Is it wrong of me to say that I enjoy the quiet?
Ringsend Incinerator
Me too.
High price though.
Shayna
Sure, there is that.

I’d say the Gardaí are loving how quiet it is. Fewer injuries from dealing with drunks for a start.
Cian
I wonder if there are fewer traffic accidents? And will the annual death toll be much reduced.
JEH
Anecdotally, drivers seem just as reckless as they’ve always been, in spite of the lack of traffic. Still running red lights and tailgating. Speeding appears to have increased. This is with my pedestrian hat on even.

Probably because of rather than in spite of the lighter traffic but I am far from an expert in these matters

Plenty of speed vans out and about.

If ever a job was All about the self isolation…

Fewer burgalars about. Everyone is at home so no “opportunistic” crime.

Just back from a walk around the Guinness complex. Not a sinner around. Very eerie.
The Dude
Why did you go there?
Why is it open?
WTF?

Why are we still accommodating the Irish muppets in Spain and elsewhere? Shut the airports , fools returning now are going to cause a surge. The models HSE are using don’t factor infected new entrants flying in.

In theory at least anyone newly returned should be going into two weeks of self isolation. In theory.

Learn what a proper noun is, and maybe how to use an apostrophe?

The death toll in Italy is about to surpass 5,000 tonight
The reports I’m reading are horrific
I casually sneak out through the patio doors so my kids don’t see my tears
Most people here are not taking this pandemic seriously enough
It’s crazy that so many are carrying on as normal,
like we won’t be affected the same way?
The true numbers are many times what are being reported by the HSE!
Ask an EMT if you know one

I had to go into town for a few minutes and it’s absolutely deserted. I think people may be taking it seriously
Janet, I ate my avatar
in fairness town yes but gangs of teenagers everywhere residential up here

“ The true numbers are many times what are being reported by the HSE!”
Evidence?
Was in town earlier and it felt very … 1989. A few pasty stragglers and a very quiet Temple Bar that brought me back to the quieter days of bad ass cafe and buying smelly second hand flares in flip for £(punt)3. A weird mix of feeling sad and nostalgiac.

I miss those days (but not the flares)
