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.

Flood of cash, from where? At least 40% unemployment by the end of this. There will be no money, no jobs, no private businesse, no tax take to pay the HSE dealing with this. It's over. Think end of WW1, hyper inflation, blaming and war.

Gardens all across Ireland will be immaculate for the next few weeks.

People are either thick or trolling. Difficult to know which.

Do you know what else might be part of their health routine? NOT catching this.

Yes, but some may consider that exercise might assist in boosting their immune system, an important thing with regards to CV.

Just to remind everyone of what Leo said- The 2km thing is only for exercise. You can go further to shop for food, doctor etc!!!!

This deserves a repost.

This is only getting started, lets hope it is not as bad as it still looks like being.

Praising the government at the moment is like thinking the bank guarantee was good when announced.
The reality most likely when this is all over will be that many governments including our own will have reacted too late.
Governments allowed it to get out of control including our own. This is not something to praise, when they are now trying to put out a fire they helped create through initial inaction.

That 2km is for exercise, you'll be good on the food run.

I have posted this 3 times already.

2KM radius in only for exercise. You can go outside that for essential needs like food, medicines, doctor etc.

_Kaiser_ · 27-03-2020 10:20PM

So I missed the briefing and the news sites are not exactly clear.

Is this a garda/army enforced lockdown with checkpoints and actual restrictions, or just stronger recommendations?

Given the list of "essential' businesses during the week was still pretty long, has this been redefined? Like is a standard office now closed?

He said two distinct things: Shops and exercise.

So NO ONE is to go to work now unless it's for essential public work and public transport is only for essential public workers?

Is that correct?

I didn't get that from the speech at all, although others seem to have.
I think it's a case of business as usual at offices, factories and building sites, but no leisure drives or long walks outside.

Can I ask how they are going to enforce this?

They are letting criminals out of jail when they should be locked up still. More than 200 of them.

It’s not like you’ll be put in jail anyway.

Just don’t be a dick and they won’t need to ‘enforce it’
Just do it

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.

Unfortunately they cannot consult with every citizen before making the restrictions.

Triangle · 27-03-2020 10:21PM

Does anyone know where they post the list of essential services?

Yeah, it's been like Picadilly Circus in the forest park beside me this last couple of weeks. Normally you might see 1 or 2 an evening.

In fairness some of it is because gyms have been shut and near me a few spots for walking have closed so people are restricted where they can go.

On the 2k radius, does that mean I can go for a walk for 2k from my home and then 2k back to my home? Or 1K out and 1K back?

Specifically said 2k radius

I'm guessing the NCT centers will be closed?? I've a test at 4pm Monday!

cj maxx · 27-03-2020 10:21PM

I'm at a loss to what the figures ( dead ,+,ICU ) actually mean. Are we on better, worse or the same as Spain and Italy?
