Culchies around the country gone nuts. Maybe the Dubs should do the same and stop them heading back to work, their digs and so on. Dublin born only, think of the reduction on road congestion and public transport.

Good explanation about those rapid anti body tests there on Prime Time - not worth spending money on

Pretty funny that a few days in the Usa are pushing ''we've flattened the curve'' wtf . No where near, they're at the bottom of their climb, the peak is a long way off, as for the flattened curve, it's a mirage in the desert at the minute.

It’s not the fact that people have to suck it up, it’s the fact that that needs to be recognised, it’s not easy for people to do. It’s not easy for older people to basically cut themselves off from the outside world. And attitudes like this of suck it up are exactly the type that will make people resent the restrictions even more, and perhaps make them more likely to try and break them. We have to look out for each other, and try to be caring rather than have a stuff you attitude.

You do have to just suck it up though. Bottom line. I’ve every sympathy for people suffering with these restrictions (I’m one of theM myself, home with small children) and there are times when I’m tearing my hair out and the whole situation completely overwhelms me. I literally can’t get my head around the fact that we are all being held to randsom by something that can be killed with soap suds.

But I am wholly and completely behind the restrictions and I am prepared to suck it up for as long as it takes to keep my family safe and to hopefully get back to some semblance of normal life resuming.

Found mine in the recycling, it was just a sheet of paper you'd barely pay attention to. Just looked like any other standard junk mail that comes in the door.

It's more than fair. If you can't support us then don't expect us to support you.

Mad how Boris Johnson is part of a party that critically under funds the NHS, and people are on this thread giving all their well wishes. If you want what's best on a per human being basis, you wouldn't maintain any sort of positive feeling towards this man and his party. Just goes to show you.

Don't think people are going to wish death on Boris no matter how much of a repugnant person he is

They’re probably looking at neighbouring Sweden and taking a half way approach. I’m very interested to see how Sweden get on because their approach is very different and they don’t believe that kids are vectors of covid, which is directly in conflict to our approach and thinking....

I go to my local beach (yes it's within a 2km radius of me) for my walk and see very few people there. Your 40% figure doesn't stand up to what's happening around the country.

I think your comments reflect the true reality of the situation at present - based on my own particular observations.

It's a very risky approach no?

I think there's going to be a looming mental health crisis off the back of all this. I don't suffer from anything personally but even I am starting to feel that black dog. Vulnerable people must really be feeling it now. It's bleak.

With all cheap labour flooding it from outside the pale, introducing nuttin but hang salad sangwiches to our fine cultural city. You make a good point.

Still missing my point like the other poster..... anyways not going to explain it again.

He has none. The vast majority are complying. But we need to tighten down on the few putting the rest of us at risk.

60/40 is a ludicrous assertion.

Are drones being used to monitor towns? I spotted one in the air last week in a controlled flightpath which didn't looks like your typical hobby drone on an outing.

more likely somebody bored or nosey or filming for tv. There are regulations if it is bothering you that you could lookup, or a hurley or slingshot!
however, might be checking illegal burning on mountains or parks. last thing the firebrigade need to be dealing with at moment.

It's ok. Their State epidemiologist Anders Tegnell has said his way is the best. Despite over 2000 scientists and doctors there signing a petition to tighten restrictions and introduce more stringent containment measures.

Well, like any approach time and history can only judge that. Not all medical advisors agree with each other, and various countries have various approaches. Hence I am watching Sweden with curiosity and hope that their approach leads to as good an outcome as countries following the more restrictive approach, because perhaps we can get our lives back to normal quicker.
