I don't think the state has the power to instruct private employers to let people stay home

Of course they do!? What do you think happens during a red alert in a snow storm?

Can’t go in to much detail, but there’s a few businesses in Ireland gone bust because of this already.
More than I would have expected.
DEASP are looking for retired staff to work their Illness Benefit section too, it’s that swamped.

Dunno what ages your kids are, but "Anne with an E" (an Anne-of-Green-Gables derivative on Netflix) is lovely

The full twitter thread is clear and concise and as detailed as anyone should be on Twitter.

Despite your ATTITUDE, here is what the FT are saying, since i'm apparently posting a lot by them today, once again first three clicks will work:

Anyone else who wants to read it (or any other FT piece) just PM me and i'll send it on sure, whatever

Aha - sorry Lily.
i very rarely look at twitter and genuinely didn't realize there was more
to Blakeley's post than a one off vague comment (didn't expect link).
simply didn't understand the format - social media isn't my thing.

wasn't paying attention to this during day. just watched markets news :
WE-ARE-SO-FUCKED.
and only got a few minutes time on non specialist business bulletins.

if greedy people moving money around for a living are this panicked
already when the full impact arrives there can only be a irrecoverable
conclusion.
i wouldn't trust a bank with anything more than a current account at this stage.

and i'll never be happier to be wrong.

Gardaí say they are increasing high visibility patrols all over the country in response to the coronavirus.

The Garda Commissioner is due to announce a special policing plan tomorrow to help deal with the crisis

Additional gardaí are to be deployed to support businesses and the public and trainee gardaí from Templemore are to be used for high visibility policing

RTÉ News has also learned that the Garda College in Templemore is also to be made available as a medical centre for the Midlands in the event of large numbers of people requiring treatment for the coronavirus.

The gardaí have set up a National Co-ordination Centre reporting to the Deputy Commissioner and are finalising their policing plans in response to the coronavirus.

Extra gardaí are to be deployed around businesses such as supermarkets and chemists to provide reassurance and support to business and the public.
