    This is an honest question...

    If this was 1990 and there was no social media... would corona virus be a mere footnote on Page 11 of a newspaper??

    Why are they not closing the f*cking airports? Shut the place down.

    Dead right, we don't need any more PPE or other daft essential equipment flown in. Socks wrapped around the faces of our medics is good enough for them and their notions.

    Jesus Christ, the stats are readily available as to how it's being passed on, have a read.

    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.

    Hope they are given a bunch of 6ft long bamboos to wack your butt if you are bold

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

    It's about control and not safety.

    Bring a trundle wheel with you

    Every single phone now will track your steps and the distance you have walked (ok, not a nokia 3210)
    But most people would have the cop on to know how far it is to the nearest landmarks around their house

    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 Irish conferences look far more adult than the clown shows that the British and in particular the US put on.

    2Km radius is only for exercise and not for other essential needs. Food, Doctor, Medicines etc. I think you can go further for these.

    walk 2km in one direction, turn around, walk 4km in the other direction, and then walk back, that's an 8 km walk, enough to knacker most dogs (and you're only passing any house twice along the way so the neighbours won't think you're taking the p1ss)

    Leo said brief exercise.

    Don’t know how the airports are staying open makes this 2 weeks pointless if passengers are still coming in. Cargo etc is fine

    Not that simple. Exercise might be part of somebody’s routine as advised by a GP, consultant etc for certain conditions (cardiovascular etc).

    How can they enforce the 2km rule?

    They can't but it doesn't matter .
    It's an arbitrary recommendation and a request. Now is the time for the Irish people to show their true calibre. Majority compliance will be a win.

    Simon Harris is a man who tries to put out fires, this is just another example.

    It is why we had a general election because the government was going to lose a vote of confidence in him.

    I dont see the other numpties stepping up to the plate.

    Runways still work when passenger travel is banned.

    The UK is riddled and we are wide open.
