Don't be so hysterical.

You didn't even read the post I was responding to did you?
Why just post without thinking?

So where exactly is this law? I can't find it.

What is essential travel? To go food shopping.... pharmacy.... laundry? Where is this wrote down in our statute book?

How is the 2km measured? As the crow flys a 2km circle boundary from my house?

I'm shocked they've made this legally enforceable.

No cycling for you tomorrow 😂😂

Are the HSE still testing if you have two or more symptoms?

Are they actually happy that there's asymptomatic people out there spreading it?

I don't understand.

The only way to stop asymptomatic spreaders is an effective lockdown. Still seems like there's a lot of non essential companies and workplaces open out there. The more you delay implementing a proper lockdown, the longer that lockdown will be unfortunately. Had we implemented a strict lockdown in early March we'd be over the peak now and could have started a slow reopening for easter. Instead we are probably stuck with a lockdown for another month because the testing numbers are so inconsistent and unreliable.

They still fall under HIQA's umbrella regardless.

HIQA don't have any PPE. What do you expect them to do?

You seem to be lacking any detailed knowledge of the area.

I was part of a queue for the local supermarket today and some scrote just appeared around the corner and walked straight in the door bypassing the queue of about 15 people. It's the likes of that cnut that makes these new powers necessary. I don't like them but I can understand why they're being brought in.

No employee on the door checking people coming in? my local Supervalu has someone at the front entrance all the time making sure only one person comes in at a time, that people leave via the other door, that people queue up properly and that no kids are coming in-all as per the notice they have up.

That and their emphasis on social distancing rules, sink and hand sanitisers on entrance mean I prefer to shop there now rather than any of the other supermarkets in my area.

Genuinely looking forward to the comedy that will be Gemma O’Doherty’s reaction to this.

How is that hysterical? The guards have powers of arrest. The penalties for a conviction are a €2,500 fine and up to six months in prison.

That's literally what we're discussing.

It's a last resort really, they'll ask someone first and if the person is being unreasonable or non compliant they'll be requested to return home either under public order or road traffic legislation. That fails then yeah you could be arrested and charged if the DPP sees fit

Why would they enforce greater measures when we are largely seeing a flat number of new cases....maybe they could do it for 3/4 days.

If there's no progress by August that's well over 100 days of controls not solving the problem, time to face the music, better to die on your feet than live on your knees.

Spain 5,267 cases 704 deaths.

Yesterday 5,029 cases 700 deaths.

RIP.

The come down is slow, but it's happening in Italy and Spain are a week behind them.

This is Ireland. You'd want to acting so egregiously out of order to be arrested.

They are not going to be arresting anyone for walking 2.5km from their home. That's hysterical nonsense.

Having a house party though... Proper order. Taking the family to the holiday home... Proper order.

Yeah if someone has a house party now or a gathering of any sort, like the examples that have been posted here before in housing estates now they can enter the house to break it up.

If we have no progress on this by say August is a referendum needed to be put to the people to ask should we go back to normal or continue lockdown as is?

Unless it’s some sort of e-referendum...

Because the potential for 4 million people plus, Qing up next to each other indoors over 14 hours might cause more issues than it would be attempting to solve. Ditto with counting, admin etc.

Where are the greater restrictions mentioned? It's an article about the gardai having additional powers to enforce existing restrictions.

Pretty much all the nursing homes are privately owned and run, and source (or don't source) their own equipment and PPE. They're nothing got to do with the HSE.

There's been a lack of PPE in Ireland and globally. Many nursing home staff don't even know how to use PPE, Infectious Diseases isn't their area...

I said Harris, not the HSE. HIQA are responsible for monitoring all nursing homes and this falls under his remit.

It's just not good enough no matter what way you look at it.

I used to work for HIQA, I know exactly what they do. It doesn't extend to sourcing or providing PPE to private nursing homes...

That can't be his issue with the WHO. He was complimenting China's ha dling of this in late March. So he is very much in favour of China here.
