Wtf ?

Well, I fully intend going to my holiday home before July. It's in the countryside with very little people nearby, much easier for social distancing during exercise than trying to negotiate crowded footpaths in the built-up area where I'm currently.

My current living situation is also not very pleasant, so there I need to get away after being cooped up here for 7 weeks. My mental health needs it!!!

Tell that to Gardai several times on your way there. I am sure the local's will greet you with open arm's too. I did not know you were different to the rest of us, sorry.

Genuinely cannot believe some of the posters on here. People complaining about the 'Blueshirts' choosing to prioritise lives over the economy? Really? Goes to show that you can never win. If they reopened everything and the numbers exploded you'd have the same gob****es on here banging on about R numbers etc. and how they made a balls of it.

Pathetic, really. Even now you have people saying they didn't shut the borders quickly enough, conveniently forgetting that it was Irish people coming back from abroad who brought it in. You can't refuse your own citizens re - entry, but if you tried then the same rabble would be up in arms about gubbermint interference.

Phase 5 will be starting August 10 - Pubs will be shut until then .
Another 101 days before I’ll have a drink if there’s any pubs left functioning at that stage

You can get drink in any of the major supermarkets....how do you not know this?

It is not all about you and your issues. Many people are suffering totally, like I am myself in various ways.

We have to make it a global issue.

But have to say the tiny funerals really get me.

And things change. This virus is new and un known

Yes they had a target but obviously things change and we have to adapt

I think these relaxation of restrictions are going to be very difficult to plan and to do.
Much more difficult than an all or nothing approach.
I hope there are sharp minds on it, who manage to deliver a clear and concise message. A message that the authorities and public can understand. With not much room for misinterpretation.

No, the current restrictions ran until Monday night, but come Tuesday if they act responsibly, socially distance, comply with good hand hygeine and limit their movements and contacts then I see no difference in them staying in their holiday home vs their regular home, provided they comply with the pragmatic advice designed to limit the spread.

So with that in mind, I won't be waiting until mid July to see the other half, it's been 7 weeks since I've seen them and held them, I've given my compliance, they've had their time, the deaths are down and community spread surpressed.

I shall be seeing them come Tuesday, I don't accept the further moved goalposts from the original Easter Sunday goal to this Tuesday and now to July, I've a right to see my spouse and I shall see them, I'd like to see a judge try and enforce these laws from stopping me seeing them.

Is this all just a thinly veiled

Perhaps, but if you've no customers you've no business. And if people are scared of getting a virus, they won't be a customer - even if you're open.

Shops opened in Germany this week and they're about 25 to 40% of normal business.

We're stuck until we can convince people it is safe from a health point of view.

Well it's up to each business to decide if they want to reopen when they're told. Now is the time for them to have the discussions with government etc.

Personally I'll be out and hopefully back to 90% normality in August, not going to hide in fear. I'll live my life and go back to whatever activities when they're allowed in each phase.

We're not enforcing these laws because we hope people will have the maturity to realise that:
1) The laws are there to try and protect us
2) If everyone did whatever they wanted, none of us would be protected

I know myself I will be a bit cautious for a long while about going out and about to shops and all that.

Don't want to bring this virus home.

I really don't know what is best now, but I suppose you go with your instinct and try protect your family.

Sure let's just make an agreement with the UK that they close their border with NI. How hard can that be?

The only real difference between our lockdown and Italy is we are allowed exercise close to home with members of our own family

Copy and paste everything else tbh.

As you said apart from the evident differences of exercise restrictions, theres also the banning of funeral services there. Then there is the requirement for a certificate for anyone leaving their residence for any reason - with those who lie on that document facing a jail term of up to three months or a fine.

Oh that and anyone who has been quarantined after testing positive for Covid-19 and “intentionally violating” the order to stay in their home - facing a prison sentence between one to five years.

Yeah as you said pretty much copy and paste here :rolleyes:

Most EU countries closed their borders in around the same time so you can't blame the government on this point.

Some of these EU countries have 200k cases and 20k deaths..

We are on the island. The natural barrier to any infection. Easy to monitor borders. the only problem is NI border, but I believe it would be much easier and cheaper to monitor NI border than the whole county national roads. OR could made an agreement with UK that they close the borders with NI.
