    Circumference would also be 12.5 but 12.5km, not km2

    Fair enough. Presumed you meant circumference since its shows the possible size of a single loop

    Very true, yet even with those clear advantages our numbers don't look so great compared to countries without those advantages that went after this virus hard and on more fronts.

    Sorry dunno how to get the graph in english and for some reason pic attachments aren't working for me today.

    That’s because instead of cocooning and protecting the most vulnerable in our society, what we did, was import the virus into the homes caring for out most vulnerable. Then refuse then hospital treatment.

    It was a typo clearly, the restrictions are 2km not 1.

    You don't need to use all the actual area to get considerably more an a 2km route.

    It was you that stated they had that area to use, not me. I just pointed that they didn't.

    Maybe I'm the person that shows up to save your life,
    I have to put my welfare at risk for the sake of yours, I'm aware flattening the curve doesn't change the area underneath the curve and nobody talks about that or what it means

    Busy here in Kilkenny- weird to not have tourists about though. Some places like Insomnia coffee shops now reopened. Bit by bit this bankrupting non sense is coming to a natural end.

    No, I completely understand the the content in the video, anybody who saw the video, especially when it was broadcast would too. Why would you think I am plain ignorant? I asked what's your point, not to be a smart ass, but I guess the nature of your reply demonstrates your intellectual limits to the world.

    The way the British media reported on Italy and Spain when they were at the height of infection and deaths compared to the treatment of their own current crisis, which has seen deaths surpass those of Italy, has been scandalous. Where are the reports from inside the UK's various red zones? The dramatic reports from inside overrun hospitals? It's difficult to even get the figures not to mind see any criticism of the UK government's handling of the situation on the likes of the BBC and Sky News. Always ready to point the finger at others, never great to look at their own ugly reflection in the mirror.

    In the age of the internet we are completely desensitized to videos like this, it's like the videos of the African children on the tv, it's not a shock anymore. We are programmed to forget about it a minute later.

    Beach was packed again yesterday. Great buzz. Walked over to the harbour then because it seemed like a good few over there. Deadly craic. Serious heat. Mental how the weather can change so drastically in 24 hours.

    I do think that this weekend is the threshold for people giving in and meeting up with friends & family, travelling further than 5k etc, going my my social media news feeds anyways. Before this weekend, there was very little unnecessary movements from people I know. I'm 30.

    Community transmission is very low now and I would hope that people are still being cautious by continuing to use sanitizer etc

    No.ni haven't broken the rule not once.
    I'm actually amazed that I haven't but there you go:)

    If someone had told me I'd be queueing for Tesco and other supermarkets and no other shops open and I'd only go to local park) graveyard/field all close to our home and I'd go to work which is just under 2km from home I'd have said they were talking out their as$.

    And I've done it with a complaint:0

    Having said that, I have enjoyed the quiet roads, lack of noise all around and the increase in bird song/ activity.
    It'll be sad to see the traffic increase *sigh*

    Are kids allowed play with kids from other households yet?

    I'm starting to see this a bit more

    I see it everywhere. Most families do not care anymore.

    I have still stayed within guidelines (begrudginly at this point), but one positive to come from all of this is the great sense of community in our area again.
