    Hearing anecdotes now about people who are known by friends of friends who are self isolating with a fever.

    Went on a walk with someone tonight, who said, it's fine if we lock down I can just drive up to the hills for a walk. They were quite shocked when I told them the army would probably be out in force at checkpoints to stop people making unnecessary trips without permission.

    My mental health is going to take a hit during this.

    No real need for your mental health to take a hit. While difficult, if extreme measures like that came in, they should relax your mind.

    Other half works in aldi supposedly management said announcment is at 8 regarding customer numbers in shop at any 1 time not much more info was giving.

    Shops can implement that themselves though.

    They don't need anything from the govt.

    My interpretation of all this "lockdown" talk

    A lot of people have some relevant information and they think that when they add up what they hear from others it aggregates to this "lockdown" concept. They think the defence forces are being readied to maintain some kind of control. They think the streets will be deserted, as we currently see in Italy and Madrid

    Maybe that is the intention, but I do not believe that's the case. I think it's people adding 2 and 2 to get 5. Yes I have little doubt we will see further restrictions, and indeed in due course if things get a lot worse we may face similar restrictions to what we see in Italy and Spain. I just don't think we are anywhere near that at this stage, and I equally suspect we will never get to that stage. Precisely because of the limitations that are being introduce I think the plan is to stay ahead of the "curves" that were witnessed in China and Italy, and we are now seeing in Spain

    All of this is, of course, pure speculation as I am not privy to what is actually going on behind the scenes

    Thanks Beasty, but for what it's worth, I think we will see ever harsher restrictions being rolled out soon

    Partner works in Tesco. The manager was saying less opening hours. And less customers in the store at the one time. Come Monday or Tuesday.


    Also the manager was going on about not selling alcohol. So people don't have house parties on St Patrick's day. But i think that was her wish. Not the stores!

    Gardai and army was also mentioned in the conversation,

    Lets be honest here have a look at the last week how people have behaved regarding shops, u think the average joe is going to listen to some staff in a shop? Wont be surprised to see army and gardai enforcing the law, only supermarkets and chemists will be manned id say

    If the army patrol the streets, can they shoot scumbags on scramblers? can we legislate that in there, too?
    The Dáil don't seem to want to legislate anything at present. Members apparently have better things to do.

    Instead of trying to stay alive today , I can't wait to presume i will survive as will my elderly and infirm family and presume none of them will die and presume the economy will recover and then presume I will have the want to watch reeling in the years 2020....Instead of may be presuming it will be too hard to watch such a thing with the pain that is coming down the road to us all!!

    Well it wont be helped by beating yoirself up with negative talk or associating with people that talk negative. If you are concerned you shoid disengage from social media and rely fully on official information and listen to RTE news. Moat of all, stay possitive.

    Some people here might be part of trade bodies which make them privy to certain information being discussed with government. Not everything comes from WhatsApp.

    My take on it, possibly non essential shops and businesses to close including public and private sector.
    My opinion this morning was that might happen from Tuesday/Wednesday, if no major announcement in the morning, I suspect Friday when everyone is back from abroad.

    Here we are now, thread 8.

    Watching Bloomberg, seems businesses in the US making their own decisions. Wynns casino in Las Vegas to close.

    Fed has announced a load of movements early, rates to 0%. Markets not impressed.

    It will be interesting to see if the heat increases in warmer states like Florida, Nevada, Louisiana and Texas have an effect on the way the virus spreads over there. These increases in heat should be affecting Mediterranean countries in the coming weeks.
