    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?

    I’m waiting for test. We weren’t sending kids to minders since school closed anyway. And husband hasn’t gone to work and won’t until I’ve negative test. (Fingers crossed) husband is fit to be tied. Would prefer to work but he’s no other option we were told. It’s not easy

    He is in pet smart at the moment I’ve just been told... sorry actually he isn’t, it was a dyslexic fella just posted that.

    Most of these shops are closed anyway so this shouldn't represent huge changes that we've already seen.

    A couple of my local barbers were still opened today. I suppose they will have to comply.

    These places should have shut a week ago. No need for libraries, hairdressers, fast food outlets to be open this long.

    Ilac and big sports stores have remained open all this time and even had sales which results in huge lines to get into stores

    Especially the single women where the hell are they going to get a length of pipe now?

    If they want it they should put a ring on it.

    Looking at the press conference there and Regina Doherty speaking, I remember listening to her on the radio with Miriam on the Sunday after the election as someone who had lost her seat. It all seems so long ago.. I bet she never thought she'd still be at the frontline of government fighting this pandemic. Fair play to her and all in government.

    Leo said there would be a list published as to what defines and essential service that can stay open.

    Anyone know where this could be found ?

    And do what, exactly?

    FG have done a good job on this to be fair to them. Most people complaining are literally full time complainers, never happy with anything.

    I took my dog out for a walk today and the village I'm from, which is very busy on the norm as a commuter town, was dead. No one around. It was great to see and by and large I think most people are taking this very seriously and doing what they have been told. Of course some people are acting stupid and doing silly stuff which can put people in danger but don't take a few bad apples and criticise the majority.

    Also, probably best to avoid this thread quite extensively. I don't mean it offensively, and the mods are doing their best, but the hysterics and negativity is overwhelming. The last few days I've only logged on maybe once or twice a day and my mental health and general thoughts are much the better for it. I've also minimised my social network usage, listened to the radio less and only watched the main news programs to get the updates. Spend your time focusing on other hobbies, or take the time to learn something new... no good will come from reading thousands of words on this pandemic each day. :)


    Perhaps FG are handling this situation well but we should never forget that they left us one of the worst prepared countries in the western world when it comes to critical care capacity. We will have to look back after this and say that we were left down by their government when it comes to health and housing.

    One week into a crisis they manage to freeze rent increases and substantially increase our hospital capacity while they sat on their hands for 10 years. People would have respected them if they had taken the crisis in health and housing up to now a quarter as seriously as they have rightfully take for the COVID-19 crisis.

    Ah bollox. Sad state of affairs when the new cases is more important than deaths.

    Its unfortunate circumstance but you can't expect them to give everyone on the dole more money,

    I agree. Look I'm ok thank God I have no mortgage. But it will create a division. Imo jsb should have been increased with jsa staying the same. Not just because I'm on jsb but because these are probably the genuine work seekers.

    Italy 5249 new cases, damn it , I was hoping it would be 3 days in a row the cases reduced .... very frustrating

    Yep unfortunately - big death number
    Why people should not get hopeful with any decline in numbers til it persists for a week

    I don't think they were mentioned. As food outlets you'd expect them to stay open.
