    Why can't people just turn and run the opposite direction at the 2km point?

    Same type of tools that have been talking about going running and cycling on here for the last few hours.

    Not at all the same thing.

    I think joggers are tools but if unless they hassling people by getting in their personal space then what harm are they doing?

    Can you explain how I'll spread the infection by going for a drive?

    If you touch your car and the car touches the road and then other people come along that road.

    It's passed via surfaces. How long it lives on them is not fully known yet

    I suspect living conditions and average family sizes make them a higher risk group. I don't really have an issue with it.

    If they have it, they are contaminating surfaces

    They’d be more likely to get infected and do more infecting.

    I would imagine this is why.

    Get a grip! No one is going to spread the virus or catch it, going for a drive. Put your reusable shopping bags in the car and take the long route to the shops.

    What are you talking about? Government has said stay in. So guess what. Stay in!

    But the same weirdo could break into your house and cough on you so maybe its best not to be at home.

    There's no way to be prepare for behaviour that's totally unpredictable.

    THats not part of the challenge yet

    So until then STAY AT HOME

    Probable why breaking into houses is a crime then

    What is wrong with certain people here? It's not rocket science just Stay Home - why the sudden need to F*uckin marathon run across the neighbourhood and far beyond...just stay indoors - keep yourself coronavirus free - nobody wants this, it could kill you, your friends, loved ones etc - the authorities are asking for two weeks you abide by a set of (let's face it, not difficult) requirements so that those of you on the front-line can get on with their vital work. (Without said marathon runner suffering a hamstring injury and further blocking the HSE)

    Stay safe all

    It's all about putting two fingers up to the government and public at large by declaring "not on my turf". Ignorance on another level.

    Can all the joggers not just run up and down the road?
    Why the need to head off on bigger distances?

    When you breath it goes into the air vents and out the air intake, despite the flow of air in the opposite direction. Then it gets into other people's cars.

    All the while we are allowed to enter supermarkets and paw the same items as hundreds of people before us. But fook being in the wide open miles from anyone.

    Walking, it's now in the shoe, they remove the shoe, it's now on their hands, touchibg their front door, it's now in the door, wife and kids touch the door, now the family all have it.

    Yeah, my examples a little stretched but it seems you don't really understand who this thing works so I thought this would be best way

    Because we don't a proper right wing party in this country to put tax payers first.

    That Sindy Joyce is an absolute muppet. I always see her on Twitter demanding better facilities for Travellers. Get a job, pay taxes and live in houses like normal people if they want better facilities.

    2km on the radius then 12.56km on the circumference of the circle.
    2km on radius back.
    Thats 14.56km.
    You can run all you like within 2km of your home.

    Over 1800 posts on and people are still cackling on about their poxy run and whether it exceeds 2km or not or that they will be rebellious and keep on doing their 8km or whatever. Seriously........1800 f**king posts. Knock yourselves out.

    You should try it. Preferably while the car is moving.

    Sorry but lots of people should be priority and still waiting for testing
    Should be no racial profiling for who gets a test or not.

    Have to say these new restrictions won't really change anything for me - been working from home since they closed the office down, and I've only gone out for a walk (early morning when there's few people around), groceries or the pharmacy.

    Many of them would support Leo putting people in the gas chamber to prevent them from spreading COVID-19.

    You still have not answered the question you were asked about the last lie you told. What part of the constitution means the current Government is unlawful?
