Feel sorry for your sister having you as a brother - having no respect for her on the colleagues who put their lives at risk to save people. I don't care if i get a warning for calling you a **** - i think pretty much every poster would agree.

Questioning whats happening indefinately is met with disdain and cries to think of the vunerable. The restrictions I am afraid could be prolonged by fear, not rational thinking.

A good friend of mine is a doctor and I know what I'm going through is nothing compared to her. Several friends have had symptoms and I haven't had to deal with that fear yet. My granny hasn't seen anyone except her carer in weeks, I don't have to go through that. Anyone who has the luxury to be on Boards all day arguing has it better than an awful lot of people and needs to stop complaining.

It was nice to get together but again, we see each other most days anyway and social distancing rules were respected. You'd have to laugh at the extraordinary lack of empathy here on boards though, you'd really wonder about these people sometimes.

So now the millions in this country who are doing their best for our country and each other by abiding with the guidelines, and indeed the millions all over the world doing the same, are now cowards? This thread has completely gone to the dogs. We're all in better company with each other, the millions here and around the world, than the selfish few here and there letting everyone else down. For shame.

There are eldery people feeling extremely lonely and their home help are not cominh to help out . There are older people in care home fretting because they cannot see their loved ones . Some have dementia and very dependant on a familiar face My own mother died in early February and she was incredibly dependent on seeing her family two , three , four times a day . I am very grateful she is not there to suffer this separation .But others are suffering I am doing ok too , I have a husband , a garden , plenty to do , plenty to eat But am very aware of the stress on others and the fact that some children and some women are living in fear in violent situations . Not everyone is as lucky as you and I

Both my wife and I are on full pay, our jobs will be fine, I’m currently on holidays but can work from home, in the country with more than an acre behind me as a garden for the kids who are at an easy age to look after. Likewise my elderly father lives with us so I’m not worried about him, we do all our shopping online and literally 2 mins away is close to 100 acres of coillte forest to discover. I’m genuinely lucky but wouldn’t dare tell other to just suck it up without knowing what people are going through.

If just partial mitigation had been done, by the end of May, the modelling suggested we would see around 70,000 new cases on one day." Using the HSE's projection for partial mitigation during the peak compared to our current flattened curve figures and using the current death rate of around 3.5% it would change the daily deathrate from ~30 to 2450 which is far from an insignificant increase.
