    Their house their rules op, same as the code of conduct etc that agreed to when you signed up. Don't agree just don't attend, simple as.

    Eminently sensible email outlining an eminently sensible course of action and a great and innovative use of technology. And great to see the university taking their GDPR responsibilities so seriously.

    Sounds like you picked the perfect school to help you grow up.

    I remember Enda Kenny being called out a few years ago saying if only we could microchip travellers, why would they want to microchip us? Shure dont we all have mobile phones?

    That came after registration, there was no agreement to that before registration. They changed the rules. Its already failed in NUI Galway with the community promise, you had to sign before registration. That was legally unsound and the University had to withdraw it.

    They can change the code of conduct also at any time, as I said if you don't agree don't attend.

    You cant sign an agreement where the rules change. That defeats the purpose of a contract.

    Just one? ok. But he had asthma? Asthma can be very serious. I had a childhood friend who died from it. It is nothing to be taken lightly.

    Yes believe it or not, just the one, has a family, kids and friends. You obviously have no friends or family with any underlying conditions.

    400,000 people have Asthma in this country and its not something to be taken lightly. Around 30-40% of people are estimated to have BP issues in Ireland and a few dont even know it. Underlying issues are there in a lot of people, not just some small minority

    Refer to the John Hopkins graph. Hope your friend is ok on the mend.

    Death rate = percentage of people who contracted the virus that died. It does not mean the percentage of the population that will die. :rolleyes:

    Edit: Removed graph in quote, hate when people quote images. :)

    Dont they have to seek my permission?

    You give them your permission by downloading and using the App.

    I actually have several elderly relatives and they are fairly close to dying maybe 5 of them with three years at best. None of them got covid and they are going about their day to day business. I never said I took it lightly. I have one friend with asthma he is ignoring doctors and HSE advice, doing rounds of the park and going shopping. He would use the inhaler maybe twice a day. Wild horse wouldnt hold him back.

    There is a suggestion at the start that it would be automatic if it needed to used.
    The App is something else for tracking.

    I didn’t mention.....
    - Enda Kenny
    - Micro chipping
    - Travellers
    - Mobile phones

    So if we exclude these, your “retort/rebuttal reads

    “I remember being called out a few years ago saying if only we could, why would they want to us? Shure dont we all have ?”

    Which makes about as much sense as the vast majority of your posts.

    Would you not agree that having a mobile phone is much more sugar coated way of tracking people? That must have been said 25 years ago and look how it has come true today? And we all thought Edward Snowdon was mad.

    Actually they can, you can simply not attend if you don't agree with the new terms. Ask any smoker who was attending the college when it became a smoke free campus.

    Ok, thanks.

    ahhh Nope. 99.4% are recovered from it. I have an overactive immune system so it is not a problem. There is no 10% fatality in the population as predicted

    some one i know got it 2 times probably 3 but got tested 2 times
    also 20% get lifetime health problems

    Its a smoke free zone :eek::eek::eek::eek:

    Most of my friends were smoking on campus last year. I do not partake but I would like to think I had the option to smoke.

    Just checked. Its smoke free but that is in the buildings. The Campus certainly isnt smoke free either north or South campus.

    No. Do you know anyone who has actually died of covid without a preexisting condition?

    Stop spending so much time on conspiracy sites TBH.

    Starting in MU next week and delighted to see they're being proactive in their approach, I'll definitely feel safer on campus as a result.

    :D:D:D:D:D How do you think they are going to be "proactive" when a virus is about x10-9 meters and your mask filter will be x10-6 meters at best? You will be distanced 6 feet but a cough can travel for 40 feet?

    If you are going to come into contact with the virus you will but an app or piece of cloth wont protect you. You get it you get it you dont you dont.

    Any scientific evidence to back up your claims or did you pull them from thin air? Of course no one measure is going to fully protect anyone, I never claimed that, I simply said this measure will make me feel safer on campus.

    No, I absolutely would not.

    Nope covered Viruses last year using the Booker manual (ohhh burn).
    So how would a piece of cloth make you feel safer? I worked for Biomedical company before and they used to quote that statistic for the clean rooms.
    Would you rather be safe on campus or feel safe on campus?

    Edward Snowdon? Chelsea Manning, Julian Assange, wikileaks? Ever heard of them? You do know all your calls are being recorded? Your position is being recorded? Algorithms track what you are interested in?

    There is already strong evidence that wearing masks and adhering to social distancing has also significantly reduced the rate of influenza and other respiratory illnesses this year, not just COVID-19.

    *This is a chart of the rate of influenza out-patient cases in Taiwan with each year represented by a different line, dark blue being 2020.

    As for your comments about the Spanish flu, social distancing was also practised in various localities and shown to be effective even then. The chart below is a good example of that. Preceding that spike, Philadelphia threw a parade in support of the war. In that same time period, and within two days of their first known cases, the nearby city of St. Louis instead closed schools, churches, libraries etc., staggered work shifts and made public gatherings of greater than 20 people illegal.

    GCHQ, CSEC, ASD, GCSB, Five Eyes, CIA, FSB and throw in the The Ministry of State Security of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea for good measure. It’s a wonder you can sleep at night. Or maybe you don’t and that why you spend endless hours seeking the attention that you don't get anywhere else on an anon Internet forum

    So the Doughboys came back from the front and suddenly there was a spike in numbers. Later this number decreased? The dough boys were on the front lines some for atleast 2 years and then the came home and there was a spike in numbers?
