Relaxation of restrictions

Red Alert

Simon Harris curiously made a comment that there was a limit to how long people could put up with extreme level of restrictions as we currently have. Already we’re seeing in Italy that people are starting to get restless. So two big questions:

1) on Easter Sunday, do you think there will be further restrictions, no change with just an extension or some relaxation?

2) what will be the first thing rolled back?

My own guess would be: extension for at least 1 week. Then to allow some businesses like DIY shops to reopen, perhaps allow gatherings of 2/3 people, maybe a token increase on 2km.

I know someone working in a chocolate factory. Still open and operating, with no social distancing. Essential apparently. Of course they can do more.

Would have assumed that production environment to be extremely controlled clean environment and can’t imagine social distancing is that difficult?? Places like that are very automated, large spread out buildings. People wear ppe and uniforms and change coming in and out of work. I worked in a dairy plant before and can’t once remember being very close contact with people to do the job.
We can’t just shut everything down- what happens the milk going into the factory if it shuts and the farmer milking his cows supplying it?

Ok, so your logic is, don’t listen to this person on the internet, listen to this person on the internet instead

Well Bill Gates thinks he has all the answers so an ITman surely must have some of them...

So you think you can trust individuals to be responsible?

A London-based doctor who ignored orders to self-isolate after showing Covid-19 symptoms has been found dead at his flat near Berlin, causing concern he could have infected other people on his journey from the UK.

What my point was, is that’s it’s a video on Twitter, don’t believe everything on Twitter, I could definitely (after extensive make up, and elocution lessons) appear to know my job on a video on twitter.

There’s not many of them in Ireland. Cadbury have two factories I think in Coolock and Kerry or at jest they used to. Not sure if Nestle or Mars do anymore they used to.
Lots of smaller scale and artisan types like Lir or Lily O’Brien’s around the country after that. Vast majority of our chocolate comes from England and the continent I’d bet

What an utter pr1ck.

How arrogant and loathsome would you need to be to travel to another country, coming into contact with dozens of people, when you KNOW you're sick?

Good riddance to him. Hope nobody else dies because of him.

Ok but still, if it's open and shouldn't be, name them.

Why were you out on the road if you mind me asking and I very much doubt there were more cars than normal.

I was driving to work. My company has been deemed an essential service by the government.

It looked like a normal day in Ireland with traffic at a lighter scale.

Britain have committed to testing 100,000 per week today, if they can. That means they will only have tested 1 million people in 10 weeks time. That is under 2% of their entire population.

The whole testing issue is not going to fix anything. If the Brits can't even test 2% of their population in the next 10 weeks what chance have we got? Think about it, the physical testing aside, the results have to be sent to a lab and then a physical person has to test each and every test. It takes time and resources both human and the physical compounds ( of which there is a limited supply ), there is simply not enough to go around. This testing mantra cannot work. It is getting overemphasised by too many people who don't fathom the reality that it is not physically possible to test everyone. In fact I would estimate that a vaccine will be found before it is possible to test everyone, I am not exaggerating.

Less labour intensive tests will be devised and will be rolled out before a vaccine can be tested.

Ok fair enough, your original post said it was busier which I found strange. Tbh I havent a clue about traffic as I have hardly left my house in 2 weeks.

Gardaí don't have any power to restrict people's movements and a lot of people realise this.

There were more people out and about in Dublin today than last weekend. I reckon these restrictions won't hold unless the Government actually bring in enforcement powers. I'd imagine they are reluctant to do so and are hoping most people abide by restrictions, knowing that a sizeable percentage probably won't.

I listened to 15 of 20 mins and don’t think I heard him say that.
Can you summarise rather than just post a 20 min link?

Also , what’s the plan for this year? Stay indoors?!

I have notice countless post like this since the so called beach fiasco a week ago.

One poster mentioned his usual beach was busy, so in disgust he went to a more remote beach.
Here he met a few people. He was horrified, and suggested more stringent restrictions.

Am I alone in thinking those attitudes are bats*** crazy

A, no power to stop people traveling

B, Gardai haven't suddenly doubled in numbers

C, real crime is still happening

D, Gardai are also sick

It's not nearly like any other rush hour

[Deleted User]

Things are definitely not normal

scamalert

dont want cars on the road sure setup a page where people can claim their road tax and insurance back for 2 weeks, then deploy guards to check, win win both ways. but as gov goes id imagine tune would change fast regarding getting economy back on track as soon as possible.

I work on the frontline, so I have to work. I have noticed a lot more traffic around the last 2 days. A lot more. Obviously more people are out & about.
All it will do is cause more restrictions being placed on us.

OK that's it, cracks beginning to appear.
Can someone start up a movement please '#openupthesites' or something, where do I sign?

Need to go back to work now.
