    Yes, they had 25 cases late February. Now over 11k.

    Just saying, no one should expect this to be over and done with at the end of March, as sad as that is.

    This isn't going to be over soon, nothing short of eradication will allow things to return to normality.

    Eradicating it on this Island will be monumentally challenging, especially as too many people are failing to properly isolate themselves.

    China has only had some success by forcing an already compliant population to be completely locked down for months.

    Short of a medical breakthrough that hasn't been possible with other viral infections globally I can't see this being eradicated at all, our way of life has changed for good, free movement and especially global tourism is gone.

    I find it hard to believe that people are still thinking of this as some short term interruption to their lives that will just blow over in a week or two, it won't.

    Don't see many reports of a run on the off licenses and supermarkets for grog.

    Is this going to herald a change in our love for the oul pub/alcohol or what?

    I don't understand why everything has to be shut down like this. 86% of people infected have mild or no symptoms. Just put resources and cocoon those over 65 and at risk and let everybody else go about their business

    I run a supermarket off licence. We are doing Christmas levels of business all week. We've had 32 pallets of beer, wine and spirits delivered over the last two days alone. Another monster delivery due on Saturday too. People are stocking up. A lot of vodka is being used for hand sanitiser though!

    They shouldn't, this whole thing is ridiculous, if people want to avoid getting the flu then stay home from the pub

    What is the rule though? I didn't read anything about legislation forcing pubs to close but read that the cops shut a pub in Cabra last night.

    I'd say there's a good few people drinking at home to while away the evenings until this whole thing is over. It wouldn't surprise me if more people become dependent on alcohol over the next few months, if anything.

    It is a voluntary thing for sure. But name and shame otherwise I don't believe you.

    Most responsible pubs are observing the rules and have shut down now.

    I just wondered how the pub attending people are coping!

    I hope you are considering hiring some barstaff who have been laid off to help with the extra work load. Im sure it feels nice your new found success but to be a winner in this situation theres gonna be losers aswell

    Idiots, were they not told that it has to be at least 60% alcohol to be effective as hand sanitizer?

    It's not difficult to understand at all, I'm relatively low-risk in my thirties and healthy. It's the immune suppressed and elderly I worry about. And I don't want to chance contraction of covid-19 in clustered pub or restaurant gatherings and unknowingly transmit it to the vulnerable. Let's consider these people, they're human beings like you and me so it's a tiny price to make non-essential sacrifices for the greater good.

    Off Licences were extremely busy. Supermarkets sell alcohol.

    So, that’s hard luck then. Sorry.

    As I just said in my post which you conveniently ignored and then strawmanned me, put resources medical, financial, and otherwise into cocooning the elderly and most vulnerable and let everybody else go to work and do their business. Its not a far out idea, instead of shutting everything down and crashing the economy. Im sure most elederly people would be happy to adhere to such measures

    I suppose as long as the off licenses are open all is good.

    Not the same though re social contact and all that, but it had to happen.

    We can adapt, which is good.

    The elderly are some of the worst to keep under wraps.

    You can't cocoon those over 65 when 22% of adults in Ireland aged 25-34 live with their parents.

    Do you seriously think that the countries enacting these policies, some in lockdown, are doing so in a frenzy of hysterical overreaction?

    52% increase in confirmed cases here today, one death where no underlying medical condition was reported. This will increase day by day.

    But yeah, let's all go on the piss. Be grand like.

    I work for one of the big multiples. Ordinary staff member but saddled with much of a managers role for no extra money. Hiring has absolutely nothing to do with me though I absolutely hope that people laid off due to circumstances caused by this poxy virus get hired elsewhere quickly.

    Fair enough. But theres nothing stopping you going to HR saying you need extra help as you are really swamped with the big orders coming in. recommend they take an ad out seeking recently laid off bar staff. Sure they mightened listen to you but at least you did something

    Still many places in the city centre/Dorset st/ phibsboro to get a pint. Have to go through the back door though. I brought a couple of lads into a place on Parnell Street yesterday for a few 'illegal ones' but the place almost had tumbleweed rolling through it, and this particular hostelry is a spot that doesn't mind flouting the law for those in the know so I expected it to be jammed.

    100% - 86% = 14%.

    Compare 14% of the population with the number of hospital beds and ventilators in the country, and you'll understand why we are in a phase called Delay.

    I'm not sure it's fair to push guilt onto someone who wasn't even in the slightest gloating.
