With every new restriction lots of peoples IQ drops by a large factor
God forbid they don't say you're not allowed out of your house except for food - roll on questions how am I supposed to do the shopping

Think people are been deliberately obtuse with the 2km thing. There are no measuring tapes. They’re literally asking us to just stay close to home.

And not pack out the Phoenix park, Glendalough, beaches, other parks etc.

It’s not so hard to understand.

Yeah the first person I spoke to after the announcement said, “well how will they enforce it”

I think most people will just do as they are asked!

Jesus, do people really need this spelled out for them?? Ffs. This past few weeks has been illuminating. I never knew there was as many thicks in this country as there are.

Assuming you are not an essential worker:
The whole idea is you stay inside all the time except to get food and medicine, and that should be limited to the absolute minimum.

You are allowed outside for air and your sanity but it must be brief and you must stay close to your home.

That is all. Is that not clear to everyone???

I know, perhaps read the post I was replying to? The person I was replying to seemed to think the 2km limit applied to shopping as well. I was informing them that this wasn't the case.

There is a large number of Irish people who straight think about how to break a law and get away with it rather than trying to understand what it's about it and complying. Ever notice how many gob****es will be up your hole if you drive at 50 through a village but you'll lose straight away once you speed up to 80 outside the village?

It's like in school or college - there are always idiots and you think, well eventually i'll move away from them and wont' have to deal with their sh!t - and you even see what they write on FB etc. But the problem now is that their actions are leading to people dying so it's actually now everyone problems that on one kicked the **** into them when they were in school.

According to that post earlier on the nurse died, by picking up the virus while treating others with the disease - so she basically died doing her job.

And yet on here tonight we have people wondering how the government are going to police the new rules - and saying they are going to give the 2 fingers to the powers to be and do their own thing.

There is no "2km" limit, where are you getting this from? You're allowed to exercise within a 2km radius of your home. Two totally different things.

Yeap, 2 pie r squared is an enormous area to run in.

No they will be open.
A good thing.

dont you know, anything people enjoy is not allowed, no running, no drinking etc

That is the way some people on here want things, if they dont like it then no one can do it and they seem to take a weird enjoyment out of this.

im still going for as long a run as i want btw.

You can run all the distance you want as long as you stay within 2Km of your home thanks

What's the theory behind it? Why are they more at risk?

If there's a medical / scientific reason then fair enough

It'd be racist, sectarian , xenophobic, and 57 varieties of isms and phobias if you didn't humour them boss.

Our microbial enemies will gain strength if we have a glass of wine with dinner.

One word: Responsibility. This isn't about how to get away with flouting the restrictions, it's about doing what's necessary to prevent the unnecessary deaths of your fellow citizens. Grow up!

Eh what? For what it’s worth I haven’t left my house apart from the odd isolated walk in over a week and my past posts with attest to that. I’m wondering who will actually be monitoring this, for those who do not respect the measures. Calm your tits ffs

How’d you do it before

I can't remember.

You're trying to make it seem like those in charge had everything under control! The facts are they have been behind on every decision they have made. They have been reacting to things happening instead of being proactive. We're high up the leaderboard of total deaths from this and it's not a leaderboard you want to be on.

We can only hope that this doesn't cost too many lives, that's all we'releft with now.

I'm not sure I fully agree, a lot of the measures that have been introduced would be impossible to enforce without buy in from the public.
I can speak for my own personal journey where I went from a few pints in a quiet pub is grand to I will gladly not go to the beach this weekend.
That is in the space of a fortnight. I think the vast majority of Irish people have accepted each phase as necessary and proportionate and therefore very good adherence as a result and more importantly over the coming weeks.
