I don't know why Padraig thinks it's alright to be there taking photos, totally unnecessarily, while shaming people for being outside. How is it their fault that the street is so busy? This shaming of people for daring to be on a busy street is fcking weird and creepy. I was on a busy street earlier, because I needed to go to the pharmacy to get paracetamol for terrible stomach pains, and other people were doing similar things. I suppose Padraig would have photographed and shamed me, too. He must think we all have drones to deliver us things.

Plans also have begun on the phased lifting of restrictions

I doubt they do anything against "expert" recommendation, as it would leave them open to problems down the line, if things worked out worse than expected. Politcians here, are about as far from Trump and Johnson as you can get, no leadership, spineless yes men, decide on what to do, by looking at opinion polls on the journal. This time, having a very conservative political set up, has helped our situation...

Do you not understand how it's basically impossible to maintain the correct distance if you live in a crowded city? I certainly don't want to be walking down a busy street or shopping with people right next to me or having joggers panting in my face if I go for an evening walk, but sometimes I just have no choice

Seriously, do you not understand the regulations? I think that someone who is a professional photographer contributing images to national media is capable of deciphering what is likely essential or ambivalent behavior. Why do you think they are publicizing this? As a joke?

The complete refusal to understand that people have to go out, people have to buy food and medicine. And in fact for some people,the whole thing is overwhelming difficult. But it's easier for the ignorant to label and pigeon hole.:rolleyes:

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.

Later in his reply to comments says that somebody carrying a new pillow shows they weren't out for essential activity - whilst this guy is out to take a ****ing photograph? Self awareness is clearly lacking in this chap

People seem to be of the mentality, that this covid is happening to someone else... and wont happen them... If its there business... well you wont need one if your dead and you certainly wont be running one if your in hospital for weeks with covid. But if its too much of an inconvenience to stop a life threatening then just let the people at it give em what they want put it to a vote so they cant cry after aswell and know they did it too themselves.

You may well not fit any one classification exactly. You may be between two. You may move from mild to moderate symptoms, then back to mild. You may have symptoms from more than one group. Illness is like that. When huge numbers of people are affected, they will not all fit perfectly into simple group classifications of mild, moderate or severe. But if your symptoms are predominantly of mild disease with, say, one or two moderate features, you may be 'mild to moderate'.
