Maybe I am in the minority, but I have always viewed social welfare payments as a privilege and not an entitlement. The money is coming from others' hard earned pay check.

Mod: Not even remotely acceptable. One week ban.

heard on pat kenny yesterday lots of people are better off with the payment than before. people that were earning 100 a week part time now getting the full 350. absolute joke.

Instead of looking at like people are getting more for less, maybe look at it like how little they were getting in the first place?

Typical fkn government ****- got 203 euro payment when I should have got 350 for having to self isolate due to possible Covid-19 symptoms.

Raging here and gone from calm to stressed- not helping the asthma that I have developed because of the infection I had. Fkn tossers

No need to get so stressed. There are bound to be mistakes in processing so many claims (including some chancers) over a short period. I'm sure it will be sorted. The civil servants are making trojan efforts on this one.

Can't work due to infection causing asthma. Test was cancelled because I didn't have temperature.

Have to lie down for couple of hours after sweeping the kitchen so definitely can't go to work. Have limited breathing.

Did your GP medically direct you to isolate for 14 days? If so, the DEASP require two documents:
a) Medical E-Certificate of Incapacity for Work
b) IB1 form
If you didn't do one or the other, you wont get the COVID payment. The E-Cert needs to be signed and sent by the directing GP.

there's a minimum wage in this country and it's one of the highest in the world. i don't know what your point is. also if you are part time working then obviously you will be on less than 350.

someone rightly mentioned entitled earlier.

I'm on hold with them for the last 20 mins:)

Think they might possibly be busy? For any reason?

Hmmmmm. I wonder.

Lockdown to go to end of the month today I heard. Must be due to fear of people breaking rules this weekend if the sun comes out.

Not sure how well that would go down.

All the expert opinion is saying that we have not reached the peak yet so it is self-evident that the lockdown will have to continue at least for this month. It would be bizarre if the restrictions were relaxed while the figures are still going up.
If the lag time, (between measures being imposed and there being a noticeable effect), is two to three weeks, it will not really be known until the end of the month what effect the current restrictions have had.
On the other hand if the current restrictions are shown to be ineffective then there is a difficult choice. There could be an even harder lockdown or there could be a partial relaxation of the restrictions on the grounds that there is no point in thrashing our economy for no benefit.

This is how the nurses doctors etc treat patients in China. It’s completely sealed suits. I assumed this was how Irish nurses and doctors were kitted out when treating Covid19 patients until I saw footage or maybe it’s old footage ?

Such equipment does exist, but the quantities are limited.
I have posted previously photos of the Italian airforce transferring Covid patients from the North to the Regions less under pressure, and they are using biohazard trolleys.
Italy has some of those since at least 2014-2015 and they were used to repatriate Ebola patients and transfer TB patients.
I don't think any Country has thousands of these, though.
This photo and article show the arrival of an Ebola patient in Italy in 2015
