    Absolute dregs of society.

    After this unless you contribute to the pot you can rot for all I care.

    No more free gaffs and handouts for sitting at home all day.

    Wow just wow.

    There will be no inflation because people arent spending. There will be deflation or at least stagnation. Just like there was in 2008 but the difference this time the German economy will be suffering the same so they will be more open to printing money.

    Initially. When people are back spending and the economy is flushed with cash though?

    Deflation is the more immediate concern, inflation in the longer run.

    This is a much worse problem than 2008, we have all of the legacy debt from 2008 and much more corporate debt.

    We wont hit 15000 because testing hasnt been sufficient.

    So many infected people were not even aware.

    Key figure is ICU admissions

    I would think so, bit like lottery statistics .....when you read about people who are very lucky, we're reading about people who are very unlucky

    This is, by far, the most self-entitled post I've seen on Boards. The virus is a great leveller. Good luck with your little run

    Mods not trying to do your job for you, please ban this poster from posting again on this thread.
    Their comments are disrespectful and insulting to all our healthcare workers and also to all those seriously ill with this bloody vitus.

    Varadkar is the weakest ineffectual Taoiseach we have ever had, flip flopping around like a fish that has just been caught

    come out and be strong ffs and say it as it is

    Should be

    €500 fine if you have no valid excuse for being out

    and just don't stop there €1k for parents of teenagers caught hanging around on the street with their mates

    Its gas when people use their imaginations to make up laws and penalties that don't exist.

    Can somebody explain if & why a drive would be against current guidelines?

    I.e. getting in the car at the house, driving and not leaving the car until returning home.

    You breakdown you need assistance. You crash You need emergency services. Have a think about it.

    Don't expect anything from life, just be grateful to be alive.

    This is all wrong. Normal QE tends to cause inflation in housing, or stocks as it increases bank reserves and thus loans ( most ot which go to housing), and reduces the attractiveness of bonds and deposit accounts pushing money into stocks.

    Giving people a few K to counteract deflation wont do any of that.

    As you said QE causes inflation in assets prices, because the printed money is injected in the financial economy. I.e. inflation is where the money is injected.

    With helicopter money, the goal is to inject money in the real economy rather than the financial economy, and thus it will cause consumer prices inflation rather than asset price inflation. That inflation will be particularly visible in constrained spendings such as essential consumer goods and rents (rents is a big one as there will be more money competing for the same constrained supply of rental properties, and more money chasing a finite and essential ressource logically leads to inflation).

    Judging by some of the questions I'm seeing in this thread, there's a good amount in here too.

    Tell me where the trolley crisis is now that every hypochondriac prick isn’t clogging our AES up with their medical cards? Tell me about the genuine homeless - not those sitting in hotels waiting for a free house because that isn’t homelessness? Big changes coming after this I hope when we wake up and realise what a cohort of spoofing vermin pervade our society and essential functions

    You have a terrible view on people. It makes me uncomfortable. Your generalising groups in lower socioeconomic class. My partner works in as a nurse on the front line. The trolly crisis isn't caused by hypochondriacs maybe there are some in A&E but they tend not to get to trolleys. I know 3 families that live in Hotel Rooms. Two out of 3 of those have both partners working (minimum wage jobs) but have had landlords kick them out to Jack up the rent. They are not waiting for a free house they are waiting for an affordable house. Even that you describe people as vermin makes me shiver. You are a dispicable person.

    This is a decent breakdown of cases up until 25th March.
    Have to say I am surprised at the amount of people in those young and fairly young age brackets that have been hospitalized.
    27% 44 and under

    So how do people feel this will impact our weeks/months ahead?

    When do you think we will now peak, how will we peak and will it be our only peak?

    The US are done for thanks to the orange retard. The best thing they can do is hope it takes him at some stage and someone with a shred of logic in their head takes over. If not, well god bless America because coronavirus certainly ****ing will.

    Their work status is irrelevant.

    It's not going to do any harm if you stay alone in your metal box...but obviously if they do try and police these rules you are actually breaking them.

    If you "imagine" some policemen or soldiers enforcing this ala China (or as is beginning to happen in parts of Europe now too) it's not really going to wash saying "oh look I am 20 km away from my house and have no reason to be but I was bored & just went for a spin see"...
