Yeah sure we should let it run its courses and have 900 people dying every day. Be grand.

Tell me where the trolley crisis is now that every hypochondriac prick isn’t clogging our AES up with their medical cards? Tell me about the genuine homeless - not those sitting in hotels waiting for a free house because that isn’t homelessness? Big changes coming after this I hope when we wake up and realise what a cohort of spoofing vermin pervade our society and essential functions

You have a terrible view on people. It makes me uncomfortable. Your generalising groups in lower socioeconomic class. My partner works in as a nurse on the front line. The trolly crisis isn't caused by hypochondriacs maybe there are some in A&E but they tend not to get to trolleys. I know 3 families that live in Hotel Rooms. Two out of 3 of those have both partners working (minimum wage jobs) but have had landlords kick them out to Jack up the rent. They are not waiting for a free house they are waiting for an affordable house. Even that you describe people as vermin makes me shiver. You are a dispicable person.

This is a decent breakdown of cases up until 25th March.
Have to say I am surprised at the amount of people in those young and fairly young age brackets that have been hospitalized.
27% 44 and under

So how do people feel this will impact our weeks/months ahead?

When do you think we will now peak, how will we peak and will it be our only peak?

The US are done for thanks to the orange retard. The best thing they can do is hope it takes him at some stage and someone with a shred of logic in their head takes over. If not, well god bless America because coronavirus certainly ****ing will.

Their work status is irrelevant.

Making exceptions renders the whole thing meaningless.

Can somebody explain if & why a drive would be against current guidelines?

I.e. getting in the car at the house, driving and not leaving the car until returning home.

It's not going to do any harm if you stay alone in your metal box...but obviously if they do try and police these rules you are actually breaking them.

If you "imagine" some policemen or soldiers enforcing this ala China (or as is beginning to happen in parts of Europe now too) it's not really going to wash saying "oh look I am 20 km away from my house and have no reason to be but I was bored & just went for a spin see"...

Would be grand, until you'd crash,breakdown e.t.c hence needing assistance from someone to get you home.

Plus more visits to petrol stations more contact with people, surfaces etc.

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.

Nobody would have anticipated a month ago what we have got used to in the last week. So, if it comes to it (and hopefully it doesn't) we could do what they are doing in France and Spain. Anyone who goes outdoors has to bring id and a piece of paper declaring where they are going and why. The police collect the forms and they could in theory be used to prosecute people afterwards.

No steps are too far to save lives, nobody will care about their inconvenience in a few weeks but death is permanent.

I challenge you to try contradict my point instead.

Isnt 2km enough to have enough exercise to keep you right in the short term. At the same time if you live in the back of beyond how do you get shopping and such. Or is there exception for that

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.

From one runner to another runner I hope you get a good belt of the baton for going outside 2km.

Listen and adhere to the advice you entitled ignoramus.

Hi Topper75

it was not my favorite experience but not the end of the world, I have put up with much worse.
I'm not angry about spending the time in isolation, i have internet, tv and other things it's not fun but it's not that hard.
no one is asking me to clime over the trenches to charge the guns. I did it to protect the people i love from becoming sick from me. but if i follow the same logic of others why would i not have gone for a walk with a mask on and stay 2m away, I should not get anyone else sick right.

I would agree that the risk from running is very low, but who getting to deiced what the risks are?
what if Jonny over the way deiced that holding a party is low risk or lets all go down to the holiday home whats the risk.

if everyone gets to pick what they think is the risk why do we have speed limits on motorways and fines for going over it?

Nobody can say with any certainty I expect is the realistic reply to your question. The main concern has to be to minimise fatalities and illness. Economically this is catastrophic but lives have to trump anything else.

Better off not staying at home if that's the logic you're going to use considering the amount of accidents and deaths that occur in the home.

How will it be over though? This virus doesn't just disappear.

Once restrictions are eased, do you think the virus will complement us on our measures and be on its way?

Please let us all know where you intend on running. I will be happy to show you first hand the frustration of isolation and help you understand the current seriousness of it with a little personal abuse.

I agree with this, it's why I'm worried about inflation in the long run from the massive money printing because of the fallout from this. What's the alternative though?

Good question and I don’t have a great answer. But I deeply believe MMT is just a way to kick the can down the road and make the problem even bigger. At some point we’ll have to go through a lot of pain and probably a reset in the financial system.

And they they still won't listen. I honestly don't think these new measures will change them whatsoever.
