    OK my husband is an essentials services worker, for the last week he has come home, eaten his dinner and gone out to his shed, gone to bed, avoided being in our space (our two children and myself), I would love to have a movie night all of us sitting haphazardly on couches with our dogs eating popcorn - not going to happen. Anyone who is working right now, is working until they get sick, their worst fear is that a member of their family will end up getting sicker than them.

    You have a chance to make happy memories AT HOME, USE IT.

    Fantastic post. I applaud your husband and your family. Yous are keeping this country going!!!

    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.

    A lot of them probably never ran 2 km in their lives so should have much to worry about. I like an auld cycle every so often, if I have to give that up for a few weeks it is hardly a disaster.

    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.

    I looked down through her Twitter never one mention of her calling out Traveller crime or issues like incest child abuse etc

    Just saw a woman from NJ on CNN who has Covid-19. Her daughter has it too and in the last week her mother, 2 sisters and a brother have died from it. It's sad to see how bad it is in America.

    why are people finding these new rules hard to take?


    Because we are used to living in a country where we are free to live our lives as we please, its like suddenly waking up and realizing you are now living in something more similar to north korea. also no one with half a brain believes this is going to last for 2 weeks. some of us are free spirits as well not like some people who need to be told what to do, i am self employed and havent had anyone tell me what to do in years.

    Better close the supermarkets in that case.

    If food wasn't a requirement to live, they would but as more people would die from lack of food that would be counter productive.


    You can't be the much of a moron surely?

    Yep, it's a solid object that touching leaves a trace on. If someone else touches it after you, they can be infected from what you left behind.

    I never said they could get sick from it.

    There is a post 5 above you from the spouse and family of a health care worker.

    Yesterday a nurse in the ICU of the mater hospital died protecting us from this virus.

    Our government has passed a law on the advice of Medical experts to help save the lives of our elderly and protect people like that nurse.

    You question that because you want to go for a run.

    GROW UP.

    There's no way we will still be in this situation in December. People just won't be able to take it. Even the elderly and the vulnerable.

    Seems the lockdown is the high horse many have been praying for. Didn't take them long to climb aboard and give a dig of their spurs.

    No doubt the Guards will soon be getting calls about neighbours out mowing their lawns and cleaning their gutters.

    I'm beginning to lose faith in our education system. Aren't Irish people supposed to be intelligent and educated?

    Is this such a high concept area of science?

    Tell me how
    Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 23,061 ✭✭✭✭Tell me how


    Just watched some of Simon Harris's Q&A specifically targeted at children from RTE News Now on YouTube. On a day when he started with speaking to Pat Kenny about the situation, was no doubt heavily involved in discussions and meetings all day, attended the press conference this evening and was tweeting close to midnight both thanking people for their effort and reminding them to keep it up he still found some time to record the copy for the broadcast.
    And, the comments are turned off on YouTube for that particular video while other videos from RTE relating to the virus have comments open.

    I find it somewhat upsetting that given all the above, some people would use a children's video on YouTube to spout some bile or nonsense leading to them being closed.

    This episode we are experiencing is showing many people to be heroes, it is also showing some others (vastly the minority I believe thankfully) to be severely deficient in some part of their lives.

    I dont see why it matters to be honest. I am self employed and it is a necessary service.
