Swann warns lockdown ‘not a holiday’

Ray Scott: They have done pretty well under Robin after a shaky start, when the forecast was 15,000. It’s been kept under a thousand, due to the public heeding their advice and washing hands regularly. Shame, though, they left the most vulnerable in care homes without protection.

Susan Mcgeown: We all have every right to be concerned. A lot of people have no regard for those around them. Family and friends could — and will — be affected by this virus. Sad that it may he too late by then. Stay at home if you can. Stop the spread.

Glenn Ross: What a pantomime of uncertainty of rules, direction, health advice, education structure and leadership. The Northern Ireland Government have been a shambles in this from the start.

Mark Win: Many people in key jobs (and, in fact, many others) have been working harder than they ever have, many putting their own health at risk, while many others swan about enjoying the lockdown, by not locking down. Absolute joke.

Stephanie Bloomfield: Rules now being ignored by so many who obviously think they are above and beyond any rules.

Cathy Counter: People need to wise up. This is not a holiday. Selfish people are going to cost so many unnecessary deaths. How would they feel if it was their parent, or grandparent, who dies because of their actions?

Paddy Clarke: Robin, Arlene and Michelle have done the best job they could. Many countries have done a lot worse than us.

Lynne Tweed: Get the grammar and secondary schools back early.

Diane Donaghy: The number of people on the Belfast to Bangor train today at 13.42 was unbelievable. No social distancing. They got off at Seahill and Helen’s Bay.

Grace Curry: Well, I personally think they have done a great job so far.

Barbara L : Most of them would be better back at school, or work. People living in coastal villages don’t want this.
