It's genuinely cringey how attention seeking you are being. Have you nothing else going for you in your life?

Questions to those of you who joined the hoard today in the supermarkets

You do release you increased the likelihood that you might have caught this virus by going to a place full of people.

What is the rational in your brain?
Do you think the virus hasnt arrived yet or something?
Are you mentally deficient?
Are you a moron?

That’s another thing with working from home people need to understand.
Even those working primarily on computers or office based have massive security issues re remote working on certain networks.
Certain security policies will only allow access to networks directly and for good reason.
I can only imagine a limited number of professions where working from home is feasible

Any decent company will have provisions in place for their staff to work remotely whether through VPN on their work laptop or something like Citrix on their personal laptop where you can't transfer across personal information.

Anyone in a decent company should be able to work remotely if their role if office based.

Doesn’t this all feel so surreal?

I feel like it is a nightmare I can’t wake up from.

listening to Simon coveney on prime time would make you sick. Trying to sound like a veteran epidemiologist whilst dismissing experts sitting feet away from him. Stick to making a shambles of housing Simon, you leverett!

Also is it me or are the HSE only recruiting "experts" with glasses and beedy eyes?? are the also trying to "impression manage" as though we have stereo typical scientists on the case. One such "nerd-alike" crumbled to bits when cornered over protocol regards testing, the squirming and shyte talk was off the charts!

Can I ask, if it lasts on hard surfaces for so long (up to days), wouldn't money which is kept often in pockets and can be moist and at body temperature, be a breeding ground and also a great medium for transfer which dint't fit standard transfer in the community? also the sharing of notes common "notes" / devices for the use of cocaine snorting and the likes?

Personally I thought Simon Coveney cane across very well on prime time, and everywhere else I’ve seen him talk on this issue.

To answer your question, no, money notes can’t act a a breeding ground for viruses. Viruses can only replicate/multiply in living cells, so they won’t replicate on sweaty notes, dirty counters etc etc.
Inanimate objects obviously can be contaminated, but the viral won’t replicate on it.

Yes. Use contactless, cash is dead.

you're still handing your card to another person in many cases, not all but many.

I just think this is a way to pass it on, by handling cash..they say not one note is without a trace of cocaine!! on that basis, give it weeks and the same can easily be said for Covid no?

The government is probably handling this in as staged and phased a fashion as a democracy can get away with.

I wonder when the scobies will start acting up, though, ala Beast from the East.

Banks will do this. I’m not sure it suggests we are fecked, again hospital and test numbers will do that. Banks and utility companies rolling back on bills to help could be part of our strategy. If people don’t have to pay them for a few months nobody can really complain about needing to work. Also boosts what allowance people with covid are getting as less bills.

I believe Everything over the next 2-3 months is about keeping people away from people. Economy, work etc doesn’t matter, we all have to just suck this up and go with it. I’m self employed and don’t know how this is going to pan out but I think after a few months we will just have a new normal. Also think for maybe 2 years ,this might be a weird period for us, particularly if there are multiple waves.

Has anyone talked about Katie porter yet? Apparently the head of the CDC in the States has the authority to release federal funds so that getting tested and treated in a national health emergency is free.

So Katie porter, a congresswoman, grills him until he agrees to trigger this power, which means everyone in the US will be able to get tested, and if positive, get their treatment for free.

This is monumental, not least because the CDC guy is a Trump appointee.

This will protect all of. It may prevent the US beaming a basket case that keeps reinfecting the rest of the world.
