    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

    Question on cocooning. I have a 6 year old with asthma and a wife who works in a essential job. So we will have to stay ĺck in for 2 weeks will she be able to claim social welfare payment

    2KM ffs nearest shop to me is 6km away

    Last time I'm saying it :) The 2km thing is just for exercise. You can go further to shop for food.doctor etc.

    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.

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

    They are essential services.

    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

    Looks like the non attentive pass leaving people will starve ! Huzzah !


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,134 ✭✭✭caveat emptor


    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.

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

    What about the people who will be dicks though. They won’t be jailed.

    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?
    We are doing a lot lot better than both of those but we haven't hit the worst of it.

    You can walk 100 kms within a 2km radius if you like. Its just that you must stay within 2km radius of your house.

    But again they said brief exercise so dont actually do 100kms.

    TCD students....;)
    The quality of applicant just must not be there any more!
