It doesn't matter if its Irish people returning to Ireland.

The coronavirus doesn't give a damn about your nationality.

Joke of a "lockdown".

Three weeks is a long time, but completely understandable too. Are we looking at September before schools are back, and do the kids repeat the year or just carry on?

Maybe they should. I'm far less of a risk to others. Oh and I'm an essential worker when I finish my leave.

Just been out for walk (England). God the joggers get on my tits. Only a few of them but that was enough. Breathing and panting past you. Surely such geniuses could work out an exercise regime at home? Or simply walk like us mere mortals?

Covid 19 has I think united the nations against joggers. They are a fcking nuciance - impatient, dirty in their habits and generally all pointy elbows.

They should restrict each reporter to one question, that guy had four questions!

Seriously?
No one can guarantee anything

Plenty.

We're facing bankrupcy as a nation but the government can afford 2 signers for every press conference. Ridiculous.

tobefrank321 wrote: »

FFS. why do they need 2 sign language signers?

Can they not give RTE a transcript of the speeches in advance and put them up as subtitles?

Imagine everything going on in the world right now and you're giving out about 2 people doing sign language rather than one. :pac::pac::pac:

Having a bad day until I seen this

No guarantee!
Could well be extended again.

Of course they will, if they have a brain in their heads.

Do you normally walk without breathing?

You know exactly what I meant. Out of breath from their business as usual running. Ironically if they've caught this thing the exercise may be detrimental.

Until there's a cure or a vaccine, this is our future.

Is it not being enforced for this weekend only?

Harris is about to answer that.
To be honest I just sort of took for granted that it would be extended but let's see.

Missed a trick there should have extended for a fortnight and then extended it by a week in a fortnights time

Interesting -that's the way I'd have gone as well. Slightly more palatable psychologically and then you'd be saying 'Just one more week'.

They shouldn't let anyone off a plane or boat who can't produce evidence of address here, otherwise we are wasting our time.

I think you may have inadvertently touched on the problem right there.

It seems obvious. We seem to in or around the peak. Why would you stop then?

I am really shocked by the reaction. What were people expecting? 500 cases yesterday should have made this clear.

I'm literally amazed at how stupid people have shown themselves to be.

I'm sure these three politicians just love that the country is temporarily paralysed. It's probably the last thing they want. Well it's the second last thing they want.

There are two hard choices, one worse than the other.

A lot of people in this country are very disconnected from the natural reality of this virus. It has to be denial.

There will be no normal life until a vaccine. Its as simple as that.

tobefrank can you just f*ck off. People who need sign language have a right to know what is going on in the country and if you read back it's been said signing is very hard work and they need 2 to give the other a rest

No thanks. Say hello to ignore.

Depends how its going. If we are doing ok maybe loosen them. They have to manage that seriously well though or we are back to square one.

Carnage down in Wexford apparently with the amount of people that have swanned down there for this weekend.

spookwoman · 10-04-2020 04:32PM

Anyone else feel the numbers are increasing a little more than they are happy with and this is why the extended lockdown and talking about testing now.

AtomicHorror · 10-04-2020 04:32PM

Loving the would-be resistance movement forming now. The guberment better stop trying to protect me OR ELSE

That wouldn't allow enough time to reassess things and just increases the liklihood of a further extension. Which seems likely to me anyway.

I’d prefer a poem than lies every day of the year.

The_Kew_Tour · 10-04-2020 04:33PM

Right decision to make it least another 3 weeks. But anyone who thinks it will be relaxed in coming 2 months are kidding themselves

Surely anyone coming through the ports and airport should be self isolating (unless they are classed as a key worker)?

Well they have to, there’s no other option.

Hopefully it’s actively enforced and people are fined for breaking the rules.

Would that be the same people that are fined week in and week out but never actually pay the fine? The same people who couldn't give a damn about a string of convictions? Because that's where this lockdown will start to crumble first. It was a terrible decision. They should have said a week or two and asked people to double down.
