    And if there is, the area might only have a couple of bus runs in a day.

    How would Irish hospitalised Covid-19 cases be treated? Would it be oxygen therapy? Using antiviral drugs? I read about some countries used drugs for malaria to treat it. Does Ireland have any laws that would prohibit doctors from doing this? Like using malaria drugs for Covid-19.


    I'm just wondering that's all. Like does Ireland have enough medicines like anti virals medicines?
    If doctors start using other drugs for treating Covid-19 - would there be any liability if it goes wrong - I'm thinking about the possibility of compo claims from people later on down the line.

    Is it a Cork saying?

    I get it.

    It is not particularly a Cork saying. I use it all the time. Just unfortunate to use it in the context of a discussion about a virus.

    Who said no one is supposed to be out?

    The public transport is restricted to essential workers only.

    My sister said it.

    The whole family has a tendency to exaggerate and be melodramatic so I’m never sure what is real and what is made up in their heads.

    If you live in a rural area yiu can travel as far as is neccessary to buy food and medicine, in a car, or taxi , or have it delivered

    What’s your issues, I was responding to someone who suggested they could take a bus to buy food ( which suggests they live near a bus route ! )

    I wonder if holiday homes are excluded?

    Maybe a better definition was required.

    Such as 'principle permanent residence'.

    If you can get there before midnight your sorted.

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

    Reckless from this company IMO - it is purely a cosmetic product for foreign markets.

    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

    The Minister has not signed off on the regulations. So in effect these are a request and are currently unenforceable by the Gardai . This is the right approach and?I think most people will get behind it. I would be less inclined to follow some guy in a uniform bellowing orders at me.

    If you are in a rural area, and have no transport links - but you have the internet which would clearly do - go onto the local facebook page - or local GAA page, and say that you need food, have no transport can anyone help - and you will get plenty of people helping - it's happening all over the country.

    However you may prefer to come onto a public forum and complain how every last possible thing, what if this happens, what if the taxi breaks down, what if I need my windows cleaned, etc. Dare I say there is nothing Leo could have said/done tonight that you would have been happy with.

    No, the power-that-be haven't worked it out yet.

    Suspect it's way down the list of things they haven't worked out yet.

    Most likely no one using the word knows.

    Like lockdown, backstop, etc.

    It is like the Emperor's New Clothes. Everyone goes along with the auld buzzwords

    I've been saying it the last while...

    Implement more restrictive measures when ICU capacity is being threatened. They are clearly worried by the increase in the last few days, which, if it continues as such will saturate the capacity quite quickly. Given another couple of weeks, when we know exactly where we stand with transmission rates, the restrictions may be lifted. Expect them to be imposed again if rates or ICU capacity is at a dangerous level in the future.

    An Imperial College London paper suggests that you are talking of restrictive measures more often than not in this scenario. 2/3 to 1/3 ratio measures to no measures was suggested. God knows how the education sector would function in such a scenario if schools/uni’s were called on to repeatedly close as part of it.

    Well there are cars. Everyone rurally has them. What's the problem here.

    Live rurally, your choice to spread this thing or not. Same as everywhere else.

    Personal responsibility needs to be hammered home.

    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.

    France implimented a 2km rule 7 days ago.
