Out walking the dog this morning.

In the space of 45 minutes about 12- 15 joggers passed me.
Not one of them were coughing or spluttering.

Do you think they are ok?

Should I be worried?

For most of them it is probably the first time to go running in years.

I definitely see more than usual outside my place.

You can't have a family walk.

Don't be making up ****e. It was explicitly stated at the press conference you can go for a walk with your children.

As I posted on this thread last night, until yesterday I was getting in the car with my kids and driving out to deserted woodlands to walk in. We were in some woodland in east Clare yesterday and spent a couple of hours walking around and didn't see a single soul the whole time, apart from asmall water lizard and some frogspawn, who may indeed have souls, who knows.


Under the new regulations, we'll be restricted to the same pavements as a whole load of other urban dwellers asl well, and encounter far far more people with much less space to avoid them.


I get the idea of the 2km restriction, it's needed to stop people just going wherever they want, but it's a pain in that arse for us.

Do you have a garden. Some folks don't have that.

Just for a bit of perspective here: Let's say the average persons lives to be 80 years old them asking us to stay in our homes and restrict our movements for 2 weeks equates to 0.00048% of our lives so it's not a big ask in the grand scheme of things.

User name checks out, seriously though if it's actually 2 weeks then fine, if it's 3-4 weeks that wouldn't be too bad either. If it goes on beyond April then people are going to become extremely agitated.

Bear in mind a lot of people myself included have been adhering to the new measures already for more than two weeks.

Lads the sooner we use a bit of common sense and stop looking for clauses to get out of the 2km radius for a run or whatever the better.

Fairplay to him, when this is all over- I will definitely remember the people & businesses that helped and he very much falls into that category.

We have a country of a shedload of millionaires and some billionaires - these people need to put their money where their mouth is, like McGregor

I’m sure a lot of them have without going online to blow their own trumpets.

And the social distancing of 2 metres is really just a sop to enable continued construction. It is not the true scientific distance that prevents infection from aerosol particles. It has been repeated ad nauseum to keep sites open, keep money flowing for the fat cats who can draw up the plans and repprts at home, and if I see another effing PSCS poster that witters on about how this site practices social distancing I will be driven to dark deeds.

It would be good to get this antigen test out.

It sounds like my housemates have had it already, I left before they got ill but have not developed symptoms I'm glad to say.

It's going to be two months, like it is for me now sitting at home out of work because of it.

The people screaming Stay at Home and saying you can't go for a walk with the people you live with will be doing all of this stuff anyways in six weeks time when the novelty wears off.

no they dont, why should they? they pay tax like everyone else, way more than most people, it is up to our government to get us through this not millionaires.

I don’t think millionaires became millionaires by paying tax, they spend a lot of money to financial experts to find ways around the tax system. Most of them pay little or no tax. This is despite the fact that their children get to use our children’s hospitals, and they get to use the services of ambulances, police, fire brigade, schools, libraries and many other things that taxpayers fund for all citizens, including them. And not a shred of conscience from most of them about that.

Yup. (Though I haven't checked your sums!) Fcuk it if you were at home for a year it would be less than 1.5% of the average life.

I think the way so many have looked for workarounds or excuses for why the guidelines don't apply to them at every measure introduced during the pandemic has been the most disappointing part.

I thought Irish people were better than that.

The latest info from gov.ie:

to take brief individual physical exercise within your locality, which may include children from your household within 2 kilometres of your home and adhering to strict 2 metre social distancing measures

I think the exercise bit is a little confusing to be fair... It says you can have brief individual exercise and also says you can be with members of your household....

It's just me the husband and the dog....

Do we have to go separately or can we walk the dog together?

Both of us were arguing this last night, we each took it up differently, it wasn't 100% clear. I get someone can bring their kids but two adults same household?

I think the percentage you stated there is about 3 hours of their lifes not 2 weeks.

The message last need was that it had to be individual unless with kids, the message from the HSE today appears to indicate it's ok if within the same household.
Both insist on 2m distancing though so regardless you're not going to be allowed walk side by side.

I took it that family unit together but they want social distancing but the dog would love separate walks lol

I know it only applies to a lucky few, but the National Lottery are still insisting that prizes of over €15,000 can only be collected at their HQ in Dublin. Government should be leaning on them to change these rules. No point getting a nice windfall and then come down sick because you had to leave your house to come and get it thereby exposing yourself to risk.

Would have helped if you said it was from today.

I also think it’s because of the resources it’s taking to manage and police the amount of proof that were going to these places at peak times. There’s simply too many people with the same idea to go to typical places. Up until yesterday it was ok to do so but the volumes of people that can’t go work has massively increased now, there would have been even larger numbers gathering at these places. This also give gaurds powers to break up groups of teenagers. It’s not the teenagers fault they are out. At least this way it can be managed easier. It will be interesting to see what fines will be. The message is very clear now - it’s simply stay at home unless absolutely necessary - food, medicine, essential worker or caring for elderly or children.

Are fines the penalty for not adhering to the measures here in Ireland?

Surely not? However, please correct me if I'm wrong as I posted earlier about enforcement in other countries.

There is confusion on this!

The CMO (Chief Medical Officer) states you would have to be separate, whereas the HSE guidance published this morning, assuming you are a 'household;, says it's fine!
