Yesterday Sir Patrick Vallance the Chief scientific officer said keeping the figure of deaths under 20,000 would be a good outcome.

BTW are you honestly believing what is coming out of China ?
Clever statement. If it kills much more he is proved correct in respect of how serious the virus is. If it's something under 20,000 then it proves that the advice of him and his colleagues has saved the lives of many. A win-win for Sir Patrick. But there is of course the other possibility -- that a relatively low number of deaths ultimately could be a sign that the measures introduced were essentially unwarranted.

We are in totally uncharted waters, any figures in reality have to be estimates who knows where this will eventually end. So to point fingers at anyone saying you got this right or got this wrong is rather silly.
 
All schools universities etc closed
All bars and hotels bars closed
All cinemas,hairdressers ,beauty salons etc
Any non essential premises that cannot implement social distancing is basically closed
Our factory has introduced social distancing
Split breaks reconfigured canteens etc.

Implement a payment break up to three months for business and personal customers affected by Covid-19, to be followed by ongoing reviews depending on the scale and extent of the situation. Customers wishing to avail of a payment break should contact their respective bank.
2. The banks agree there is a need for a simplified application process to make it as easy as possible for businesses and personal customers impacted by Covid-19 to receive support from their banks. We are working with all member banks to achieve this.
3. The banks want to ensure that any Covid-19 application for a payment break and further reviews will not adversely impact the customer's credit record, and the banks reporting of these facilities. Banks want to avoid this and are meeting with the Central Bank of Ireland to urgently achieve a solution in this regard.
4. Banks will also defer court proceedings for three months.
5. The banking system stands ready to provide working capital support.
6. We have had initial discussions with Credit Servicing Firms and with those non-bank lenders who provide mortgages. Both the Credit Servicing Firms and non-bank lenders have issues which we need to address with the Central Bank of Ireland, but both are committed to working with the Government and industry to provide the flexibility that people need right now.
