    If no one is supposed to be going out then why will buses be running?

    Who said no one is supposed to be out?

    The public transport is restricted to essential workers only.

    Where does it say one person at a time? Not disputing, just didn't see that and I ned the details for a few neighbours. Thanks.
    I thought Leo said exercise was one person at a time, not sure about shopping. Nothing on gov.ie about it yet, though it's coming into force in 45 minutes.

    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.

    Run 2km out then 2km back . 2km the other way and 2km back ,still within the guidelines .

    Can someone explain to me what exactly this “lockdown” means?

    What happens if we go out? I need to run an important errand tomorrow - are the guards going to stop me?


    If no one is supposed to be going out then why will buses be running?

    Why is it so hard for people to do just do what they are told?

    Bus are only running for those who need them to get to essential service work - like nurses/doctors and all the rest. They are not for joe soap to take a wander into town for a look around.

    You'd swear that the government are asking to say goodbye to your loves ones, because they are sending you out to fight ISIS...

    All anyone is asking is for you stay at home...

    the vast majority of people are adhering to social distancing

    this new directive had to be brought in for the fcukwits that just dont listen or give a sh1t

    If everyone just stayed in for a few weeks this would be over

    But no, a few sh1theads just cant do it

    If it’s only for 2 weeks thats fine but they didn’t guarantee that

    46 doctors have died to date in Italy (4 additional today). 6414 health workers have tested positive.
    This is meaningless without knowing how many doctors died in total and how it compares to the historical data. 1700 Italians die every day, some of those are inevitably going to be doctors. They have 4.2 doctors per 1,000 population.

    It's going to the same as normal after a day or two. Alot of people are not going to comply with these restrictions judging by the actions last weekend and some of the parks today also...

    No it’s not , because the Gardaí now have specific powers and a well defined set of limits. ( fir example husband and wife in car , Nono, where do you live , there a supermarket over there , good evening can yiu show me proof of your address , you are 8km away from home , two or more people together and clearly am adult and kids , nono , etc)
    These new rules are clearly designed to be enforced and enforceable

    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


    A vaccine is the only game in town, protecting the vulnerable until that arrives is the strategy.

    Maybe a better definition was required.

    Such as 'principle permanent residence'.

    As long as they self isolate, yes.

    Don't expect anything from life, just be grateful to be alive.

    We all know it won't be two weeks. They can't be telling us the whole story it's about preventing panic.

    I hope you are right but I don't think it will be enforced properly

    It is pointless explain that to these people. These mouth-breathers can't see beyond "planes in sky still flying" and assume that they're packed full of infected foreign tourists. Just not true at this point. 99% of passengers on these flights are returning Irish and I would not want to leave them stranded at this time. And as you said, these flights are mostly empty.

    I love Dr. Motherway

    Reminds me of the old 'Take no schitt' type matron .
    Her line 'You don't want to see me'( i.e. in ICU) had great impact.

    This comic fantasy is the story of some elderly folks who encounter aliens when they find a swimming pool filled with large pods that possess the power to restore youth and vitality. Now they have to choose between eternal life or the acceptance of their own impending death.

    If the holiday home is more than 2KM from where you are now then it is.
