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.

FG didn't get much credit for that but it was a very good move IMO.

Give entrepreneurs more of s safety net.

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

Have you got back up for this 90% or did you just pull that out of your ***

10% = 500,000 people - that's a lot of people..

How many new cases

I don't know what time the announcement is. It hasn't happened yet. Tony Holahan was at the government press conference earlier so I guess he can't do the new cases one so quickly.

You obviously missed how democracy works all over the world.

Until a government is formed the present is the caretaker.

But of course you know better than the whike world.

I have a question. Does anyone know how long one should restrict your movements for if you are considered a ‘ close contact’ . The HSE sure doesn’t seem to say anything about length of time .

Also, it's not in Italy but only Lombardy where it's a major crisis and the epicentre of the deaths.

So it makes complete sense to ban all sports (not just jogging which you have something against.)

A person going out for a run on their own is not doing any harm to anyone. Even if they breath on people in the 0.5 seconds it takes for them to pass by another pedestrian.

Our great grandparents were called to war. This is our Great War and all that’s been asked of us is to stay on the couch.

Selfish idiots panting and spluttering on top of people out buying essentials are a scourge. All it takes is one droplet to infect!

I think not being able to drive is silly provided you are just going for a drive and not a walk at the end.

FG got and get no credit for anything.

Blamed when things go bad.

When things go good it was external factors and nothing to do with them.

I've had my fair share of gripes against our current government but I have to say, I feel very lucky when I look over at the USA.

As bad as we'll have it, the people over there are about to realise how little their government thinks of them.

Some people in this country are starting to get very smug about how we're handling things so far...

Remember, this thing has only really begun. There is a LONG way to go, and we have basically achieved nothing as of yet.

We'll see in time, whether they are making the right decisions. I hope they are... but there are certainly some worrying aspects that many people have highlighted.

And as regards the yanks... I never write those guys off, ever! There is a lot of smart and talented people still in that country. Even if things do turn ugly, they are one of the few nations with the capacity to turn it back around.

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.

Yes, here's how it looks:

That would be the CMO via their market research. Amused that you imagine that 10% of far smaller numbers is so large.

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.

She lost her seat so no appointments for Regina I'm afraid. She really has to be commended for working her a** off to get this sorted.

eddie73 · 24-03-2020 07:24PM

Michael Martin talking about rent freeze. There should be more than that. There should be a big reduction in rent. The idea that people should shoulder the burden of a crisis they have no control over plus pay the same rent rate as if nothing has happened is just ugly. The notion that kicking the can down the road for renters is giving them a break is equally wrong.

Time to get this right for once and for all.

Not sure, but they're not testing specifically for the virus. Markers that indicate its presence are what they're after.

Just done a bit of investigating myself and they expire after 3 days.

Here's what the CDC says:

Store specimens at 2-8°C for up to 72 hours after collection. If a delay in testing or shipping is expected, store specimens at -70°C or below.

Hopefully there is a facility for storing the swabs at -70C.
