For all the lockdown scaremongerers predicting the impending widespread societal fallout among them huge increases in suicide
Japan sees a 20% reduction in suicide rates as people are less stressed due to time off school, more sleep, less commuting, and more time with family

One less aspect for you all to complain/pretend to worry about anyway

That’s completely wrong as much as I would like to believe it. There are 3 people in a Dublin ICU for attempted suicides already. I’m told it’s rare to have even one, let alone 3 at the same time.

Besides, it’s not even half time when it comes to the economic fallout of this. More misery is yet to come.

Which countries are these?

I think they’re referring to Wakanda, Westeros and Narnia.

People tend to hang around and touch everything in homeware stores. Especially Ikea.

Shopping right now should be an in and out thing.

In do the same when i'm food shopping, oh what is that? take it out and look at it, might put it back if i don't like it, i might pick up 4 or 5 loafs of bread trying to get the one with the best date on it, same for milk.

Not that hard to understand when you consider the lobbying power the horse racing industry has. Cheltenham being the obvious case in point.

Am well South Korea for one, taught that was fairly obvious

Its another 3 weeks of lockdown. A few garden centres and hardware stores open doesn't change that.

Whats the bets that we don't even move into phase 2 on time?

I think its time for Ireland to bring in some external help. We have no idea what decisions to make so we should ask for help.

South Korea hasn't gone into lockdown. It never was.

Ikea at the best of times long before Covid is a living nightmare of heaving bodies . Dead right to keep it closed

For the vast majority nothing really changes on Monday but sure we knew that when the plan was released. Phase 2 and 3 are really the only start of a meaningful relaxation

Anyone tell me how far it is allowed to drive to a Garden Centre on Monday?(They will be classed as essential,is that right?)

Mentioning you can buy things online and going on about how buying curtains isn't essential.

I don't want fecking curtains Heather. I want a desk so I can work from home effectively and not have everything piled on top of itself. IKEA's online service is a shambles as well. I'd be as well trying to make a desk myself.

Haven't been in it here but what's the difference between visiting IKEA, visiting Woodies or visiting some garden centre?

Hopefully we can move forward in 3 weeks time and not backward!

Construction going back is big boost.

The malcontents (the Gemma O'Dohertys and John Waters..), who care about no one but themselves, will be fuming but the vast majority accept the need for patience and caution.

And in another month do you reckon "da virus" will be gone? Or three months? Or six? When do you propose to re-open business or do you think we can continue forever paying welfare to over 1 million?

Agreed, and I would avoid IKEA for those reasons, pandemic or no pandemic. But for those exact reasons it would have made sense to allow them to open while we still only have a 5k travel limit. Extending it to phase 2 allows for a 20k travel limit and it’ll be even more heaving as a result. If a gradual easing in was what they were after they’ve completely missed the mark.

Did you not get a chance to read the phased re-opening plan?

Where are you getting the idea that Ireland has no idea what decisions to make?

Is their restrictions on construction, as in how far you can travel to work, for example I know lots of people who work on sites in Dublin but live in the west of the country

And who's going to keep building places that cannot be open or utilised? Or people can't drawdown a mortgage to buy it? Or because their job is still shut down? I'm going to blunt here but- Take your head of your arse and wake the fcuk up please.

Yeah, I don't see a lot in there at all having much effect although some of the amenities being open is great news.

Apparently horse racing is exempt from the need for patience and caution.

It's stuff like that that's going to wind people up. I can't go out to get a desk for myself to work from home, but fecking horse racing is important enough to push up through the stages.

For people following the restrictions being allowed to meet in groups of 4 and do outdoor exercise classes in 4s is a pretty big and encouraging change.
