Garda Checks

"There’s going to be an increased presence of park rangers and gardaí in parks and public places to ensure the physical distancing is being observed. In Ireland since independence, we’ve always had policing by consent, rather than by coercion. I don’t intend for that to change. "

My neighbour suggesting keeping a shopping bag, with a few tins of beans & hold that up if you are stopped .

Remember the advice, treat everyone as if they have covid 19.

I thought that the advice was to behave as if YOU had covid 19!

Im in the middle of a house move ( I know great timing ) and the broadband installer is coming Monday.

Where Im currently living and working from home, is a 45 minute drive away. Will there be any issues if I get stopped? I'm thinking not, as all Im doing is literally opening the door for him, waiting in the car untill he has installed and thats it.

I would have thought something like moving house would be considered a valid reason for being out, especially if you were halfway through it at the time of the announcement. Maybe bring evidence of the house move in the form of a letter or some kind of documentation.

You will only be asked if they think you are taking the piss.

Most peelers know who all the piss takers are.

If you are a piss taker I would be terrified at this time. Stay at home.

The likelihood in a 1 minute interaction of infecting you, is pretty low, they can keep distance to a degree and ask Whatever question they need.

It isn’t like you get infected by being close to someone for a few seconds.

I now this was at the start of the thread but there is no scientific basis to this.

The myth that it takes 15 mins to get infected is based on contact tracing criteria.

Ie if you have covid they would contact trace anyone who you spent 15 mins with as apparently it’s more likely you can catch it.

I mean could spit in your mouth and you may get it or you can breath in my air for an hour you may get it? Who knows? Nobody really.

China wasn’t dousing the streets with bleach for no reason.

In that case what's the problem with people out walking ? If the Guard takes your id, license, letter of authority etc & hands it back to you there is real risk. The Guards are interacting with lots of people & won't be able to wash their hands .

They are issues plenty of sterile gloves

I've seen that quite a bit over the last few days. The complete opposite of the friendly approach advocated by Varadkar in his speech on Friday.

Well - based on deaths and growth , what have you come across that has closed down the country and has doubled in days ?

People get it from their reality , locked in their house.

They must assuredly are. Same as the ones used in hospitals or by paramedics.

I'm referring to disposable blue ones in case that's not clear, obviously the black winter gloves aren't sterile

there is a certain "type" attracted to the profession.

not all, but some and not that rare.

fair enough if someone is taking the piss but a bit of reasonable cop-on "should" also apply.

when the legislation for the fines etc goes through there should be some craic.

Why is society closed down so.

I mean - it stays on surfaces, paper - China was spraying streets.

When have we come across this ?

yeah, that name is misleading. For gloves to be sterile they would have to be individually wrapped in plastic and irradiated. the type that biopharmaceutical companies use when inoculating bioreactors and working in biosafety cabinets. they cost a fortune.
Any gloves I have seen in hospitals (the green and blue one) are in a box a probably 100/200. Once that box is opened the whole lot are no longer sterile. plus, the box is normally made of cardboard. They couldn't be sterile if thats the case.

From a purely 'most contagious' point, the common cold is worse as is the common flu.

The reason this is so bad is because we could all get it at the same time inundating the system with cases and it is more fatal.

SARS, Smallpox, Mumps, Chicken pox. These are all more contagious. measles is incredibly contagious. The R0 for covid19 is approximately 2.5. For measles its around 18!

Oh quieten down Mr argument.

The gloves are vacuum packed and have been sterilised. The name is not misleading. These are the gloves used by medical professionals to examine and treat very ill people in infectious and possible contaminated areas. Most labs as well.

Yes, there are non sterile as well. We are issued the sterile or at least now we are. I don't recall reading the box in detail.
