    Guys quick question.

    OH gas been told he has to come into work as delivering lime to farmers us an essential.

    Is this the case? Not sure I believe his boss!!!

    Farm work is essential so as a supply line it would be classed as essential

    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.

    People acting like it's airborne and you'll catch it if you go outside. Ridiculous.

    What if someone coughs on your car door handle while your on your walk

    Take him for a drive when you go shopping for food.

    Great, you risk picking up the virus shopping and transmitting it to him in the car on the way home , or perhaps you have a sink and hot water in the car

    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.

    Ive got an old PS4 here Im going to download Fortnite and play it with them,we can talk and have fun through that.
    Havent played computer in years :pac:

    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

    I agree fully with what your saying. I won't advise anymore.

    It won't stop me doing mountain drives or scenic drives etc. where I won't interact with a single person but yea I'll stop giving advice.

    Sorry.

    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.

    This one of the things I’m asking about.

    I need to go out tomorrow on an errand. Collect one small package from my sister’s house. I have to walk and will not be interacting with anyone.

    Is it now a crime to walk from one place to another?

    I’m the carer for my grandmother and I don’t want a Garda who has been interacting with other people coming up to me and potentially infecting me.

    Because everyone has the same idea and crowds flock to those nice scenic places meaning that people like my mother who live there can't even go for a walk around her own neighborhood for the hordes of thicks who let their kids run riot and invade her personal space with no parents giving a fcuk. And since kids are basically plague rats right now, she is trying to avoid them given her health issues.

    Why does this still seem to be something people are struggling with? It has been said and written down in black and white.

    STAY THE FCUK AT HOME!!!!!!

    How are people seriously still asking if they can go "out for a drive"?
    Is it seriously that hard for you to spend 14 days inside in order to help with this? What is wrong with people?

    FFS some absolute children about. Probably the most critical juncture we are at since WW2, the biggest crisis we will face in our lifetimes and some selfish arseholes can't abide by the guidelines for 2 weeks at the minimum.

    2K isn't really enough to get your heart rate up for long enough. I'll also continue going on my usual walks of 6 -8k. I'm in a rural location so unless hedges can catch the virus or give it, I should be fine.

    Selfish arses are determined to carry on without a care in the world. Zero patience whatsoever, the health of other people can go to hell because they must take in the sights.

    Get a grip! No one is going to spread the virus or catch it, going for a drive. Put your reusable shopping bags in the car and take the long route to the shops.

    FFS.

    2km on the radius then 12.56km on the circumference of the circle.
    2km on radius back.
    Thats 14.56km.
    You can run all you like within 2km of your home.

    What is wrong with certain people here? It's not rocket science just Stay Home - why the sudden need to F*uckin marathon run across the neighbourhood and far beyond...just stay indoors - keep yourself coronavirus free - nobody wants this, it could kill you, your friends, loved ones etc - the authorities are asking for two weeks you abide by a set of (let's face it, not difficult) requirements so that those of you on the front-line can get on with their vital work. (Without said marathon runner suffering a hamstring injury and further blocking the HSE)

    Stay safe all


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,942 ✭✭✭growleaves


    Exactly, you just dont know.

    But the same weirdo could break into your house and cough on you so maybe its best not to be at home.

    There's no way to be prepare for behaviour that's totally unpredictable.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 1,480 ✭✭✭bloodless_coup


    Why can't people just turn and run the opposite direction at the 2km point?

    I think joggers are tools but if unless they hassling people by getting in their personal space then what harm are they doing?

    If you touch your car and the car touches the road and then other people come along that road.

    It's passed via surfaces. How long it lives on them is not fully known yet

    FFS , it’s not aimed at you , it’s aimed at everyone

    , you may be the safest driver alive , never any accidents , the speed limits still apply to you

    They’d be more likely to get infected and do more infecting.

    I would imagine this is why.
