    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.

    Im sure he realises that, since he supported helicopter money. This is what he called the people's QE but it isnt literally QE.

    Just you and yours, yes? Everyone else staying at home?
    That would be fine. Of course!

    Go and have a chat with yourself, will you?

    Well the majority of the replies seem to think that going for a drive would be completely out of question due to a breakdown / crash.

    While I personally see it as a lower risk than walking in my local park or going to the busy supermarket, I wanted to gauge the opinions on here.

    The perfectly healthy with no underlying conditions death count is starting to grow
    I wonder if this is accurate. I think a better description may be
    "The healthy with no known underlying conditions"

    A lot of people have conditions that simply do not present in a way that causes concern. That may be heart, or perhaps lung conditions. It's not likely that many postmortems are being carried out in places where this virus has taken hold

    I like a run and have been running up until today on open wide spaces with not too many people.

    But I'll take one for the team and try YouTube workouts for 2 weeks anyway. Literally need to stay at home as much as possible given the severity.

    I suppose being out just encourages others to be out. Can't do a whole lot of running in 2 km anyway.

    Fair play to you. I could probably do 2km if it was spread over a few weeks

    What about security? Seems like that should be essential on a lockdown, if only for emergancies.

    I corrected. Careless phrasing on my part. Omg.

    I fully understand your anger at him. I know my own father probably wont speak to me for months after I took his weeks.

    With freedom comes the duty of and weight of responsibility, something that was ignored this night last week.

    These are temporary restrictions in face of an extraordinary peril to the lives of so many of our fellow citizens. I fully support them having seen the childish behavior of some in this country in the last week.

    Are they temporary? We were told the res resisting first implemented would end on March 29th

    So if someone jumps on a bus will the bus driver ask them are they working in essential services.

    What reason do you have to suspect they are permanent?

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,512 ✭✭✭harr


    I know full list not out but surely petrol stations / home heating oil would be classed as essential. Plenty of front line staff still need to drive to and from work.

    This move can only be welcomed. Far too late though.

    yes, they will then have to take a polygraph test to prove it.

    Removed the post now but this is what he did have listed

    - Health Care Workers and Social Carers.
    - Food and medicine providers.
    - Public service / civil service.
    - Utilities.
    - Transport (Lorry drivers, hauliers, bus/train)
    - Journalists.
    I don’t think this list can be final. Construction is ongoing on a number of medical facilities which then opens up a huge number of workers and suppliers

    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.

    You can see why it's needed because people were not obeying social distancing recently.

    And soon we will be completely locked in our houses because people can't follow these rules.

    Because people are stupid

    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.

    Revisit your definition of personal abuse. You’ve led a sheltered existence if you deem what I’ve levelled at you as personal abuse.

    I wouldn’t dream of trying to contradict your point because when you already know everything you can learn nothing.

    Keep on trucking with your abstinence from national effort. It’s one thing to disagree with something, it’s quite another to fly in the face of advice from people who absolutely, categorically do know better than you, all in the name of not inconveniencing yourself.

    So brave.

    Just got an email saying we are staying open. Medical device company but more cosmetic. Massive employer though.

    Medical devices probably essential services too.

    The reason a 2KM limit is attracting criticism is because it's transparently a figure picked from thin air, merely because a figure had to be given.

    They never said they would end in March , merely that they would be reviewed by the end of March , and they have

    That's a short list but there are a lot more businesses that are deemed essential that many may not think of. Supply chains for some manufacturing companies can be quite large and include lots of small companies providing parts or services.

    I personally know of a few which I was surprised to hear were given the essential status.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,324 ✭✭✭JustAThought


    I’ve no TV - maybe someone could assist - have gone back to page 310 of this thread and no specific or link. Of course on the gov.ir Covid 19 page there has been no update since March 24th.

    Maybe someone could tell me, please.

    Are we not allowed out now without a permit or something?

    I find it strange that the goverment did not contact BOARDS.IE and get the brains that are posting on the CoVid19 thread to sort out this problem, reading all these threads and a I am amazed at the amount of expert geniuses that have come together in this site, they would put the geniuses of the history of the world to shame,
    Well actually...

    I have been asked to try and spot some knowledgeable posters but have just drawn blanks so far:(

    Still, there's always some hope and if I can't find anyone I could well die trying
