Words fail me!

"The Leader understands up to 80 youngsters had crammed into the property in the centre of town where a 21st birthday party was taking place despite repeated calls from government and HSE chiefs for members of the public to refrain from holding large gatherings.

It's also believed a small bar had been set up at the back of the house and involved a family that are involved in an ongoing feud in Longford.

The family, who are well known to gardaí, are also heavily involved in money laundering, drug dealing and violent crime."

A "minority" of the population it seems are immune to COVID-19, parenting and heeding official guidance. A disgrace

Why can’t people take things at face value. Sounds like he was very sick and got a horrible fright.

Because people are full of sh*te and are full of self importance. Have you seen the amount of people that have started to make this about themselves, either how they're affected by it or how they've done so many good deeds.

It's nothing to do with having it all "figured out". I'm going by reports that I've read.

If anyone has anything credible to back up the conspiracy idea, then post it.

There is none. Germany are doing an OK job of trying to minimise the impact. If you test positive then there are 2 lists that get filled out for Category 1 and Category 2 people that were in contact with you in the last 2 weeks based on a defined set of rules. e.g. living together, you were in a certain space of the person on a flight/train, spent more than 15 mins conversing, those would put you in Cat 1.

Category 1 people are put into immediate quarantine, tested and monitored for 14 days. Category 2 people isolate for 14 days and if they show symptoms they are then tested.

Unfortunately it doesn't help for those that are asymptomatic.

It's beyond me how they are not doing the online grocery shopping. They had years to catch up with Tesco.

It's actually a positive if you want to physically go to a shop, as Tesco etc are either struggling to keep the shelves full or have online deliveries with loads of items missing according to folks I've been chatting to. You know everything on the shelf in Dunnes is there for a physical shopper when you go. There's a place for both.

Travellers doing traveller things. Scum.

Knowing and being in the company of many travellers over the years I think this outbreak may hit them very hard. Many travellers socialize in a different way to settled people. They have large family groups that live together and frequent each others house on an everyday basis. They also I would say have more underlying health problems than the settled world, lots of obesity, heart problems and chest issues. If this gets into one or two extended families it will be devastating.

Hopefully Italy with Russian and Chinese help can turn things around against this virus, both have experience in dealing with these type disasters

Big deal if horse racing is still going ahead. Look around you most people are still at work.

I looked around, none of us are at work.
I looked around the estate, every house has its cars in the drive.

“Most” people are certainly not at work.
A considerable portion are out of work.
A considerable portion are working from home.

Both are lying about the cases in their own countries.

Sanctions should be brought against Russia and China.

I think SuperValu has been best, straight away took necessary precautions

Dunnes Stores is good now too

Our local SuperValu has been fantastic but as they operate differently (most are franchised) I wonder if standards vary from store to store?
It's in a stores best interest to do everything they can to keep the customers coming back.
After seeing Aldi very poor attempt today I won't be rushing back there.

Very Hard to turn it around with all the deaths they've had, hopefully stem the tide and get a handle on it is the best Italy can hope for i'm afraid

You honestly found that moving, it screams attention seeking for me. The videos from Italy were moving not some self absorbed attention seeker.

Are we not in near full lock down any way at this stage, more and more things are been shutdown. Over the last few days national parks are close, playgrounds.

Fastfood chains closing down. More and more buissiness directing people to work from home.

By the end of the week we will be at near full lockdown. What else will we need to do ?

As someone who knows travellers do you think they will read the information and adhere to the washing of hands?

Paul Kehoe was on South East Radio earlier asking people who left Dublin etc and headed to their mobile homes in Wexford to go home. It's bad enough being stuck in a house but in a mobile home? Not thanks. How will they control social distancing when the parks are full of kids?

Not learning from the mistakes in Italy and France (where people moved from Milan and Paris to their holiday homes and home towns)

Again, this is what a lot of people are thinking:
"It won't happen to us because:
-we have a younger population
-we have a heathier population
-we have a lower population density
-we flee the nest and don't live with our elders
-we respect the rules "

I'm more or less in lockdown for the past week.

I'm lucky enough to be able to work from home. I go out to the shop only when absolutely necessary, not to get a coffee, but to get the weekly essentials or to go to the chemist.

I go to my Mother's house and bring in the coal and briquettes etc. for her, all while she stays miles away from me as I'm passing through.

And that's it, I go nowhere else unless absolutely necessary.

That's what a lockdown is.

Valhallapt · 23-03-2020 06:05PM

We don’t want an Italy style lockdown. If we shutdown all non essential shops / offices / etc we now we will have very restricted freedom still allowed out to go for a walk or pick up a click and collect. But if people continue to queue half a mile for a bag of chips, we’re going to end up imprisioned in our houses.

But he followed the guidelines? The airports were open. Ryanair was flying. Not his fault.......

From what I've read you shouldn't question the guidelines. At least he is trying to raise awareness.

No next step is everything closed but grocery stores and pharmacies. Not allowed leave home without some kind of government form for essential trip to say supermarket. Army and gardai patrolling streets 24/7.

They next step after that is nobody allowed out of their homes under any circumstances. Food will be brought to you. Anyone disobeying rules are physically locked in homes

Claire Byrne tested positive.

Well they are part of the good guys now. They used to be one of the bad guys. Now they are on the good team. China and Russia are different. They are the bad guys, they used to be the good guys but not any more. It's hard to keep up I know.

Number of hospitalised cases in Lombardy has dropped, this would explain the drop in deaths as the most critical are getting better treatment now.
