    I watched a woman I follow on Instagram wash all her delivered groceries with water and bleach.

    Is that not ever so slightly OTT or should we now be doing this also?

    You'd have to imagine it is. I would have thought washing hands after putting the shopping away, and many more times during the day, and not touching you face would be allot more protective.

    Especially washing shopping with bleach sounds kind of dangerous. Bleach is highly toxic

    This restriction period is not comparable to war.
    I don't know it can be pretty tough sitting on your backside watching Netflix all day,

    Agreed about the bleach. We use washing up liquid when washing our shopping.

    I feel ya. I have PTSD from watching them breaking into another choreographed shagging sequence, preferably with interplayed stabbing montage, in Power. Every time they move closer and open their mouths for the lunge now I have to take shelter behind the couch. The war is real.

    You can water it down to 2% bleach/98% water and it will still kill coronavirus.

    I am not sure anything is to be announced? All that was said is they would review the current situation/restrictions.

    They were talking about something called "Community Call". An initiative that involves all the local authorities throughout the country checking in on vulnerable people...?

    Depends on the level of bleach solution.

    But I wouldn't go to that extreme myself.

    Why are people in nursing home's not added in the death figures.

    They would be still be alive today if Covid 19 didn't exist.

    Yes. Being set up now - various gov agencies and NGO's coming together to provide support services in the community, under co-ord of local authorities. People being re-deployed from their usual state funded social and community services to man and woman the pumps.

    This is going to take a lot of effort to set up - one would assume it is intended to be in place for a reasonable time.

    dont drink the bleach


    Chlorine is also toxic but its in your tap water


    Bleach breaks down quite quickly leaving a harmless residue, how else do you think they allow you turf it down the jacks

    Actually, you should! There's a comprehensive guide to shopping here that has a procedure for shopping. Apart from the family home, shopping is probably where a lot of people will most likely pick up the infection now.

    St Patrick's Day Parade 2021

    Dedicated to health care workers who walk the parade to ovations from the public who they protected in 2020.

    Make it happen everyone

    You know what there’s a reason why so many Nurses and Doctors emigrate!
    Forget about the Parade how about we just pay them a decent wage? No tiered increases phased over 3 year nonsense tied to work productivity or changes in work practice just a straight forward wage increase like the ones the Politicians award themselves.
    Every Minister of Finance has resisted their wage demands over the years and any concessions are hard fought and Minuscule
    I know the sight of all the politicians in the Dail giving them a round of applause last week was greeted with gritted teeth by most Nurses and Doctors

    This guy on twitter put up a picture from Medical Examiner in Cook County, Illinois that shows quite a number of deaths marked as "pneumonia" and "acute respiratory distress (ARD)".

    Nice number massaging going on.

    They are, they have said that on a number of occasions that nursing home clusters have been the reason for high death tolls on certain days.

    Even in normal circumstances. I once saw a documentary item on how the online delivery basket tray things were treated (or not), in supermarkets. In short, they were filthy... in some cases there were no arrangements in place to clean or disinfect them and they were simply left outside in a yard for storage until they were needed again. Some of the ones I saw myself in stores at the time were visibly filthy, but we weren't as caught up on germ transfer at the time.

    There was also some questions about how clean the vans were too - the online delivery services developed quicker than the health and safety procedures.
