Sorry Boris your incompetence last week has killed thousands over too late you idiot

When this is over there'll be an inquiry. Many will want him thrown into prison. Some will want himself and Cummings put up against a wall and shot.

Borris's "Lockdown".
It's too lax.
Same in Ireland i'm afraid.

What is needed is firm, robust lockdown on all non-essential shops and activities.
Need numbers of visible police and army on the street to set the tone.

But you can only lockdown for three weeks or so before people start to go stir crazy and just disobey it. There are 25 in ICU beds at the minute with Covid 19, that's a manageable number. As that number starts to rise, yes you tighten restrictions but not when it isn't nessesery yet.

During storm emma we had a craving for bread, with this corona virus one of the main symptoms is people developing a craving for a big mac.

two friends of mine are taking that decision themselves tomorrow.
One has forced his manager to allow him WFH as he can do so no problem, the other works in a retail chain and is petrified as they are doing virtually nothing to keep the staff safe.

Mary Lou is correct - if a workplace cannot guarantee as much as they can the safety of their employees in the wrokplace, they should arrange WFH or close.

my missus works in an old peoples home, and while no visitors are allowed in, the staff do not wear masks...seemingly no need as the virus isnt in the hospital and they have been told it would only panic the patients.
its confused me a bit...if the virus got in, to my understanding it would be in at least a couple of days before symptoms showed....and is potentially panicing a patient worse than potentially passing on the virus if you had it.
maybe i'm looking at it wrong.
cant really have a good conversation with missus over it as shes working long hours and tired and gets irritated with me trying to debate anything to do with the virus with her.

Life would have been easier in London during The Blitz, at least after the German bombers had done their work you could enjoy yourself until the next wave came.

The possibly exploding bit sucked, but at least you could go to the tube station. You could stay there all night if you wanted.

Bit of a faux pas there

A while ago there was some expert (on Ebola, I think) who said speed is more important than being right in an epidemic, and it will always seem like too much of a reaction in the beginning and too little in the end. Something like that. Anyone know who this was? Perhaps I am not remembering correctly. But I thought at the time this person is correct. People in charge do not want to look like nervous ninnies...but they should not care about that.

IFA looking for help for beef farmers in this trying time. Jaysus christ, they never waste a crisis.

Maybe they could cull a few beasts and plant some spuds and veg. Keep themselves fed at least

The immediate happy demise of Cumming aside, it was on medical advice. They were chasing herds for good bit.

Ireland has been doing great, lets get real, every town and city in Ireland is a ghost town, yes a few sneaky pups open in rural places, and people going on trips to scenic areas, but that's a drop in the ocean to what we have achieved regarding distancing .
We haven't seen '' sardine in a tin'' type gathering in Ireland, like we've seen in the UK in the past two weeks.

Embrace the NEET lifestyle - they don't get cabin fever at all.

They have an evolutionary advantage.

That's the best thing he could have said. People losing their nerve and descending into outbursts at the behaviour of strangers is for internet commenters, not the leader of a country.
