    It’s official. Guy on with Ivan Yates suspects coppers and places like that will never open again. The world will never be the same again.

    I believe autopsies and ICU deaths from start of year are being checked.

    When will we know the results of any findings from this?

    The guards were outnumbered and if they went in heavy handed from the get go it probably would have resulted in bottles been thrown ! It’s not as if the majority of them are in a rush to get back to work anyway . Maybe the guards should invest in a couple of water canons !!

    Have the Gardai any of these?

    a lot of clubs and pubs will not come back and some that do will quickly go out of business as less people go out for the foreseeable future. same with restaurants and hotels. i think other sectors will bounce back but hospitality/pub sector is in big big trouble.

    Surely they could be used after a fair warning.

    Also let farmers spread slurry in bold estates.

    A global vaccine is the one thing that would bring everything back to normality.

    I don't know how much I'd trust Luke O'Neil's input in all this when someone from his lab was responsible for the first outbreak in Trinity and consequently the whole campus shutting down. This was first week of March, with member of his group having come back from an affected area in Italy when it was plainly obvious there was a significant problem happening there.

    You couldn't really make it up really, the first outbreak to happen in TCD occurs in a biomedical lab responsible for immunology research!

    He's a bit like our version of Trump in all of this.

    How is Luke O'Neill getting away with speaking rubbish on the airwaves? Time after time he makes sweeping simplistic statements that are incorrect. Statements like 'Remdesivir kills the virus on sight' for example. Remdesivir inhibits replication (hopefully). Not correct to say it kills the virus.

    Same way he says that you can't die with COVID-19, you die because of COVID-19 no matter what else you have going on. You could be on deaths door and die with coronavirus in your system but it may mot be THE cause of death for God's sake.

    maybe I should rephase- Think the army has one but the the water pressure from a fire brigade one might be more powerful. :-)

    I don’t disagree with you at all about the water cannons! But from what I could see in that video, they did nothing.

    If this virus is proven to have come from a lab trump should be praised for being pro active in finding out. He's the only world leader asking questions and quite frankly if this did come from a lab and the Chinese covered up the repercussions will and should be immense!

    Dan o brien excellent and really has opened up the conversation. The stats and data show under 40s are of relatively no danger from this. Get them back out to work.

    Edit to add:
    Got it wrong. The dog is in America.

    Dan O Brian is just saying what no politician has the guts to say. We are committing economic suicide.
    If this lockdown continues for much longer we will simply run out of money. We will have no economy left to provide a health service or any other public service.
    What Dan is saying is why not let those who are in little danger go back to work and let everyone else shelter.
    Our present strategy is based on a knee-jerk panic reaction by the medical and political fraternity rather than on a considered assessment on all the implications of the actions they were taking.
    They ignored entirely the strategy which South Korea were implementing. South Korea have had experience with this kind of disease having had to deal with SARS and MERS in recent years but of course Dr Holohan thought he knew better and in my view has given bad advice. I’d like to know what advice he gave about protecting the nursing homes.
    It’s not too late to change course but I would doubt if the government has the courage to do it.

    Sure the dogs on the street know if you have the smallest speck of the virus and get knocked down and killt by a bus, covid19 will be the cause.

    In grand scheme of things not an issue, but anyone's else's hands in pieces due to the incessant hand washing?

    I have a pharmacy mosturiser but its not doing much. Anyone else have the same issue and would you consider taking it up with a doctor?

    I had dry skin on my hands even before all this so it definitely got aggrivated. I use this stuff called Childs Farm moisturiser, a friend with eczema recommended it. We have a big dispenser bottle in my kitchen and it seems to be helping.

    Also as another poster suggested, consider changing your soap. Try to replace using alcohol based sanitizer (dries out your skin!) with a gentle soap.

    You would imagine that we will see a real easing in restrictions at this stage. I think in the last day or two public feeling is changing toward lockdown.

    Silcocks base is brilliant, its like e45 creams but you can use it like a soap to wash your hands and face. It also can be used a an moisturising cream and it is dirt cheap. 500g tub costs about €4-€5

    One or two complaining about the restrictions think they are the mark of the beast, best of luck arguing this with them.

    Dan is correct but the global downturn will dominate anything we do to get the economy moving again. It's really out of our hands to a large degree. We are facing 5-10 years of a global economic depression.

    Easing of restriction were always going to be small and incremental. Starting with some places open, majority still working from home. easing of travel restrictions, opening of restaurants pubs (if they can stick to rules of seating and no standing, 2 meter distancing to stay for a long long time to come

    Think i had the bloody thing, slept 12-14 hours a day for the last three days and sweating like a ****. Grand now today.

    Maybe it was something else but hope now I'm done and dusted with it. Never happened to me before where i had absolutely no energy. Reckon i could of sleeping more than the 12 if I didn't have the alarm set to work from home.

    Woke up exhausted as well and was falling asleep through work.
