Yes.

I was watching Sky news they were doing a report from Italy, of the people that have caught it about 4000 have been cured and the same amount have died, so its 50/50.
-
we would have to know the ages and what other health problems those who died had.

Frightening, if the lads out driving taxis saw that they would cop on.

Why does that matter

because old people and people with health problems tend to die. if it starts killing a load of young healthy people, then i will sit up and take notice.

My mother is 81 years old and a recovered cancer patient. I am really concerned about the prospect of her contracting this disease and even more so with her ability to fight it off. I will have to stay away from her house for fear of transmitting this disease and I have not worked since Friday the 13th. I think its extremely worrying that young healthy people dont give a toss if they pass it on to their own mothers let alone a complete stranger. Maybe humanity is better off being wiped out if people with this attitude survive and responsible, old and sick people die off.

1990 ...I've tried to explain the uniqueness of the irish situation for 2 weeks and I'm tired now ...
Maybe tommorow i will but ..maybe you have to find out the hard way....
I believe ireland will have more deaths per population than the rest of the world ...
And I believe they will be younger than the rest of the world statistically
Please go home ..
I watched the medical people on prime time tonight and I could see it and feel it in ther eyes ......
We are fucked mate ....
Thers a tsunami comin

And hopefully you wont infect any of your family who unbeknownst to them or you could have serious underlying medical conditions. And seeming that you dont know ANY old people hopefully your actions dont infect any old or sick people that you dont know. I think you're right octy, we're all fcuked, either way.

Taxis and buses are aloud to operate in Italy the epicenter of the corona virus in Europe, as well as Germany Spain and Portugal, the numbers here won't be as high.

I dont know where this is coming from that people who contract the virus up 50% have died .thats rubbish I think it kills about 3%

I think the 50/50 point was a comparison of those who had died compared to those who had recovered daily if I'm not mistaken

How will they enforce these restrictions?
Anyone found breaking the quarantine rules can face criminal charges, fines of up to 206 euros, and potentially up to three months in prison, Italy's interior ministry confirmed on Thursday.
They are already in prison.
anyone any idea how long the Italians will have to stay in their homes?

1..They're emptying the prisons of convicted dangerous people to replace them with fools...OR...maybe not fools, but someone who has to go out in an emergency....does that make sense to anyone? If it does, then seek help.
2..The Spanish Flu did NOT kill the elderly..it killed younger people who were much hardier...WHY?...because they'd just been through food deprivation, trauma, probable war scars, the loss of family.
3..It is going to be much worse here because we have NOT closed down our entry points. What better place than Ireland to test out the spread of this thing. Nobody can monitor or police the disaster that is 300 km long of winding, boggy, damp and dark road...The Border spanning from Donegal to Louth. Now, nobody is saying this is being done deliberately,,,but a simple thing like closing ports and airports might've helped. Instead, we have virtue signalling and touchy-feely shills praising a man who made a speech. You have to move away from running with the herd on this one...there are far too many loose ends. We've been conditioned for yrs into accepting that we are dirt in the eyes of the E.U. We still think everyone loves us....they don't.
4. Where are all these millions seeking entry into Europe going to go?..........and think critically... Will the people of Tallaght, Ballyer, Edenmore, Darndale etc be afforded the same protection those of D4 shall?
5. How many packages from China c/o Wish and Joom are still coming into this "wonderful" country.
6..Will Trump still be belting out Tweets when his people are slaughtering each other on the streets. Will Bo Jo sit quietly in Downing St when they come for him? Nah....those who don't learn from History are destined to repeat it.
7. RTE and BBC are both state-owned and run.....don't think for one minute they can do ANY investigative journalism...they can't.
8. All mortgages people had with building societies here were subsumed by the banks.
-
And to cheer you all up....Flu always has 3 waves....the first is the small one....that's why I asked if it has been called a strain of Flu...

I have'nt stopped driving.
hope this bollocks lasts months.
-
It will..........I just hope the lads relying on the state don't have to for the rest of their lives. Something will come along to offer us hope, I'm sure. Sky News lady this morn told all her drone listeners and watchers that when homeless people are housed in hotels everywhere that everyone is going to have to step up after this...they can't be put back on the streets....I told you all.......they're coming for your homes and they'll get them.
Edit: You'll be made an offer you can't refuse.....but if you have no serviceable debt on your home....watch out. This is Captain Cheerful signing off from an outpost near Jupiter.
-

Fair play. Are you working for Free Now and paying 15%... if so you may wish to complete their survey to decide on discounts for clients. If you can't afford to give discounts and pay 15% I'm guessing the shopping centres are probably the places to be - if you don't mind all that lifting and carrying.
-
Smart move is to get family to move back in with you.....that is, until the novelty wears off.
-
Watch what Germany offer their taxi drivers tomorrow when details are released.a report on BBC tv this morning suggested taxi drivers couldbe offereda lump sum payment of up to 15k in lieu of weekly payments,also couriers the same
-
Nice one a whole year's wages.
-
A weekly payment based on your 2018 tax return (Net Profit minus Capital Allowances) would seem reasonable on condition that your licences and PSV insurance are suspended while you are in receipt of the payments. It's a crisis, not a time for greed.

