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.

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 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.

He might injure himself from all the mental gymnastics performed so far.

Well lets say you dont need to add to it by driving adn crashing or cycling and crashing cause a/es will be busy

Use cop on stay at home and dont have accidents

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.

We would believe you if you said what it is. Why all the secrecy?

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.

Adaptable people are useful to society

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.

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?

I didn't state that they were either lawful or unlawful. My views on that are clear. But I simply pointed out that they are a junta regardless of whether you perceive them to be lawful or not. They should get lost and stay under house arrest where they belong and not order everyone else around.

So you know that 14.56 km is the distance you can go on 1 radius, the circumference and back. Well done your problem is now solved.

Will you now make the effort the prevent the deaths of any more nurses in our ICUs?

Because of their living arrangements; halting sites, mobile homes, tight crowded communities - the Virus could spread quickly.

That's ICU beds gone very quickly.

Stop getting emotional.

Accidents occur in the home and out of the home. Most accidents happen in the home. Saying that anyone who leaves their home is overburdening emergency serices is untrue. Hiding in your house doesn't reduce the amount of emergencies, how could it? Think for a second.

You need sunshine and fresh air, especially in the context of an upper respiratory tract infection. Just try not to come into contact with surfaces or people.

You said Junta, they are the legal Government and thus entitled to pass laws. ANYTHING else but that would be a junta.

Makes sense now, you work in fabrication. All the nonsense you conjured out of thin air, can't imagine it's the most lucrative profession however.

Once again, it's not about stopping YOU getting infected, it's about spreading it out so the system can cope.

The 2km is because people do require some degree of outdoor like to prevent cabin fever setting in. In Spain the limit is in time, 10 minutes from home. Same principle.

If the government thought they could tell people to stay inside fully without it resulting in lot of lunatics, domestics and mental illness, they would.

People living in apartment blocks are more at risk

yes you need sunshine but you can stand at door to get it or sit in garden or sit at open window

No it’s not , because the Gardaí now have specific powers and a well defined set of limits. ( fir example husband and wife in car , Nono, where do you live , there a supermarket over there , good evening can yiu show me proof of your address , you are 8km away from home , two or more people together and clearly am adult and kids , nono , etc)
These new rules are clearly designed to be enforced and enforceable

Are you sure about that? A husband and wife live in the same house and sleep in the same bed. Why should it matter if they are in the same car. My understanding is that households can go out together as long as they keep 2m from everyone else.

We have been asked to stay at home and restrict our movements for the greater good - protecting the elderly and vulnerable in our society from contracting this awful disease, and to help the health services manage the inevitable influx of patients who do contract it.

Is it too f**king much to ask that people, for now, forego their cherished freedoms for a (hopefully short) period of time?

The past number of posts today banging on about 'mah freedoms' and civil liberties being curtailed have me weeping for society.

I have elderly parents (one in a nursing home) that I haven't seen in a month and I fear I won't see again.

All of you giving out about not being able to roam as you wish, or those looking to score political points - grow up, for the love of God.

Stop being so flippant and self entitled.

Most accidents happen at home because that's where we spend most of our free time and sadly, are idiots when health and safety isn't forced on us.

Medical experts have said stay at home. Medical experts and the emergency services have said they are stretched and the best course of action is to stay at home as much as possible.

You can easily go a few weeks without sunbathing. Go to your garden, your balcony and if they don't happen, stick your head out a window. Sunshine problem solved.

Now stop being so bloody arrogant and self entitled, stay at ****ing home like the actual experts have said!
