    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.

    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?

    Just stronger recommendations it seems like

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

    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.

    Maybe he likes to do jumping jacks in the bread aisle

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

    You do realise these aren't normal circumstances, right? If they ended up in hospital, do you think they'd be able to exercise then?

    No wonder the place is f*cked, the amount of people commenting here about the 2km radius. If ye watched the conference or read the tens of articles already online ye'd see it is a 2km restriction for exercise not for work or shops. People here must be exchanging brain cells for rolls of toilet roll.

    It’s actually incredible the amount of stupidity you come across. Just listen and read the articles.

    I feel like they tried to squeeze the last bit of juice into the economy before doing this unfortuantely.

    This should of been done 10 days ago.

    Run 1k then do a circle and the 1k back. 1k + 2xPixR(1) + 1k = 8.2k = 5.17 miles.
    That's really annoying though and ridiculous. How are they possibly gonna enforce it: stop people in the middle of a jog and ask them how far away they live?
    I'm all for restrictions but I wont be changing my jogging routines

    Leo has a medical background. Why no mention of wearing surgical masks? I'm no expert on this but I see doctors and nurses wearing them.

    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.

    there's billions in people's private savings in this country

    Right so.....sorry to ask.

    As regards testing. I know personally of a number of people who definitely had it but their test was cancelled. One improved thankfully but one is getting another test on Monday as still bad at home.

    What if an old/vulnerable person is in a similar situation and goes downhill quickly. Given the advice is to stay at home and call ambulance if worsens, this would potentially leave some vulnerable people at risk of dying.

    This has two net effects.
    1. number of cases is lower than actual by a significant margin
    2. number of deaths recorded could potentially be lower if no post mortem test carried out

    Are we doing post mortem tests.
