BBV used to be the source of sanity. The last bastion. Now el stuntman is passing on drama and woodwork is deemed life threatening. Is there any way back for the BBV after this. Collie and Dobby already gone mad Ted .

Loving this at the moment. Although a bit guilty as shouldn't be eating the emergency stock. Big lovely flakey pork mixed with lentilles.

Ooooh baby. Although I do prefer the lentils with Toulouse sausage myself.

My source is generally spot on with this type of stuff but only time will tell I guess.

Funny a girl I know who would have ears in some inner circles said that it wasn't BS but she would be prone to a little hysteria so I brushed it off. Now between your comments and a few of the other recent posts here, I am swinging the other way.

One of the guys on my team, not a drama queen by any means, texted me to say there'll be a government announcement tonorrow at 11 closing everything except supermarkets. And for those only to be open 3 hours a day.
Which sounds like a recipe for unmitigated panic.

Either way (and I'm sure the above must be bs), looking forward to going down the shraaap route amd eating nothing but tinned French delicacies for the next few weeks. And maybe learning how to trap squirrels.

Seems they've sorted out the payment method for employees of closed businesses. Fair play. Explained in about the third of the tweets here. https://mobile.twitter.com/adriancum...99613632401410

So they still pay us and the company just claims it back after? We have to do nowt?

[Raoul Duke III]

Informed the kids that yes, they will get up at the same time as normal. Yes, we will write down a school routine and stick to it. Yes, they will eat healthy. Yes, they will do exercise every day. Yes, they should see this as an opportunity to learn new things. No, they won't get tablets or tv until I am happy.

I have to say the more I read, hear and think about this situation the more grateful I am. I have a lot of sympathy for folk who’s jobs are likely to disappear, who are juggling minding kids in an apt or an insecure rental scenario, or can’t afford to stock up.

And that’s ignoring old folk and people with health issues who must be absolutely bricking it...my mother left her job on Thursday as a SNA in a special needs school with kids with a lot of underlying health conditions, and all she could think was how many would not make it and she may not see again.

Reasons to be grateful

1. Both myself and the Mrs are able to work from home, and our employers are comfortably in a position to continue to pay us. Fortunate enough to be able to have about 3 weeks worth of food in the house without any drama. I was slow cooking lamb and the Mrs baking brownies today like...#lockdownliving

2. Little Miss V is relatively easy to manage between us and we have loads of space and room for her to to run around and play inside and out without leaving our home. Of course we’ll eventually get bored and irritable but honestly it will be very minor.

3. We’re out the country away from the madness and zombie brain eating apocalypse but with fibre broadband for illegally watching TV or legally watching Netflix.

4. I have a load of gardening and DIY jobs that I’ve been planning for a while so lots to occupy myself for the next 10/12 weeks.

Fucking blessed here. I never felt like a part of the 1% before but I do now.

[Raoul Duke III]

She was there when he was telling his wife, who was obviously extremely pissed off and worried about it all...He said the amount of calls to houses for people that have it is so much more than is being told that it is shocking... They were also told there is an 80%-90% chance that they will catch it... I know there is massive hysteria and WhatsApp going around all week, but I'd be pretty sure he is legit and not lying about it...
...Also, looking at the coronavirus cases, Italy and spain look like they're gonna be fucked for awhile...

Does your partner's friend know that we have about 10x as many shops as army personnel?

Doesnt sound very likely to happen. Also dont think this army guy would just have a conversation like that in front of a "civilian". Think there will be some kind of lock down but not as you describe with army everywhere. There arent enough of them for starters.

[Opr]

I have heard it will only be Aldi's that will stay open. That is another measure to encourage people to stay away as long as possible.

exceptionally grim article

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/mar/15/uk-coronavirus-crisis-to-last-until-spring-2021-and-could-see-79m-hospitalised?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other

The coronavirus epidemic in the UK will last until next spring and could lead to 7.9 million people being hospitalised, a secret Public Health England (PHE) briefing for senior NHS officials reveals.

