I am keeping a record of activity in my permitted zone of activity should the authorities need the information.

Ah now, that and "pulling back the curtains to let him know I know"

I see some schools in Denmark have gone back this week:

Some fresh air, an hour or two offline, and a nice cup of tea with a biscuit would do most people on this thread a lot of good.

Stop following the joggers and licking the road after they've gone by and you'll be fine!

I wouldnt mind if they extended the lockdown for another 5 weeks, just to see the whinging and absolute crys outta the whingers on here 3 weeks of lockdown and some people are just determined to whinge there way thru it.

That's just the problem, though. A lot of people can't get fresh air safely at the moment. If I could have a good hike through countryside or up a mountain, I would!

This is really fcuking weird. This lockdown is really showing the bullies, snitches and curtain twitchers for who they really are.

If someone is having a party or otherwise ripping the p1ss? Sure, report them to the guards. If someone is just trying to get some exercise for their mental and physical health and has jogged a couple of km outside where they're meant to be? Mind your own bloody business tbh.

It's really creepy and strange that you've even noticed.

As long as he's on his own, it doesn't matter whether he lives 50m or 5km away.

I take your point about the the rule, but it's is badly thought out and badly implemented. It's designed to stop people meeting up, but it makes no difference. You can have big meetups within 2km, or go 5-6km, stay away from everyone else, and be fine.

No harm in that. Would still recommend the fresh air and a bit of time offline.

I think this thread has run it's course, it's basically the same as the main thread but with even more petty squabbling and point scoring. Some posters need to get out for a walk.

On topic I believe some restrictions will be lifted on May 5th, even if it's a few small ones just to show that there's some sort of plan in place.

People seem to enjoy the point scoring and petty squabbling they spend hours everyday at it, i dont see the harm in it let em off..

Most likely allowing more shops to open. Anything that promotes economic trade will be prioritised. Also secondary schools (prioritising Leaving Cert and Junior Cert sudents).

Just spoke to a friend in Dubai. They’re on a full 24-hour lockdown and have been for two weeks - only allowed out with a dedicated pass once every three days for the supermarket.

Now that is intense.

Maybe factories and construction or something along those lines

For the record I'm basing that on absolutely nothing

Sigh.

You do realise not all of us live in the arse end of nowhere?

I'm in a city where up to 1 in 7 people are suspected to have covid. I can't walk down my own street without coming into contact with dozens of other people, some of whom are still coughing without covering their mouths or panting in everyone's face as they jog on the pavement.

But, sure, tell me I'm exaggerating, yeah.

You are exaggerating, you can certainly go outside regardless of the city, its not nuclear fall out....plenty of parks in london.

I read yesterday that cocooning is advised rather than mandatory. Does he have underlying health issues? If not, an early morning or late evening walk when it’s quiet might be good for him.

I’m seeing lots of over-70s out and about myself.

Tbh I find all the repetitive trite comments such as “how hard can it be to sit on your arse and watch Netflix?” or “your grandparents fought in the war” etc etc absolutely infuriating. You can immediately tell who hasn’t an absolute clue what they’re talking about when they spin one of those lines.

Given that i responded to a poster who mention the Netflix part, with a part about people have fought in wars etc, i'm guessing that i'm one of the people your aiming this at.

No one in this thread, not you not I, not anyone has a clue about this virus - so what gives you the right to say you can immediately tell who hasn't an absolute clue what they are talking about?

Your worried about your kid not getting back to school anytime soon, yet there are people worried on here that they might not see a loved one every again because they are in a nursing home - maybe some perspective required?

No underlying issue thankfully . At the moment he is really busy in the garden thankfully and getting lots of exercise that way .
I agree that if he needed to exercise he is well aware of distancing etc and could walk around our area

Could imagine lads on here be acting the same if there was a nuclear fall out - but we have to save the economy and we can't stay in "lock down" for a few more weeks....

Anyone who wants it can stay indoors, self assign the pass & enjoy if it appeals so much to you.
