Republic of Ireland closes schools etc

[Isadora2007]

Wow. I’m shocked to hear this news. Schools and colleges closed.

Will the uk follow?

They've done the right thing. I don't think that we will follow though.

A good idea. All the Irish who are at Cheltenham will take some cases back with them. It should have been cancelled. Money trumps health

I’m not sure if we will. I think it’s foolish not to but they’ve got to get the balance right - do it too soon people will get pissed off and ignore any other rules, do it too late and we risk end up with many more cases like Italy. Very difficult.
