Surely it must be time to panic :pac:

harr · 27-03-2020 11:02PM

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.

timhenn · 27-03-2020 11:02PM

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

No. Food production is an essential service.

Why do people have to be told this?

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.

niallo27 · 27-03-2020 11:04PM

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

Azatadine · 27-03-2020 11:04PM

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.

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.

JustAThought · 27-03-2020 11:05PM

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

Sheep Shagger · 27-03-2020 11:05PM

Not sure how to post a tweet....from Richard Chambers of VM1 on the essential workers list.

Building medical facilities is one thing, everything else is not essential

Not if people had listened instead of packing out pubs. Big queue's at MC Donald's nationwide. HOW SAD that was. Lots of fools in this country.

It’s essentially to limit Dubliners leaving the city

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.

You got your answers. Stay at HOME.

46 doctors have died to date in Italy (4 additional today). 6414 health workers have tested positive.
