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.

Where are you? There are volunteer gorups everywhere

What is essential work transport? As in couldn't any worker use that excuse or do they have to be medical workers?

I know non-medical people who have been issued permits stating that their work is essential.

Stupid question but are you allowed to go for a drive and stay in the car or is that against the rules? The auld lad need to have a look around to see everything is ok or he'll go spare but he's in no shape to leave the car regardless.

I just don't get this running and jogging and gym shyte anymore.

Well it ain't going to happen again for a while, so they might have to do the circle around their area. Fine.

Please don't tell us about how hard it is for you though. Had enough now.

Is that directed at me or the joggers?

No, you called it a junta. Whereas it is clearly the constitutional government of this country, and the bill was passed by the elected Dail, approved by the constitutionally appointed/elected senad, and signed into law by the elected president.

It is a junta. I stand by that.

What's the difference between walking 2km from your home vs driving somewhere nice and secluded and going for a walk, like up a mountain.

People acting like it's airborne and you'll catch it if you go outside. Ridiculous.

We had our chance for this sort of approach but last weekend showed that a minority of people cannot be trusted to be reasonable. You'd have no guarantee that 10,000 Dubs wouldn't also rock up to your mountain for a bit of fresh air at the same time.

Just use your common sense, if he's not interacting with anyone will be fine.

If he's driving 20KM and going into different shops even though there's one a KM from his house then no its not okay. If he interacts with even a single person then no its not okay as well.

Seriously people just use common sense.

There's nothing wrong with this. The only problem is this forum has proven beyond doubt that there are a lot of absolute thicks in this country not capable of common sense.

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.

US is epicentre now.

Italy, France, Spain and Switzerland seem to be levelling off as far as confirmed cases, probably expect Italy to see a fall off in new cases early next week and the others to follow probably week after.

US looks like its going to have an explosion in expotential growth. Chicago, Detroit and LA look like they could be at NYC level in a few days.

No you are wrong. It is the constitutional Government of the country. Show me the section of the constitution which states they are not.

That’s exactly the problem , common sense isn’t common , the government has asked you to STAY AT HOME , except for essentials like food and medicine ,

Why can’t you see that. It’s not about an individuals responsibility , because that was “ last “ week , this is no basically a directive to shelter in place

Got to love The Daily Fail- bless their cotton socks

Farm work is essential so as a supply line it would be classed as essential

Great, you risk picking up the virus shopping and transmitting it to him in the car on the way home , or perhaps you have a sink and hot water in the car

I was already resigned to the fact I wouldn't see my little fella. His mam is diabetic so even before tonights restrictions we had decided it was a bad idea. Even when the 2 week lockdown ends, if it ends after two weeks, I'll likely still not see him, too risky. Video calls and plenty of them. Will try think of a few games to play over a video call, make the most of it.

Ive got an old PS4 here Im going to download Fortnite and play it with them,we can talk and have fun through that.
Havent played computer in years :pac:

I agree fully with what your saying. I won't advise anymore.

It won't stop me doing mountain drives or scenic drives etc. where I won't interact with a single person but yea I'll stop giving advice.

Sorry.
