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).

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.

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

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.

Sono Topolino · 28-03-2020 02:01AM

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.

blockfighter · 28-03-2020 02:02AM

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.

Again that means you can’t be out all day

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

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

khalessi · 28-03-2020 02:03AM

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.

Measuring tape at the ready. Difficult to enforce for sure, rather the government is relying on the public to act in good faith and I suspect most will out of consideration for others. Those who repeatedly flaunt the guidelines hopefully receiving a sharp reprimand.

A sharp fine is what these ****ers should be getting. That will hopefully be the next measure brought in.

And it's as simple as that. And yet we have over 400 pages of people who need this explained to them.

Widdensushi · 28-03-2020 02:04AM

One of the worries must have been people going to beaches, parks etc over the weekend and how they could control it, otherwise they would have given notice, left it till Monday

Local GAA, help groups - plenty of options out there if you look. They are not expecting people to starve

No one was expecting those elderly people in Spain to die of neglect either.

It still happened.

China updated today with +54 new cases and +3 new deaths.

According to the Chinese government ALL 54 cases were imported, meaning if true China could well be heading for 0 new cases shortly given they've now banned international travel into the country.

Avoiding to the Chinese, the Tiananmen square massacre never happened either so totally believable.

Woodsie1 · 28-03-2020 02:04AM

People here seem to be forgetting that the vast majority of people will hear these restrictions and automatically stick to them without any need for enforcement.

Im pissed off,got a call saying I wont get to see my kids this weekend because of this.
Deep down I know its the right thing to do but fcuk me the 2 boys are all I live for...gonna be a tough couple of weeks.

Fcuking arseholes crying about running or cycling wanna get their priorities right.

Stop now and dont be so dramatic.

The govt has endulged and enabled these people by announcing yet more half arse measures. Direct your ire at them.

“ you” are included because it’s a generalised regulation to attempt to slow the spread of the virus into the community , ie into homes.

Hence the requirement to essentially stay at home

I find it deeply disingenuous people trying to find loopholes here

It has been announced that Gardaí are beginning a nationwide policing of these regulations from tomorrow

Probably better if a certain cohort are - ffs it's two weeks not a life sentence

If all the people infected now only infect people in the same household then we are stopping the infection in it's tracks. I highly doubt it will be 2 weeks but I would rather a month of this than 3 months of thinking who has it

snoopboggybog · 28-03-2020 02:07AM

What I'm reading here and on facebook is mind boggling.

Seriously like I thought we were an intelligent nation.

Stay at home and use common sense to stop the virus spreading.

FFS like.

The disease has become a global pandemic in the space of 3 months. But you're right. It probably spread from people staying indoors away from others.
