    Even with your explanations, they're still not anywhere near to being essential.

    Neither of these being closed is going to put your life at risk. I'll die from starvation but I won't die from not having a crate of beer. Sure there's alcohol in every supermarket to buy anyway

    It is essential to give up smoking and stay off the smokes now more so than ever.

    There could be an increase in domestic violence cases at a time like this with more people inside their homes, unemployment, stresses - maybe smoking/vaping/alcohol /home drinking might take the edge of some stresses.

    Eastern Europeans ‘ got’ a house near me.

    One of the biggest problems with this crisis is that it was Irish holidaymakers that brought the virus into this country, leaving your average xenophobe grasping at straws. If only it could have been the Roma Virus, or the Nigerian Virus or the Syrian Virus, think how much happiness it would have spread through the comment threads of the nation.

    Two thirds of Coronavirus fatalities would have died this year anyway according to a British government spokesperson.

    That's good news - not so for the other third :(

    They were going to switch off their organs with 5G.

    Home drinking won't lead to a decrease in domestic violence.

    I say having a phone that works is essential especially if your living alone or having to isolate so I say yes to phone shops. See the reasons for vape shops and people may want a drink. You can get it in the supermarket also

    How are the people you were in close contact etc? If they are ok it’s probably unlikely you had it.

    I was in close contact with a guy for a number of days who came back from Thailand (but would of stopped at an airport Midway I'd imagine) from around Mid Jan to the last week in January as we go to the same pool so use the sauna, locker-room ect.


    Came down with what I thought was a chest infection and a dose of a cold around the first week of Febuary which lasted 4-5 days standard. Symptoms died down but less than a week later all of a sudden I'm feeling nauseous vomiting in the middle of the night no fever however but the following day I was very rundown aches and pains which last about a day but a piercing headache which persisted for about two day. My whole family only three of us mind came down with the same dose no chesty cough or runny nose just the flu like symptoms I described the same week.


    My car had broken down the same week so it was only my family I was in contact with for long periods of time living in the same house and all. Haven't spoken to the guy as the gym was closed down for maintenance and then shut down indefinitely by the corona virus lol.

    Lovely to live in a country that has time to pay public servants to "run that simple model" at a time like this.

    i hope i'm wrong but I think we're in for a rude awakening over the next few days. our "lockdown" is one of the weakest in europe and we massively messed up our testing program and are now likely a week behind actual figures.

    Leo said the measures are not a lockdown. It's not a lockdown.

    There are so many villages and towns around Ireland and that's so quite and eerie and even our cities are so much more quieter so it means a sizable portion of the country is taking this seriously and doing the social distancing.

    Yes because everyone one who drinks at home commits domestic violence and I don't think less drink would stop those who do it anyway

    At least Prohibition will solve the unemployment crisis. We can all become rum runners.

    Who the f*ck is the idiot that thought it would be a good idea to ask people to clap outside in the street at 8pm each night in the middle of a pandemic, away from the safety and isolation of their home?!

    Seriously bad idea!

    I'm all for showing support for healthcare workers and I'm sure there will be a parade for them around the globe when this is over but come now... The mere fact that they're not even sure how some healthcare workers are testing positive is enough to warrant extreme care and caution.

    It's hard to make sense of it without the facts. Age profiles, preexisting conditions etc.

    The people at home who have lost their jobs and are still observing the guidelines should be applauded also.

    Neither do I. If I give the impression I am against people out and about I am not. As long done to the guidelines. I was going to the shop today and there is a pedestrian crossing with a bit of a path in the middle and there was 2 people one in each side having a conversation. I slowed down thinking they were crossing just to get a wave of you can keep going

    You do know that you’re allowed to go outside, right?

    400 behind China now, sure to overtake them before the end of the day. Nigh on 13k in not even one day is massive.
