    This is an honest question...

    If this was 1990 and there was no social media... would corona virus be a mere footnote on Page 11 of a newspaper??

    No. Maybe in 1900 though.

    What's happening with the homeless at the moment?
    Are they forced in to hostels? Hard to enforce social distancing there i'd imagine.

    Don’t know how the airports are staying open makes this 2 weeks pointless if passengers are still coming in. Cargo etc is fine

    Otherwise the returning doctors, nurses wouldn’t get back and also the government has an obligation to return its citizens safely from abroad such as the Peru situation.

    The lack of action with flights to hotspots and allowing tourism to go on as normal.
    No advice on large scale sports events like Cheltenham.

    This government will have cost a lot of lives. Good that there are more measures, but the lack of initial actions allowed pandora out of the box.
    Pandora was never in the box.

    They have a recommended 14 day self-isolation anyway.

    Would have been noted as a bit of a spike in flu deaths in 2020, and we'd have moved on.

    I think Leo said you can leave your house to collect a meal. I'm assuming that means that take-aways can remain open?

    I work in a medical device factory, do you think that will be classed as essential or will it be shut on Monday?

    2km in this rural area is very restrictive. I know we can do the weekly shopping but simple things for older people, like a daily newspaper, requires 5km or more to the local shop.

    Dead right, we don't need any more PPE or other daft essential equipment flown in. Socks wrapped around the faces of our medics is good enough for them and their notions.

    Jesus Christ, the stats are readily available as to how it's being passed on, have a read.

    Passenger flights.

    Not that simple. Exercise might be part of somebody’s routine as advised by a GP, consultant etc for certain conditions (cardiovascular etc).

    Do you know what else might be part of their health routine? NOT catching this.

    How much you want to be there's going to be massive public order incidents in the usual Dublin spots over the weekend. RIP Lidl.

    Why are they not closing the f*cking airports? Shut the place down.

    What is this obsession with airports! Vital supplies come in and out of airports every single hour of every single day. Thousands of people in this country have this now. The odd flight bringing essential supplies or returning Irish citizens is not going to make any difference

    So NO ONE is to go to work now unless it's for essential public work and public transport is only for essential public workers?

    Is that correct?

    It's an arbitrary recommendation and a request. Now is the time for the Irish people to show their true calibre. Majority compliance will be a win.

    We can do this, stay home or 2km from your home when necessary, let's save lives, flatten not fatten the curve

    I’ve been ordered by the Taoiseach to stay indoors for two weeks. That’s a sentence I never thought I’d type!

    Because we don't have a new government yet. That is why we still have the current ones.

    Pretty sure they’ll stay open. Leo said they’re an essential service a few days ago for people who cant get to supermarket or cook etc.

    Again, 2km radius was only mentioned for exercise etc and not for other essential needs. I stand to be corrected but from what was said in the briefing thats what I picked up.
