Hal regardless of my medical condition, I just think it's not nearly as bad as people are trying to make out
Daollymount  The Pope has decided to give his papal address over the internet and not to the congregation of the faithfull .When Victoria Quay is lined with the dead bodies of American Visitors in Green Crimpaleen Slacks and Bawneen Ganzees who couldnt breath as they leave the Storehouse and waddle back to their Kavanagh Tourbus .You will think to yourself all the hysteria I ignored was good advice .At least the man who can say what was all that bollox about is still alive .The KILL rate of the Italian Cough version of the China Cough seems to be more potent it has a murder rate of 3.4%

Yep 3.4% very high it was 2% up it went.Spanish Flu in 1918 was between 2% and 3% and that did serious damage.There was no flights back then and world war 1 only ended.quicker they get vaccine the better.

How does Ermy find the time to post, while at the same time being the chief adviser to the CDC?

And if that's not enough, he's looking for causal work.

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
That was Vinny on a recruitment drive, saying that the ranks must be even quieter than Xpert.

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.
They already carried Ebola, Corona  could end them!

I'd say the Govt are waiting to see how things go with the Italians in town this weekend.  If there's a spike in infections next week, then they'll cancel the parade and tell the Paddy Day tourists to stay in their hotels and drink Guinness.  Maybe let them reclaim the VAT on their beer  :2cheers  This weekend, I've been avoiding the city centre (and Italians) and sticking to the suburbs.  Money's down a bit but not as bad as if I got infected by the Italians and had to spend 2 weeks at home!


There's worse things than the virus anyways.  First taxi I saw this morning had been crashed into by 2 scumbags in a stolen car in Finglas.  Taxi driver was ok and the Guards were on-scene arresting the 2 scroats.  Looked like one of them was trying to protest his innocence but the crashed car and collapsed wall was a bit of a giveaway  C:-)  Later that day, a teenager on a motorbike was pulling wheelies up the middle of Cardiffsbridge Rd while the Garda calmly watched while waiting to turn right and away from him...  If he came off the bike, he was gonna take some motorist with him  >:(
