    I expect this thread to go significantly quieter now.

    There is no real change to my life for the last 2 weeks out of this announcement. We were barely going anywhere anyway.:rolleyes:

    Why did they wait until now? Ridiculous

    Because after seeing what people did in the supermarkets (almost looting, considering that there were reports of people leaving the shops without paying with their trolleys full) they were afraid of riots.

    They should have done this last week.
    Things are getting worse so it is reactive.

    Feel it's right.

    It's next level from where we are.

    We can all do this.

    So much being done so right by this leaving government.

    People don’t seem to grasp how important these briefings are and how well organized our authorities have looked. They have excelled at communication.

    I know this is going to get really bad but am convinced that however bad it gets it could of been a lot worse. Few country’s gets everything right, even less have been prepared or acted as quickly as I feel our government/authorities have handled this. This includes making changes as things change.

    Serious question.

    Have to bring the dog to the vets next Friday to have 30 stitches removed from an injury.

    Vets is about 4km away from the house.

    Can I do it (assuming the vet is open)?

    I can't see why not.
    My GP is about 10km away. I had a child with a 39.9deg temperature today and I needed a prescription, after a phone consultation, with the GP. Doctor doesn't do emailing scrips. As far as I am concerned, I will be going to my GPs office if it is needed.

    Right now this is about as bad as it gets, as far as I am concerned. The only thing they can now say is absolutely no walks, and to be honest, in what they have done, I doubt they will do that. IT is very interesting that they are doing this until April 12th - and not April 19th, which was the date given the other night for the last set of restrictions. The whole thing is extremely methodical, and I wouldn't be in the least bit surprised if they are following very specific "tipping points" in the numbers, when making the decisions. They do seem to have an exact timeline in their heads based on specific increases in numbers.

    I cannot fault them so far, they are doing a very good job (much as I am incredibly angry about the whole thing).

    He's been excellent since all this started. He's under severe pressure and has aquitted himself very well indeed.

    Hopefully this is enforced and the Gardai are given whatever powers they need to enforce it. Massive fines for people breaking rules would have been nice.
