Let’s shut the schools and you can’t move within 2km of home, but we can justify flights??

Afaik most planes in the air now are cargo only. Are Lingus are doing this with done of their passenger planes.

Serious question.
We stop the flights.
What about Irish abroad and what about cargo that we need in the country, PPE etc?

4 flights coming in from the UK tonight and a few hours later another one coming in from the world's virus epicenter, New York. This is an outrage that's not receiving the attention it deserves. What's the point of us staying inside while flights from the world's virus hotspots are continually coming in unchecked?

All arrivals are required to self quarantine.

Even if they dont, they cant spread it in busy places like pubs and hair salons.

They are no different to anybody else in the country really.

And once all Irish are home expect a big clampdown at points of entry, if we have it under control by then.

Why so many deaths in France again today did they add more nursing home deaths?

I'm sure you'd do a much better job, sure what do the irish public health doctors know

The Irish public health doctors that told us we were low risk?

No sense...... Are the PPE, and chemicals/raw materials for our medical supplies going to fly over from the US all by themselves then?
Do we leave our J1 students and citizens caught in USA to starve?

Don't be silly, the few dozen people flying in to the country will be subject to self quarentine as always.

BTW Aer Lingus are fairly creaming it screwing freight customers trying to get vital supplies in, including some for the Covid tests etc..... Making up for the loss of general air traffic.

That makes absolutely no sense. You asked how they were counting the numbers and if the 120 deaths were all from one day. If you didn’t believe the numbers why not just state that instead of pretending (?) you don’t understand?

Probably a combo of nursing homes,elderly people,plus they were ignoring the warnings.There was mass gatherings on some of the beaches and small of amounts of people protesting and even people going out to vote I believe.

The sinophobia is really blowing up in here. Thought that this website had rules on that kind of thing.

This kind of moral panic rises up every day or so on here. These flights have barely anybody on them.

The local businesses in my area that I mentioned deliver, if the ones in your local area decide not to its not the fault of Tesco etc
Going by your logic Musgraves and Dunnes who pay their staff less than Aldi or Lidl do should be handing over their profits too.

I'm not championing multinationals here but I can't see the logic of your original post.

Who else is delivering? on the Tesco's website all the delivery slots are gone even for 3 weeks time. I'm in Wexford, need to do a shop soon and the nearest click and collect is 70 kms away.
Any others I could call?

Well they could have stopped flights instead of welcoming in more cases of the virus. Plane loads of people. If people weren't allowed to go on skiing trips or Cheltenham, things might be slightly better off.

How many people do you think are on these flights at a guess? Friend of a friend had his daughter come home from London yesterday, she was the only one on the plane apparently. Even if flights are coming in, they arent near full of people so I think the flight thing is over exaggerated.

I'm tired with all the news, it's hard to keep up with it all. Other countries are reporting hundreds. I don't know with us anymore. All the news has been affecting me.

Well they probably didn't meet the criteria for testing.

I don’t consider 3 “loads”! One caught it from his driver! Another announced almost 3 weeks after Cheltenham FINISHED!

CitizenFloor · 03-04-2020 08:29PM

I missed the press conference. Did anyone ask about the number of viable ventilators we have?

Do we have equal number of ventilators (and staff trained to use them) as we do ICU beds? i.e. 500

No one here has any delivery slots until May. I’m buying for my 89 and 90 year old parents, so I go to as few locations as possible. We’re going to be hit with huge austerity after this. The money flying overseas into corporate hands bothers me. A lot. We’re locked down, it’s not like we have free choice.

Don't shop in Tesco, Aldi or Lidl then. Simple.

Maybe now it's exaggerated. But a month ago, it wasn't.

Try ringing your local Centra or Daybreak or similar. Most have a group of volunteers on hand to do deliveries. You order and pay by phone and they’ll ring to let you know when your delivery is on it’s way. The volunteers leave it on your doorstep.

I gave up a week ago, couldn't sleep with the worry. Pop in here now and then, check the numbers sticky and more or less move on, mostly. Third week now and cracks beginning to appear.

Could it be that it's a ludicrous basis for comparison without first weighing for at least 5-10 factors.

It’s really not hard to keep up.

All the news outlets give the daily and cumulative figure every single day. Go and read it if you want to know. If you don’t, then don’t bother.
