One of the worries must have been people going to beaches, parks etc over the weekend and how they could control it, otherwise they would have given notice, left it till Monday

No one was expecting those elderly people in Spain to die of neglect either.

China updated today with +54 new cases and +3 new deaths.

According to the Chinese government ALL 54 cases were imported, meaning if true China could well be heading for 0 new cases shortly given they've now banned international travel into the country.

Avoiding to the Chinese, the Tiananmen square massacre never happened either so totally believable.

People here seem to be forgetting that the vast majority of people will hear these restrictions and automatically stick to them without any need for enforcement.

Absolutely heartbroken and sickened tonight by the selfish a**holes on here who are thinking getting in their stupid runs/needless visits are more important than protecting my elderly ill parents and parents in law ( I have not seen them in ages and am terrified I may not again) from something they could never fight and all the other of thousands in the same position.

I work in critical services and have family in health care. We continue to go work everyday/night looking after you and your family. We leave our kids behind everyday and go out there to try and help those who need it

F**k you pathetic individuals

Stop now and dont be so dramatic.

The govt has endulged and enabled these people by announcing yet more half arse measures. Direct your ire at them.

Phone a Garda station or ask them on twitter. How the fcuk are randomers on teh interwebs supposed to know the intricate details of enforcement of a policy that's just been announced?

“ you” are included because it’s a generalised regulation to attempt to slow the spread of the virus into the community , ie into homes.

Hence the requirement to essentially stay at home

I find it deeply disingenuous people trying to find loopholes here

Probably better if a certain cohort are - ffs it's two weeks not a life sentence

If all the people infected now only infect people in the same household then we are stopping the infection in it's tracks. I highly doubt it will be 2 weeks but I would rather a month of this than 3 months of thinking who has it

snoopboggybog

What I'm reading here and on facebook is mind boggling.

Seriously like I thought we were an intelligent nation.

Stay at home and use common sense to stop the virus spreading.

The disease has become a global pandemic in the space of 3 months. But you're right. It probably spread from people staying indoors away from others.

What's the difference between walking 2km from your home vs driving somewhere nice and secluded and going for a walk, like up a mountain.

Half arsed , short of imprisioning everyone in their homes , I fail to see how this could be made more severe without causing extreme hardship, lockdowns didn’t occur in wartime

Stupid question but are you allowed to go for a drive and stay in the car or is that against the rules? The auld lad need to have a look around to see everything is ok or he'll go spare but he's in no shape to leave the car regardless.

HOw can you infect someone by being outside?

Well lets see, what if you are an asymtomatic carrier of Covid and you cough after a run or walk not realising. Well it can hang in the air for up to 3 hours and possibly infect someone waling through it.

Thats one suggestion.


No you can probably hike the mountainsor go for a run or drive, or walk 500 miles or cycle wherever b, ut all you are doing is illuminating yourself as a prat.

You are being asked to restrict your movements for what is necessary so people like me immunosuppressed, my dad cancer, my relatives with CF or other lung conditions who could die and will probably become ill if unlucky, dont come in contact by accident with you or someone in your company and catch covid.

You are being asked to sit on your couch or whatever to help stop spread. DOnt be a prat about it.

So are the Guards going to be stopping people asking where they’re going or how exactly is this going to be policed? Is it just up to us all to comply and then Guards will intervene when measures are clearly not being adhered to? What’s to stop Dave saying he’s going to Tesco to do his mother’s shopping 5k away and then stopping on his way home for an hours run. Who is actually going to be monitoring this?

They’ll hope that most people will respect the rules. Most will I’m sure

We had our chance for this sort of approach but last weekend showed that a minority of people cannot be trusted to be reasonable. You'd have no guarantee that 10,000 Dubs wouldn't also rock up to your mountain for a bit of fresh air at the same time.

Just use your common sense, if he's not interacting with anyone will be fine.

If he's driving 20KM and going into different shops even though there's one a KM from his house then no its not okay. If he interacts with even a single person then no its not okay as well.

Seriously people just use common sense.

New York has a new high of 7,000 new cases and 138 deaths (up from 100 yesterday) so far recorded for Friday.

US is epicentre now.

Italy, France, Spain and Switzerland seem to be levelling off as far as confirmed cases, probably expect Italy to see a fall off in new cases early next week and the others to follow probably week after.

US looks like its going to have an explosion in expotential growth. Chicago, Detroit and LA look like they could be at NYC level in a few days.

I was already resigned to the fact I wouldn't see my little fella. His mam is diabetic so even before tonights restrictions we had decided it was a bad idea. Even when the 2 week lockdown ends, if it ends after two weeks, I'll likely still not see him, too risky. Video calls and plenty of them. Will try think of a few games to play over a video call, make the most of it.

That’s exactly the problem , common sense isn’t common , the government has asked you to STAY AT HOME , except for essentials like food and medicine ,

Why can’t you see that. It’s not about an individuals responsibility , because that was “ last “ week , this is no basically a directive to shelter in place
