No, we can run, it is advised by the medics

The 'list' they keep going on about, where is it?
I've been trying to find out factual information around asthmatics and if they are considered high risk as family member has it pretty bad

Most have already, near me anyway. My fear is a lot of small shops will close, as customers dwindle.

There are still many open near me. Surely if people are only allowed outside for essential services, they should close the coffeeshops, no?

It's till midnight? My family have a place in West Cork it's okay to head there tonight so I presume? Better to be in lockdown by a beach rather in the city I think. Thank goodness I didn't have a glass of wine this evening

The key word is asked. Unless you are really acting the maggot the guards won't bother you.

the cure shouldn't be worse than the disease.

the economy will pick up again. there is so much money sitting in peoples savings accounts in this country...nobody can spend a cent at the moment as everything is closed, so once the restrictions are lifted, there'll be a flood of cash flowing again...and it'll probably be the middle of summer too, so more diy, barbeques and probably increased sales of alcohol as everybody will have an end-of-pandemic party.

Would we be allowed to shop in a larger supermarket in town or do we have to remain local and shop in a small local shop?

I think you can justify doing a shop that will cost you less. Local shops will not have all you need anyway.

No, they're like Brexit voters and Trumpists, who won and are still moaning. They wont be happy till the world is burned down.

I work in a medical device factory, do you think that will be classed as essential or will it be shut on Monday?

Am 95% certain medical device and pharma will remain open. Heart attacks, strokes, dialysis etc is not stopping. Most of these have no more than 8 to 12 weeks supply in the market so shutting them down would cause massive problems worldwide in the coming months. And the Medtronics and Other suppling much needed vents and other supplies will need to be busier than ever

The 2km thing is to stop muppets crowding each other.

The most serious measure is over 70s have to stay in.

That is a tough one to take.

Are all food suppliers who supply shops now shut for two weeks?

it's actually a really good point.

my mother was telling me about TB back in the day. thousands dying all over the place. it sucked but people got on with stuff.

It’s not a good point at all, it’s quite stupidity suggest social media has any role in what countries like China, Russia or any other country are doing. It’s just stupid because china in particular were the first to completely shut down and they don’t care much about social media.

If people just “get on with it” , millions of people will die. You don’t write off millions of people because it’s an inconvenience. We can afford to take these measures.

People keep talking about the economy with absolutely no idea what they are talking about. These measures are to buy us time to manage the crisis and to find a cure. The economy will have a blip and recover like it always does and always has, its hyperbolic waffle to suggest otherwise without even some sort of example that shows us how a few months of disruption will end up... worst scenario in my view is basically a lower standard of living. Maybe not as many holidays or cars, but not poverty.....

Great idea. Let everybody get sick at once so the health system is completely shut down.

This 2km thing is a load of codswallop. I've been driving out to the middle of nowhere to walk my dogs where there is nobody else. If I walk them within 2km of my house I can't avoid people.

No. They are an essential service provider.

These ‘extra’ restrictions are absolutely futile. Once you start making exceptions to the stay-at-home rule the thing falls apart. It only takes one person in any household to go out shopping or to work or for any other reason and they bring the virus back with them.
All these measures are just window dressing. The horse has bolted long ago. All efforts should be concentrated on devising ways to protect the at-risk groups. The rest of us can just take our chances.

So ban the shopping then. FFS. You people are crazed. You want everybody to starve at home in locked down rooms policed by the gestapo in order to free up ICU beds which wont be needed as we all starve at home.

A lockdown that stops people from going to most work, to within 2KM of their house, stops people visiting their family is hardly "window dressing".

I mean this is nearly Wuhan levels of control, and thats a strong authoritarian communist country. I agree with it, but its not nothing.

You are allowed out for takeaway food as far as I understand. So coffee shops call into that category. All the ones I know have a queueing system outside and a table at the door to place your order. Seems perfectly reasonable

2km in this rural area is very restrictive. I know we can do the weekly shopping but simple things for older people, like a daily newspaper, requires 5km or more to the local shop.

I's say for shopping and essential it's ok the 2km rule is for going for your walk more than likely

2km is tough on people in rural areas.

We can thank the clowns queueing for chips in howth last weekend and their ilk for the increased restrictions.
