Are you adhering to the Households rule?

Not at all. There's a curtain shop in Dublin that is deemed essential. All the electronic stores too. I'm sick of this ****. If someone wants to come to my house they can.

I just got admission to my nan's funeral over my other cousins because I play music. Score.

Yes and no. I'm done with Covid but at the same time I'm doing my best with social distancing and handwashing. We do joke at home that if I get the virus it will be thanks to my elderly father and not the other way around. I go for coffee and walks with my work colleagues, pop in to my friend's house but am not in groups or gatherings at any time.

Not at all. Had 3 friends around earlier for a match and a few beers, great laugh. I won't be putting my life on hold for something that won't affect me in the slightest.

Selfish? Probably. We are all selfish.

Christ no idea what to say other than condolences and how crap is it you get picked because of a certain talent to attend a funeral. I hope the rest of your family has the sense to turn up at the graveyard respecting SD of course.
We've had our differences lad but again condolences, hope she passed peacefully.
Can't thank your post, it's the same as putting a like on a RIP post on FB.

We need something to twitch

I must be overly cautious, given the vulnerability for severe complications for myself and many around me.

Unfortunately, my neighbours do not share the same concern for others.

But some, like you, are significantly more selfish than others.

I'm fine with that, seeing my friends and family outweigh the risk by a lot.

Lock yourself away if you so wish. I certainly won't be.

f* everyone not bothering. Not giving a s* and for putting lives at risk because they are too selfish to bother. Happy to risk Infecting healthy people, people who have fought through cancer and years of treatment to stay alive, elderly people who have worked their whole lives bit will be refused an ICU place because they are over 60 & have heart condition and are male,

F those who are putting lives and hospital workers and their families at risk because they are too impotent and selfish to pull their weight and do the basics. F those who think their last responsibility to their child was then they spat them out of their vagina.


I hope they all die screaming in regret.Preferably

The rest of us will be locked away a lot longer because of selfish people like you.

Appreciate the intensity of your anger, I'm not wishing harm on anyone. I am more sad to live in a selfish society with poor self control. I thought we were better.

We are all so busy and distracted that many of us can't live with ourselves in quiet solitude when needs must.

People who never took time to stop and think and now find it injurious to their health.

More or less whatever we like, with precautions of course

And that selfish sort will whinge loudest about the economy while doing their best to keep up and extend restrictions.

I'll just say that I am severely disappointed with the results of this poll. If half the people keep up this mindset of "it won't affect me" or "I won't get it", this craziness will never end. I bet that most people who have been tested positive had the same attitude and got caught by surprise.

The reasoning of some people here is astonishing. Feeling lonely really is not a valid reason to put people in danger.

Lockdowns don't work. They just make poor people poorer. You do realise that Level 5 restrictions has signed the death warrants of many many people. It's not that people don't care.
It's that they see the nonsense being perpetrated by our government and Nphet.
It's actually sad seeing what we have become.
I think the new wave is gathering momentum. And it's not a Covid wave!

Besides; the examples I've seen so far were Grandparents in their mid 60s, the average length of life in Ireland is 81 years

There's no excuse for kids being around Grandparents in their mid 60s under Level 5 restrictions

Nothing stopping you from living in level five for the rest of your life if you want. But please, do everyone a favor and keep your clearly substantial beak out of other people’s private lives.

I would say many people are like me. I don’t follow the rules strictly at all, but do things as sensibly as I see possibly. I still visit my parents, my other half who doesn’t live with me but close by and one other friend. I’m also in the office most days which is fully functioning now with social distancing as an essential service.

But that’s it. No meeting up with my wider friends and family, which I miss but it’s the same for everyone.

I know for a fact that we’ll never get this time back with our loved ones, so we have to enjoy our time now even with the virus. We don’t know what’s around the corner.

Absolute BS
“I don’t follow the rules strictly at all, but do things as sensibly as I see possible”
Wow, great logic there. So what you’re saying is, you know best, better than the experts. What you really mean is, these rules are not for you, nothing sensible about it.

“I know for a fact that we’ll never get this time back with our loved ones, so we have to enjoy our time now”
It’s is precisely this logic that is putting your loved ones at risk, and also delaying me seeing my loved ones.

So when you say sensible, you mean selfish right?

Funny you say that, because if you look back, you will notice that everything went downhill when restrictions were eased and schools reopened. You only seem interested in the financial effects of a lockdown, which is understandable. I'm lucky enough to have been working this entire time and I can only imagine what business owners are going through.

To see people openly breaking the rules during a global pandemic is a reasonable source of anger.
To see people reaching a whole new level of selfishness and stupidity is infuriating

It's not really the rules are crazy. You can live outside them and still not be a threat to the at risk or your friends. The rules are there as the Government don't trust people to have common sense.
