    I know bloody well the numbers are going to go up... If the rate of increase exceeds our medical services capability then the BIG problems start.

    We have been timidly reactive and not aggressively proactive so far.

    I fear what is coming because of that failure.

    Seriously, how can you say that with the country basically shut down and 90% of it's citizens staying at home day to day.


    How can you say there has been a failure?

    We had a milkman put a leaflet through the door. I was furious, my partner not so much. Think's the man was doing no harm.

    Check it properly...maybe it was a love note...

    Am I the only that while appreciating them wanting to come home also think they should stay and help the people there?

    I am trying to think if a large cohort from say the Philippines went home to help and left us short, but then would most likely expect to just return here after

    Have to say I'd understand the going home but would be a tad bitter if they just expected to waltz back after things settled

    It is unfair on the Australians for sure. They've taken them in and allowed them to live and work there, but as an Irishman sitting in Ireland, I don't really care, bring them home!

    LOCKDOWN!!! Sorry :)


    Under significant new restrictions to be announced after today's Cabinet meeting, a large number of people working today, will not be going to work tomorrow, Health Correspondent Fergal Bowers reports.

    The measures are likely to take in restaurants, cafés, hairdressers and a range of other service sectors regarded as non-essential.

    Restrictions will also be introduced for outside gatherings.

    While the measures will not be an exact replica of what has been announced in the UK, they will be significant.

    Priority testing for health staff including GPs will be introduced.

    General health testing will be increased for those with symptoms.

    Officials believe these are the correct measures now, for the right period of time, however further measures are expected in the weeks ahead.

    Exactly.....not everyone has same symptoms....even more reason that she should have believed that it absolutely could be Covid....

    Fever is one sign.....it's not D only sign, and it's not a sign that HAS to be present....

    I knew that weeks ago.....and I am not presenting bloody programmes on it...
    Seemingly a fever isn't present all the time and if it is, .manifests itself after a few days. They should be saying ANY cold/flu symptoms.isolate

    The postman is doing the same to be fair.

    Not much difference in touching the leaflet and touching products in a shop that you are buying.

    How do you manage when you go shopping? Do you spray everything that you are buying down?

    No, I get that. But I feel that the postman is delivering necessary mail.

    The milkman, not so much :)

    Why can't we publish more detailed information. This is a pandemic and spread by person to person contact. You can't actually personally identify any of the people below unless you already know them? Seems insane that privacy is more important ant people's lives.

    The UK should send Ireland a bill for all the Irish who are currently in the country or maybe we should just do our best to help everyone at this time?

    Spray down packaging ? Really?

    I got an amazon delivery yesterday. Postman rang doorbell,left box at door and returned to his van.

    I came down acknowledged him and he explained that no signature was required.

    I took packaging off product, disposed of it and then washed hands as extra measure.

    Job done.

    I don’t know how they expected social distancing while the tube was still running.
    Same with the buses, they’re usually packed.

    Because they cut the number of tube trains running.. they need to go back to full service

    Does he want to put his massive tool in your box?

    The majority of these have been closed in my local town for over a week now. My OH owns a grocery store and they've already introduced a queuing system outside with 2m spacing and no customers are allowed in store (to protect their staff).
