    What's your problem with somebody going out for a jog

    It’s perfectly easy to go for a jog and maintain distancing, I’ve done so every day since this started and will continue to do so. The maintenance of our physical and mental health is being encouraged by the medic.. People that push past others whilst out for a run are just ***holes, like all those crowding the Wicklow Mountains at the weekend. It’s nothing to do with them being joggers.....it’s everything to do with them being p**cks

    Apologies if this is the wrong thread for this. I'm hoping to make the mortgage payment in April and with a bit of luck, May too. Both my wife and I are likely to be out of employment soon. (Wife already is). Can I still apply for the mortgage moratorium in June or does it have to be applied for sooner than that to avail of the full three months?

    Not many of the private hospitals have facilities for some acute conditions, cardiac emergency, cancer care, etc. Its going to be a square peg/round hole dilemma for planners and managers.

    Really as I can tell you my Mam got the best care in The Galway Clinic when she went through her cancer

    If the offies don't stay open it's going to put a lot more pressure on the supermarkets.

    People aren't going to give up drinking.

    Take it back to a dedicated thread. I'm sure other posters will be delighted to see a FG loyalist carpet bombing coronavirus threads with nothing short of propaganda.

    As I said, irony is lost on you.

    Anyway we'll move on.

    That’s true, I was out walking yesterday, people were walking in twos and three abreast, wouldn’t even move into a single file when being approached. I had to go into the grass to keep my distance.

    Also saw a jogger spitting yesterday on public walk way.

    Its an upside down version of 'democracy' whereby those that loose election keep their seats and then partake in important decision making that so dramatically effects people's lives.

    In fact, there is a vast democratic deficit occurring in Ireland just now.
    See my post above about our Constitution!

    I went for a walk in the local woods. Car park not too busy. It was really noticeable that people were being careful in keeping their distances.

    I think that they're covered by the first item on the list.

    1. Retail and wholesale sale of food, beverages and newspapers in non-specialised and specialised stores.

    Maybe it's me but I just want to lock myself up and have no interactions with people at all. I don't even want to walk past them on the footpath.

    Can you refrain from trying to turn yet another thread into a FG party political broadcast?


    Not the time nor the place.

    You're the one turned it into a political debate. But, you're right this is not the time nor place for it.

    No Trump banned travel from China in JANUARY.
    Also the Chinese communist party surpressed vital information for 6 weeks and locked up dissenters trying to spread information. So stop the CCP propaganda ok

    Lol,is the "CCP propaganda" now the theme of crazed Trump supporters? Its the mirror image of the anti-Russian propaganda of the crazed American left. I am beginning to think the problem is the US hating the entire world.

    The Chinese informed the WHO in Dec 31st. This is a press release from the WHO on Jan 5th. They clearly didnt know about it for 6 weeks by then, in fact the first case was less than a month before.

    https://www.who.int/csr/don/05-january-2020-pneumonia-of-unkown-cause-china/en/

    There clearly wasn't much of a cover up in China. The US president denied this was anything more than a flu for months and refused to take action, except the chinese travel ban ( which was more of a hatred of China than anything else). That's on him.

    Not that I care either way about the US, but this cretin tried to blame the virus on Europe as well as China, and tried to steal German IP.

    I'll imagine if they close the offies, they may also stop selling alcohol at the supermarkets.

    Saying that, I better get ready to go to Aldi.
