    What school is it?

    HSE are just laughable with this policy that they can't identify anyone. Whatever about an individual, the idea that you can keep a full school secret is just daft. Can no one in there think for themselves?

    Surely if we're serious about containing this we should close all schools for the next two weeks and have people work from home?

    So all health care professionals should work from home?

    My son goes to school in Bray and a different school (pres) recently came back from a ski trip. One of the lads in my sons class his little brother was on the ski trip with pres. If any of the pres students get Covid 19 you can be guaranteed there will be other schools tied up in it.
    Starting to consider keeping him home (but not convinced yet)

    It's not pres though, no other schools are affected.

    The parents of these kids are not isolated?

    This is my concern. Absolutely pointless isolating children without isolating the rest of the people in the house.

    Good idea sneaking out for a cigarette anyway. The mind boggles at the stupidity.

    That's obviously not what I meant, and I suspect you knew that before posting.

    Yeah the HSE letter doesn’t really read like a proper lockdown at all.

    All non essential staff who can work from home should I'd imagine the poster is trying to say.


    E.g. in my company no one needs to be in the office.

    That's 500 less people on public transport or commuting to the city centre

    The maximum strength of spirits on sale legally in Ireland is 40%

    If you want to make your own sanitizer spray, buy rubbing alcohol, it’s typically 70% isopropyl Alcohol and you could still be able to get it from a pharmacy Or you can order it online

    https://www.killerinktattoo.ie/killer-ink-1l-rubbing-alcohol-contains-70-isopropyl-alcohol?utm_source=google_shopping&gclid=Cj0KCQiA1-3yBRCmARIsAN7B4H3toJGSP2-zDO0ucoDIk8aJbjGNNXnSrEmKvBi1Rpi2W65rS_jHi6caAtjWEALw_wcB

    Just spray the Alcohol onto a tissue and use it to wipe your hands or surfaces.

    You've obviously not been to the Celtic Whiskey Store / Wine in the Green in Dawson street have you? Spanish absinthe available there at 70 and 85%.

    If you want to get into it, you got to get out of it. (Hawkwind 1982)

    You do one or the other - wash your hands with soap and water or use an alcohol based product when its not possible to wash your hands

    At home yes soap and water. But when using public transport etc etc ... these approaches can be useful if sanitizer is hard to find.

    Very strange move announcing it as a "school in the east".

    As if it wasn't going to be all over social media within 10 minutes of the texts being sent out :confused:

    They are simply trying to avoid a panic. If they can contain the outbreak to one school it is a massive result.

    A long term smoker going cold turkey wouldn't help matters either but yeah, nicotine alternatives would be a better option.

    Just shows how addictive those shticks are.

    Hope the poster gets well soon.

    Just to confirm the poster is being tested for COVID 19, has been tested?

    Actually quite unique insight potentially if true. Would the patient be allowed take pics or have cigs?

    Whatever though hopefully swift recovery.

    Why would somebody who is infected in an infected ward wear a mask.


    Any chance of unbanning him from the thread?

    People on the Irish Independent Facebook page are going into panic mode. I passed on some of my pearl of wisdom to put their minds at ease. Don't think it's working.

    Yep, even blue Smirnoff is 50% so I'm not sure what law they're referring to.

    If the HSE announced the school you'd have parents complaining they heard it through the media before they read the e-mail from the school and the same people would still be calling them a disgrace.

    To protect the medical staff? It's been repeatedly said masks are better worn by the infected to stop the spread
