The risk for me is that we have done all this and kept it under control. The economy can sort of survive this. If we need to go through all this sh!t again in quick succession, then fu(k knows the impact. I still woouldn't not be going anywhere near the parents or anyone close to being at risk.

In fact, even exercising within 2km of my own home I could enter the Free State as it is less than 2km from my house. But as I said no such distance limit exists so your post is entirely bogus and you should retract it immediately.

And right now (even although I have seen lots of people not giving a fu(k), generally the majority have. and thats been enough to keep this under control, but right now is not the time to be complacent.

Only potential risk factor for me is the trips to the supermarket but my parents are in the same boat with their trips to the supermarket and that risk itself is low if you take precautions. This will probably change as things open up more and there are more opportunities for me to get out of the house but at the moment I'd be happy to visit them given my lack of exposure over the past few weeks.

There won't be any issue with small gatherings here in the very near future, the point of limiting numbers is to ensure that people's interactions are with a reasonably limited no. of people so that contact tracing is possible.

We forfeited our ownership of the 6 counties in the north east of the Island when we voted in favour of the Good Friday Agreement. An agreement which was accepted by the majority in both jurisdictions. Now enough of that, back to COVID-19 and the related restrictions.
