Despicable.

When they do pull the trigger on Italian style shut-down it can only be sustained for a relatively short period of time so there is little benefit in doing it early.

I’d agree but this doesn’t need to be an all at once solution. There seems to be a bit of a cluster area in North Clare / South Galway… in my opinion schools and non essential activities in these areas need to be wound down sooner rather than later. Where do you draw the line I suppose…

Well they mentioned last night that clusters would be when they start to move to the next phase - I suppose they’re keeping a close eye on the current cases and whether there are multiple knock-on cases from them

I’d say it’s a fairly inexact science with a lot of unpalatable trade-offs.

…id, there’s a fine balance to calling a full lock down- it has to be done right or you create a whole pile of other problems that might take years to fix.we have to all take responsibility here and stay in doors as much as possible. Follow protocols when outdoors and just try our best to slow it down.

The approach has been too reactive. Northern Italy was the source of the outbreak in Europe. Travel restrictions should have been brought in weeks ago. Instead they tell us to wash our hands.

Will you wash your hands?

Ah thats grand so.

It’s a playbook. People would just ignore restrictions if brought in too quickly.

Just knock on the door and say to them that you just want to check that their electricity is working and then gain access.

@anon61878697 is a sick bastard. Compiling a hit list of old people in the area so as soon as law and order breaks down he’ll be straight in robbing their supplies

Tim has just put me onto ALONE - I never thought to info and addresses from them.

…Lads, are there any old folks near you living on their own? it might be no harm to call in and swap numbers - if the shit hits the fan a lot of these people wont be going outside the door… you might be able to drop a few essentials to their door step when the time comes etc.

Call in and spread your germs?! Will you ever fuck off

I heard a story yesterday of a country relation of the missus arriving in Dublin for the first time to do teaching practice a few years ago.

He was mugged on his first day in the Big Smoke.

Do you currently have the virus? You don’t have to spit all over them to exchange phone numbers… I know most of you rural lads talk through your teeth and spray a bit, but keep to 2 meters and you should be OK.

Knowing Paddy likes to token wash and that door handles were likely filthy meant I was one of the few pre-outbreak users of the hand sanitisers.

[Batigol]

I’m self isolating from old people. I care. Big shame you townies prefer pretending to give a shit about old people once in a blue moon rather than actually helping the situation

Some might but most wouldn’t.
