Well if you live miles from a shop and have no car please explain how you go to the shop. Taxi's cost money. not all shops in all locations deliver. That is my point. You will have to hope people can and will assist you. Tell that to the elderly who are afraid tonight.

And how the hell have these people being surviving before Covid19?

Sorry if this has been mentioned before...but I heard Dr Holohan refer to the pandemic affecting the Western World worse (something to that effect) - I didn't get what he was alluding to. Does it mean that this particular strain of SARS is affecting western society more, as in we are more susceptible - I'm thinking about diseases of the lung (I'm in remission for Sarcoidoisis - a disease that seems to affect a certain cohort, Irish, Scandinavian, Black American etc) And I'm also thinking of other illness that Western Society would have brought to areas of the world in the past unbeknownst to themselves as they may have had a higher immunity to them. Perhaps our immunity to this is unchallenged it's not just about not having a vaccine or the spread of it?

From what I've seen on social media it seems many people were treating today as if it was the August Bank Holiday weekend.

Pure and utter stupidity and selfishness.

I don't give a **** if you've got kids, stay at home!

Those of us that are actually following the recommendations will probably end up getting punished with further measures because of the actions of these *****

Why do you care so much?

Like be honest here - why can't you just follow the rules like everyone else?

Why not respect the Garda - they have a tough job to do nowadays - with all sort of crap going on - they don't need you or anyone else trying to be smart on the roads.

Maybe read the post i responded to before your assertions.

Great. Now instead of driving to a place that I can run or walk whilst not coming within tens, even hundreds, of metres of other humans, I have to walk or run on my busy local paths where joggers and walkers are cheek by jowl. That reduces spread how exactly?

I haven't gone for a walk for a week now.

Sat in my garden and enjoyed the view and meditated ( sorry zoned out). Got the fresh air and so be it.

Get used to it, I have been practicing, it is our future for a while.

That is very long post you made considering you didn’t have the answers to my questions. Nothing better to do except bitch and moan?

Because people are dying in this country because of ASSHOLES who won't follow the advice the medial experts that's why!!!!

Or we could go for walks up to 2km from our homes?

Don't want to get political but the amount of horrible comments leo seems to get from sinn Fein voters is very strange. The man is getting advice. Acting on it I'd say the government are doing a good job. It's almost unhealthy the hate some people have for them. There is no election and there might not be one for 4-5 years. So stop pretending Mary Lou and her new elected TDs. Could possibly have the connections and and experience the current government have. Good or bad they are the best we have for these times.

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

Run 2km, do a circle around the home, then run back home

I make that over 16km, unless you then want to double it by doing it backwards. Should be brief though so needs to be fast!

People can and will assist everyone. I really hope that everyone is being remembered. I know in my local area there is a lot of help for the elderly and vulnerable, people have made contact with them before the lockdown to make them aware because the elderly may not use facebook or whatsapp.

An post will also be checking on the elderly and asking do they need food or medicine...do they have any messages to send out and systems have been put in place to relay those back to the shops/pharmacies/HSE they will also take their letters and packages and deliver them for free.

How is the irish lockdown going to be finished before other European countries in the thick of it

It won`t be. The 2 week lockdown period until 12th April will be extended before that date and for as long as necessary afterwards.

Usually I’d put it down to people being wind up merchants but I think all those questions asked this evening were genuine posts.

I'm a Sinn Fein voter, I've done nothing but praise him since this beginning of this.

Piss off bringing politics into it.

There is nothing stopping people going to get food as long as
* they do it alone
* they don’t use public transport ( which they never used if it wasn’t there in th3 first place

What’s so complex

There are huge resources being put into home delivery at present , including large numbers of voluntary bodies

Oh FFS get over it! It's two weeks! You are been asked to stay home and if you must walk within a 2km radius for a brief period of respite in the day ( a bit of air) it's two weeks - which may stop the spread of a virulent disease from killing you or someone you love - be a couch potato if you must, it's not that much to ask :mad:
