Relaxation of restrictions

Joggers and cyclists should be ashamed of themselves. Observing from my landing window I have noticed one particular jogger that I know for a fact is jogging outside the permitted 2km radius. I am keeping a record of activity in my permitted zone of activity should the authorities need the information.

Disgusting behaviour.

Is he on the footpath too?

In fairness Paddy it's such a sacrifice for them to stay within 2klms of their residences the poor flowers.

If the government relax restrictions and people go back to their old ways...and then a few weeks down the line there's a resurgence of infections....it will be very difficult to get people to return to lockdown mode.

That's what the government are trying to avoid.

Exactly. That's why it is imperative we continue the hard work we have put in thus far and not let it go to waste.

Super spreader kids are a real worry for me as I go to get my essential items at the nearest supermarket to my home. Some people are bringing the little snotbags out. One woman had one running loose , I had to hover in the guitar and veg section until it was gone.

In our case the children were not given a chance to become super spreaders as the schools were closed, since most people know how quick they can spread viruses, especially when you think there are over one million school going children in Ireland.

The clusters more then likely were caused by carers and ageny staff unaware of Covid19 being present and not having adequate PPE.

you are using anecdotes about tummy bugs to give an opinion about children spreading covid 19,

might be better to read some actual scientific studies?

Anyone think libraries will be among the earliest 'leisure' facilities opening up again? Shouldn't be that hard to do it safely, especially if they have those self-service checkout machines...

No unless children who make up a large percentage of library users are banned from entering them. If this is implemented then maybe they can reopen in May/June with strict social distancing measures in place.

Yes that's true too

Be interesting to see how Denmark gets on with schools back

Oh I am not blaming the care staff at all , but I do think the lessons were there to be learned that the care homes were a huge risk and measures should have been on place long before they were
Yes we did close the schools in time and probably saved a lot more clusters and in home spreading .But I am still wondering if in fact many kids actually tested postive .

Ah yes I understand that and not denying the kids are spreaders. But I think maybe someone took their eye off the ball by looking at kids being the super spreader where in actual fact it was most likely carers and agency staff in care homes that caused the huge problem .The same happened in Italy and in Spain before us

lockdown merchants, should I be worried about the sky falling in any time soon?

You should worry about breaking the rules there buddy. The penalties for those who disobey the rules are set to get harsher. I expect that people will have to solidly prove that their activities are allowed. Stay indoors.

Some very encouraging signs yesterday that we're getting a bit of a handle on things

The government needed extra time so they got a 22 day extension to the lockdown already

Not sure they can keep saying we're doing very well, flattening the curve, but not enough

Here's more lockdown

People will really begin to switch off from their message

To quote Ciara Kelly "keeping them until midnight on the May Bank Holiday is the right call.

But the lockdown cannot last too much longer than that, because if it does, the cure becomes worse than the disease. The economic fall out is too great and the job losses too high.

The knock-on effects on other non Covid-19 related aspects of people's mental and physical health means there is a tipping point where more people are harmed by lockdown than are saved"
