You know what a hedge is, right?

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.

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.

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.

Self employed? Curious what that would be.

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 · 28-03-2020 02:03AM

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.

Self-isolation hastens the onset of dementia.

The health effects of staying in for even a few months could be devastating.

All the idiots on this thread are going to spend their summer forgoing sunshine, Vitamin D and humid air. They'll be ready to drop dead by the time next winter rolls around.

Journalists are seen as essential but I mainly work from home. Any work I have done out and about has been curtailed.

It’s an inevitable consequence of the idiots congregating together, that we have all seen evidence of in the last two weeks

Don't you hate it when people hate the new restrictions and then claim they do essential work but won't say what this work is?

the point i was making is we arent all the same, some people are like children, they need to be bossed around or they dont know what to do. others dont thrive in this kind of situation.

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.

Keeping within a 2km radius limits the area any cluster can spread to and will limit the rate and distance of any further geographic spread.

If people drive to 'somewhere nice and secluded' they may cross paths with others who had the same idea who have travelled to the same spot from somewhere else (think Glendalough or any of a number of beaches or walks last weekend). Suddenly there's the possibility of one infected, possibly asymptomatic, person infecting others and seeding a number of new community transmitted clusters with little or no traceability back to the infecting person.

If we want to get the spread of this under control we need to stop any non essential movement and interaction outside our own household. The virus doesn't spread on its own, we spread it.

The message is simple, "Stay at home".

One or two people might have the genius idea of spending time in their gardens. Whisper it gently, I don't want that secret gaining traction.
