    Out walking the dog this morning.

    In the space of 45 minutes about 12- 15 joggers passed me.
    Not one of them were coughing or spluttering.

    Do you think they are ok?

    Should I be worried?

    He's achieved more with his life than you could ever imagine doing so with your life, is this the real reason you sound so miserable and bitter?

    What am I miserable and bitter about? Did you wake up on the wrong side of the bed?

    Oh right so you know who I am?

    I was being sarcastic in my previous post. Wake up and smell the coffee.

    You can't have a family walk.

    So stay the f*ck home or go out individually. Jesus Christ. I'd say half of the people moaning on here about their exercise never did a f*cking tap of exercise before this outbreak.

    You's are part of the problem with your family walks and kids running wild and spluttering everywhere. Stop trying to find a loophole. There's not going to be one. Do as you were asked and stay indoors for the foreseeable future.

    You are allowed to go for a family walk for exercise purposes.

    - To take brief individual personal exercise within 2km of your own home which may include children from your own household as long as you adhere to two-metre physical distancing.

    Still not 100% on the construction sites. Are they staying open? Or are they going to bring forward or extend the builders holidays?

    As I posted on this thread last night, until yesterday I was getting in the car with my kids and driving out to deserted woodlands to walk in. We were in some woodland in east Clare yesterday and spent a couple of hours walking around and didn't see a single soul the whole time, apart from asmall water lizard and some frogspawn, who may indeed have souls, who knows.


    Under the new regulations, we'll be restricted to the same pavements as a whole load of other urban dwellers asl well, and encounter far far more people with much less space to avoid them.


    I get the idea of the 2km restriction, it's needed to stop people just going wherever they want, but it's a pain in that arse for us.

    Okay so this suggests I can go to a wood 2k away from my house with the kids?

    No you stupid fukc, it doesn't need clarification. Stay at home you self entitled prick. You clearly don't have a relative who has died from this illness, so keep your messy little kids at home where they belong.

    Really sorry if you lost a relative. Alot more will in the future and in heart wrenching circumstances.

    Unfortunately the rules do say you can bring children on your individual exercise provided you observe social distancing. Not saying whether I agree or not, but that's what they say.

    Shit T, when they were living with me I was tempted by dark thoughts when the gyms were open. I'd be going full Hannibal Lecter now. :D

    Many worry about Artificial Intelligence. I worry far more about Organic Idiocy.

    Could you imagine Bill Clinton, Obama or even Bush jr. being this thick?

    Trump supporters, come on you know he's a dumb ass, you know it.

    One of the TV station news showed a video of borris the UK health minister and the chief medical officer press conferences last night.

    Walked into the press conference should to shoulder. About a foot of distance between their speaking podiums. Walked out shoulder to shoulder. All 3 now have corona virus.

    Learn from boris's mistakes if no one else.

    Could the mouth-breathers get a separate thread to shout ‘stay at home’ repeatedly to one another in?

    For most of them it is probably the first time to go running in years.

    I definitely see more than usual outside my place.

    Don't be making up ****e. It was explicitly stated at the press conference you can go for a walk with your children.

    Do you have a garden. Some folks don't have that.

    Just for a bit of perspective here: Let's say the average persons lives to be 80 years old them asking us to stay in our homes and restrict our movements for 2 weeks equates to 0.00048% of our lives so it's not a big ask in the grand scheme of things.

    Restriction rule; You need something from your office to work on Monday and for the forseeable. With Leo's restrictions, would you go to the office right now to get it?

    Is it essential to your health and wellbeing.

    If yes, yes.

    If no, no.

    If this thread is in any way representative of the Irish attitude to this, I'm glad I'm not sitting this out there.

    Madness.

    It's incredibly frightening the loyal following he has judging by the tweets below that post.

    Very cult like.

    Just for a bit of perspective here: Let's say the average persons lives to be 80 years old then asking us to stay in our homes and restrict our movements for 2 weeks equates to 0.00048% of our lives so it's not a big ask in the grand scheme of things.

    User name checks out, seriously though if it's actually 2 weeks then fine, if it's 3-4 weeks that wouldn't be too bad either. If it goes on beyond April then people are going to become extremely agitated.

    Bear in mind a lot of people myself included have been adhering to the new measures already for more than two weeks.