Got a WhatsApp message to say a Dublin driver has died, and had the virus.
He was a long time driver, F badge and elderly.
I won't put up his name until further information is known.
-
That's sad if it turns out to be true.I took a spin through town earlier and the set up down on Hanover quay is fairly sobering.They've got one of them MASH type army tents set up for tests beside one of the NAVY ships with the Gardai controlling the traffic.It's opposite the convention centre.
The medics inside were in full hazmat suits.Nobody going in yet but they're getting prepared.

More then anyrhing else I hope the government put a stop to drivers working,and the dispatchers go out of buisness

That's why I'll keep my counsel until then.
Billy was the nickname I was told.

Govt need to make that call. The public need a service so they'll have to bring in the army or something for HSE workers and for all other workers, carers, etc if they don't elect to close down everything, including supermarkets.

No. People are going to die and we're all going to catch it at some stage, that's a given. The social distancing is supposed to manage the rate of transmission and death not prevent the same. Hence it's up to Govt - acting on HSE advice - what measures are needed to keep within whatever targets they are working to. Bear in mind that we have thousands of empty hospital beds right now.

Rodent after the Bank crash governments CHOSE austerity .Look how much coin they will trow at this ,they could of had a proper hospital service proper social housing proper social policies for what they will spend on this Dizzzzzeeesssse .Capitalism for the Shareholder has failed we need to return to being a Society not an Economy but some how I doubt we will .
-
I'm surprised they didn't identify business's..or maybe they did....where community transmission would be high and issue a "would ya stop for fuk sake" directive...
-
Maybe they will in due course. No doubt they have targets set and planned actions to stay within reasonable levels of deviation from the same. If prevention was the name of the game we'd have total lockdown with food rations delivered by suitably protected officials/soldiers.
-
Think of the Church and how they controlled people with fear yrs ago......the witch-finder general is hiding out.

Id like to make a proposal.all dispatch firms including F/N and radio companies who done nothing to encourage drivers to take time off during this pandemic should be blacked upon return to normality

We're beyond prevention at this stage.

Hard to believe you once aspired to being part of the public transport system with your may fayne attitude, DM. It's up to Govt, not dispatch firms, to decide whether cabbies (or anyone else) should be allowed work or not.
-
Legislation passed means no autopsy....this means all deaths can be attributed to this virus...for fuck's sake...tell us WHAT it is....is it SARS with special needs or what?
-
Does morality not have a part to play in this ? Those scumbags are prepared to sarcarfice the lives of drivers,and passengers alike to satisfy their greed.this has fukk all to do with being part of the transport system or not its much more then that now
-
Rodent after the Pandemic passes and the calm seas of tranquility once again cuddle the Earth and we get universal social payments for all .What do you think will be the tax rate ?im thinking 45% on all earnings +25% VAT and 10% Social contribution .

I'd say there'll be a lot more everything for free types so!!

You're nuts, DM. The lives will be lost regardless. It's up to Govt to manage scheduling through whatever measures it - or it's advisers - see fit.

We have 500 ventilators.......1000 resporators......it appears that they are the difference between life and death ....

The Minister himself told me that yesterday, Octy... on RTE News. He actually joked that he's the first Minister for Health in living memory to have empty beds, noting that he has single handedly solved the trolley crisis... or some such.

"Is that TypeA flu or B " I said ....."wat yu mean " he said
Does type A kill more than type B .....I said
There is no type a or b they all the same ......he said

Back to the NCT tomorrow as headlight failed during test .Do I need to sanitise the Car before the Worker climbs in to check it or do I need to sanitise after the worker elites after the examination .Then I will need to apply for Suitability will I need to Sanitize the Kit or will the examiner instruct me to expose the content for inspection .

Wouldn't do any harm to put a notice in the car, something like:
This vehicle has been professionally disinfected by a mate of large Domino's who once had a summer job working for Rentokil.
You can copy and paste the above provided you include a link.

And maybe leave a crispy fifty in the ashtray!!

RTE news reporting 19 people in ICU Thurs night with the virus and it's now up to 29 people in ICU.
I think that's over a 1,000 confirmed cases on the island of Ireland. It was zero at the start of the month afaik.

Indeed! in a couple of weeks it could be genuinely dangerous out there and we might need to avail of the 6 week /€203 payment offered by the government, for the time being if we take proper precautions we should be ok.

Two of the most relevant and at the same time damning posts about how low on the Richter Scale we are lads,FN staff afraid of contact with the drivers who are paying their fukkin wages whilst along with that cancer Ebbs telling people that Taxi drivers will do their shopping for them while they stay home in safety.... WTF up lads and protect yourselves and your families and particularly your elderly relatives.

