Iād say the ECB will need to print money and make it like a grant than a loan. Fuck state aid rules.
Obviously people will find a way to abuse it though.
Ireland could see a whole year of exchequer income evaporate. Insane.

Open the bars back up with the caveat that punters have to stand six feet apart. Any bar not enforcing the rule to be closed permanently. A true test of Irish character.
Measures to stop the spread of the virus mateā¦dont be acting the fool.
60 people diagnosed in the north. My oul lad and his 2 buddies can name 10 of them in the one parish. What are the odds?

Surely there has to be a good chance this virus will burn itself out like normal flu season and disappear far quicker than the timelines being given?

How the ECB handles this will determine if the EU has a future . If it fails or if there is a feeling that they are impeded from doing the right thing for all citizens then the EU is doomed .

One degree Celsius increase in temperature and one percent increase in relative humidity lower R by 0.0383 and 0.0224, respectively.

Something random I was thinking of today. I wonder how many people will be murdered by a partner because of this confinement. Itāll surely be a large % increase. Iād imagine divorces will spike too after the next few months

It wonāt because we are now deliberately slowing it down, slowing the rate of infections. Thereās no guarantee it will die out to due to heat in the summer, but it might help. If we hope to get over the worst of it by the end of summer a significant number need to get it and develop immunity, managing that spread is the challenge. There are no good answers, other than treatment and a vaccine, but those will be next season at best. Unless thereās some incredible breakthrough in therapy.
Is everything okay mate? This is (relatively) safe place
The failure to help Italy has been a disgrace.

Did you not just get married a few years ago? A bit early for murder at least.
I was just thinking today itās lucky I actually like my wife considering we are facing two months boxed into the house with the baby.
Weāll be well sick of each other by the end.
I know a few lads starting off on a bad foot and it must be fair tough then. Lads whose relationships are surviving on the basis that they donāt see the missus from one end of the week to the other will be in big trouble

Itās gonna put strains on every relationship we have. My folks are gutted they canāt see their grandkids, and weāre only a few days in. But look it, as they said, they and their parents came through rougher times and theyāll hopefully do so again, as will we with a bit of luck. Life goes on. We adapt.

Itās going to be incredibly tough for the average club GAA maniac, used to coming home from work, grabbing the gear bag and heading out for training, followed by a feed of pints. Irish men are just not used to interaction with their wives/partners outside the bedroom.
