Of course they can. A roadblock and a Garda car/ army jeep would do the trick just fine. €200 on the spot fine for anyone evading it.

It's not hard, the government is just reluctant to do it.

Israel bans all outdoor sports and walking

I think such measures are just ridiculous

please god this works

the pubs will be mental when they open again but its not just the pub its jobs etc on the verge of going back to normal and possibility of a good summer with some concerts etc

Whatever about the pubs, I think you can forget about the concerts (this summer at least). I think it will be quite sometime before they (large group gatherings) will be permitted again!

Trump want's things back to normal by Easter. 19 Days away.

He reminds of the Mayor in JAWS.

Doesn't matter what he wants, the governors and local level governments have the power and will determine when things can reopen.

That is about a 50% growth in cases and doubling of deaths isn't it?

There will be a bigger rush to the gyms than the pubs when this finishes..

All the people at home putting on weight, because they have eff all to stay trim for. No meetings with people, no holiday, weddings, funerals, shops to buy new clothes...loads a weight being gained..

I did read it. If it keeps mutating, a vaccine won't work.

Does anyone know if you're placed on a ventilator, would they put you into a medically induced coma as well?

Yes they will, you can't deal with a tube down your throat unless under.

Like a competition who can become the most extreme.

Can't wait for the military to take the streets and start shooting people as soon as they leave their house.

If true, would any science-type person like to speculate would so many mutations mean making an effective one-size-fits-all vaccine more difficult?

It's worse than that, far more than forty mutations are already documented :eek:.

But actually, it's not uncommon for subeditors writing headlines to pull out the thing that to them sounds alarming, rather than what was interesting about the story - namely sequencing its genome to track the virus from place to place and even person to person.

Mutations are only going to affect potential vaccine efficacy if
(1) they change the protein sequence (many mutations don't)
(2) the protein concerned is on the outside of the virus (here, the 'spike' protein that is used in gaining entry to cells, which is being targeted for vaccines)
and (3) they change it enough that an antibody against one version of the protein won't bind to another.

These are all things that can be checked by comparing virus genome sequences, and by lab experiment, and they will be checked by anyone working on vaccines.

I hope so, but I suspect this weekend will be even worse up our way because of the closure of other public places. Will be staying in

I agree. That said, I think these measures only become necessary if people take this piss. Obviously if everyone goes cycling or running alone it’s no issue, but if some people continue to go out in groups or hang around after chatting then the easiest solution in terms of the police not having to waste time dealing with it, is a blanket ban

The hours doctors work and the lack of resources and poor management is enough to send a lot of them packing. Many of them are in debt due to going to college particularly if they go post grad route. Oh not to mention eye watering rents!

Yep. The bloated and gouged rental market was a huge part of why younger people left Ireland.

Less new cases than yesterday but more deaths.

Does anyone have a link please to the press conference coming up later on the daily numbers? Or is they a website that they can recommend to try and get access to a link? I've tried a number of sites recently but none of the had any links to the daily press conferences.

That wont burn much calories. Need more movement. That's a good point by Walshb. That could have serious enough implications. Comfort eating may also happen due to being inside so much and struggling mentally. The implications of this are just so bad. If their are quite long term restrictions

You realise the flu mutates regularly and we have vaccines for it?

You saw the word "mutate" and the rest is just assumptions based on nothing.

Yurt2 · 24-03-2020 08:40PM

Not sure if posted, but Modi has declared a 'full lockdown', whatever that will mean in a country as chaotic as India.

How they propose to enforce this is another question. It doesn't bear thinking about the levels of suffering if it grips India in any significant way.

That would still be more than the majority of people in this country would do at home so I wouldn't be running anyone down just because you need to see more calorie burnz