I have to laugh because the people at the front line dealing with this are wearing full protective suits with goggles and masks in our hospitals.But the taxi driver thinks they can keep it at bay with a few baby wipes.Even though people with no symptoms are just as contagious as the ones fighting for their lives on respirators in the hospitals.
They're closing beaches in Austrailia and Car parks in Glendalough because they don't trust people to stay two meters away from each other.
But the taxi driver thinks he will be alright if he cracks a window.Something isn't adding up for me.Either the taxi drivers are right or the medical advisors to the WHO are right.It can't be both.Guess which ones I'd bet my gaff on.

True for some Watty.I'd most likely be ok but I've family who probably would not.
I was out making a killing during the snow years ago when many were afraid to drive in it.But this thing is different.It's near impossible to thoroughly disinfect every contact surface and fabric in our taxis after every fare.Seatbelts must be filthy.Trying to clean every window button 100% after every job.Not a chance.

All it takes is one cough from one person or one note handed to you by an infected person.

Maybe Ebbs is afraid he will loose the HSE contract thats why he will sacrifice the drivers health to keep it

@ MFH: The virus can't walk so it's the passengers who sit in the dirty part of your taxi that can be exposed. Just don't clean your taxi (i.e. touch it) and you'll be ok :P
markmiwurdz is right - it's the coughers and the cash that'll get ya... Open windows might not protect you. If they cough strongly enough and get the virus on your steering wheel...
For me, the Govt are thinking of stopping people walking on Piers and in National Parks because they won't stay 6 feet away from each other. But it's ok to get into a small metal box with a taxi driver?

The "front line" people you mention are dealing directly with infected people or those who believe they may be infected, however your local Tesco shelf packer/ checkout operator or pharmacy worker is in normal clothing and are depending on the guidelines given by the experts ... people should self isolate given certain criteria, cough into their elbow. use sanitiser/soap and pay using CCs. etc
Should all tesco employees leave their posts based on "social distancing" and sign on?
There is an argument that the business has been affected financially in such a way that it is untenable to continue, however using the current odds of being infected doesn't seem justifiable to me and is akin to telling all supermarket/pharmacy/factory/hospital and everyone else doing a job outside of the home that they are going to be infected and might die,
Demeaning posts casting aspersions towards those drivers who decide to continue offering a service in an effort to justify ones own stance is churlish.

It's true that everyone has to measure the risk for themselves.
But go into (almost?) any shop now and they have markers on the floor telling you how far apart you should stand. Can you keep yourself that far apart from your front seat passenger?
As an aside, did you visit your parents today (Mothers Day) or did you say to yourself it was too risky that you might infect them?

^^^^Roy I'm gonna bump thread in a month from now and we will see who was smart for offering vital services.I'm honestly not really that bothered if drivers wanna work but don't be pretending they're some sort of heroes on the frontline.
Anyway those of us deciding not to work can probably afford not to.The ones who are working that don't need the cash and might have significant bank balances might be sorry in a few weeks.I hope not though.
-
There should be absolutely no respect to these drivers who work in these conditions.they are helping to prolong a dangerous situation in complete defiance of the advice given by the HSE and others.thwir lords and masters Ebbs,Kearns Kelly etc dont give a fukk
-
I have to laugh because the people at the front line dealing with this are wearing full protective suits with goggles and masks in our hospitals.But the taxi driver thinks they can keep it at bay with a few baby wipes.Even though people with no symptoms are just as contagious as the ones fighting for their lives on respirators in the hospitals.
They're closing beaches in Austrailia and Car parks in Glendalough because they don't trust people to stay two meters away from each other.
But the taxi driver thinks he will be alright if he cracks a window.Something isn't adding up for me.Either the taxi drivers are right or the medical advisors to the WHO are right.It can't be both.Guess which ones I'd bet my gaff on.
The "front line" people you mention are dealing directly with infected people or those who believe they may be infected, however your local Tesco shelf packer/ checkout operator or pharmacy worker is in normal clothing and are depending on the guidelines given by the experts ... people should self isolate given certain criteria, cough into their elbow. use sanitiser/soap and pay using CCs. etc
Should all tesco employees leave their posts based on "social distancing" and sign on?
There is an argument that the business has been affected financially in such a way that it is untenable to continue, however using the current odds of being infected doesn't seem justifiable to me and is akin to telling all supermarket/pharmacy/factory/hospital and everyone else doing a job outside of the home that they are going to be infected and might die,
Demeaning posts casting aspersions towards those drivers who decide to continue offering a service in an effort to justify ones own stance is churlish.

Well it seems Ebbs plebs are the ones spreading germs with no concern for anyone not even themselves and that sniveling bastard is sitting at his desk not giving a bollox about these drivers
Incredible from a man who sent his own wife into battle with the virus just so his meat and two veg would be put in front of him.

Seriously lads is it worth it?,if you get away with it personally-yeah you're making coin while the fools stay at home,if you catch it yourself or unknowingly bring it with you to an elderly relative/friend/neighbour well then you really are in the brain dead department.
We are in a tightly enclosed space,we cannot keep the proper distance from virus carriers.

