Just need some clear guidance, although I believe the current travel restrictions end on the 29th March.

We might get some leeway on April 5th, but I don't trust dates nor the useless government plan (or lack of).
I can definitely tell you that people are absolutely fed up though and while weather has been atrocious lately, last Sunday was actually decent and folks were all over the place. Bunch of bikes on the road too...
We normally get a few days break after shitty weather and then the gards come back out in force and people calm down again.
Feels like living in north korea really....

Number of deaths, while terrible all together. Are a bit ridiculous... I was reading the other day that the average was 85 years old, and the top end of that average was 105. So... was the 'rona really the cause of death of was the poor auld 105 years old soul going to go no matter what???
No one wants deaths, young or old. But not sure how fair it is to keep adding to an already complicated situation, death tolls of people that were on the verge and would have sadly passed regardless.

How many people total have died this year v five and ten year averages? Don’t know but will look it up.
