French police will fine people 135 euros for being out in public without authorization. Repeat offenders face prison. Here you can exercise within 2km and can go to the shop for groceries. Stick it out

It's a virus that is serious for a very specific demographic that are easy to identify and protect - the very old and the very sick. For everyone else the risk is negligible.

You can self certify (ie sign your name to a form) and go outside for exercise, shops etc. You can exercise the same as in Ireland but the limit is 1km although not coded in law. It's pretty much the same as what you have in Ireland now, apart from require a form that you fill in yourself

But then you delve into the figures, just over 200k long term unemployed being counted in the overall figure. It's a great headline to say the unemployment figure is XXX but in truth,when this is over there is a job waiting for at least 90% of the 290k people out of work due to Corona. The other 30k will find work because they want to work,they won't become long term unemployed.

My house in Donegal is out on its own with no one within 200 metres, ideal just now. She didn’t want to get the bus up in case she became infected and then carried it into work. She insisted I drive her up which I did although I didn’t want to as I am over 60 and in the vulnerabl3 group and would be safer in my house in Donegal . I drove her up thinking I could then drive back down but now the restrictions are in. I don’t want to be here and she doesn’t want me here when she is in out of work, I could drive down to my house without meeting anyone and be safer. I wonder would I be allowed to do that.

In the past 2 weeks he has taken in no cash although there are lots of social welfare tickets traveling on day trips between towns and going on longer journeys. The sooner the regulations come into force the better to stop these journeys going on. If the rumours of €2500 fines are true I think it's a disservice. A lower monetary fine that is in the realms of being paid but is immediately painful enough to wake people up to their actions might be more effective. As I assume the 2500 fine would be a long drawn out process.

The recovery time is up to 3 week assuming no complications in a large amount of cases. You think businesses could survive with large swaths of their employees and customers out sick. What happens to the hospital's if it gets out of control. More admissions. What happens if other people need the hospital's. Kids, yourself? Do you think they could deal with it all. The economy will recover. It always does. You show a very poor understanding of numbers and statistics and indeed empathy which is more worrying

In case you haven't noticed, most businesses are shut down now - I think they'd take the risk of your '3 weeks sick' scenario.