Follow the advice of Govt... if/when they determine that taxis ought to be displaced that will happen. Familiarise yourself with what HSE know about the virus and how it is spread and you won't be long concluding that a supermarket is a far more dangerous place to be than a car.

Disagree,most supermarkets have markings on the floor and screens at checkouts etc,also if a person coughs in your vicinity you can turn around and walk quickly away from them.

... and what about the produce you're handing, the same produce that is handled item by item by the checkout operator wearing virus infested gloves. Like I said, think about how the virus is spread rather than getting hung up on social distancing. The likelihood of someone being infected and coughing on you and their cough hitting you in one or both of your eyes, in your mouth or up your nose is rather remote compared to the likelihood of it being spread through your produce:

How coronavirus is spread
Coronavirus is spread in sneeze or cough droplets.
You could get the virus if you:
come into close contact with someone who has the virus and is coughing or sneezing
touch surfaces that someone who has the virus has coughed or sneezed on
As it's a new illness, we do not know how easily the virus spreads from person to person. Spread is most likely from those who have symptoms.
The virus may only survive a few hours if someone who has it coughs or sneezes on a surface. Simple household disinfectants can kill the virus on surfaces. Clean the surface first and then use a disinfectant.

A Lady infected with Covid19 traveled from Italy to Northern Ireland through Dublin.
All those sitting beside her tested negative
All those sitting in front and behind her tested negative
all of those ajacent to her tested negative
the cabin crew who attended her tested negative
the taxi driver who took her to connolly station tested negative
There were 2 occasions during last week were I felt vulnerable to the virus
One where a young girl in Tesco followed her dad around with pursed lips trumpeting out a tune for a few minutes spraying everyone and everything around her, another in Robbie's Deli in Kilmacud when a bearded man coughed into the air close to my vicinity.
I brought a couple from the Airport to Roscommon yesterday and I'm happy that even if one of us were infected we didn't pass that on to each other because of the precautions taken.

Protect yourself and others from coronavirus
Coronavirus is spread in sneeze or cough droplets. To infect you, it has to get from an infected person's nose or mouth into your eyes, nose or mouth.
It’s important to wash your hands properly and often.

Precautions ??? In a taxi ???? Where you wearing an aspirator , goggles , Hakeem suit etc ???

HSE disagree to some extent, Octy. In any event the infected person needs to get their cough/sneeze into your eyes, into your mouth or up your nose either way. That's most likely to happen indirectly i'e by you touching something they sneeze or cough on and subsequently pick your nose or teeth or wipe your eyes.

No, it's not at it's most infectious when there are no symptoms, the problem here is that the carrier and you are likely to believe no virus is present and will happily exchange bodily fluids without precautions'
You should always behave as though you have the virus and do not want to pass it on, if everybody did this we'd all be safer.
Too many, and I feel many on here believe they should protect themselves from others and that their spit, faeces and cum is ambrosia

No I'm not disagreeing with the hse ...infact I totally agree....
I am positive it's mostly spread by touching objects then touching your eyes but the fact of the matter is ....if you are on a confined space within 1 or 2 meters of a person for more than 15 minutes then you are at risk ....that is also hse guidelines....I think ther are a cople on here who are bending the rules so they can justify makin a few bob when they have to realise at some level that they are putting themselves at risk .....wats that phrase that lipp uses ....." cognitive dissonance " I believe

I actually havnt disagreed with anything you say there if you analyse wat I wrote ....but I do disagree with you wen you believe you are not at risk by bring those 2 people to ros common for example ......if you wer told at the airport by the airport police that they had the virus and would you mind bring them home ....wat would you do?
How do you know wheather anyone in your taxi has it or not ? Do you ask them to leave if they cough? And if they have it and have no symptoms....are you capable of getting it off them ? According to the experts you most definitely could ...

You are at risk... correct. That doesn't mean you will contract it simply by being within 1.98 metres of the carrier. It means there's some chance that they will cough directly into your eyes, mouth or nose or that they will leave the virus on a surface that you will subsequently touch, etc... Risk means it's possible regardless of how improbable. You can, of course, reduce the risk by following HSE guidelines on hand hygiene surface disinfection.
HSE don't seem to attach much risk (of course there is some) to a direct hit from a cough as they conclude that:

Using masks is unlikely to be of any benefit if you are not sick.

I tend to agree with you on that, Octy. I think HSE should promote wearing masks and eye protection where it isn't possible to maintain a distance of 2 metres given that they include maintaining that distance as one of their six social distancing suggestions.
In fact I'm going to go as far as suggesting that taxi drivers who are working should wear surgical masks.

