Answer the question! You used your occupation to back yourself, now answer.

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?

Why should they share employment info on a web site? There's no way to verify it anyway.

Nah, I'm rather unsurprised. A well-trodden path we have been down before, never expect a straight answer from a spoofer.

One or two people might have the genius idea of spending time in their gardens.

Not everyone has a garden.

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.

The comments being turned off doesn’t necessarily mean anything bad was posted. Comment section may have been disabled from the start.

No the point you are making us you think you are above the rules and know better than the leading experts in these fields

There is another reason for staying at home

Our hospitals are expecting to be overrun from next week onwards. So all the cyclists go for cycles and the drivers go for drives all saying I'm doing no harm and then there is a crash. You will be assisted by overstretched paramedics nurses and doctors all because you couldn't stay at home.

Dont become a statistic and dont cause a statistic

Stay at home

Er so they might want to leave their house/apartment (within 2km) if they don't want to compromise their health. Especially if a mutated strain next winter is a serious possibility.

Well personally I'm curious what self employed position is covered by 'essential worker' considering it's a pretty defined list.

Most accidents take place in the home. Its well-known.

Could be something to do with medical supplies, or food production.

Basically because YouTube comments have a tendency to be a real cesspool, a lot of media organisations and even individuals turn them off. It’s nothing unusual.

the point i was making was that this isnt easy for people to deal with, as it is so outside the norm of anyone used to living in Ireland.

I don’t quite follow your logic , your comment was in response to someone expressing satisfaction in having to do some gardening , if you don’t have a garden then you’ll have to do something else AtHOME , so again, so what

Not many self employed paramedics or grocers or Gardai or nurses or binmen or esb staff or bord gais staff. And so on.

Could be a farmer I suppose. Not essential staff but granted an exemption in the current situation

Why add to it?

I’ve actually been saying this to family members for days now. Please, please avoid doing anything that is unnecessarily risky or likely to end up up in A&E as the resources may not be there and you don’t want to be in A&E if at all avoidable with this virus around.

So it’s both protecting yourself and the system to try and be a bit more safety aware for the next while.

2K isn't really enough to get your heart rate up for long enough. I'll also continue going on my usual walks of 6 -8k. I'm in a rural location so unless hedges can catch the virus or give it, I should be fine.

You can walk over 12½km within a 2km radius.

I am self-employed as a freelance journalist and what I do is seen as essential but I am lucky to be able to do this from home.

Agree. Minimise the risk to burden our health service.

Saying that I did manage to drop a saucepan of boiling water onto my foot a while back.

Don't do that folks!
