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

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.

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.

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.

Just curious as to how others feel about people dropping leaflets in door's, during this time.

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.

I ordered a take away, delivery. It arrived and I pointed to just leave it at the door. It was prepaid by card. He kept looking for me to open the door . Why?
To give me a fcucking receipt .
I was fuming

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

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).

I am not calling the WHO incompetent and I am sure it is full of very good people. But at the end of the day it is a very political organisation and what it says is both driven by medical expertise and geopolitics. For exemple it was very late to call it a pandemic in order to save face for China, it is reluctant to recommend travel restrictions due to political correctness, and it doesn’t want to recommend widespread use of masks for the general public as it knows many country just don’t have the stocks and it is afraid of causing panic/uproar in their populations.

That is not true.. they declared it was a pandemic when it actually was one.

Declaring a pandemic too early would have caused some countries to stop tracing contacts and to give up on confronting the virus aggressively.

The reason they do not recommend travel restrictions is to make sure that trade continues and things like PPEs for the front line medical staff are available everywhere.

All of them if you can.

The safest approach is to consider that everybody you meet could have CoViD-19 and potentially give it to you. Similarly act as if you might have it and want to avoid giving it to anyone else.

Know of very few of those locally who are even operating and aside from supermarkets and pharmacies not much else is open.

I had really bad diarrhea from last Wednesday evening until Sunday along with constant stomach cramps, was somewhat cold but no fever or cough and I'm fine now.

Has anyone experienced the same and been referred for twstt. Don't wanna bother the doctor with ringing. Have been off work anyway since Friday last

Unfortunately could well be. That's why testing important. Any number of symptoms can present in any order. Given that this thing is so deadly for older / immunocompromised people self isolation really important no matter what the degree of symptoms.

Staying at home a good shout, why risk if you don't have to.

So you are worried about the guy delivering it but have no concern about who cooked it, what precautions they took?

Agreed, I drove through greystones yesterday and everything except chemists, banks, supermarkets and O'Briens was closed.

Same around Dalkey.

We need more compliance of the 2m rule. That in itself will cause aditional closures.

I find a bit of arrogance from the young Irish doctors and nurses working in Australia wanting to come home to "Help".

They actually asked for a chartered flight just for them.

Thats wrong how would we cope if all the Australian, Indian, Polish doctors and nurses went home the health service would collapse overnight.
