Italy issued a nationwide lockdown on March 9, ordering its 60 million residents to stay at home. Schools, universities and all non-essential businesses were closed — with supermarkets, banks, pharmacies and post offices allowed to remain open. Travel within Italy was banned except for health reasons or urgent matters. People in Italy are only permitted to leave the house under certain circumstances, including: solitary exercise close to home, going grocery shopping or going to the doctor. They must print out a certificate at home declaring their reason for leaving the house, which will be checked by police. Those who violate the lockdown face fines between €400 to €3,000 ($430 to $3,227) or up to three months in jail.
The Spanish government declared a state of emergency on March 14, issuing a general confinement order for more than 46 million people. Non-essential shops and schools have been ordered to shut, as well as hotels and tourist accommodation. Spain also closed its external borders with its European neighbors. People are limited to only leaving their homes to go to the pharmacy and grocery shopping. Outdoor exercise is also banned, except for taking a dog on a walk. Hundreds of thousands of police and military personnel are enforcing the lockdown. Following their biggest one-day increase in deaths on March 28, Spain announced a toughening of the measures. All non-essential workers were told to stay home completely for two weeks until April 11. Starting on April 13, workers in construction and manufacturing were allowed to return to work, although other restrictions were extended until April 26.

Btw dont like to point this out and I dont disbelieve anything you said for a minute but you yourself just pulled a 'sick relative' card. Yeah medical experts sometimes get things wrong and yes they can be questioned. That said it's not 'blind allegience' to take evidence based information over someones rantings to be fair.

That and the fact that the outbreak here was later than in most other countries. It has been made quite clear the restrictions will be removed over time. But the screamers appently want it NOW. So no I'm not sitting inside my room but I'd suggest you get out of the basement and see the light for a change. Btw just to set you on the right track- it's not a comparison with WW2 and has nothing to do with 'lasting a day' during that war. For your information those who stayed at home lived under huge restrictions for years and got on with it without constant bitching. The analogy however has a lot to do as a comparison with a very small number of individuals who seem to believe part of the population is expendable. Sorry if some dont like being pointed out.

Most people have said nursing and care homes need to be targeted with better measures such as far better PPE, removing positive cases immediately and isolating them in a centre similar to City West, banning the movement of care staff between facilities and isolating care staff from the rest of the community as much as possible. This will be costly but worth it far more than sticking 1 million people on the dole to deal with a very concentrated issue in care homes. Others will have cocoon too.Sticking 1 million on the dole is not the answer. A short term lockdown was a good idea to give us time to come up with a better more sustainable long term plan and that long term plan should not include a highly generalised lockdown. As for your WW2 analogies they are tiresome at this stage. But if you do want to use one, try this - If American, British and Russian soldiers, decided to sit at home and listen to the radio rather than go out an fight and confront the enemy, where would we be now?The front line in this "war" is nursing homes, care homes and those with underlying conditions. These people need to be targeted for protection. That hasn't happened. And yes they have been thrown under the bus by a government who are more interested in stopping people going about their daily business than specifically helping those most at risk. Thousands of gardai to patrol checkpoints. 200 staff sent out to nursing homes in crisis. Says it all.

A medical expert messed up my wife's surgery and left her with permanent nerve damage. A medical expert presided over the Cervical Check controversy. A medical expert presided over Hep C scandal. A medical expert presided over the symphysiotomy scandal Medical experts are presiding over the trolley numbers. Yes of course listen to Medical experts, take on board what they say but this blind allegiance and look down attitude of some to people who question medical experts is nauseating and then when somebody is questioned they pull out the "dead relative" card.
