Well hopefully that’s a good sign for number today?
I’m sure they know how it’s trending today and have not seen anything massive.

I thought churches were shut

Between this and construction sites I think it is going to turn out to be a fatal mistake and it wont be realised for another 2 or 3 weeks.

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.

Is the priest going to go down and disinfect the seats after someone leaves? Haven't been to a church in years and only for funerals but I do remember hankies were often seen in hands while they were kneeling with their hands on the back of the pews.

They haven't really said anything about non essential travel have they? Just by closing non essential places they infer it. Wanna pick up some things in my gaff in Dublin to stop me going mad, but I've no intent in seeing any other human interaction while doing so.

Absolutely. Such a contrast to the US and UK leadership who care more about the economy than the people. I got a little emotional when Leo said our health was the most important thing.

The great "GDP" god rules America with an iron fist.
Utterly tragic...

The emergency legislation is for a maximum of 12 weeks

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.

Thanks for this, I needed a good laugh after the hysterics we've seen on this thread over the past 24 hours in particular.

:D

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.

What 'scroungers'?

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

Exactly, if you qualify for JSB for instance this is only based on your PRSI contributions, so these people are hardly described as "scroungers".

Its hugely unfair, if you lost your job in last 3 months. Significant increase in hard times for some, and not for others. People on JSB should not be lumped in with those on JSA (means tested).

Should be extended to help those on JSB, its bloddy basic. I have a feeling this will be challenged.

Their situation hasn't changed so there's no need for extra cash, but et's not turn it into a dole bashing thread either.

A good confession will get even the soul cleansed.

Step by step approach to get the public used to it type of plan. Expect more extensions.

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.

If you spring a leak head to your doctor

Someone on JSA for the majority of their working life.

I was responding to a previous poster, who claimed "scroungers" on the dole don't need an increase as their circumstances have not changed.

I was highlighting difference between JSA and JSB.

So I'm self isolating waiting for a test. Now my partner and kids have to self isolate also. So she won't be able to go to the shop etc?

300k was only breached on Saturday just shows how much things have ramped up across the world.

ACitizenErased · 24-03-2020 05:55PM

Surely public transport should be stopped? I live in Cork City and every bus that passes is completely empty. Pointless having them running.

Maybe they want this lot to be the first groups to get infected. Then they'll reopen hairdressers and gums, and they're the next bunch.

Whilst I'm obviously joking, it would actually make sense from a herd immunity point of view!

Get a neighbour to drop stuff at the door.

Ya absolute nonsense, considering most places work in teams aswell you d think we d just look at the likes of Italy and just up our response , other countries tried what we are doing and it failed spectacularly , the dripped response

Well it's been said an increased gardai presence to disperse crowds.

Anyone who still packs up the car and goes off to the beach or the mountains when being advised not deserves a fine of some sort

Serious question, can this cause another war in the world?

Any word on Public Transport?

I depend on public transport a few days a week, and i'm in manufacturing so not going to shut

Yeah they should close them all. We don't need food or medical supplies.