It's very difficult to remove those surgical type gloves without touching them. I think I'd opt for HSE's suggestion of hand cleaning instead of gloves. I guess you could do both.
https://www2.hse.ie/conditions/coronavirus/protect-yourself.html
Disposable gloves
Do not wear disposable gloves instead of washing your hands. The virus gets on them in the same way it gets on your hands. Also, your hands can get contaminated when you take them off.
Disposable gloves are worn in medical settings. They rip easily and are not as effective in daily life.
Wearing disposable gloves can give you a false sense of security.
You might:
sneeze or cough into the gloves - this creates a new surface for the virus to live on
contaminate yourself when taking off the gloves or touching surfaces
touch your face with the gloves
-
I met a recently qualified cabbie at the pharmacist this evening. I told him I'm off since the 13th because I didn't want to contract or spread the virus.
He said he's going out again tonight because people have been very good about coughing and sneezing into their sleeve. Add in the statement ", I'm bored at home!"

Waisting your time Johnny.......
This whole argument that a supermarket worker is just as likely to get the chinese plaugue is just load of gick an ratti knows it .........I smell a rat
Here this will explain why yur more likely to get it in a taxi than a supermarket......
To calculate the mathematical difference ......between gettin it in a taxi an gettin it in a supermarket....if some cnut sneezes or coughs within a given area (volume)
We can use the ideal gas law equation ....assuming the area within the supermarket an the area within the taxi are the same temperature ....an n ( average size of cougher/sneezer is the same ie . Volumetric lung capacities are equal in both cases
Here is the equation applicable
P(V)1 =nRT / P(V)2=nRT × 100/1 = percentage difference
Where V1 is the volume of the supermarket premises....
An V2 is the volume of the average taxi
R a constant = R = 8.314462618... kg⋅m2⋅s−2⋅K−1⋅mol−1.

That might work if you were dealing with a Gas, Octy. However, the virus is spread through droplets which are a Liquid.
It's beyond dispute that a taxi operator can comply with more of HSE's suggested social distancing measures than supermarkets. The suggestions are published, it's all there in black and white. A taxi operator is also far better placed to manage the risk as he comes into contact with far fewer surfaces.
I was in a lot of shops, not just supermarkets, last Thursday and there were plenty of people wondering round picking stuff up, putting it back down, etc... You might wonder why this is allowed because you clearly haven't understood a word of what Govt/HSE have told you they are trying to do i.e. slow the spread of the virus. Nobody is trying to stop the virus. The consensus is that it must spread to build immunity within the community and to get rid of it. If we went into lockdown with food delivered by suitably attired officials/soldiers the virus would never go away, it'd just wait for us to end the lockdown.
Given the 14 day incubation period the effects of social distancing will only start to reckoned this week. Govt can then decide if further restrictions are required depending on it's targets and projected progress towards the same. I expect we will see further measures to tackle large numbers of people visiting relatively small areas e.g. parks, nature trails, etc. However, there will still be a requirement for folk to get out and spread the virus so it's unlikely supermarkets will be closed.
-
As I've said before expect this to return with a vengeance in months to come....we're coming into what some call the Summer.....I'd be buying more jacks roll in Sept/Oct.... a cert it mutates and gets even more severe.
-
You practically accused THD of murder because he went to work, erm. Are all supermarket workers murderers in your eyes too?
Its simple you are a money hungry cunt or you are not Shopworkers on a tenner an hour just like taxi drivers on less have the choice to go to work or not Meself and Big Dommo know how to survive its based on intelligence .Your Third level degree wont be worth a fuck in the new reality .I believe the poster said his family were involved in Medical services which is commendable ,Why would he risk spreading to them or from them I would suggest walk the dog stay at home .
Waisting your time Johnny.......
This whole argument that a supermarket worker is just as likely to get the chinese plaugue is just load of gick an ratti knows it .........I smell a rat
Here this will explain why yur more likely to get it in a taxi than a supermarket......
To calculate the mathematical difference ......between gettin it in a taxi an gettin it in a supermarket....if some cnut sneezes or coughs within a given area (volume)
We can use the ideal gas law equation ....assuming the area within the supermarket an the area within the taxi are the same temperature ....an n ( average size of cougher/sneezer is the same ie . Volumetric lung capacities are equal in both cases
Here is the equation applicable
P(V)1 =nRT / P(V)2=nRT × 100/1 = percentage difference
Where V1 is the volume of the supermarket premises....
An V2 is the volume of the average taxi
R a constant = R = 8.314462618... kg⋅m2⋅s−2⋅K−1⋅mol−1.
Big Dommo was in a taxi with Rialto Driver one night coming home from Dolores Kellys Grannys Birthday Party and he says to Rialto your a scruffy cunr look at the dirt of those winders and Mirror .Rialto says thats Snot some cunr sneezed last week I havent had time to clean it I was away for the Weekend at a Man Utd game with Tommy Two Scars .Anyway the point is projectile snuffels splash all over the metal cannister that is a Car .Comparing it with a Supermarket is like comparing a Dog with a Spanner .
-
That's what they are trying to prevent by managing the spread... If nobody was allowed catch it for a period that would be a certainty, apparently.
-
Indeed, erm. Supermarkets obviously cannot comply with half of HSE's social distancing suggestions.
Anywaysanall, you haven't told us why you think you will survive... Do you think you won't catch the virus or do you think you are younger, fitter and healthier than TDH's immediate family?
-
Plague killed many Monks... hermetically sealed people will die too.
-
Who'll be foolhardy enough to return to work?
Given that the first person to come into contact with the first victim outside of the Airport was a Taxi driver and it's odds on it was a Taxi driver who met the second, third, forth, fifth ...etc that came home infected from Italy ...
why return at all, knowing you'll be first in the Q for whatever pandemic blows our way next time?
If you feel your hygiene standards aren't up to the mark
If you are afraid to be in the presence of anyone infected with a virus
maybe you should hang up the keys and leave it to the rest of us?
just saying like ... yiz are all so precious and all
-
The virus (and presumably future viruses) needs to spread, just not too fast. I've no objection to DAA licensed drivers looking after that for us.
-
Virus me bollox the Jacks was stuffed with baby wipes and jacks roll and a big dobble of Shite I was elbow deep tiddling the u bend and massaging the multiwick to free it .Then I washed me hands in Demostos and wiped them dry on the towel that everybody else in the Gaff uses .Hope the towel was dizzzzeeeezzzze freee.

