    I agree. A month at the outside, then we will have to start getting back to normal, albeit with some social distancing

    How do you propose to run retail, restaurants and pubs, to any degree of profit to keep them viable, with social distancing.

    Some of my staff were texting me during Leo's speech asking if they are due in on Monday. F**k sake, he didn't run it by me first.

    There will come a certain point where the effects of people not being able to work and businesses being shut down will be worse than the virus itself and could result in far more deaths. I'm not sure why people are finding that so hard to understand.

    These "lockdowns" cant go on indefinitely, otherwise the whole world is ****ed. At some point most of us will have to accept the risk and try to shield the most vulnerable as much as possible.

    It's been what, two weeks for the majority of us at this point? And now we've been asked to give it all for another two weeks and let's see where we're at then.

    Fines for anyone who breaks restrictions. Only way.

    Could we maybe stop with the triumphalism about blocking people going on long runs or cycles? Just because there are some people who try to better themselves and stay fit which maybe you don't, doesn't mean you can celebrate when they are blocked. The chances of a runner or a cyclist giving you covid while you hide inside your house is pretty minimal.

    These restrictions are to try and stop the idiots meeting up to play football in parks, not stop people from going for a long run. Unfortunately the people in the latter group will be collateral damage, and it's going to be a sad time for them.

    The stricter the lockdown the sooner we get out of it the other end, the sooner things can go back to relative normality. Other countries were only starting to do this when **** really with the fan.

    Can people not leave their f*cking running for two weeks and show more concern to the people who are dying of this sh*t?

    Why the **** are people getting so caught up the red herring of people out exercising? How is it any different than those out walking?

    Everyone needs to cop the **** on with getting the "red" scare over airports and runners. Headcases.

    Cycles of lockdown then temporary reprieve? It's like a trap. If we release, we're screwed. If we choke society, economy dies.

    A proper wage and security of contract would be better than a patronising tv programme.

    The start was like a Soviet May Day parade

    This is my point. If it's just another round of recommendations it's meaningless. Those who have been ignoring already will continue to do so unless there's actual real restrictions.

    Fines ... That is about the only thing that works with people. Nasty heavy fines

    how about just obeying the instructions from our elected government

    Would that be the one which wasn't elected? Leo barely won his seat and Regina actually lost hers. It's an unelected junta.

    If you work in a non medical role in a hospital, do you have to continue to go to work or stay home?

    The bit about exercising only 2km from home is disappointing - the last few days, the kids and I have driven into east Clare and walked in woodlands - nothing scenic, but the point is that they're deserted.

    If people in urban areas obey the 2km restriction, it will actually cause a bit of congregation.

    I suppose it's to stop people from using exercise as an excuse to go wherever they want....but realistically, who's going to be stopping and asking people.

    Drastic measures for drastic times.

    Exercise = 2km loop around the block or use one of these in the back garden
