Fairplay to the two meatheads in my local park using the locked kids playground for their exercise routines. arseholes

Spreading the disease all over the equipment no doubt. The kids will pick it up off the swings when CorkBoy and Bandit luke finally let them back in there in 6 months time.
It might cause a 2nd wave.

Arseholes.

Hey Cork boy I need to go up to my recycling bin. Just checking if that's ok with you?

No, those places are breading grounds for the virus. Cork Boy said so. He'll be alright though because he is better than everyone else. His self-righteousness gives him immunity.

The R0 target isn't a static goal. We have to stay below an R0 value of 1. If we don't continue to take measures to prevent the spread of COVID-19 it will spike again. Better than we acknowledge that now and act accordingly rather than have to learn about it the hard way by paying with the lives of Irish people

Most people have no problems taking precautions. There's hand sanitiser everywhere now and people use social distancing and try to maintain 2m where at all possible.

There were lots of businesses and building sites operating with these precautions prior to the lockdown.

Comical. No mention of it on RTE news yet, just the same pontificating **** panicking that people are no longer listening to them, threatening us with social and economic obliteration, and trying to move goalposts because we've already smashed the R0 target.

I was at the local shop today and there were a group of 4 cyclists all jammed together drinking coffee and eating rolls at an outdoor table with no social distancing whatsoever. Disgraceful selfish behaviour.

What were you doing at the local shop anyway? Don’t you know you are only allowed to go to the multi national supermarket once a fortnight for one big shop?

Well you don't really get 4 middle aged men sharing a house, and they're usually middle aged men

If many people go to them at the same time and don`t wear masks or gloves they become a likely breeding ground for spread of the virus.

Bottle banks will become breeding grounds?

Did you stop at a local shop and have coffee and sandwiches with three other cyclists?

If so, could you tell Cork Boy 53 if you were all from the same household? Because he's pretty pissed about it.

lol, I'm not one of those cyclists, not many of them in Coolock

Read elsewhere today that if you get stuck for a mask going to the bottle bank you can improvise by wearing a sanitary pad as a makeshift mask.

or pick a couple up from the side of the road, or the ditches! Just back from a walk and there are plastic gloves dumped everywhere!! :mad::mad:

Seriously it's not necessary. No need to be consuming alcohol if it leads to unnecessary trips.

Stay at home, make a cup of tea and stick on Netflix.

In case you haven't realized Monk is one important guy. No one should be out on his roads without his express permission. Plebs.

Went to bottle bank about an hour ago and there was traffic everywhere. I think people will be out and about more and more from now on, unless they threaten heavy fines or something like they're doing in some countries.

So its 50/50 who they may harm today prob spread covid whilst at the café and cause an accident on the road following coffee by riding 4 a breast on a narrow busy road. Suppose its more 80 covid/20 road as roads are quiet at moment:o

Not sure where you are in the country but I drove bray to dublin city centre for work today, a few more cars on the road but absolutely nothing major. Still did the drive up the n11 in 20 mins. Unheard of for morning and evening rush hour.

Out for a walk now on Bray seafront and you could have the roads to yourself if you wanted.

Unless this surge in traffic is only in certain places, just haven't seen it on my journey.

I know dublin bus said journeys are up, any bus I saw coming through the city had at most 3 or 4 people on it and any route going cross city up o Connell street is boarded by gardai at the GPO

The garda are doing their job, not need to have a go at them

Unless the Gardaí believed that the OP's friend had committed, or was about to commit, an offence listed in the Offences Against the State Acts or was carrying drugs, then searching someones car for 'non essential' items is most definitely a step beyond their legal remit.
Even the Garda higher ups would not be best pleased to have frontline Gardaí overstepping their bounds - it builds bad blood with the community and general public at large.

Is this coronavirus really that bad?
1,014 deaths ÷ How many days? (40) = 25
(Each death a tragedy)
On average 170 baby's are born everyday. I get the deaths couldve been more if not for the restrictions. Median age is about 82, this sounds terrible i know but would many of those people who died of corona virus die this year anyway?
Are we storing up more deaths from suicides/cancers which aren't being diagnosed etc?
I personally feel journalists should be probing more, they all seem to ask the same questions each day. Look any decision thats taken will be hard but the easier decision in my opinion is to extend the lockdown, is it the right decision? I think no

We don't have journalism in this country. We have fanboys of whoever happens to be flavour of the month and never a contrary question asked. Just ask Jack Charlton.
