My least favourite word "impacted" has become ubiquitous since this hit.

I don't see why they would. Financially nothing much has changed for them.

What if you lost your job of 5 years in february for instance? You don't think financial circumstances have changed? And job prospects are just as tough?

One person is on €203 and a month later another person receives €350.

Its crazy. I get people don't want scroungers getting a rise, but being lumped in with the scroungers here is a kick in the balls.

Has the basic pandemic payment of 203 being raised?

AllGunsBlazing · 24-03-2020 05:46PM

I assume corner stores like mace or centra can stay open?

JP Liz V1 · 24-03-2020 05:46PM

I am glad marts and markets are closing, should have been closed earlier imho

Is an off licence essential or non essential? Have they got a list

In the US they did it state by state. New York deemed it Essential. Pittsburgh did not

Why would they? This isn’t the budget. They’re introducing measures for people who have recently been laid off due to the virus. Not giving out one for everyone in the audience

I was let go just before this kicked in. I have very little chance of getting work in the foreseeable future. Yet someone let go now is far better off. Not very fair. Not just because it directly effects me but it's clearly not treating people the same.

Churches are not holding public masses with several days I understand.
It can still be a place of solace for some to go on their own though.

Don't see how that is crazy.

Supermarkets have Off Licences

True but do we want to be stuffing another throng of people in to the supermarkets who are just there to pick up their 6 pack or bottle of plonk?

The Mosque was closed for Friday prayers last week.

It's good they are keeping factories with 500-600 employees open tho , this should work out real well

snowgal · 24-03-2020 05:49PM

Did anyone hear anything on transport? I seem to have missed it.....thanks

Why should they? They haven't lost out on anything additional due to this.

On the contrary, there's less and less for them to spend it on so they're actually up compared to normal!

murpho999 · 24-03-2020 05:49PM

Ok, so are we all happy now.

No more demands for places to be shut down.

No doubt as the numbers increase in the fututre, which is guaranteed , people here will state the measures are not working, government should have banned flights in December, curfews should be imposed and army should shoot all people on the streets after 6pm unless carrying a bag of shopping.

It’s not about people who were on SW before the ****storm getting a pay rise.

Anyone know where to find the list of essential businesses

Grocery shops
Pharmacies
Phone/BB Provision
Pharmaceutical
Infrastructure Upkeep

More I'm sure, but for the everyday Joe the top two are all they will care about.

By the time this is over we're all going to be going around with very long hair

Does anybody know whether Randox virus sample analytic equipment is in use in ROI?

But you have just said you where not effected by the virus, You where let go before hand, People have been let go purely due to Corna (act of god) you have not been,

How is that hard to understand ?

Yeh, seems a bit unfair in that case. Maybe pay the 350 to people who are getting payments based on their PRSI contributions.

So is it April 19th or 12 weeks?

Particularly given the age profile of attendees, but am I correct in thinking the churches aren't doing regular services at the moment?

24-03-2020 05:52PM

Hopefully the hotels move stops the tourists coming in. Essential (non-social & non-tourist) occupancy only. No doubt it's a move to create more bed space if needed. Hotels will have to do mass cancellations (if there are any bookings to be cancelled at this stage) and advise those affected accordingly I'm guessing.

Cupatae · 24-03-2020 05:52PM

I wonder will all the people that look down there nose at the Dole take the handout of 400 should be a interesting conflict ðŸ€£ðŸ€£

I’d be advocating good health over solace. I’d be saying if you love your neighbor, keep the fûck away from them, if you want solace stay on your own as opposed to entering big fûck off buildings where people congregate, touching pews, furniture and all the rest.

Harry Palmr · 24-03-2020 05:52PM

Will DIY superstores be considered non essential?

If you spring a leak and need a length of pipe that's where I'd be going.
