If you live miles from a shop and have no car surely you have solved this problem before Covid 19 kicked in

Public transport, but now it's "restricted only to essential workers and to people providing essential services".

All the criticism of the government.

The govt jobs is to have the best experts on hand and then act on the advice from the experts.

What's the point of hiring and paying experts if your not going to listen to them.

Anybody know if coal deliveries are still aloud under this lockdown?

I think you miss my point. My run will now be on busy paths where distancing is impossible, whereas up until today it has been me in isolation. So in my specific case I am now more at risk of spreading the virus. I’m not going to not run (as I am allowed to do, despite your ‘stay at home’ protestations)

So what rule would you bring in to stop the spread of the virus?

SO, even though you've just admitted, you are more at risk of spreading virus, you still choose to run?

I sincerely hope you dont' pass any healthcare workers , maybe walking to their bus stop, on your important run.

( if I said what I really thought of selfish people like this, Id be banned from the internet, not just boards.)

Genuine question but why do you have to run? Why not just go for a walk.

Nope. I take my instructions from the government, not from you

Have you missed the odd social distancing messages they’ve been sending out? You just admitted that you wouldn’t be able to do that on your run now.

Yes. Fuel merchants are an essential service.

Sure, I wonder how that's going to be enforced.
People will print themselves fake IDs like PSA security guard licences. There's no way to verify them any way.

That is ironic.

Are you seriously suggesting that there will be no damage to economies with all of this?

There might well be no long term damage from this or there might well be a lot. The Irish government, the EU and the ECB have many tools available to them to mitigate any economic problems.

They say GDP will be down by x% for the year. It's sort of irrelevant. I'd be much more interesting in comparing GDP per quarter afterwards with GDP in the same quarters in previous years.

I have a feeling that those calling for a "full lockdown" for the last fortnight will now be the same ones saying that "they're taking our freedom away".

The lack of self-awareness is amazing! Up to a few short hours ago, there were people saying that the government were doing a great job. They were doing all they can and asking what more can they do?

Now, these same people are still saying what a great job the government are doing even though they have changed course. Do these people not have a brain of their own? Do they just follow blindly? No matter what the government say, they will agree it's the best move.

look the reality is leo and anyone else in government doesnt give a $hit about the Irish people, you would be very naive to think they do.

so if i want to go for a 4 km run i will, i wont be a prisoner in my own home.

Given that you think a camera man doing their job being given a slap by a member of the public order unit was asking for it, I hope you meet a similar type of garda while out and about.

How did you do shopping beforehand - failing to see what has changed???

In my case my OH works in a sector that is vital so is doing 14-17 hour days since the beginning of the month 7 days a week. We are a 1 car household and her hours do not coincide with supermarket opening. So, I have to try get people i don't know to get my shopping is what has changed for me and numerous others in that boat. Also we live in the middle of nowhere with no nearby neighbours.

Obviously, they should have said that these rules should apply to everyone except woody22

Whehey! · 27-03-2020 11:50PM

Was there anything about hotels or guesthouses having more restrictions ?

27-03-2020 11:51PM

Think people are been deliberately obtuse with the 2km thing. There are no measuring tapes. They’re literally asking us to just stay close to home.

And not pack out the Phoenix park, Glendalough, beaches, other parks etc.

It’s not so hard to understand.

MrMusician18 · 27-03-2020 11:51PM

Can someone tell me why this thread is being allowed to be swamped by what are clearly rereg posters and another cohort (or indeed maybe the same) of individuals that have resurrected a bunch of old dormant accounts.

They are all taking a contrarian view, pushing falsehoods and being a downright pain in the arse.

Surprised that serious cardiac illnesses are excluded from the cocooning list.

Maybe part of the same crapola as went they went on with over the aborted testing expansion.

There just aren't the resources to include all high-risk groups in 'Cocooning', it is going to be a problem to achieve it satisfactorily for the categories included.

HSE is still in talks/negotiation with local authorities to organise the voluntary sector to provide the every-day support services.

cf HSE Guidelines on Cocooning

15 minute walk sounds like it would be under the 2km limit so you should be absolutely fine. I'm guessing 20 minutes walk approx would take you outside the area (unless you normally tear along)

There is no "2km" limit, where are you getting this from? You're allowed to exercise within a 2km radius of your home. Two totally different things.

He takes his orders from the government, don't you know?

Why would he bother using something called context, when he can play the victim card instead?

So if the local Guards are gone why would you think there is going to be a problem driving to the local shop, but better yet if you are in a rural area like me, get up and do something to help your nieghbours if they need it

And now Paul, come on - you don't expect Con to get up and doing something worthwhile and positive during this outbreak do you?

There will be massive long term economic damage from this , that’s one certainty , estimates are now aporaching -7% of GDP from a + 3-5 % pervious , that’s depression terrority

No.

The main rule is to STAY AT HOME. The only times you can leave your home are:
to travel to or from work if you are providing an essential service The full list of essential services is available here.

to shop for food

to collect medical prescriptions and medical supplies and attend medical appointments

to carry out vital services like caring (including family carers)

for brief individual exercise - within 2 kilometres of your house. (You can bring children but must keep 2 metres away from others for social distancing)

for farming

You should not hold any private or public functions and this includes family functions for family who don't live in the same house.
All community centres will close. All public transport will be restricted to those carrying out essential travel for the reasons outlined above.

It's really fucking simple.
