    These seem to very popular in China in the effected areas. Going forward I really think masks should be compulsory for the next few months if your out in public

    Because we Are IRISH we are not Australians.

    They are dealing with the virus a lot better than us and have a lot less deaths. Maybe we should use some on their methods

    The Govt couldn't do it even if they wanted to. Every Irish citizen has a constitutional right to re-enter the country and cannot be refused entry.

    We are an island, how are they gonna enter if we ban all flights expect cargo flights

    I did not say I would rather live there , he asked where would I rather be and I took up the question to mean which country has produced a better reaction to the outbreak. I dint consider money because I am OK for money at the moment, maybe I should have. What I was considering was the medical reaction and they are certainly well ahead of Ireland in that respect.

    Be interesting to see the death toll of that group. Interesting is probably morbidly wrong to use, but a police force should be healthy imo.

    Not really ,plenty of less than healthy guards about, N.Y. won't be much different

    US Navy Aircraft Carrier Captain Pleads for Help as Coronavirus Outbreak Worsens Aboard Ship

    The source is absolute toilet paper but this would offer a fascinating study on a contained, we assume very healthy population. Let them float and let it play it's course and let's see. If nothing else it may save many innocent lives.

    That's why wearing a mask is great...BUT... everyone wearing a mask is GREATER.

    1200+ members of the NYPD have the Coronavirus.

    About 3.3% of the force.

    Not great reading... but still a fairly small percentage.

    They may lax the rules somewhat but when you have healthcare workers being asked to live in isolation (i.e. healthcare workers not all living together), you can't let the general public go out to the beach at the weekend.

    Like people say that the city is dead etc, but if you went into a hospital it's probably been as busy as it's every been, especially ICU beds.

    I think I'll be working from home until August at the earliest - I hope I'm wrong - I just don't see how they can let everything go back to normal without a widescale vaccine.

    I am due to start mat leave in May. Currently working from home. I doubt I will see the office again before the end of my mat leave next year. It's so strange :(

    Agree with other posters who said things will likely be phased back in. Restrictions wont be just switched off at midnight on some specific date.

    Isolate: You do as asked and go somewhere and don't come out for the prescribed period

    Quarantine: Someone forces you into a compound surrounded by a tall razor-wire topped fence and men with guns on the outside keep you there for as long as they want.

    If you want to be "fully protected" put a condom over your head. Or better still, stay away from everyone for a long long time.



    We have two eyes, two nostrils one (larger) mouth.


    We don't tend to inhale water particles through our eyes.


    It's always about probabilities-minimizing the risks.
