    I work in another county all week and normally go home on Friday but this week had to stay here last night so am not at home now.

    My wife is home alone but is fine and well. Could I make the trip home today to be with her do you think? It's 200km away, am in my own car?

    Errr- yeah of course you can - why would you even be asking that question :confused:

    Theres a reason why everyone is asked to cough or sneeze into their elbows!!

    Dear god if there is someone in a supermarket letting out rocket sneezes they should be kicked out and banned.

    It's ridiculous that they held a presser to start lockdown when they were not prepared with the information they needed to issue.

    Depressing situation, I wish I could just go to bed and wake up in 2 months.

    They needed to do it before the weekend because people cant stay at home as proved by last weekend.

    It's a fair question. People have to have a legitimate reason to be out of their house now.

    Jesus H Christ, the 2km thing is not relevant if you have to work in an essential service.

    The list will be published later. I'd suggest talking to your manager.

    My apologies - The 2km ‘thing’ is just a coincidental reference - I know it’s not a measurement limiting my travel to work or shops. it just so happens that I’m exactly 2km front door to work, so feel more relaxed about travel, as I’m not far from my family. Cool the jets...

    And as for taking to my manager - i shouldn’t have to!

    It should be perfectly clear (on gov.ie) if this list is finite, subject to change or more info is coming... instead of a heap of contradictory info.

    I’m all for the ‘lockdown’. The communication is poor and people are confused/unsure.

    Not sure I understand. How is a manager to know at this point in time if suppliers of even the smallest piece of equipment is needed until it's broken and needed? Spares might be there for some thing that break regular but not for absolutly everything...

    Anyways my point is. Where does essential and nonessential begin and end ?

    My point was that it is the manager's job to find out/apply for an exemption and let you know.

    Intel isn't closing apparently. It's manufacturing sites are regarded as an essential service. Now the cynic in me says isn't it amazing how we have involved that we are now as dependent on PC chips as we are on food for survival.

    You’d think the info (companies, exemptions) would be on gov.ie, and not being relayed to you (us) via a thread on boards.ie

    It really annoys me that at times like this, we can’t get factual info from a government source - even if that info is as simple as ‘an updated list of X will be published soon’

    And what do you think about ordinary breathing and aerosolised particles? If you are chatting with someone outside on a frosty morning it is interesting how far the visible breath stream goes, and certainly if you are in a room with someone who has very bad breath and is talking to you, you could be 10 foot away from them but quite soon the smell reaches you. Big whopping sneezes may not be the only problem? I dont know. Even as a medical person who has far more knowledge perhaps you dont know yet with this thing? There are too many gaps in our knowledge. Well, in my opinion anyway. I am not going around freaked out or anything, as I have something of a fatalistic streak. But I dont know for sure on this 2 metres, 3 metres, whatever business. Hmmmmm.

    The Dutch seem a little lax in their approach to the coronavirus - for example, they're saying it's fine for kids to go and play with each other if they are not symptomatic https://www.rivm.nl/en/novel-coronavirus-covid-19/questions-and-answers#039;s%20Novel%20coronavirus%20in%20China - I'd take anything they say with a large pinch of salt..

    I saw the planes this week going over my house US bound and wondered what the hell.... I then realised they were the planes full of medical supplies being exported.
    Earlier in the week I read that Bojo had commissioned Dyson to make respirators and thought that odd. But then I thought maybe he’s right, the EU solidarity seems to be gone out the window and it’s one big me fein **** show, and every country for themselves. Still, we in Ireland have a track record for exporting things we need most ourselves.

    Oh God can we get Oxygen in Ireland?
    Based on that model we should be allowed keep ventilators.
