    Fk off with that 'lucky to have a job' crap. The public sector is open to all, people choose not to apply. I made my career choice, your made yours and so on.

    And I too have had my hours changed and it sucks but as you say, it's the job I signed up for and it's the situation we find ourselves in. Roll up the sleeves and get to work, isolate as best I can off duty.

    Very annoying the amount of my colleagues posting, retweeting those 'we stay in work so you can stay at home' memes followed by then at the beach, park, etc and generally making no effort to isolate off duty.

    Just because we have to work doesn't mean the world becomes our post apocalypse playground

    Well I am lucky to have a job, and I am extremely disappointed in some of my colleagues attempts to get out of work in an emergency. What's wrong with that?

    Failure to do this is a crime against the Nation.

    You can't imprison the country with absolutely no explanation as to what you will achieve. Two years of this is wholly unacceptable and they should be jailed for it.

    Where you getting this two years thing? You missed a zero, it's 20 years!

    Jaysus, just use your common sense. If your driving to a mountain or something or have a specific path or a farm with no one around your okay.

    the police will be stopping people and looking to see that people are within the 2km zone

    Can we deem “being George Lee” a non-essential business/service? 😀

    It was inevitable that not all cases of the virus were traced. It may even live in in pets before transmitting back to humans. Lockdowns only solve the problem temporarily. The virus will return one way or another.

    Do you really need the guards to tell you what to do? The instructions are to stay at home except for the reasons outlined, dozens of times on thread at this stage.

    You are instructed to not make social calls to family.

    Still not an answer to my question

    United States heading for more than 20,000 new cases for yesterday (up from 17,224 on Thursday). 400 deaths so far for Friday nationwide.

    New York has a new high of 7,000 new cases and 138 deaths (up from 100 yesterday) so far recorded for Friday.

    A lot of talk about the 2km but people don't seem to have noticed the congregation issue. From my reading of the restrictions, two teenagers or two adults cannot walk along the street together (all public gatherings of any number of people prohibited).

    Agreed , but the point is to prevent overwhelming the Health systems , so that people don’t end up dying in the streets , it seems our health service is overwhelmed at about 1000 sick ....

    The whole point is these regulations are much easier to police

    It’s not bats �� fault, it’s humans. They are invading animals space more and more.

    A lot of posts on here about what you shouldn't do, not so many about what you should do. l

    You should stay at home, for 2 weeks.

    Joggers should know that their favourite paths will still be there when this is over, and if they follow the guidelines maybe so will they.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,225 ✭✭✭blockfighter


    Love all this "how will they enforce it" comments. They can't. They're asking you to not be a total prat for a few days.

    And you need to be told going out 20 times a day for a brief exercise is not what they mean?
    Do people really need to be told in simple terms do not go out because every time you go out you are potentially infecting someone else

    Seriously this whole 2km thing is rubbish - just stop it now, essential travel only - work and food and nothing else.

    Making me angry reading some peoples attitudes on here

    I think you miss the whole point of this virus issue don’t yiu

    No I don’t.

    Even if I had it, how am I going to infect anyone by being outside?

    And if I am outside what will the guards do?

    That is all I’m asking but none of you seem capable of answering. Just post snark.

    Snark means you hss as bent a blue what the answer is.

    Absolutely heartbroken and sickened tonight by the selfish a**holes on here who are thinking getting in their stupid runs/needless visits are more important than protecting my elderly ill parents and parents in law ( I have not seen them in ages and am terrified I may not again) from something they could never fight and all the other of thousands in the same position.

    I work in critical services and have family in health care. We continue to go work everyday/night looking after you and your family. We leave our kids behind everyday and go out there to try and help those who need it

    F**k you pathetic individuals

    all they are asking is for you to stay in your house or garden and only go out for quick exercise, food and medicines. Basically not to be a prat. Simples.
