    The American people disagree. How about lord Leo letting flights from Italy to pour in for weeks after they should have stopped ? And yes you are parroting the CCP line... for shame

    Of the orignal cases the majority of them where irish nationals coming back from Italy.

    If you stop all flights from Italy, somone will fly from Italy to London onto Dublin. simple.

    Aren't alot of shops essential in some way?

    It’s all very subjective..

    This lockdown talk is nonsense..

    Still a heap of business types still open, and many are needed..

    Right now? Not even in the slightest.

    With all barbers closing, I expect the Anton Chigurrh look to be the fashion for men this summer.

    US have done about 320,000 tests & are doing about 70,00 tests a day.

    the US will probably be a good region to see the true death rate in a few weeks as they should have millions of tests done by then.
    10% overall are positive.
    28% positive in New York where the virus is out of control.

    Not so sure tbh. Was speaking with my line manager who lives in Maryland and she described two people (one family member and the girlfriend of her son) who have symptoms but have been refused a test as they are not high risk...just told to self-isolate

    your naive to think it was a small minority - i've seen pic of beache across the country - up in Donegal, over in the west, there was Howth, there was Glendelough, it was all over Ireland.

    The hipster trend could be over.

    Back to the shave head look or the 70s style long hair.

    I think'll buy one of those trimmer thingies and just do a DIY No 3 all over.

    Positive news For the third day in a row, the infection rate in Italy is slowing, down to 8%. It’s the slowest rise since the outbreak began and is now starting to look like a downward trend in new infections.

    That’s nonsense however Were the thousands of Italians who came for the cancelled game Irish also ?

    I do agree that it's a problem that no one has formed a government.

    I do believe that Regina has played a blinder in her role. If a government of national unity was formed I would hope she would be appointed as a senator by a new taoiseach and kept as minister.

    As a self employed person if it wasn't for her equaling my rights as workers last year I'd be screwed right now.

    She is alright in my book.

    What are the private hospitals for? Is it to treat coronavirus cases?

    Over 90% are complying, so that's a minority, a very dumb minority.

    Of course it's going to cost. :rolleyes:

    What's the alternative? Just let the place burn?

    Yes there was - but did they go and get on a bus and travel to the south of the country?

    This is Don Giuseppe Berardelli, a 72 y/o Italian priest who died in hospital of covid19, after he refused to use a respirator his parishioners had bought for him,
    instead giving his respirator to a younger patient he did not know


    skynews-coronavirus-italy-giuseppe-berardelli_4954294.jpg?bypass-service-worker&20200324101857

    Even at death's door, he thought of others before himself.

    I know, it's the saddest thing. People forget that they're talking about a young girl, it's mad how much humanity people lose once finger comes into contact with key.

    How many new cases

    I don't think so. If you feel the need to ask that question, please don't get behind the wheel of a car ever.

    Argos better stay open, just ordered a hair clippers that's essential......with no barbers open I'll be looking like a scruffy woodstock hippy by the time this is over

    Yes, whatever the government says as they've been "nationalised".
