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

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.

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.

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

SPeaking as somebody who worked in A&E I beg to differ, they are overrun and busy for a reason

Home is where the greatest accident risk is, warns top A&E doctor

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.

It's here and lots of nice comments (the odd vile one)

look at the list of essential services and pick one. as others have said there are still a lot of essential services that are permitted to work.

you are just being nosy.

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.

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

When they are using it to back up what they are saying they should.

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.

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

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.

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

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!

Woodsie1 · 28-03-2020 03:22AM

Are cyclists and joggers so fcuking stupid that they cant go back and forth within the 2km to get their exercise?

pgj2015 · 28-03-2020 03:22AM

my job can not be done from home. its an essential service, and it is my business, i couldnt care less if you believe me or not.

I recently saw a comment. Our Grandfathers fought wars, endured rationing and bombings (it was a UK forum), we are being asked to sit on a sofa.

The sheer stupidity and self-entitlement displayed here tonight is baffling.

Lol you can be injured at home or outside of home. Emergency services have to come get you either way.

Please get some sunshine and fresh, humid air this summer. Don't hide under your bed all summer or you'll be weakened when the next coronavirus/flu season rolls around.

I could dump asbestos in the Wicklow Mountains in the middle of the night and no one would know.

I could steal a purse from an unlocked car with no CCTV footage and no one would know.

What's wrong with doing a 20mile run within the 2km radius?

I don't see the point in stating the obvious just to feel like "I showed them" or "ha, so many holes in this policy". It's easy to run outside the radius, but equally as easy to run within it.

I'll tell you what's wrong: Mixing imperial and metric.

Indeed. Could be a pharmacist as well but I kinda doubt these positions would be so dim regarding a virus as both would be well aware of the damage virus's can cause.

Mechanic maybe

Yeah they do come but if its unncessary like going for a long drive during a pandemic it doesnt stop them thinking youre a dick while treating you, especially when you knew the emergency services are overburdened.

So get sun go for a short walk as advised, stand at your door head out window on balcony sit in garden just dont do anything stupid to necessitate 999 during a PANDEMIC

I am sure he does, it is surface upon which a virus can sit waiting for someone else to pass, but do you know what the circumference of a circle is?

So it's only the hedges that are more than 2k from my house that are dangerously infected? I know what the circumference of a circle is. I'd ask if you know what 'reaching' is, but clearly you could win gold if it was an olympic sport.

What an asshole thing to say. The dangers that emergency services go through for self entitled asshats like you. They die helping people like you!

Or I could just mean they have no required knowledge of viral infections maybe?

Don't think they are thick at all but have a different skill set to the medical field. Horses for courses and generally when a mechanic tells me the issue with my car, I believe him because he knows a lot more about it than I do.
