    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

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

    They are ramping up mendacious stupidity as we speak


    The USA is really going to do it aren't they?

    They're going to turn this into a left versus right issue like pollution and education.

    Anyone?

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

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

    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.

    and your house?
    your electricity?
    your clothes?
    your education?
    your healthcare?
    your water?


    etc etc

    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.

    Exactly nice you acknowledge there all important. Of course it could be argued a lot are not life or death. Food certainly is ,not so sure how important new clothes are for the next few months

    I'd say the poster is wondering how the farmers have been hit, domestic food consumption hasn't reduced, export probably - but - exporting food would probably go down as non essential at the moment?

    That is absolutely going to be the case.

    There's a huge backlog for tests here, in the UK and the US. I think its something like close to 200,000 in the US.

    People will unquestionably die of covid19 without ever being tested or confirmed for it. Its already happened in at least one nursing home case here. You can be sure there's more.

    Likely a huge problem in the UK and US.

    The people who served the farmer his pint have no job now. The publican who employed them may well go bankrupt. Hope the farmers take such fellow citizens like that into consideration.

    Prices have dropped significantly. Farmers who bought animals and fed them all winter . Are now worth less than when they bought them. Marts are very restricted and were closed for a few days. So hard sell them and even if they are booked into a mart it's going to be a flawed set up and will not suit the seller. McDonald's closed 2 in every 10 burgers in Europe was Irish beef. I could go on.

    exporting food is essential, obviously the market everywhere has changed

    It's not a bad idea considering others may have touched them though I'd worry some people may wind up contaminating their food with bleach or chemicals in the process.
    Leaving whatever you can in the car for a few days after buying, removing outer plastics and just generally washing hands frequently after touching recently bought items is probably more practical.
