you fill the car with diesel. Do you threaten them when they say " any fuel?"

Saw a couple of council lads digging out road drains the other day, jcb and shovel man. Both had obviously been supplied with face masks and supposed to wear them. But not very practical in the real world, yer man working the shovel had his worn like a hat. I suppose he could pull it down quickly if a supervisor came along.
