jetro 5,349 Posted March 19, 2020 Report Share Posted March 19, 2020 The Dáil today, and Seanad tomorrow will be passing legislation to put some Covid-19 emergency measures formally into place: - Mass gatherings will be banned; - Doctors will have the power to force people to stay at home if they are a potential source of infection, and if they refuse to do so; - Gardaí will have the power to enforce the bans on gatherings etc.; - The Minister for Health will have the power to restrict travel both inside Ireland and internationally, he will also have the power to 'shut down' specific parts of the country if necessary; - The measures about sick pay and emergency unemployment are also being made formally law. The legislation will last in the first instance until the 9th of May, but my be extended beyond that. I'm not sure about this, when this is all over, will the reverse these laws I wonder. Too much power to the government imo. Atb j 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Funeral will be a quiet private cremation but my ex wants me to be with her to scatter his ashes at a later date. I'll be honoured to do it. My condolences t.t. and to his family. It's not easy, but you will be there for the ashes . Atb j Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I have COPD and asthma, all I want is to hug my kids, grandkids and my mum, even my ex wife! These are dark days all round. I really hope the sunny days come back soon. We will have sunny days again soon. Hang in there, look after yourself and all should be good, this can't last for ever. Atb j 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

There's too many ignorant selfish b*****ds in this country who don't care about anyone else so they'll carry on as normal. Even some members of my family have said they don't care, if they catch it so what? My answer is well you're on your own but if I catch you near my parents or kids you'll get a spade to the head. If they do end up catching it they deserve to die with their lungs on the pillow next to them. I'm not worried about getting it myself personally, I'm fairly fit and healthy. But my wife has an auto immune issiue, and we have our 13 week old granddaughter here with us as well. I worry about them, that's why we're staying out of the town's and cities, away from crowd's, and people we really don't need to see. We won't even visit my wife's parents, 40min drive away, cause there in there 70s, just in case we carry anything to them Atb j Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I dunno mate perhaps things like journalist trying to report on the state of the outbreak disappearing from the face of the earth then there's the political side where you have trump openly calling it the Chinese virus add to that the economic reasons it just makes me very sceptical about the figures especially as they shot up to 80,000 and then seemed to stall overnight it just doesn't feel right....anyway I thought you would like this. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If any new laws keep the idiots in line even forcing a lockdown.then so be it. As you know the pm's are just the talking face. There is professor's in the background calling the shots. And they know the crack I think. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If dad gets it, well it's no more than he deserves and actually he's fit enough to survive it but mum has heart and lung trouble and would be gone pretty quick. Uncle has been given a warning, go near my family again and I will react. If they get this bloody virus because of him then he will pay for it. Hopefully they will take heed, and your parents will get through this. Atb j Quote Link to post Share on other sites
