A coworker told me today that there is supposedly some emergency exercise in Ireland, and they would basically be locking everyone down due to fuel shortages. Would be the same restrictions that were implemented during COVID. Im not buying it, and also cant find anything about it on the web. Figured i would at least ask and see if anyone here has stumbled across anything like that.

That's a tiny European country. Those folks can just bike everywhere. Besides, they're irish. Buncha drunks that only shoot at each other for going to the wrong church.

Just left there yesterday and heard nothing of the sort. It would have definitely come up with my coworkers. Gas was plentiful as we drove around.

Awesome. Thanks for the info.

Wouldn't be a surprise though.

They were some of the worst when it came to WuFlu lockdowns.

Seems like an exercise with multiple scenarios. Who knows how close to reality they are to one of the exercised being implemented, but this could easily be standard what-if planning. Also, I'd assume it's not the exact same as COVID. Restricted from driving vs. restricted from leaving your home are 2 different things.

Considering I just saw a video from a friend in Ireland trying to avoid running over some lambs, I'm doubtful.

I'm here now. News to me.
