Covid-19 effect on Taxi Industry

[mercenary for hire]

Deadly...if I take another week off I will only lose 65% instead of 100%.

This is usually the time when we get a rush before Paddy's week.I reckon the parade will be called off but the government are waiting until the last minute so the Americans don't cancel their reservations.Also if they come under pressure from the public it won't look like they're spoiling the party.

I honestly done care if they call it off or not. It's very messy work at the best of times

Report on the news last night, that the taxi industry has been hardest hit by the virus. According to the report, drivers are down on average 35% in their takings I would have to say, that accuractuly reflected my performance last night, I don't know about the rest of you

Alot more then 35%... not a fare to be had out there lastnight.Even Public transport down as people are driving.Mate of mine runs a pub in Dublin city said very few out last night compared to last year.The quicker this goes away the better.

PADDYs DAY PARADE SHOULD BE CANCELLED .Lets call a fucking spade a Spade .The Yanks are comming the Yanks are comming .This Virus has been bouncing around the world for 3 months yet the Yanks say there are about a dozen cases in the USA .Go fuck yourselves because of the fucking Muppett you have in the Mad House you have not been testing anybody chances are the dizzzzzeeeezzzze is rampant among the Yanks but Poor []s and Hillbillies who cant afford a house without wheels cant afford a doctor and are spreading the Dizzzzeeeeezzzzze like a Ten Dollar Whores ankles .Going out on a limb here, this day next month Ireland Inc will be in total Lockdown .Google and Indeed are not allowing Visitors to their HQs I wonder why most of their Visitors are Yanks .Even the Big US companies are banning their executives from traveling Im sure Cletus Honneysuckle 1V Who is second vice president of Procurement hasent been checked for the Dizzeeeeezzze and Seamus Fahy who runs the Dublin Office dosent want to shake hands with that Peatree Dish of Filth .Be interesting to see if the Gay Doctor shakes hands with the Orangutan on Paddys Day or just hands over the Bowl of Weeds .

[Shallowhal]

FOLLOW THE MONEY ...Donny T wanted to Put Mc Ineerney to work building a wall but he couldnt get the Coin but there is no China Cold in the USofA but they can find 8.5 BILLION US Dollars to prepare to fight the non existing Virus .Do they think we will be going into the Mansion House at 7AM on Paddys Day to have our  arse painted Green .

[Shallowhal]

Ah....it's open at 7am....grand so!!

[john m]

How many more cases will b announced by close of Business Tomorrow ? If it follows the trend my Guess 9 .

[Shallowhal]

Maybe PP will give you odds!!

It's irrelevant John....it's here and that's all ye need to know,the gay foreigner and his team could have made some tough decisions....but no govt here has ever made tough decisions....and the bank bailout wasn't a tough decision...it was an instruction,

Just wash your hands for 20 seconds while singing Happy Birthday....add in the hip hip hoorays at the end if ye want,

Saw a couple of black lads driving around last night with mouth masks......that just tells me they have the virus.

[dalymount]

There is mass hysteria being created by the media. This is only a step up from the flu ffs. The flu probably kills as many was Corona . I should be more afraid then most being an astmatic, diabetic, animic, and recent quatriple pypass. Ffs when will all the scaremongering stop

[Shallowhal]

Ffs when will all the scaremongering stop


Judging by your medical history....you might not be around to see it!!

[dublin2018]

Hopefully none but doubtful.Some cases maybe go undetected and mild but spreading it, as lads above said scary times .The W.H.O figures are rising rapidly as movement of people .It would be great if it just stopped and let us get back to normal lives.Yes CANCEL that parade be a disaster.

[dalymount]

Hal regardless of my medical condition, I just think it's not nearly as bad as people are trying to make out