If Leo or Simon go on the telly and ask us to return to the ranks in the national interest I'll reconsider my stance.The facts are they don't need us.Unemployed fukkers.everywhere offering lifts for free.
What we're seeing here is the symptom of an older unfit fleet.Lads who were fukked over during the last recession are getting a chance to make the most out of our self unemployed status and give two fingers to the NTA .It's only been a few years since we were fukking each other over for a tenner an hour.

-
It seems as though some drivers are only now realising their cabs are petri dishes for viral and bacterial infections, maybe they should rethink their future?
Personal hygiene and vehicle cleanliness was always a function of the job, strange as that may seem to some on here.
Customers too are becoming more aware of how easily these things spread and will be even more reluctant to enter the garbage cans some call taxis
seriously ... you have 5 more weeks before the government stops the handout, so practice house painting, gardening, PHP programming ... whatever takes your fancy ... yiz are definitely not cut out to be taxi drivers, it\s just not a job not for wimps
-
Freenow advised passengers in a recent email to touch as few surfaces as possible when inside a taxi.
Lucky for me I don't have a regular customer base that I need to service.Some other driver will cover my customers.I can sit out this for a couple of years without going broke.Life's too short lads.
-
This might interest some of yis...Portugese authorites are only allowing passengers in the back and it can be only one third of the vehilces capacity.

Rideshare on the way?
-
With the new found community spirit out there I suspect a few wannabe taxi drivers could start their own transportation services under the radar.
There's a thread over on Boardzzz dunno if you saw it where D15 residents are complaining about the cost of taxis to the airport and I think they've set up some sort of neighbourly arrangement to drop each other to the airport on rotation.All above board but could easily lead to a cut price taxi service if someone gets laid off.

Could be a good time to slip it in.

Just to be clear, I never said That I was or was not working! just that the internet now seems to have turned full on witchhunt and that there seems to be a lot of holier than thou fingerpointing .
Most taxi men have cars and if they need to go shopping to feed themselves or their loved ones or any other essential journey I'ts quite easy .
This is not true of everyone.
Both of my parents are in their 80's and now live separately and both alone. My mother still drives and can get out easily enough if she needs to. My Father cannot and depends on me or my siblings for this. some older or disabled people don't even have that luxury.. so they get a Taxi and luckily there are still some Taxis out there to provide that service.
If for some reason we were unable to help out my father and he really needed to go somewhere, then I personally would much rather see him get a Taxi than a Bus, Luas or Dart . The reasons for this should be obvious to anyone except the hard of thinking !

You can practice social distancing on virtually empty buses, not so in taxis.

Well I personally took the roof sign off,and the bus lanes are not inportant at the moment cause there is not much traffic

@ john On the surface of it that seems reasonable enough, but then if you think about it a little then it starts to look a lot like virtue (or more accurately compliance ) signalling . Thirty Pieces of Silver ???? who mentioned profits except you ? remember what you say speaks more about you than anyone you say it about !
I'm beginning to think that a lot of the witchfinders on here are pissed off thinking that others are making money when they are not and that is what is really bugging them.. I really doubt that that is true ! so you can all wind your collective necks in.

based on this information we are not really safe in any public space especially when we are touching surfaces that others have touched ...
so people who need to travel and who are still capable of thinking for themselves can figure out what is the safest mode of transport !

There is nothing safe with this virus and by the time they find a defensive vaccination....it will probably have mutated...I fear for the long haul...but take it day by day...

Don't claim the money if you're working still....you only have to give people your name and address, not your pps no......but they can get it anyway within a min on their joined-up laptops.

