I want a shutdown NOW!

realdanbreen

Not in 1 week 2 weeks whatever, NOW!
While most people are adhering to the health advice you cannot expect the gobshytes like those clowns packing beaches and parks to obey unless they are forced to.
Shutdown NOW.

Anyone that agrees stick your name below.

A full lockdown is inevitable once our ICUs reach full capacity

shesty

They have left it quite late though.
I saw a comment from Tony Holohan in a recent briefing that there are smaller numbers of people being contacted when contact tracing is going on suggesting that people are being more careful.

Rose, you remember, what I told you... about the life boats...

Seems a lot of people in the UK think a full on lockdown over there could be announced today and that if it doesn’t happen they could end up worse than Italy :eek:

it could.. i think the best way to contain the virus is to be sensitive and sacrifice a bit

Being serious here, am I overreacting?

i haven't seen my own kids in 2 weeks and i'd usually have them stay over every weekend but we're trying to do the right thing, so yes i'd be fuming at your housemate, showed zero respect to you and anyone else in the house

True

Other video of a drinking session in a van in Rathkeale doing the rounds at the weekend

They would still clog up the hospitals when sick though

Someone posted it on the other thread, we are already in a lockdown, nothing is open we have no where to go. What more do people want.

I for one, do not want my civil liberties remove by lesner defendar

Seriously,my sister has just volunteered for ICU work and my cousin also. They are both in their 50's. How can I say this if its a choice between my sister living and you having to follow rules. Will I just leave it there. This is why we will struggle because we all know our rights but none of our responsibility. My sister had to choose this morning with other members of staff who would get a critical care bed a 66 year old or a 68 year old. Just imagine if she was making that choice about a member of your family. By the way I cant believe 5 people thanked you for that comment I can only surmise they are as selfish as you.

How would a lockdown stop this? The Guards currently have the power to break this up and did.

Some people seem to think a lock-down will involve the army going around shooting people. We don't have enough soldiers for a start, and they currently have better things to be doing than policing the country.

The only thing a lockdown will do is force the law-abiding citizens to do what they are already doing. Worse, it will lead to untold health impacts.

We have to follow the medical advice, not the advice from Twitter.

True that just harder to gather when under a lockdown

Idiots will still be idiots I agree and spoil it for the rest of us

Still though the government are being asked time after time about increased measures

Only a matter of time I feel before they cave in

jem

A full lock down is at this stage madness.
If one is introduced the in effect all business except supermarkets and chemist;s close.
This is un nesecary in the vast majority of cases.
A solicitors office can go about their business and have large physical gaps between people.
Likewise accountants , businesses actually need them now more than ever for advice, for geting in returns , yes the revenue still want them and many do the payrole for small businesses so no accountant no pay.
What about your local petrol station ?
Your locksmith in case you break your key.
The plumber where your washing machine dies.

There are many many more.
Also remember the more that close the more geting social welfare and therefore more coming out of the pot while if left to trade they would be in fact paying into the state funds.
Also the more that close the more that will never open again.

Oh I've been through it and it's really poorly laid out and broken up every few sentences by larger text or a graph. And with respect to the effort he put in he never expands much beyond that summary anyway. In short, it's not a great piece of writing.

Then brings it back with them, no, she should be self isolating like everyone else. It is people like this that are the problem, not the rest of us that are tolerating almost zero human contact and trying not to go up the walls...

Yeah I'm only over 2 weeks in this place (they are Spanish) and I myself go for a run but in isolated areas but I don't have anyone calling over, not even relatives.

No you are not!!! She is clearly one of these who thinks herself above the world. If she wont listen go to the landlord and complain. She could be risking other tenants.
