Can you make any suggestions for cheap graphics pad? Have you recommended tutorials for Krita? Cheers

I got mine in Lidl yonks ago, so it aint fancy but it does the job! So no recommendations although if someone really loves me they can get me a Wacom bamboo one, thanks

A fun introduction that covers all the essentials, eg layers, brush heads, etc is a Learn Krita with Bob Ross set of fun tutorials by Age of Asparagus youtube channel. After that kids especially will work out all the other features because they have no fear!

Has anyone in the media asked Dr. Tony Holohan why so many health care professionals are getting infected ?

I think and I could be wrong but go with me on this, but I think that maybe the government thought, and I know its a stretch that we could use common sense.

Was watching sky news there. Good few heads out wandering aimlessly around Dublin. One lad went out of his way to walk directly into the path of three different people. Zigzagging his way up and down henry st.

9 nursing homes are clusters. News chap said it's a ticking time bomb. In Spain workers walked out and the army went into different ones and found dead bodies in beds

It is still being investigated.

Care homes in Spain were instructed to not move anyone who died with suspected Covid symptoms. Instead they were to call the authorities and wait for approved undertakers to move the remains. But these services were so inundated that there were long delays in responding. It is not clear yet if this was a factor in the reports of dead bodies being found in beds - rather than staff abandoning their posts.

It was discovered during the Ebola crisis that the majority of health workers got infected taking off their gear.

Also the equipment may not be up to par with the shortages

The PPE is not anywhere near good enough, Have a look at an Irish Healthcare worker compared to one in China. Its not good enough and they should have planned for this in January

It's for the benefit of Gardai and enforcement, so they don't have to question and look for evidence of each group not social distancing that they are actually within the same household.

I totally agree that it's pointless asking family members to stay 2m apart when out for a walk. However I spoke to a HSE person about this and he says it helps with the 'optics'. If people see everyone else doing social distancing it is more likely to be widely practiced.

Dffgsdf · 28-03-2020 11:38AM

Sorry, is it not about reducing the number of people coming within infection distance of strangers in the community? If you go out alone rather than with your spouse, you’re reducing it by 50%. I don’t understand all the “I can share a bed with my wife but can’t go for a walk with her” outraged comments because I took a different understanding from the restriction.

I'm aware of that. Seems to be a high percentage here getting infected, is it lack of PPE equipment ? It is a valid question that needs answering.

If people read the thread most of the questions have been answered multiple times and people are not reading the details of the restrictions properly and jumping to conclusions.

This thread moves extremely fast. It’s absurd to think some people have the time to read pages and pages to see if a question has been asked. People are just waiting in the wings to jump down anyone’s throat shouting “stay at hoooooome”, for asking the most basic questions. This thread was once informative and it’s now overrun by preachy know it alls. The new measures are barely 12 hours old. Cut people some slack ffs.

Not everyone is obsessively following this and the asking of the same questions is not unusual on Boards at all. In this case the high anxiety levels and confusion people may be experiencing makes it understandable the same ones keep emerging. You can choose to answer or not answer them but you should definitely move on past them. I tend to refer them to the stickies!

The stay at home brigade last night were mostly saying it to people who were talking about 150 mile drives and 60 k cycles and 12 k walks etc but maybe you missed that as thread moves so fast

Do you have a link to prove this statement ?

Most of the Asian countries, who have been successful in containing the virus, disinfect well used public spaces, buses, trams and areas around detected positive cases.

German ministry of defense.
Buses trams trains planes are a different criteria due to the confined spaces.

These were mention as part of the equipment the government had secured. Are we going to start banning the exportation of ventilators?

Why would they ban the export of ventilators when they haven't banned the export of millions of masks from the factory in Limerick?