Lippy I dont think after today drivers CAN work.surely taxi drivers would not be seen as an essential service ? Anyway it would be very much mortally wrong to do such a thing
-
Without Taxi drivers how would essential service workers get to home and back by night ?
-
They are not mentioned on the list of key workers,theogh no doubt Kearns ,Kelly,and Ebbs will try and change that,and try and make it look like they are Florence Nightingale
-
You worry way too much about the dispatchers DM.
We have plenty of them down here in Cork too, what they do is their own business, I couldn't give a Fiddlers what they do, I just do my own thing.
-
Belker I dont worry about them,I just fukin HATE them.they. seem to think independent drivers have no right to operate in this industry.their drivers in some cases are absolute thugs,indeed I had that experience one night on the north wall with two of Kearns thugs,and a friend of mine had it with some of Kellys thugs in clontarf castle
-
You reckon the dispatchers have no right to work in the industry.
(dispatchers).... seem to think independent drivers have no right to operate in this industry.

No I reckon they are not NEEDED in the industrya big difference.anyway as I said all along I hope this is the death knell for them

Over 59s and Smokers are defined as "at risk" by HSE. Global stats to date support the over 59 bit of that with that group far more likely to die than those under 30. In fact, the majority of relatively healthy under 30 non-smokers won't even notice when they get the virus.
-
]Can you explain how this is a better or safer option ? (given that we don't know anything about these people and who they have been in contact with)
I'm not suggesting it's a better or safer option but a taxi driven by a stranger would be no different. My point is that communities will pull together and watch out for one another.

Did you know that according to the Hse that if you quit smoking for 28 days that you are 5 times more likely to quit for good than if you never bothered trying to quit at all??
Fcuking most stupid campaign ever..
“ If you Quit smoking for 28 days you're 5 times more likely to quit for good. The HSE Quit service has launched a new advertising campaign with the message that if you quit smoking for 28 days you're 5 times more likely to quit for good.”
It’s like saying if you go on a diet you are 5 times more likely to lose weight than someone who continues to shove delicious Maccky D’s down my...his gullet 3 times a day ..

I made a number of predictions on here in the last two weeks .I said there was no way the infected figures would reach 15000 by the end of the month,or anything like it.the experts who predicted otherwise, are now changing their minds.I also predicted this will start to level out late next week,we have to wait and see do the numbers of infected start to drop.I also predicted a vaccine will be found,and will be used in weeksi instead of years I believe they have already started testing a vaccine which has shown positive results.John m eat your heart out

DM, hows about zis one for predications .
A couple were walking through Moscow one day and an old friend of theirs, Olf, who was a member of their local communist party wing, started talking to them.
Olf always had a reputation for being kind at heart, but gruff and a bit sour in conversation.
As they finished their conversation, Olf told them it would start raining in around an hour and a half.
As they left, the husband remarked how accurate Olf's weather predictions always were.
The wife said "Well of course, Rude Olf the Red knows rain, dear"

This was spoken of before on another thread, which I can't recall much about, but I do remember the topic was about selling on your Joe privately after it's 10 years of service and some of the wiser folk on here stated that once the car was taxed regardless as what it was taxed under then that tax carried through till year end.

Is there any point in cancelling insurance for say one month,or can you even do that ?

Question for tis.I dont think ill be back driving a taxi at all,but certainly not for the next 3 months at least.question is this can I cancel my insurance for that period of 3 months,or do I have to continu paying it throuhout the time ill ill be in here plus recovery time
I found this on the Axa website;
If you’ll be away for less than a year:
If you have other named drivers on your policy who will be driving your car while you’re away, you should keep the policy as-is.
If your car won’t be used for 28 days or more, you can suspend your insurance instead of cancelling it. All you have to do is return your certificate and disc to your insurer. This will give you a pro-rata refund of 75% of the premium you paid at the last renewal date for the suspension period based on the amount of time your car is out of use. Keep in mind there could be some administration fees with this.
If you suspend your policy, you and any other named driver(s) will have no cover to drive the car, but you may still be covered against fire or theft. Check the specific terms of your coverage to be sure this applies to you.
If you are having too much fun to come home and decide to extend your time abroad, taking you into a new period of insurance, your best option is to cancel your contract.

Here is my thinking Im looking at a Minimum of 3 months .It took 3 months in Wouhan and thats the only guide we have .If you have a car loan ring them they will suspend it for a while they dont want defaults as that effects Their Credit worthiness same with Credit Cards .If you are stuck for coin take the 3 month mortgage hiatus .There is nothing we can do to stop the virus but you can look after your own health as best you can and look after your mental health losing it and saying stuff you know you mean but never said is not a good idea ,stress will play a big part in sitting at home so if your pissed off get on here and abuse us We know its banter but it might just keep you sane .SANE In THIS FOUR POSTER BEXROOM .

By taking the PSV cover off my policy they said it represented 75% of my premium.That's approximately €115 per month.For some others it could be much more.

No, it is Not, read the full story about it DM, not just the headlines or the bits that you like.
Transport is still allowed or at least it was yesterday.

SPSV services are an essential part of public transport...unfortunately drivers lives and that of their respective families arn't worth a fuk!!
Wash your hands!!
-
No more than supermarket workers, healthcare workers, utility workers, shoppers, ramblers, etc, etc, etc...
However, I do think they should advise drivers to wear masks while working and advise drivers who are "at risk" (over 59, weak immune system, pregnant or smokers) not to work.
-
Well I think they ,the authorities ,would be better employed checking how many of these greedy fukkers are also claiming the 350
-
They should be allowed the 350 on top of whatever they earn, they are providing an essential service... and that goes for all workers IMO.

