    The scapegoating students pissed me off a lot, cause there was no way in hell things were gonna run normally, but the students were still pressured to move to the various places.

    They were told in June, yeah get some accomodation, because we'll be running a mix of online and on campus lectures, the Friday before things start again, nah you know what we'll shift it all online instead, screwing everyone over in the process.

    It's shambolic beyond belief.

    The amount of student house parties in Cork and Limerick is astonishing, with classes on line l do wonder why so many still move to city digs, it is cheaper to stay living at home

    Everyone of all ages just needs to act responsible, take care and stay safe

    Well what were they expecting would happen, when ordering thousands back into universities & IT's without so much as a clear plan. Not to mention international students who've also been shafted. Can't go the pubs, buy drink from an off license and word gets out. Pandemic or not. We humans are social animals after all.

    Sure yeah, it's cheaper to stay at home, but what if that isn't an option available?

    What should've been done, was a island wide decree that ALL universities are to be online for the foreseeable future, which in itself presents it's own can of worms eventually..

    As for everyone of all ages needing to act all responsible, all well and good in theory, in it's execution not so. Not to mention those who think this is all one big scheme would be screaming about rights being impeded or something.

    It's been botched from the beginning.

    Yeah cause stricter enforcement will really help the situation, and not freak people out with worry even more.

    I think too many people are just thinking about themselves and think they’ll be fine so it doesn’t matter about others.

    I don’t think there’s any one group to blame as I’ve seen or heard young and old not adhereing to best practice to keep it away

    There is no easy fix too this or end in sight and I can’t blame people for getting frustrated with the whole thing

    Given the hames the government made of announcing back to school plans most students were probably tied into their rental agreement.

    Online classes should have been announced ages ago instead of this folly notion of in-class attendance.

    There's a fairly decent Scooby Doo movie out Jayk, the lads do have it on here. It has Elvira and Bill Nye in it, and Matthew Lillard returns to voice Shaggy.

    Naturally the US election is around everywhere atm, don't know much about it all but seems a Biden win is the most positive outcome but he is pretty old. Maybe we might get the first female president earlier than expected

    One thing i noticed was all the celebrities who say they will leave the States if Trump is re elected ??? Will they ****

    I see him as the type that if he was fired from an office job, would delete databases before he leaves.
    Think he would need to be watched closely over the next couple months

    I'm not anti vaccine but can they say if any side effects this early on? Would probably wait a while unless absolutely necessary.
    Also doesn't seem to specify if this is one and one(or 2 in this case) or if it would be annual like the flu vaccine.
    I assume high risk cases would take priority, so would be waiting anyway
