Eh yes they have. They have been closed from day one as it was a government institution.

Painful, can she not just give credit where it's due. It's been a mammoth task to get Social Welfare and Revenue to get these supports up and running. Major credit is due to all concerned. Payments will be made this Friday, what more does she want :rolleyes:

Well well said....

Mammoth is an understatement...

That New York governor doesn't hold back, good on him:

""You pick the 26,000 people who are going to die because you only sent 400 ventilators," the governor added."

Although this thread isn't for politics could SF not give them some credit.

That was an embarrassment of an interview, we are in an unprecedented situation and all they can do is still throw digs and pull money out of nowhere.

Put the people first and at least acknowledge the measures before you try and out do and political point score.

Astonished no action on public transport especially of busses where there is high risk of transmission.

Just off top of head, from no expertise whatsoever in practically of implementation cf operationally or unions etc.

Restricted occupancy per vehicle, increased frequencies at peak periods, reduce services off peak.

Limit to one window occupant per row either side, similar spacing elderly seats.

No standing, no attempt to leave seats till bus stops, spaced exits from seats nearest exits first.

Spray interiors quickly at termini.

All drivers supplied with two masks and pairs of gloves plus a disposal bag (to be disposed at end of shift).

Don't aim to eliminate transmission, rather concentrate on quick implementable measures to reduce extent.

You are in the middle of a very serious global crisis.

People are discussing a constantly changing dynamic. Nobody really knows what is going to happen over the next few weeks and months!

It quite often pays to be the sharpest one... the one who is watching and reading everything that is going on. Otherwise you may get caught with your trousers down, if things change at a fast pace! (Which they can and do in a crisis situation)

Complete vagueness from Leo regarding businesses. I'm not impressed. But sure unless he listed every single type of buildings and said if they were to close or not there is bound to be confusion.

Managing directors around the country now have been left a window to stay in operation. Not cool

8.2% rise in total number of new cases from yesterday to today. Is it starting to flatten at all?

Alternatively, listed to the government instructions each day, and get on and make the most of your life

That's your opinion but you can't say they weren't preparing. They have been since January, we are in a better position than losts of other countries. We moved to implement restrictions alot earlier too.

Looking over across the water I'd rather have this gov than boris when it comes to actions taken

Agreed our government is better then Borris or Trump, they are proactive and they are doing a good job and are on point. I'm just not willing to forget the terrible state the health service was in before this point after 10 years of government. It is relevant to this current crisis.

For a stupid as Boris Johnson is he has had a more decisive repsonse to this than our government...ours has been a joke, bits and pieces here and there while looking around at other countries on what to do rather than make our own calls.. this will be a disaster

Stay at home and buy groceries once a week! Even better, get it delivered!

Army should declare martial law.

As long as the are distancing themselves what's the problem?

Leo said exercise is a legitimate reason to be out.

Did you not see the pandemonium and calls for clarification that existed in the UK last night and this morning?

Or are you just ignoring it?

I cant believe some are calling for martial law and for people to be literally imprisoned in their homes. They are losing their minds. I guarantee you wouldnt be happy about it if it actually happened.

There is no reason you cant go outside for a walk or exercise, once you arent in close contact with anyone from outside your household, avoid large groups and keep your distance from others.

They are completely in line with current instructions, as long as they keep their distance when passing others. I’m going to go for a walk now. Again, completely in line with the rules.

How ? Boris did nothing until friday when quite frankly it was already too late.

We've implemented restrictions on a phased basis

But it's not a lockdown.

And where does it say you can't jog?

From Varadkar: " Social gatherings of individuals outdoors should be no more than four persons, unless all are from the same household."

It can still be a place of solace for some to go on their own though.

Don't see how that is crazy.

possibly the most vunerable age groups touching surfaces and picking up virus.
closed funerals taking place. more potential carriers?
