You can reach out to people ring them, text then, Skype them, play video game online with them, if they are within your 2km zone a hello through the window and a wave could do wonders. We are in this together

It's not JUST elderly relatives that will die and get sick and die from other issues IF we didn't have this level of a lock down. Many more people would be sick, in hospital, in ICU and dead from this disease and if the hospitals were to be overwhelmed many more people would die from other illnesses for a variety of reasons. While the current situation isn't ideal there's no food shortages, no energy shortages, generally, no major money shortages (yet), the weather has been good and the restrictions aren't THAT onerous in comparison to what could happen should the virus take hold.There probably will be some loosening of restrictions over the coming month, but large gatherings are gone for at least 6-9 months, social distancing is in for the long haul and internation travel is/should be off the agenda from the vast majority of people. That's unfortunately what has to happen. Kids are generally very resilient - their lives wont be "ruined" (in general) as a result of this, not in globally relative terms anyway.

First it was Varadkar, then Harris, after that it's Nolan and sometimes they pick on a poster from boards...it's literally a comedy club at this stage.

You might not feel worried or threatened by this pandemic but elderly residents of your community might. It's 10 more days at home. Grow a pair and get on with it

martingriff wrote: » Of course people care about people mental health and the economy (there own jobs) but they also care about not letting this get out of control and another lockdown having to be done. As for people mental health there is loads someone can do. Ring people, plenty of apps to facetime, Skype, of there with your 2km radius give them a wave and hello through the window. I be concerned about domestic violence also but again people can help by reporting anything they hear or see
martingriff wrote: » No it doesn't. Just because you can not be in front of someone does not mean you can not be social. My family have a Whattss app group and we chat daily. So have I one with ones I work with. 1 of them is home and is scared stiff due to an underlying health issue but I call and we talk every day. I take part in discord chats come here to see what people are doing. So you can still be social just in different ways. You just have to think
trapp wrote: » That is debatable. It sounds terrible to say but how many would willingly give up their jobs and become dependent on the state to save an elderly relative for another year or two? And how many of the elderly relatives would, if given the choice, see their grandchildren's lives ruined to keep them alive for a little while longer? Everybody dies my poor man, it's the one certainty in life that none of us can avoid.

We don't need lattes or to go to bowling alleys. The economic point is debatable. Most businesses are pretty happy at the moment with government paying their workers and shielding them from eating the costs of vastly reduced business, they certainly wouldn't appreciate that being removed until we reach a point where the majority feel confident to mingle in public again. In terms of the national picture, a single lockdown with a steady recovery after is in all of our best interests. A lockdown - open - lockdown ping pong game serves nobody. Not to be callous but in terms of mental health that's an issue for you to deal with. It's a pandemic, it's not a happy time and most people are going to feel the effects of it. If you're only bemoaning boredom and quality of life then I think you're fortunate it's not much worse to be mourning relatives in isolation or fighting for your own life.

He does seem good at what he does in fairness but do they need to be centre stage every night? They are giving advice, not orders or at least they should be giving advice not orders.

That guy used to be a serious journalist, as difficult as that is to believe. These days he has a show filled with contributions from “journalists” from the likes of journal.ie. On the other channel we have a bankrupt ex bookmaker, ex Fine Gael TD, no credibility whatsoever. And as for RTE... turn it on tonight and you have 600k per year Tubs “sincerely” reminding us yet again what we must do. It’s nauseating. Tony H is nailed on for a Seanad seat. All that cervical cancer business is a mere distant memory for him.

We are in this together it is not crap it's not just me me me. Your right after this there will be changes. You can either get up and do something (within the confines of this lockdown for now) or just moan and say poor me. Try the first one
trapp wrote: » Oh great. I've lost my job and all my social outlets. We're heading for a recession in the midst of a global pandemic. But playing a video game will help. Dear oh dear oh dear my poor friend. Also the idea that we're all in this together is a load of crap. When it's over life will be very different and some will be a lot better off than others. Wake up my poor man.
