I work for the IT of a company that's trying to get a lot of people who don't regularly work from home working from home.

There is far more to it than just installing something like TeamViewer.

Believe me.

I empathise massively. There is a culture of it in some departments in my company, mine included luckily, but the utter sh*te I'm getting from people who aren't used to it is ridiculous at the moment. I've a toddler at home but myself and my boyfriend share responsibility depending on our days, this is clearly communicated to my team in advance so everyone knows what's feasible or not.

Having said that, I don't blame the individuals. Our infrastructure in work is well equipped and set up for this, it's just one of the section managers doesn't allow it in the same way as others do so people working in those departments don't receive the same level of trust or flexibility as others do. My manager would never have hired me if she didn't trust that I don't need supervision. It's now apparent that working from home is a skill that they should have been encouraged to develop and that's the section head's fault.

I’d say a crow wouldn’t land on the street and his personal details, including special dietary requirements if any and next of kin details are entered in the diary.

It wouldn't surprise me if you were one of the simpletons in that queue for the chipper in Howth.

How would it make much difference? Regardless of the death rate, it is crippling the healthcare infrastructure of some of the most developed nations in the world, it would imply that the mortality rate is not all that low. If it was 100 or 200 times lower than originally thought, then the more dangerous seasonal flu would cause more damage to the european healthcare infrastructure every year

Of course it would make a difference if a 100 times more people had it, it would mean the amount of people needing hospitalization would be dwarfed. How could this not be a good thing.

Tesco are asking all fit and able bodied people to stop overloading their home deliver system so those who actually need delivery won't have to wait a week for it.
People looking for home deliveries when they can easily go and get it themselves are just being selfish.

How would Tesco even know any person or families individual circumstances?

Societal structures similar in aspect to Italy are at play here as well unfortunately, ie, alot of young Spanish adults live at home with their parents. Spanish youth unemployment being very high wouldn’t help either. Younger people who maybe just have a very mild infection by and large are easily passing it on to older relatives as a consequence.

Wont it be similar in Ireland then? A lot of 20 and 30 somethings (sometimes with their own kids) still living at home with their parents

For anyone looking for additional information on pandemic's, what causes them etc. there is an excellent documentary on Netflix called, funnily enough, pandemic.

Made recently and scarier than a glass of milk.

Ah come on!! The poster was only highlighting what everyone knows - certain elements of society couldn't give a damn about social distancing - if I lived on her road I'd be fuming at the morons living around me. Most responsible people at the minute feel a heightened awareness of what people around them are doing as it could impact on themselves and their families. That's not "curtain twitching" as you call it.

That's not fair. Multiple posts about ****e, without your castigation, and here someone is pointing the reality on the ground and you go on the attack.
The mounting problem is -will we be able to point out this out to these idiots, with risk of confrontation- when we can see where the system is breaking down through this activity.

This is from RTE News TODAY and not some outdated information from two weeks ago.

Generally, you need to be 15 minutes or more in the vicinity of an infected person, within 1-2 metres, to be considered at-risk or a close contact.

Why are people who need to get out to have a walk made feel like criminals?
I was on Dollymount beach on Sunday and every group, mostly families, kept to themselves and well away from others. Everybody I saw was being very responsible.

A new virus stepping in. It's reported in china. It's said to be more dangerous than Coronaviurs.

I'm surprised at the amount of "IT Experts" that haven't heard of Teamviewer or Splashtop
both these can be set up in less than ten minutes and then you can log into your works computer from anywhere using any computer.
You are literally "plugged in" and can access everything as if you are sat at your desk at work
Can't understand these people saying they are "waiting for IT to set them up

That would be the very insecure teamviewer linked to multiple breaches by hackers. Data security and network security is huge. You cant just use teamviewer.

If these doctors are such heroes and care about ireland so much why did they let the tax payer fund their education and then f*ck off to sunnier climes? I think they just want to be lauded in the media tbh.

You could make the same accusation to any university educated graduate who has left Ireland in the last 25 years.

Next!
