    I’m getting really concerned looking at what is happening in France. They now using trains to treat patients. Spain and Italy are still rising in death numbers. Now our government are asking people from US to come home. NY is a heavily infected area. Why are we still encouraging flights home now when we are not screening or quarantining people?? I don’t understand this and no one can explain this. How do we make a voices heard to our government? I’m starting to get concerned about older people I know and the strain this disease is going to put on our health service. It’s not stopping in Italy or Spain and death rates are still rising. My thoughts are with anyone who has lost a loved one to this disease :( How do we make our voices heard ? Should we contact local TD’s ?

    Irish people coming home is one thing. But allowing anyone from practically anywhere on the Planet come in when we're on lockdown is mad Ted.

    And why do you think many other Countries closed their borders?

    Most counties banned external flights initially, to stop them spreading to other countries. You know, the responsible thing to do.

    My brother in law works in the airport , it is a ghost town and the flights that do come in are mostly cargo and Irish trying to get home , but that doesnt fit in with his tin foil hat agenda that he comes on here every night to spout. Relentless bollox.

    If you've slowly increased the speed of your connection through the first 4Gs you should be immune to the effects of 5G.

    I know, after midnight the conspiracy theories come out, day after day. I should start reading Twitter, I'd end up pulling my hair out, which would be good, cause I can't get it cut!
    No doubt someone will say there's an underground barbers opened somewhere

    In another couple of weeks if we start to get numbers under control then quarantine and testing of all arrivals is probable.

    All governments at the moment are pretty much giving people a window to get home, after that who knows what flight restrictions will follow.

    France are using trains to transfer patients to other hospitals, they are not using trains as hospitals.

    Ireland is asking anyone abroad that can help to come home and help. They are advising other Irish people abroad that if they want to come home, to not delay as flights maybe cancelled etc...
    It's not like the government are ordering everyone abroad to come home.

    All returning citizens are being asked to self isolate for 2 weeks. Every tom, dick and Harry know the seriousness of the situation and most, if not all will self isolate. Ya swear everyone arriving home is gonna go out and purposely try to infect as many as they can.

    Its not that simple. Self isolation is difficult if you share a house. We already know that many clusters are families where one member returned from abroad.

    The volume of people has only slowed over the last fortnight. That's a fact, nothing tin foil about it.

    Still don't know what I've said is a conspiracy theory! The virus exploded in Europe and our Govt kept the borders wide open. Its actually just a fact fellas.

    No one is holidaying now. It is people returning home.

    It is just people trying to get home. Chat with people in other countries, they are human, they have the same fears. One was telling me he hasn't left his home as he wants to look after his mother who is elderly and doesn't want her to get infected.
    People around the world in general are just concerned for their loved ones.

    Flights are mostly goods now. People are afraid of flying with this virus on the loose. Just remember people in other countries are like us, same concerns, same criticisms, people worried about their jobs but most of all will all their loved ones still be around when this is all over.

    Slowed.... Have you any figures at all to prove the flights are full, packed to the rafters and now...... Slowed?
    You say, or assume they are full, someone says they are near empty and only Irish citizens on board, you reply with the volume has slowed.
    If they grounded all flights, ya gonna say people be swimming across the Atlantic unchecked

    Totally....What I can’t get my head around is how absolutely silent it is... at night, and pretty damn quiet during the day. No real traffic, no kids heading to the park, silence. No live sport, no neighbors rowing in the garden, it’s a freaky time to be alive. I quite fancied the chipper tonight, I wasn’t going to risk it for a biscuit, or curry chips for that matter.
