That is catastrophic

For sure, but it needs to be borne in mind that the 'unemployment' rate for the next 2-3 months will be very misleading. Economists say we will need to see the figure in autumn or at Christmas to get any sort of handle on what the impact is.

At the moment, huge numbers of people are 'unemployed' because their companies are not allowed by law to open or do business.

What’s the point of a curfew for 6 hours in the middle of the night? Am I missing something?

Maybe it just means there's less chance of things happening that emergency services and police etc will have to respond to.

Ffs! How would anyone here know that?

It sounds like a mis-delivery. Don’t use the food as it’s likely for an aged or infirm person.

Keep your g string on there... My mother is old. Lots of houses on road got them. All in brown bags and mostly all eldery people got them.

Sweden won't go into lockdown.

Crazy decision.

If they prevent people from coming in to the country we'll be over this fairly quickly. We need a border with NI and no travel into the country.
A four week lockdown should see the end of it then.

No it won't.

We will just get a second wave.

Just off the phone with my GP organizing some prescriptions for my son.
I asked him was he busy doing tests or refairals for the viruse surprisingly he said no two weeks ago everybody in his catchment though they had it and he was swamped.
Now he said just the routine patients.
Maybe some areas are not as bad as though.

Masks or no?


Probably best if we all wear one or if you can't get one make it or use a fine mesh scarf, everyone had one of those hanging about.

From HSE, current advice

Using masks is unlikely to be of any benefit if you are not sick.

Sick people will be advised by their doctor when to use a mask. Healthcare workers need masks and other personal protective equipment to protect them from infection during their work.

So apart from spending an occasional glance at this thread for updates, what are you's doing to pass these hours of social isolation away. For me I'm currently reading a book called A Thousand Splendid Suns by Khaled Hosseini about turmoil in Afghanistan during the mid seventies onward and the tale of two families in war torn Kabul. Have also being watching The Mafia Only Kills in Summer with my family as we are all affected about the devasting news recently from Italy so currently looking at season 1 on the RTE player among other things and helping my sister and her husband at the allotment in Bandon for the brief outside.

I said a fair chunk of the population gets a cold/flu /chest infection between Dec and March. Naturally you would be worried that it was C19. So there would be a rush to get a test.

Now with lockdown very few will catch a cold/flu/chest infection etc.
