Everybody is in the same boat and has lost jobs as well as missing people but it doesn't give you the right to disobey regulations set down for the good of all society.

How is everyone in the same boat? Even in my own home the four of us aren't in the same boat. Some folk have mortgages they are terrified they won't be able to pay. Others have already lost jobs with no sign of ever getting them back. I've a sister who has lost her business that she's put 17 years into. Next door neighbour is in his 70s. This cocooning is killing him. Talking to him over the back wall and he isn't right. He sound confused where a few weeks ago he was razor sharp. He actually said life isn't worth living, he can't sleep and the day is too long. Two doors up there's a family with two kids waiting for their Leaving cert exams and not knowing what's next. Across the road a family asking if their Dad will be rotated back from his tour with the army overseas and no one knows if he will get home. Tldr? All in same boat my foot.

(smug) Tony Holohan and FG with their threats to extend the lockdown 2. The seemingly never ending number of nee cases and deaths- we've been lockdown for so long now- if this is such a successful strategy then why are they remaining stubbornly high? 3. The seemingly relentless flying wedge of people who think this is some of strategy that is working and you're nuts if you don't blindly follow it 4. The lack of close contact with family, friend, work colleagues and even work clients has been really jarring on top of everything else 5. The travel restrictions which are so pernicious you can't even go for a drive and a walk to some place to clear your head