Ok whatever

NO they ask the last day you worked if you made a paper application you can still make an on line claim .They say they will backdate your claim to when you last worked .

I think the delay was more to do with the Legislation was not passed in the Dail .

Public Service Card, now not required for online application for the Covid 19 Virus emergency payment.Ok first of all you sign up for mygov.ie basic user with your email ,then reply to activate then hit my welfare section then covid 19 application done in minutes .

......... Fuk sake I still havn got a penny off the cnuts ...at leat 2 weeks ago i handed the kunty ting in to the 3 gigglin girls ........
I posted mine off on Fri 20th (back dated to the 13th) and as of yet got nothing, but I do expect to be paid next Tuesday as that is the stated payday.
If you handed the form in by hand between 13-19 March then you should have got 203 last Tuesday. Maybe best to wait and see if you like me get anything this Tuesday and if not then ring them then, I would imagine they are very busy.
-
Busy or not belker,they are the ones who declared tuesday as payday.if they felt they could not deliver,then they should not nominated that date.we the public did not suggest that date ,they did

Ill try again to explain .Now sit up straight cross your arms and listen (for a change ) The government COULD NOT MAKE PAYMENTS .Oh really Why is that John .Ok Ill tell you .Before the government can spend money they must pass a money bill in the Dail .Really ? Yes Really this is to stop a minister passing a SI which the Constitution allows and Paying His missus or boyfriend a few Billion which would actually be legal .So to prevent ministers purloining funds ALL monies spent by the Government must be in the Budget or in a Money Bill which must be passed by the Dail .You will remember the Dail was recalled to vote on the Bailout after Lenihan announced it on the 7oc news .The reason you did not get paid was because it would be illegal to pay you without a Money Bill first being passed .I hope this helped .

So why are they not passing this bill then,whats the delay ?

Wont let me do that without psc ...that's why it gave me an appointment......is that changed now
-
Yes, Octy, you do not require psc card.
What you need to do is create a basic account with my gov.ie. I posted this in another thread, here:
You need an email account, pps number and your iban and bic details for your bank account. you do not requre the public services card to apply for
the emergency payment.
Go to the following link, press the orange button 'Apply Now', scroll to the bottom and click on 'Create Acount'. you enter your email and password, they
will then send out to you email a five digit code and you need to enter to verify the email. once this is done. you can login in and enter your pps and
bank details. Do it online, it should miles quicker than fecking snail post.

Explain why some driver GOT PAID, whilst others didn’t? Were they paid illegally?
Can we now sue the government because they paid people before the “money bill” was passed into Law??

How many drivers got Paid ?Were they already in reciept of another payment ?

I would hazard a guess that drivers (who filled out the postal form correctly) between 13-19 March got their 203 last Tuesday.
And drivers who applied since the 19th or shortly after will be paid the 350 this Tuesday.

Depends on where you live I'd say.Each welfare office has varying amounts of customers.
And I'll repeat no staff would want to be handling contaminated post so they probably left them in bags for a few days or binned them knowing the online system was being set up.I didn't get paid and I dropped the form in on Paddy's day.I'm not in a hurry as everything is closed.
It's been busy for the last five years what the hell did yis do with all the money that you need to be hounding the welfare when they're up to their bollox.
-
It's alright for workaholics like you. What about the men that need the job to feed their families anall?
-
They'll get paid eventually.No amount of harassment of the welfare staff will get any results.
Back in 2009 when I was waiting for the carriage office to process my PSV I applied for means tested Jobseekers allowance and it took them three months to process my claim.I was actually working the taxi and claiming it took so long.I think it was only 50 a week after the means test.
-
They might not have any food to put on the table.
All the full-time men were working and claiming in 2009, perfectly legit.
-
I doubt they have no food.Most of us haven't felt hunger pains in at least 40 years.
I'm gonna use the surplus of the 350 payment and buy a BMW..
-
They might not have any food to put on the table.
They should of had stores in they knew this was comming .To quote Big Dommo with regard to saving ."He who tapps and puts away will have a smoke another day ,but he who smokes it to the butt shant have a smoke when the shops are shut "
-
Some of them take a lot of feeding...
-
So where is the dosh going to come from in the long run to pay for all the welfare payments going to people affected by this?.It will have to be found somewhere some time down the line when we eventually emerge from our cocoon.
-
The pension bill will be somewhat reduced going forward.

The pension bill will be somewhat reduced going forward.
That'll save a few quid there alright but there'll be a few pockets picked when the dust settles,nothing surer...
-
Indeed... there'll be less smokers around too... that money will have to come from somewhere.
Are the full-time professional Jobseekers still on €203/week or did they get a raise too? I suppose they're already saving a fortune with the pubs and the bookies closed...
