Talking to friends in Ireland and flight crew who still operate to the U.K, it's quite clear to me that the Irish Government have instilled a sence of deep fear within the population and that any travel outside of Eire will result in instant death. Seemingly, the Irish powers that be have decided to only listen to the Scientist's with no attempt at any Economic balance counter initiatives/arguments.
Any nation hoping to lockdown their entire polulation for hope of the miracle vaccine that may or not appear I fear will suffer dire Economically.
And I thought the U.K was bad !
