Anyone willing to admit they're already starting to relax restrictions?

You should probably lay off your nightly lines of Tony Holohan, that **** will rot your brain

I have largely stayed compliant. I will argue against but I am a good citizen.

But if there is a travel ban in place at the beginning of July from Covid free zones and our numbers are still very low I will be disgusted.

Nice try Mr. O’Leary

We have fairly strictly stuck with "The Rules".
We live on a main road so no kids outside playing in communal areas to contend with.
We have stuck to the 2km/5km.
Our Kids have not met up with friends.
We were invited to 2 different BBQs by friends. Said no to both.
I want to see my elderly mother and my sister both with underlying health conditions but they live much further than even 20km from here.
So we will wait and stick to "The Rules" and hope for the best.

Because with life is risk and staying indoors forever is not living.

Isn't it? There's not a whole lot more to do out there than there is at home.
I have books, music and food at home. I can work from home. All I'm missing out on is queuing in shops or crowded beaches, garden centres or hardware stores. Hardly the staples of "living".
But I do know that if any of my immediate family get it, they're done for due to respiratory illnesses. Once I see no new cases for 20 days, I might begin to think differently.

I've not actually been following the news/updates, but nice try.

And what if there’s no vaccine?

Don't know.. will have to see how it plays out. Just don't want to be the one accused of bringing the virus down from Dublin and making parents or elderly relations sick... There's strong chance we might do a day trip in August maybe sit out in the garden and have lunch and chat for a few hours.

After seeing the protest March in Dublin restrictions are finished as far as I am concerned

seasonal flue is irrelevant, there is no comparison between it and covid19.



yes, for you.
the rest of us got real ages ago.



unless you don't actually know that you are high risk.
also, if enough people had got this, or even still do so, even though they will in all likely hood recover, it could be enough to overwhelm the health system.



to allow that to happen, restrictions have to be implemented hence they were.



and that is what we are doing, reintroducing normality, except in a responsible manner.
and no doubt things will be speeded up a bit for the final parts, but quite rightly it won't be on the basis of people going on a rager on boards.ie

We are all so fortunate to have wisdom such as yours to reflect on.

Feels to me that the feeling out there is that coronavirus is old boring news and SD is out the door

you are indeed.
glad to hear you are extremely appreciative.

which is great, and is one thing allowing us to reopen in a responsible manner.
but it doesn't mean this couldn't come back hard, so far it doesn't seem to have done so in other countries, but there is no room for complacency either, this isn't just going to go away by the looks of things.

Would be great if it were true

Had a great weekend in my native donegal. Trip back to Dublin today what restrictions? Never met a single soul all weekend either. Kept to ourselves.

Hosted a BBQ on Saturday at our place and went to another one yesterday. Great to meet up with people again.

Anyone who's still living in a fear-cave and listening to Uncle Tony at this stage, needs their head examined.

The Govt may have the power to wreck the economy, and boy are they doing that, but they can't stop people living their lives.

https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/country/ireland/ . given the reuters article and the graphs from worldofmeters, it seems fairly evident that this thing has largely passed by. I'd still be cautious if I was elderly or visiting elderly or vunerable people

wow, and thats Reuters, wouldn't usually be known for the sensationalism ... still though, I will be cautiously optimistic.

These next few weeks will be crucial - especially here in Spain , the amount of packed terraces I see and beer drinking, yapping ... PERO BUENO ..... if no spikes are seen in the next few weeks, lets see ...

didnt see any checkpoints when out on sunday, local beaches were closed but the amount of rubbish left on them i think a lot of people ignored the restrictions. just lazy form the council instead of trying to manage it they close the biggest open spaces we have in the north west on the hottest days we have had in years.

That's quite something. Hopefully, the journalistic geniuses running our various newsrooms will have their Reuters feed turned on and will put it to some use in challenging our unique collection of lockdown hardliners.

It will make a change from their role thus far as state megaphone departments.

What the weather like in the fear-cave?


It's lovely out in the real-world, you should try it

dhaughton99

I’m in Dublin city at the moment and it’s the busiest I’ve seen it in months. A couple of pubs I’ve passed have doors open. A lot of cafes, ice cream shops etc open. Lots of people.

I cannot decide if you really are as clueless as you appear to be, or if it is just the macho strutting of yet another anonymous keyboard warrior.

This one is killing me too. I have an elderly mother about 160km away who lives alone.

Really at this stage it is becoming an essential journey to go to see her - with proper precautions of course - but yanno golf and hairdressing is more important.

I get that you want to live your life like normal and you're going to do it, but can't you just get on with it and STFU?

Ok, I see why you can't STFU now. It's a congenital disorder. I'm sorry, I wish you all the best in life with it. Goodbye.
