At least the police arrested these scumbags in England for the coughing in peoples faces thing. Hope the cops are stepping on their balls right now. Looks like they assaulted the 70 year old woman as well.

Anyone know what time NPHET meeting is at tomorrow? (Googled and searched boards to no avail)

They don't give a time for that - during the day. They'll comment on it at the briefing unless there is a need for a ministerial announcement. Based on how "pleased" they are with the market research l'd say a stern warning is all that will be delivered.

Was in work today. Office work and non essential work at that. Most of the other sections have been told to work at home or staggered hours. But my section had everyone in. All only a few feet from each other and doing full days. I just don't feel safe being in there anymore. Our boss doesn't care about his employees health. When we asked about staggered hours the response was there's no need yet.

That happens every December anyway.

So the UK are still not testing at the same volume per capita as Ireland then?

Only testing people admitted to hospital

I don't disagree with what you are saying.

You seem genuine. I'm sorry if I offend you, not my intention. There is evidence that it is airborne. It is a respiratory disease and other diseases like it are spread in this way. It is more infectious that the flu Ro number. Telling people that masks / respirators don't work when the COULD work is disingenuous. We don't need to know something with 100% certainty to make a decision. Otherwise we would never make a decision or get out of bed in the morning.

I've family who are healthcare workers. I was appalled at the level of PPE that were given to them. I did advise them to spend their own money in the interest of their safety. They did this.

As for going shopping. Why do we implement controls at all if there is no danger. You have reduce risk and break transmission chains.

Here's some things I would think are sensible given the risk. It's a lot of work but gives you an idea of why most people wouldn't get right, might sound mental but you asked.
don't go out if you don't have to.

if you do have to go out go to a supermarket when it is less busy

If you have a fp3 rated mask and or goggles. Wear them

Wear latex gloves if you have them but don't think you are invincible.

bring hand sanitizer in the car.

when you are shopping keep your distance as much as possible

only touch what you intend to pick up.

when you get back to the the car use the handsanitizer

stay in the mask as the shopping is essentially contaminated as are your clothes.

when you get home remove PPE in the correct manner. youtube it if unsure.

put clothes for washing

have a shower

sterilise shopping with disinfectant and or hot water and detergent.

I think most people are already doing most of those things. They are already stated in the public health guidelines. With the exception of PPE.

So, your answer to my questions is:

Employment of a Grade 3 Respirator for the public to use doing their shopping and latex gloves. Furthermore, to learn correct techniques for putting on and off PPE using YouTube for the uninitiated.

sorry, I dont understand. If the world continued with this lockdown status for a year, how would it endanger life?

Through the enormous economic damage, unlike anything you've ever imagined. Real dystopian stuff and wildly disproportionate.

And this is why MLMcD is, I'm afraid, correct.
Unsafe practices are taking place right across businesses that are open.
I mean, could they not have repurposed the WFH lots office space for people they deem have to come in.

Or mainly a social media whore looking for likes.
It's fcking despicable.
I'm not a violent man but by fck if I saw that or it happened to me I wouldn't be responsible for what I'd do.

As for those arsehats licking toilets (again for kudos and likes on FB and tik-bloody-tok) I hope they don't kiss their mama's with that mouth.

Yes, I am fully aware what SARS is. It's in the name after all! And I'm sure people remember the outbreak in 2003. Yes, it could possibly be airborne but not in the way we know factually and with certainty that diseases like measles are airborne.

This is the second variant of SARS, hence the name SARS-CoV-2.

Ah, saw Tommy Robinson was involved in something but didn't click on it for obvious reasons.

So complete aholes can actually do something good then!
