Mackers closing all Irish and UK restaurants tomorrow....bada ba ba ba!

You can probably expect a big queue at some of them before they close so, the need to eat one last burger takes priority over thinking about the well being of others.

I was in Cork city yesterday afternoon and there was a barbers jointed wtf is wrong with people.

Reminds me I need a haircut myself but no way am I going to go to some shop with some guy sneezing in there. Looks like a DIY job with a scissors so

Seen a few videos doing the rounds of the national guard swarming into Chicago and a few other places. A sea of HMVs rolling in, mad enough to see.

eniskerry today - tonnes of people standing outside cafe's
Lucan village today - a load of that lycra clad cycle crew stopping for a non socially distanced coffee at a cafe,

ice cream vans with queues everywhere, gigantic queue at woodies, its like we as a nation are trying to find loopholes to get next to hundreds of people.

Cyclists need to practice social distancing, no groups side by side on busy roads or any roads :mad:

Also why are DIY stores open?

On a normal sunny Sunday you'd be mad to drive anywhere near Enniskerry with all the traffic, never mind during a lockdown

Quite a few cafes, bookshops and fast food places still open today. All with measures in place for social distancing. I'll be supporting these places that stayed open during the troubles.

Should you not support the ones that closed thinking of people instead though

Hopefully there's something in this. It's sounds like an absolute pack of crap though.

Sometimes when I have a cold, and it's cold outside too, I feel it going into my chest easily. I'm working hard with my needles knitting shawls to insulate my chest/torso.

They have smartphones, a mini computer in their hands with maps and all sorts of sh1t and they're too dense to use it.

People with zero cop on, expecting their usual Sunday hangout to be uncrowded but lacking the foresight and brains to fathom out an alternative site. Bloodymindedly, they park up and join the throngs.

maybe then being told monday dublin 13 and 2 allowed out to parks etc. dublin 3 and 12 on tuesday?

And another win for the environment as many of them tend to throw the waste out the window of their cars when they're finished.

Bit unfair as the vast majority of people won't. It only take a few I suppose.

went up to powerscourt waterfall as you can drive almost right up to it without leaving the car, about 200-300 people there playing frisbee, football, having bbq's etc.. like nothing had happened.

You literally just said theirs certainly people who get a second bout of it? Id say that is reinfection no?

No it's not. The virus may remain dormant and then re-activate. This has been suggested extensively. To be "re-infected" they would need to be rid of it in the first place

Just walked passed a Supermacs there. They were flat out, All the staff packed in like sardines bumping into each other.
The drive thru was overloaded so some people parked their cars and went inside, There was a full queue out to the door.

We need a full shutdown of all non essential businesses in this country. Greedy business owners.
I did a google search to try to find out whats Supermacs policy was for this event.
instead I got a link to how he plans to open more businesses and make more money.

The queues at Woodies are precisely because they are following social distancing guidelines : only a limited number of customers allowed enter the store. no under 16s allowed, markings on the floor and they've reduced their opening hours (closing at 6pm every day)

probably hydroxychloroquine

It's not a vaccine, its part of treatment for people who have just become infected. There is indications it might help with the lungs

You'd be tempted alright. Not a meat eater myself and I don't rate the vegetarian food in McDonalds, but I do enjoy the bean burger in Burger King, so if they close for Covid I'll definitely nip in beforehand for one last bite.

They deserve it. Us in the West have shown ourselves up to be a bunch of eejits who would prefer a bag of fish and chips vs staying safe from a deadly virus.

yeah but 100 people inside and 30 waiting outside is still 130 people in a non essential shop....
