Still thickos out running, cycling, going to the off licence etc..

What is the problem with running?
Many people keep saying that, it is allowed like.
For mental health alone people should try get out and do 1 walk a day unless in the vulnerable category. My feeling is that this is going to go on for a lot more than 2 weeks anyway

A 90 year old can live a few more months in a nursing home?

Do you realize a young 16 year old died in France? Australia is diagnosing coronavirus in kids, seems like they aren't immune after all.

You really need to swap usernames with that muppet.

My brother in law sent me this, a little bit of humour, probably has been posted here about 500 times but what the hell here it is again.

Observe all the guidelines and that 2km limit and you should be fine.

Just a thought -

Would decompression units, as used by divers, assist breathing for people with respiratory problems?

There may be quite a few of these units around, the navy, garda divers, commercial divers, sports divers, etc. surely have access in case of emergency

Bear in mind that these units allow for various mixes so oxygen level could be increased

We could always take the South African approach:

"South African police enforcing a coronavirus lockdown have fired rubber bullets towards hundreds of shoppers queueing outside a supermarket in Johannesburg, an AFP photographer has said."

For those asking about construction:

In a statement, the Construction Industry Federation said all members should secure construction sites immediately and construction workers should stay at home.

It recommended that CIF members sending teams to secure sites should call ahead to gardaí to inform them.

The CIF said it is ready to help combat Covid-19 in any way possible and will continue to engage with the Government and the HSE to explore ways the industry can contribute.

Aye just got stopped by the Gardai, told them I was going to the Chemist, was actually just popping to the Supermarket for a shop, fair play to them for asking, but there's not much they can do if you just say Pharmacy or Supermarket. Unless they pull you over on the M50

How did they approach you, as a matter of interest? Did they say not to open your window or were they 2m back from you?

Why would we want to import UK cases? They're heading for a catastrophic situation. We have enough to deal with here with our own cases.

Ireland is also heading into a catastrophic situation. The amount of people on this thread who can't see that is very sizeable. WHO have said closing airports at this stage will not make any difference. UK already help Ireland with medical issues severe cases in the past have been airlifted to Great Ormond Street Children's Hospital in London.

I was wondering about the use of Cystic Fibrosis drugs to help move the fluid off the lungs but I presuming that theyve thought of that

Why not?

You can just not compare the resources that the UK has, vs the resources that Ireland has.
I will just name the UK armed forces, they have got medics, can built camp hospitals...
And the industrial sector in the UK.

There is a a consortium called Ventilator Challenge UK, involving companies including Airbus, Rolls-Royce and Ford.
Ireland just does not have all these industrial plants on its soil.

Nextstrain is visualising data from the GISAID Initiative - the international sharing of virus sequences https://www.gisaid.org/
Today, one more sequence from Ireland has been posted in Nextstrain, for a total of 5 sequences: 3 from Limerick, one from Dublin, one from Cork
https://nextstrain.org/ncov?f_country=Ireland

Iceland put their virus genome sequences up today.

334 of them! That's over a third of the cases recorded to date.

With that level of coverage they can actually begin to see who's passing it to whom from the sequence alone, so it potentially becomes a useful tool for linking cases when doing contact tracing.

I know it's best to wash clothes. What I meant was is there anything else to use other than bleach for disinfecting surfaces. I always manage to get bleach on my clothes and it ruins them. I've been colouring in bleach stains on my clothes with permanent markers to try and fix the bleach stains.

Soap! If it's just this virus that is your main concern. Just always leave it for a while, then rinse it off afterwards

Genuine question.
Family of 4, we want to go on a walk within 2km of the house for some brief exercise together. Are we allowed?

Maybe so now, but the UK can and will create more ICU beds.
Ireland can not.

Ireland are doing so as you speak.

Opening 20 bed ICU buildings that are being constructed in 10 days

It doesn't matter at this stage, WHO have said as much, stop scaremongering and trying to distract from what's happening in Ireland.

Would it be fair to blame China for not only being slow in containing it nationally but also more crucially letting it out to being a global disaster as we know it?

It's not about allowing a 90 year old a few more months in a nursing home. This virus doesn't understand age. It's coming after all of us.

While not condoning what he said, what you are saying is wrong.

Yes and people willlynch me here but it seemed leo recommended social distancing. I presume as groups block up footpaths and other trying to walk through would not be able to maintain social distancing properly and also strangers would not know you were a family

And wash at a high temperature, that might shrink your clothes too which is handy for when the food shortages kick in

Not sure, but if you split into 2 pairs walking a distance apart then I would think it's ok

walshb · 28-03-2020 12:46PM

Are the over 70s included with the rest of us as regards the 2 k radius, unless they need to shop?

Or are over 70s advised you be cocooned completely?

+1 and be bloody sure to wash your hands like your life depends on it when you bring your bins in. It just might. Wash before you leave them out too, to help protect them.

They've asked us to disinfect the bin handles before and after emptying - easy enough with a bit of bleach solution, and probably something we should have been doing anyway.
