    If they do they'll be frozen in a bitter east wind. They next few days aren't going to be beach days.

    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.

    Bit slow at the 'containment' but maybe that was deliberate? Letting people return and infect others. But otherwise, putting on a solid face. Anyone criticising Harris is just a vacuous fool at this point.

    Without an economy, once this crisis is over we could be left with a health system that's unable to fund even the mundane stuff that we take for granted.

    the cure shouldn't be worse than the disease.

    But he has handled this very well.
    The stress must be immense plus he has Crohns.

    My folks are watching this from north and think they are all brilliant compared to info they are getting from politicians up there.

    The government needs to quarantine Cork for the good of the nation.

    I'd also like to see some action taken on this whole virus situation.

    No people at the beaches.
    And yet, no prob having people in non essential offices, building sites, canteens, etc.
    It's all just for show.

    Yeah it’s a double edged sword.

    Beating this virus is a light warm up for the battle we will face!

    Have I got this right...

    Two people cannot go for a walk together?
    Even if they live in the same house?

    What about a 6 mile run? Are you expecting stay within 2km of your house during a run?
    Run 1k then do a circle and the 1k back. 1k + 2xPixR(1) + 1k = 8.2k = 5.17 miles.

    So breaking the 2km/groups can be detained and fined.

    I doubt there has been one case of infection passed on or received from people running.

    Of course it was deliberate. This level of containment won’t hold for more than 2 or 3 weeks and so it has to be timed properly. The medics think that this is peak transmission time. Is that had been brought in 2 weeks ago like so many people on here wanted, it would be close to falling apart

    It's not a lockdown, people will still go out, fines won't be payed, stations will be full in a day if guards start detaining people.

    just call it a lockdown leo and avoid confusion with the population by saying you are reluctant to call it a lockdown

    It can't be policed but that's not the point. You're meant to be a responsible citizen and follow the instructions.

    There won't be a stick, but it's in citizens, not government's hands to slow this.

    If our health service cannot cope, it's on US. Not Varadkar, Not Harris, not anyone else.
    Utter sense!
