    And then a second wave. And another after that. We need a credible description from the government of what their exit strategy is here, or we'll be at this for years. Sweden and the Netherlands have gone down a very different route - I'm not saying it's right, but there are options other than locking us all inside for the next few years.

    I agree , I see no exit strategy to this current methodology , I wasn’t a fan of the herd immunity , but right now this current approach merely leaves large segments of the population with no exposure to the Virus , that’s not a solution

    Ordinary people will not foot the bill for this. Not another decade of austerity and services stripped bare. The wealthy elites will pay for this, anything else will result in revolution.

    100% there is no way possible they could put this on ordinary folk.

    The elite will pay for this downturn the banks included we wont forget how the banks treated decent people in this country now its their turn to foot the bill that all began from them.

    Do factories close?

    Do building sites close?

    My dad in his late 70s is making excuses just to go out. The bank. The mechanic. The farmers market. Hopefully he gets it now.
    He gets the seriousness you mean?
    I hope...

    My dad would have been the same. He was golfing up until courses were closed, and even heading to meet his mates for a pint, visit to paper everyday.
    He wouldn't listen to me or my mum. But I think things sunk in with him about a week ago.

    the lack of initial actions allowed pandora out of the box.

    :D Lol, Pandora was the chick who opened the box and thus let all the evil out. She herself wasn't in the box!

    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.
    Simply done.

    ((normal run in km/2km) X (risk of spreading the virus*)) is the increased risk you are generating.

    * a value unknown to and unknowable by you.

    So your selfish 10k run incurs five times the risk of a 2k run.

    Family member died overnight. Had been having breathing difficulties. Will be waiting a few days for results. Had pre-existing conditions. It's getting real, I won't be seeing a lot of people for a decent amount of time now.

    Sorry to hear that, all the best.

    Any QE has to go directly to the people this time.

    QE consists of central banks buying securities and creating corresponding liabilities on their balance sheets. It doesn’t apply to individuals.

    What you have in mind must be something else which isn’t QE.

    I think you are missing context and what he meant, the OP was responding to someone saying there elderly relative didn't understand the seriousness of the situation but it had finally sunk in.

    Clearly he hopes that his father will now get the message.

    As you said QE causes inflation in assets prices, because the printed money is injected in the financial economy. I.e. inflation is where the money is injected.

    With helicopter money, the goal is to inject money in the real economy rather than the financial economy, and thus it will cause consumer prices inflation rather than asset price inflation. That inflation will be particularly visible in constrained spendings such as essential consumer goods and rents (rents is a big one as there will be more money competing for the same constrained supply of rental properties, and more money chasing a finite and essential ressource logically leads to inflation).

    It will stop consumer price deflation. If we get to 20% unemployment then rents, and everything else will drop in price, people cant pay rents when laid off. They will eventually (post lockdown) leave the country, or go back to their parents house. Rents fell post 2008.

    The government will pay HAP anyway, which is money borrowed from the future, although that too can be monetised by the ECB.

    Even the US is doing that.

    So much mere personal abuse from you and others here.

    But if you want to try again and contradict my point, I'll be staying tuned.

    It's about social responsibility, and if they didn't put a limit on it people would be driving to beaches, parks and other attractions, do you understand it now?

    There is a better quality of posting on Askboutmoney.com. Perhaps the moderators screen out some of the backbiting which is evident here.

    That's not what he said. He meant his dad gets it as in he hopes he understands it.

    Obviously he doesn't mean he hopes his father gets the virus.

    The sooner the better. This totalitarian state is not acceptable and will achieve precisely zero.

    It's required because a peculiarly large proportion of the population in this country have to be baby fed and dragged up through life by the state - not content with that they have to make a sh!t of everything for everyone else by refusing to follow basic rules.

    That is why it is required. That is why it is needed.

    And the vast majority will have no problem with it.
