The queues are because most shops are only letting a few people at a time in

They've been doing that for a while. It doesn't explain the amount of people shopping at the same time. They will spread it.

The queues will be gone after the weekend, once the missing chromosome brigade calm down.

Guy, I'm going to disagree with you here. People need to use common sense and cop on.

We know this is going to get worse, we don't have the ICU capacity to deal with the expected demand and they're building temporary mortuaries.

Some of the people who will die from this will likely do so because they can't get the specialist treatment they need, rather than not responding to it - think about that. The building of temporary mortuaries tells us this won't be just a few unlucky people.

We all need to follow the updates and guidelines, watch online if you can't access RTE as someone said not everyone can.

Now, do people seriously think they're expected to starve to death if they live more than 2km from a shop? Or that they can't make a solo trip in their car to a cheaper shop further away?

We've have 2 posters here attest that the panic buying morons were out again in force, and ignoring social distancing guidelines while they were at it.

TA - lack of basic common sense and I really don't care if I'm slated for this. It's time to cop on and the speech last night was very clear, apart from the changes to what are deemed essential businesses. They're available now.

I don't disagree with most of what you say, I saw the panic buyers myself this morning when I was on my walk. I went by an Aldi, Lidl and Supervalu between 8-9 this morning and the car parks were near full with big queues of people waiting to get in the doors.

The point I was making is if someone asks a question then the question can be answered without being snarky. Some people in life are very sensitive to that kind of stuff and take it personally, internalise it even. There is a time and place for bluntness and even snarkiness but I think last night wasn't that time. They said themselves that they are isolating and disinfecting everything, they are being careful.

People aren't rational when they are scared, maybe they didn't fully understand what was said, maybe they didn't see the news but were on Boards so asked the question etc...
The bluntness and snarkiness should be directed towards people jamming up parks, beaches and supermarkets in my opinion, not someone just asking a question on a web forum.

We humans are so damn complicated and yes praise be for the internet

I only mentioned this here last night but I haven't physically seen anyone bar passing strangers in a month now with no sign seeing anyone anytime soon. I like my alone time too but this is perhaps a bit too much of it, the mind starts to wander to some mad places being alone too much I think. I am talking to more people than ever these last few weeks with all the media we have but still not actually being around people in so long is....different.



Still shouldn't complain too much, I get to walk around the apartment in the nip and poop with the bathroom door wide open. That to me is the very definition of freedom. I am very lucky really.

Many people cannot get RTE on their TV ? I am sure you are right but I wouldn't have realised that ??

All we have is Netflix, Amazon and now Disney. No saorview box or aerial. There is an RTE iPlayer app but it has not worked for a number of years and even when it did work it was often unwatchable.
The speech was made late enough last night at bedtime for kids so between putting kids to bed and cleaning up it is not beyond the realms of possibility that a person may not have looked at the issue in depth until this morning.

9am has people here sneering at them :mad:

People mixing up the words "steal" and "rob" e.g. "we robbed some sweets". No: you stole some sweets when you robbed the corner shop. People and places are robbed, things are stolen.

Seriously? It's well established that you can shop outside the 2km rule!!!!!!!!

Have you read anything about it or just jumped to this conclusion!!!!!

Well don't I feel foolish! Leo himself had to clarify that traveling more than 2km for shopping was allowed, it wasn't made clear in his initial speech last night. I know it's the wrong thread, but I'm more than trivially happy not to be in isolation with someone like you. Thanks for your valued input. :rolleyes:

Jebus, who'd do that? (Film it and send it on, that is) Surely the thing to do is pull your own blinds down and MYOB. Unless he was deliberately being an exhibitionist. In which case I'd still pull my blinds down and let him carry on.

I think envy is wanting something whereas jealousy isn't always connected to things. You can feel jealous of your partner having opposite sex friends and you can be envious of your neighbours new car.

https://www.diffen.com/difference/Envy_vs_Jealousy

The main difference between envy and jealousy is that envy is the emotion of coveting what someone else has, while jealousy is the emotion related to fear that something you have will be taken away by someone else.

You can also be envious of someone's relationship, or someone's partner, for instance.

When I was a Garda, that was a TA of mine! Get a call from someone 'I've just been robbed' and they roaring down the phone at you. Try to get a description of the suspect and get yelled at further for not knowing it's actually a burglary and happened while they were out.

TA'd that I bought Dreams on the PS4 earlier today and I'm not yet a world renowned games developer.

Even your personality will determine how you cope, the more extreme introverts may thrive on the solitude, while extroverts will wither.

It's a long road ahead of us, at least we have phones and the internet. It's not the same but we can still keep in touch with others.

The marvellous Flann O'Brien said, in the epigraph of The Hard Life, "All of humanity's problems stem from man's inability to sit quietly in a room alone".

That will be tested a lot nowadays...

Vita nova

People who don't crush rubbish before putting it in the bin. The indoor bins need to be emptied at least twice as often and the outdoor bin is regularly overflowing before collection day. Often the people doing this aren't the ones that empty the bins and replace the liners.

notsoyoungwan

A friend of mine who always had a tendency to be a bit needy and ask for clarification on blatantly obvious things, is really outdoing herself these days. She is the type to post on Facebook or our group chat asking “anyone know what time Tesco closes at tonight?” in normal times, or “how long does it take cook a chicken?”, instead of googling it herself given that she was on a device with internet access.

Anyway, Leo’s speech wasn’t even over on Friday when she started “omg how far is 2km? In miles, like? Can I go as far as the shop?” , followed by “Will the pharmacy still be open?” and now today it’s “can anyone think of something healthy and filling I can eat?”.

This woman is a reasonably well-educated intelligent woman but sometimes I just despair of her.

I feel like I should explain... ..because it was sorta funny.

Some woman goes to the window to film everybody clapping for the NHS at 8pm, and pans down to yer man one apartment down and two over giving himself a hand shandy on the couch with his laptop in front of him. His living room kinda sticks out, and it looks like he's closed the front blinds but not the side ones. She narrates something like : 'Just going to the window for 8pm for the applause, and there's this guy at it again. ****s sake!' From her tone she can see him hoisting his own petard every time she looks out her window.

I know. I mean I do have things at home to entertain me - my video games and all that, but I normally break that hobby up into portions so that I can do other things as well (I have a low attention span) and the most exciting thing I can do to break it up is hang a washing out, or go on Just Eat for the 50th time.

If I liked my job before this started, I will run to my job when I start back. My punctuality record will be off the chart when this is all over
