I don’t mind the extension to May 5th but at least open the hardware stores so we can at least renovate while stuck at home.

Yes, the most pressing need in our hour of crisis.

Home renovation.

Anyone else think the RTE player is heroically bad?

Yes. It's a disgrace and when TG4 can provide a very good version you'd wonder what the bigger RTE are up to. It's never worked like it should.

Just you, every one else loves it. When every the RTE player is even mention, all you ever hear is how amazing and brilliant it is.

There might not be a briefing today just an announcement of the latest figures same as is done at weekends.

There is usually a briefing on Fridays, or am I mistaken?

Perhaps but just let us know in advance. In U.K. briefing at 5 every day.

Actually it will also be useful to give people a jolt in to the weekend if the figure is in excess of 1,000 new cases.

They could say 5 new cases or 5,000 and it wouldn't matter. They have been spoofing regarding testing.

Any sign of tonights numbers or are they holding back an hour to double down on the gloom?

The hidden impact of coronavirus on registered deaths in the Netherlands is becoming clearer, with the publication of new figures from the national statistics office CBS. The figures show that since the end of March some 2,000 more people are dying than would have been expected for the time of year, the CBS said.

Yes, let’s put multiple peoples lives at risk, so you can paint your phukin ****box.

IamtheWalrus · 10-04-2020 05:46PM

I welcome the government being honest about the lockdown extension. It is long but it's just what is required. The UK government know it'll be ages yet but are being coy. I think people feel less anxious when they have a concrete date. I'm aware that it could be extended beyond May 5th but at least you can plan that it won't be before that.

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

Yeah, as if they're going to give vital information in Irish only. There were others complaining about the sign language as well.

Lockdown until vaccine it is so.

I've been saying from the get go, that "normal" life wasn't resume until the vaccine become available.

Normal being we can get on a plane and go anywhere in the world.

It's really ****ing annoying at this stage. Just give us a place where we can check the time. I don't care if it's changed.....just somewhere to confirm

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.

Do you understand the difference between those who run an organisation and those who work on the frontline? Clearly you don't!

Healthcare workers have been let down more than anyone by HSE and government mistakes.

Nobody watches tg4 so their player and streaming server doesn’t come under much strain

Latest announcement re infection and death rates should be soon, I'd imagine

It reminds me of when I was a child waiting for Jackanory to start. And it has the same level of credibility.

100k deaths milestone passed..

Maybe they could open the door, you could stand well back, just in case, and have a chat with them.

Not a chance pal. They both in the latter stages of life and have underlying conditions. I do their shopping take it home and wipe it down then leave it for 3 days before delivering to them.

I'm hyper cautious as they get it and it's a death sentence.

Thanks for the reply anyway

Everything needed is already open.

Staying home is not good for people’s mental health. If people can renovate to keep themselves occupied then I’m all for it.

We are all arguing amoung ourselves.. That's a good sign. Not the huge surge ogg body's building up.
By May what is going to happen economically?
Not just to Ireland but Europe too,

Gynoid · 10-04-2020 05:50PM

There are such very different responses from people to the extension. I was relieved to hear it. Until we know more we must be cautious. The economy will wait. Plus I enjoy the quietness. Then my oldest phones me as I am 2 minutes into pondering that, and they are effing and blinding and saying how they will go off their bleeding rocker with the extension.

Don't mean to laugh at them, but it is what it is. The caution of age versus the irrepressible energy of youth.

Baseball72 · 10-04-2020 05:50PM

Doing some painting etc around the house/garden during this period would be a good use of one's time and would help with our mental health, provided the hardware stores put the appropriate procedures on social distancing in place.

I'm so sorry to hear that, honestly.

I get emotional when i deliver food to my own parents every week and all i can do is see them through the sliding door glass. They look all at sea and lost and they miss their grandkids desperately. Never thought i'd see times like this.

Honestly, at what point is living a sh1tty life of fear worth it.

The medicine is becoming worse that the disease.

Don`t forget today is Good Friday which even if things were normal would still have been a day off for the public service including the Dept. of Health.
Anyway whatever about today there won`t be one on Monday.
