Lockdown until vaccine it is so.

We've missed the boat on that (no pun intended). People calling for a border lockdown with only freight allowed move where called racists a few weeks back.

We could have a limited functioning economy today if that was implemented now it's collapsed completely.

But yeah racism something something.

Maybe people look at the facts and understand that lesser restrictions will be coming soon. Look at Austria. You can guarantee people won't accept not seeing family for 6+ months indefinitely. Why are you so happy to stay indoors? Maybe you enjoy it but many don't.

No I love outdoors but I also know if I was to be a selfish **** right now I might kill people.

Slowly the magnitude of the entire planets situation dawns. It’s almost too immense to fathom where we are right now having only previously glimpse it through the lens of a Hollywood movie.
Everything has changed. I Brought supplies to my elderly dad today and he insisted on telling me where his house deeds were as well as some money he’d kept for emergencies. He had a sadness in his eyes I’d never seen before and I shed tears for probably the first time in my adult life.

There are now officially over 100,000 people dead from this worldwide. Such an unbearably grim and depressing statistic. Just horrible. I just want to get into bed for the next three weeks.

I want to hide away for the next two years because this is it for the future until they figure out how this virus works and bring out a cure or vaccine.

How do I not get that they have to isolate ?? I know they do, they're all in hotel rooms near the airport and have applications done and will work on the frontline in 2 weeks time.

What I post is what's been said at the press conferences and what I personally know so that's not dangerous. What you post is pure conspiracy theories, where are you backing up your brits on holiday claim ??

There you go with the conspiracy theory nonsense again.

You've told us about 4 medics.

Now can you tell us about every single passenger that has come here from the UK and US in the last month. Not some, not 4. Everyone. Where are they coming from. Are they positive or negative. Are they asymptomatic. How are they getting home from the airport. Have they shared a car with someone. Did they stop somewhere. Are they sharing a small apartment where isolation is impossible. Are they on holidays and couldn't give a damn about isolating.

Off you go, the floor is yours.

Not rubbish.
I spent a month on Inis meain and a few of the locals didn’t have much English. I knew a family and the grandfather was constantly lost for words in English, he spoke very basic English and his grandson used to translate for him. The grandson had much better Irish than English also.

I doubt many oldsters on Inis Maáin would understand Donegal Gaelic in any form let alone a grammatically garbled learner's version.

Plus I suggest any youngster in Ireland who has 'much better Irish' than English could be looking at a rather restricted menu of future options considering how poor the general standard of Gaelic is nowadays in those remnants of the 'Gaeltacht' that survive.

They will read the answers in English

They will read the answers in Irish

You listen to whichever one you like

The people who can’t grasp this simple thing are surely dangers to society in times of a pandemic

At €15bn+ a quarter that will be a whole lot of money for the great-grandkids to pay off.

I’d say they are. Could have so many uses for it day to day had they got an A. That 5 minutes of press conference being one. Getting a grant to go to university and contribute nothing to the actual economy being another.

It's not degrading at all. I'm just sick of posters here claiming that the whole operation was a mess and they claim to have all the solutions.

Sorry to hear this. You described it so well I could see the situation vividly

Have you explained to him about the mortality rate of it? (0.5 to 2% so far, depending on the source you read)

Obviously it's a different % for his demographic, but reminding myself of the low mortality rate of this is the only thing that stops me from properly losing my mind some days

Can anyone see restrictions being lifted in 3 weeks time?

Seriously, this will ruin us economically. There has to be some easing. I don't see pubs or nightclubs opening again but surely some other shops and businesses has to open with restrictions in place.

I love how some people(thankfully a very small number) here trash the health service and most things in this country but when they themselves need those services they can't say enough good about them.

Just as dubious as people who set themselves up as the experts they clearly are not. Some people have been home-schooled better by the internet than others on all of this! Sweeping claims about those managing the crisis should be open to challenge.

Glad they got some publicity . Should be named, just for their stupidity, sometimes what'd legal is not morally correct

I can almost hear how the conversation went: "But... Do you KNOW who I AM?!?" "No, I don't. But I know WHAT you are! Go away!".

I'm reading another forum with people saying they have had corona like symptoms for over a month. They feel OK for now but even going back to work leads into a bout of exhaustion. It's an English forum. They haven't been tested but they think it is corona.

That's not right. Exhaustion a month after symptoms appear.

They will be many employers up and down the country dying of heart attacks in their beds with the idea of allowing staff of sick for a few weeks.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome can last years, and it's often brought on by a viral infection. Fatigue for a month after a "normal flu" wouldn't be that uncommon, either.

They will lie down alright when they find themselves (if they're lucky enough to be admitted) in a hospital bed.

From the 14th of February.

https://www.taiwannews.com.tw/en/news/3876197

The truth is that we still don't know enough about this virus and how it behaves, and we should be considering every possibility. Discarding something "because it usually doesn't happen with this kind of virus" is very dangerous. Nobody had ever voluntarily hit and brought down a skyscraper with a plane before the Twin Towers happened, but then it did happen.

If everyone does what we have been asked to do for us and our families then hopefully we will. If however people go mad this weekend and go to places that are closed and show a lack of understanding/or being a me feinner than maybe not.

Edit: just to be clear I'm not saying that all the restrictions will be lifted all at once but hopefully(I'm trying to optimistic) there will be some easing of restrictions.

Anyone have a time for the DOH press conference?

ninebeanrows · 10-04-2020 05:34PM

Probably 6th May more stores will open with strict distancing.

Group gatherings of 5 people will be allowed with strict social distancing.

That's all theyll give us until June.

But at least will be able to get out and sit in a cafe or go into town.

Problem is public transport now has a capacity of about 20% it used to due to social distancing, I cannot see how they can unravel that for at least 6 months. So WFH arrangements for most staff will stay in place for a long time.
