    There’s gonna have to be massive public debt write offs for country’s. Maybe do what Germany done after ww2 introduce a new currency and forget about all the debt the eurozone is taking on paying for this **** storm.

    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 **** in and getting the "red" scare over airports and runners. Headcases.

    +1

    People out running is not a problem.

    If anything, it is a necessity for mental health for some people. And to relieve stress.

    Not everyone is lucky enough to have an exercise bike or something like that in their home.

    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.
    You can still go on a run just do laps. Radius of your house.

    Runners do come quite near to you in some cases and not all are distancing.

    Hospital sounds essential to me but check with them.

    Once the rain comes that's the challenge.

    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.

    It won’t cause you congestion if you stay the f at home

    Basically Wuhan restrictions. Probably about time.

    When people are not allowed out at all, army brings groceries to your home, roads, bridges are blocked and people not complying with no leave house order are physically bolted into their house then we will be Wuhan

    Yeah thankfully (bad thing to say) this crisis unlike the 2008 banking crisis is effecting Germany, so the ECB will eventually start printing money for government to use to pay down this debt.

    It's parsnts bringing the kids out as a mob and younger people meeting their friends in groups that are the cause. Treating it like holidays.

    Very badly run all this given the list of non essential/essential jobs will not be published tonight, despite the new restrictions starting at midnight..
    It makes it all seem rushed, done in a panic.

    Remember those in each of your areas who do not comply with restrictions. They are not helping society.

    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.

    This is the worst advice I've ever seen on Boards.

    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.
    Do you realise that these restrictions potentially go on for at least 18 months?

    This will not end in weeks. These restrictions are for months.

    There is no "normal" any more. We may possibly have a vaccine. Or we have to live with this thing forever.

    We can't all hide inside our houses for the rest of our lives. It won't be long before people start saying "screw it" and take their chances.

    Maybe we can ask the virus to hold off spreading for a year so they can make more suitable plans.

    Perhaps that would better suit?

    It's not one rule for one and one for another. I've been indoors for the past week and had plans to go out and exercise tomorrow but that won't be happening now. Everyone just needs to cop on, listen to the advice and realise that we're all in this together.
