I'm glad people are starting to report it, I noticed that too in my local LIDL
People are just idiots

Amusing seeing the "we must get the economy going but protect the vunerable" posts - do people realise how many vunerable people live with younger, healthier people? Let's be honest, it's just window dressing. Once our own house is in order, we don't give a stuff about the community at large - we want our "freedom" and right here right now wasteful economy back.

With all due respect it’s not as cut and dry. People have huge bills and repayments to meet, put food on the table etc. These are not selfish motivations

If checkpiont is always in the same place its kind of pointless

But it acts as a deterrent to stop people entering city if not needed, they were stopping buses and most buses go through the city

Surely these beds and hospitals can be brought into state ownership for the duration of this things. Id have thought this could be legislated for quick enough.

Obviously the Fine Gael landlord party have vested interests in profit making hospitals and pharmacy's so this won't happen.

Yes there is. Primary carers without anyone to step in and mind their loved one is a good reason why they both might have to go.

It's no liner this thing. The rules need to be flexible to allow people to continue to function while at home. Again your another one who comes on here spouting nonsense about people not isolating etc but give no solutions to issues I have highlighted above.

what you call nonsense is the standard rule in most affected countries.

One person per household is very basic easily applicable rule. Couples don't need to both go shopping together, plain and simple. Social distancing is also all over the place at the moment. I'm glad I'm not the only one taking notice of what happens in LIDL

Valid concerns too. People who want a lockdown for the foreseeable future are not putting any solutions forward on how to subsidise this and the economy.

Says original article was from February this year. Updated in 7 April. Many commercial labs fast tracking R&D. Time will tell.

It's not their job to put forward solutions. There are qualified people in charge of doing that.

Answer the question. If a carer of a person with nobody else in their lives to help out need to get essentials what do they do? If deliveries are delayed what do they do? They simply need to bring the person they are caring for with them.

I cant help but feel if Sinn Fein were in charge, things may have been different

Fantastic!
And no surprise the great state of Israel is behind it.

Haha easy get out there.

So shoot down everyone with a legitimate concern over income and the economy and then use that nugget.

That's not what i reported. Couples where both are healthy enough to go around should not be both shopping at the same time

Well, restrictions are still in place and will be till 5th May. Numbers going into hospital and ICU are stable, a key factor, testing system aiming to get to 48 hour turnaround and go back to the looser case definition. Meanwhile planning underway to decide how to get out of this, hopefully from the 5th May. And it's another lovely day!

I haven't shot anyone down, what on earth are you on about. I simply stated reality. At the end of the day some average Joe here can put forward ideas/solutions but it's those in charge who will make the decisions. Chew on that nugget.

No chance. people have done their bit. If they made a balls of it resign.

A very short extension followed by a clear plan is about as much as they will get away with.

Not really, he's just towing the CMO/HSE/NEPHT line of it being too early to say and just fobbing off the increasingly dumb questions from journalists. Look at how I don't know got legs as something else.

Any truth to a rumour that a Fruit Company in Ireland flew in 180 fruit pickers from Bulgaria on a single chartered flight last weekend. Not much social distancing in that flight

How is it Leo's fault that the virus won't be gone until it's gone?

Is it his fault that people are scruff bags and have no sense of hygiene?

Hector Savage · 16-04-2020 04:39PM

So italy and spain curve is levelling, but doesn't seem any where near dropping - which is a surprise since we have had 2 incubation periods at least now in lockdown, I would have expected rates to be falling by now.

Looks like a long long long time ahead with this lockdown bs

Leo essentially said we will have to see how things go. Sounds like there is no plan yet.

Some have, many have not.

Stop making it political.

Trump is right about peoples mental health suffering in lockdown situations.

16-04-2020 04:41PM

So, I have a distant elderly relative in a nursing home. The Nursing Home is based in the East of the country (Ireland).

By a simple google search, that took less than 5 minutes, I was able to determine that in the last 10 days, there were 7 recorded deaths in that particular nursing home (at least).

To say i'm worried is an understatement. While some of these death could well be from natural causes, there's no doubt in my mind that some are Covid-19 related as 7 deaths in 10 days just doesn't seem normal to me.

I won't dare mention this to my relatives- but I'm absolutely gutted and a lot more worried now than i was to date.
