The level of spoil entitlement from some people is unbelievable
I have spend the last two weeks locked in the same room, today was the first time outside in nearly 13 day and where did i get to go?
I had the fun of driving to a test center to be met by people in hazmat suits to stick a swab so far up my noise it felt like they were checking the inside of my brain.
now i have at least 3-5 days to find out if i have it. so other 5 days minimum stuck in the same room not able to talk to anyone face to face for two weeks.
I believe i'm nearly over what ever i had but have to wait till 5 days minimum from the last symptoms if it is covid19 so that's probable going to be 7 day at least.

Your country is asking to to not risk making yourself or other sick and all you can think about is not having to change you run!!!

I'm sorry you ended up with that nasty experience through no fault of your own but you just sound angry. A runner keeping their distance didn't give you anything regardless of how far they ran. People should always question what they are told to do and why they are told to do it, especially when the given 'why' is vague or non-existant.
I WON'T be complying with the 2km thing unless somebody can rationally explain how it increases the risk of me spreading the virus. I don't fear any police action in Ireland for obvious reasons.
It's a personal thing for which I carry full responsibility, as with all my decisions and actions.

I reckon it would be.

Panic buying tonight at the local supermarket.

Some people had food falling out of their trolleys. They are obviously buying enough for 2 weeks.

Heartbreaking to see what's happening in Spain and Italy.

We probably will have 500 icu beds at best. 250 of those are full normally by other illnesses.

So that leaves about 250 for covid19. They could be full in 2 weeks time.

Very badly run all this given the list of non essential/essential jobs will not be published tonight, despite the new restrictions starting at midnight..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.

Irish government: From midnight tonight no leaving home except to travel to and from work for the purposes of work only where the work is an essential health, social care or other essential service that cannot be done from home.
Irish people: what are other essential services?
Irish government: we'll tell you tomorrow.
Irish people: :rolleyes:

Absolutely. At least the economic fundamentals are sound. Lots of pent up demand, despite the unemployment. There could be a huge boom when the demand is released.

For now, borrow, print.

Yeah. Or at least governments will concentrate on making sure the regular guy on the street is looked after.

I mentioned this the other day but people should take the time to listen to David McWilliams podcast the other night. It's inspiring stuff. I know this is a horrible time but a lot of good will eventually come from this. These events are like big reset buttons, everything changes afterwards. It's like WW2 happened and a continent that had almost continuous wars going back through history devised a system that brought relative peace and prosperity for decades now.
I think this will be seen as the time that governments realise that people will no longer accept crap social systems and healthcare and government services. The government will be forced to look after its citizens.

If it's being spread within 2m of other people then we can be fairly sure it's being spread in offices and canteens more than beaches.

Yes I take your point but in busy areas last week there was no way people could be two metres of each other. So we don't know how many this is being spread to in queues for chips that people were in.

Working is more essential then going to the beach.

On average, those that are admitted to ICU will be there for 14 days, unless they die. Obviously there will be more admissions that leavers

You'll have plenty of people wanting to stock up now for two weeks to avoid the hassle of being stopped and so on if they are out and about.

In some ways, that will actually suit the Government if those people end up saying indoors for the two weeks.

In reality, the chances of being stopped are fairly slim and there are no enforcement provisions associated with this.

Mervyn Skidmore · 27-03-2020 10:20PM

Could a government be formed on the condition that there will be another general election after this crisis? Surely the parties could agree to this.

Going by this factories and building sites will continue to operate as normal

Gov.ie back up:

The Taoiseach, Leo Varadkar, and Minister for Health, Simon Harris, have issued strict guidelines for people to stay at home from midnight tonight (Friday).

The rules are to STAY AT HOME. The only times you can leave are:

-to travel to or from work if you are providing an essential service
to shop for food
-to collect medical prescriptions and medical supplies and attend medical appointments
-to carry out vital services like caring (including family carers)
-for brief individual exercise - within 2 kilometres of your house. (You can bring children but must keep 2 metres away from others for social distancing)
-for farming purposes

You should not hold any private or public functions and this includes family functions for family who don't live in the same house.

All community centres will close. All public transport will be restricted to those carrying out essential travel for the reasons outlined above.

All non-essential businesses will close.

Shielding or coccooning of older and vulnerable people will come into place where they should not leave the house and arrange for others check on them and to bring shopping and medicines.

Except for the reasons above; you should not travel more than 2 kilometres from your home.

I enjoyed the Terminator quote.

More seriously, I think they've done well to cast this all in the light of a united, heroic defiance rather than something more paternalistic - setting the tone with "Together, we can save many lives" early on was a very canny foot to start out on, and maintaining it is wise.

Re the economy, the ECB need to fire up the printing presses and issue money to every family in the EU.

People won't accept austerity after this.

MMT and helicopter money is a fairly tail.
Money only has value comparatively to what others have - so giving the same thing to everyone eventually is the same as not giving anything to anyone.
It will feel good at first, but eventually it will just create massive inflation in housing costs and the price of essential consumer goods, while destroying trust in the currency.