[ArmaniJeans]

Does your partner's friend know that we have about 10x as many shops as army personnel?

We've 7000 people in the army.
We have 140 Dunnes, 140 Aldi, 150 Tesco, 160 Lidl and 220 Supervalu.

So I don't think your 10x can be correct.
Though obviously I've left out Spars/Centras, Mace, garages and independents.

But it seems theoretically possible that you could have 2 army personnel at every store of the Big 5, which presumably amount to 70%+ of our food shopping.

I guess this is seriously going to affect the importation of all kinds of illegal narcotics into the state

Must say I've been mulling this and tend to agree.
For instance I'd be slightly surprised if the word had filtered down to the humble beat gardai that Satnav was talking to, such that they were able to give a specific time of the start of the lockdown. I'd have thought it would only be at top-brass level (superintendent or above) at this stage.
Or maybe I'm underestimating how leaky the force is.

Thats exactly what I thought when I saw it.


I thought this was very powerful.

Sound on. Awfully grim but a dose of reality.

My daughter in law is feeling the pressure, her family are from that area and her aunt who lives with them is mid 60's and has MS. Because they are producing food they are continuing to work also half the family are doctors working right at the coal face one of them a senior orthopaedic surgeon in Milan was saying he's stopped all but urgent surgery and they are not really managing. They are now shipping out covid cases to hospitals in the South where they have some small bit of capacity left.

Queues round the blocks in Amsterdam today at the coffee shops following the news that they will be closing. That is some proper isolation stocking up. To hell with the alcohol, give everyone a few spliffs to calm the nation for a few weeks. We have a far better chance of people staying indoors for longer.

Well the garda that spoke to satnav seemed to think it was happening. Satnav is obviously just repeating what she was directly told.

So it's hard to see exactly where the miscommunication could be.

Obviously not doubting satnav.
My only explanation would be that that guard had heard/read the same rumour on his gardabuddies WhatsApp group, and believed them. Or that he didn't want to say that he didn't actually have an idea what was happening.

I'm as green as ye, we'll find out truth tomorrow no doubt. I'm only reporting what I've been told and also from a girl arguing with her ex on taking kids next few days who can't as he's being deployed in army.

I'm now looking at pics of hired cars with garda stamps all over them.

My beat gardai mates have been told nothing other than 12 hour shifts from Monday on, no excuses.

Canada probably a few days behind Europe. We were told we might get an email over the weekend but no sign so far, a tiny office so just one guy to make the call so not a shock he hasnt told us anything yet. Just going to go in, take what I need and go home tomorrow.

Had an interview lined up for tomorrow too, think I'll just cancel it now.

Not a hope. Mate of mine is an anti vaxxer (I just discovered during this whole corona thing) and he is as headstrong as ever.

In fact, he doesn't believe the pandemic as bad as everyone is saying.

Vaccines aren't opt in opt out. The HPV virus causes cervical cancer. In order for my daughter, or Mia's schoolfriends and peers to avoid it is for Mia, and everyone else to be vaccinated against it. If enough people get vaccinated the virus has nowhere to go, that's herd immunity.

Herd immunity saves lives. It doesn't work when people trust Facebook scare stories over science and decide to opt out.

You opting out risks Mia's life, and my daughters lives.

Please don't be anti vax, anti science.

Ah Michelle.

Awesome. Glad to see you made the move. Probably best of both worlds, getting paid and the people staying away whilst you discover the South of France!

Pop into schools pump injections into teenagers all around Ireland. Just like that

! Oh sign the form etc

Why was there no injection for breast cancer, I know people who got breast cancer?

Breast cancer can kill too. I don't trust that pharma hype

Give it 12 months, they be hopping into schools with the covid injection while millions die of all forms of cancer but yet just like that an unknown killer disease they have a prevention.. Nah sorry not buying it
