It is kind of scary though how quick these things escalate. Imagine if something happened to our food supplies, like some kind of blight again, that kills plants. We'd be gone in no time. I think we need to reassess everything, especially how we treat nature, and stop this exponential growth.
People will want things back to how they were though asap, that's the problem.

There's class of contributor to this thread (and others here) that will have no truck with environment concerns and yet that's what created this farrago!

The Dutch have a high death rate for population 17 million.

In the Netherlands, the number of confirmed cases of coronavirus has risen by 637 to a total of 3,631, Dutch health authorities said in their daily update on Saturday, with 30 new deaths. The total death toll in the Netherlands now stands at 136.

Wow! I am overwhelmed by the heart warming emails I'm receiving from the CEO's of corporations who I've bought from in the past worried about my well being, I thought these people would be holed up in their mansions so I am very impressed with their diligence and concern. Literally dozens of them!

You must be really stupid if you think it came from the CEO

Well done to my local super valu on the old social distancing. Red lines where you have to stand behind. Gloves and hand sanitizer at the door. Staff wearing gloves. Good stuff and customers were adhering to it.

Yep, credit to Supervalu, our local one has been very pro- active over the last few weeks. I feel quite reassured going in there.

Have to agree, the most proactive of all the major retailers. Tesco have been possibly the worse.

And those screens were being put up as I was there. Maybe it was seeing the red lines marked out on the ground and the gloves in full view but it will help people I think.

The one in liffey valley were only letting certain numbers in. Red lines on the ground outside the queue and red lines by all the tills. All staff wearing gloves.

Shame about the f*cling idiots climbing over each other to look at aisles. No social distancing when shopping it seems...

I just dropped groceries to my mum who lives next door, she was like a bag of cats, nothing was right. She's high risk but she doesn't have to leave the house, as she's got me and my partner on one side and my brother and his wife on the other side. She's normally quite active between bridge, Irish conversation classes and yoga (she's 82) but I had to have a stern word with her and explain we are probably talking months not weeks with this and that she was more fortunate than others in her position.

Got any numbers to back this up?

I think some people would like the see the US and UK 'rightly screwed' so as to fully expose Trump and Boris as the gee bags they are.

Not a healthy mindset.

Without a doubt if the death toll is not sky high, there is going to be some very disappointed posters on here.

I honestly dont get the irish obsession with road traffic deaths?! It is literally car crash media.

I'd guess it's only because figures started plunging from the 400s in the late 90s to around 160-200 after drink-driving laws were taken seriously.

22 new cases in Northern Ireland.

108 altogether.

Disappointed ghoulish posters you mean. Infections and deaths will never get bad enough for these types.

Tesco giving their staff a 10% bonus.

Serves you right if you went to the Ilac centre in the current environment.

Quite rioght one should only shop in M&S during a pandemic or dispense with the need for food altogether.

Miss the point much or just always.

In other news Claire Byrne has just ordered a bigger shed.

How on earth is this a sensible policy?
Just because there is no person to person contact, this is not social distancing. Dangerous for testers AND customers

This is interesting. Losing your sense of smell may be a symptom of Covid-19.

More than double yesterday's rate, but hopefully they've also ramped up testing.

It will be. No doubt at all about that.

A friend of mine was saying that in his area in Dublin city centre, mice and rats are getting braver and desperate because less footfall means less people are throwing away food in the streets. His neighbour has caught 2 rats in is house in the last week. This has never happened to him before.
