Only if you thoroughly scrub and disinfect the bin cover after using it. Potential of transmission of infection to the refuse collectors is high.

When was the last time u used a bottle bank, cause u don’t even have to touch abin to put ur bottles in there. There’s a little flap at the entrance and u fire them in.

God u are so full of sh*t it’s becoming comical at this stage.

do you think people arent seeking help because of COV-19.

People can seek help for heart attacks etc this has been emphasised, I know people are afraid of catching virus but it's up to people to not ignore issues like that.

My issue is with diagnostics, completely stopped right now. What if someone has breast cancer right now? Well they won't know cause breast check is closed, I don't think radiotherapy etc for cancer patients is ongoing either but could stand corrected on that.

We've paid €115 million per month for these private hospitals, which is/was fair enough a good idea at the time, but now, these hospitals are empty. Why the f**k don't we cancel that contract even if we have to pay 20 or 30 million to do so and let them return to normal an example of a decision that could be taken tomorrow but probably won't. Sigh.

Sounds about right. Because your fixated desire to extend lockdown is certainly not based on any sense of common sense or reality.

What?

I dont have a "fixated desire" road high. I wanted things done responsibly.

Responsibility isnt something that suits certain types of people and combined with an inability to follow simple instructions.

The ones that will cause an extension are the ones deciding its already over. While ye cry about others who can actually follow instructions.

But its always the welfare or gardai or media or someone else to blame. Never ever yourselves. And your "expert" opinion is always best.

Ye guys are the gift that keeps giving.

Zywiec is epic stuff! In a can obviously due to bottle bank issues

I read today that there have been clusters associated with green glass recycling bins. I'm up for a 3 month lockdown to fix these clusters.

I’ve heard if you stand at least 2 m from the bottle bank and aim the bottles at the opening while wearing a mask you can’t catch covid. So long as you don’t do it for >15 mins

I think the 5k limit is to ban large public events like concerts. Or sports events. I think if there's gaa or soccer matches in 2020. They will be held behind closed door ors
With no fans allowed. I would not go to a concert now
Even if I got a free ticket. I think we will have so social distancing for another 12 months. Ireland is 40 times worse than new Zealand. In terms of no of deaths per million. And new Zealand is still in lock down
We have a problem with people coming here by air
Travellers should be at least tested for high tempeture
No one is allowed to travel to New Zealand at the moment

The CMO yesterday was not impressed with the amount of people running.

The OP wonders why looks are being given.

When you run you sweat and pant. This is not good for anyone within feet of you running by if you happen to be infected.

I fully expect jogging to be banned in the coming days incidentally. It won't be allowed continue, nor should it.

You can go a while without jogging. It's not a requirement.

People need some cop on and a sense of perspective.

You won't be flabbing out because you can't go for a jog for a while.

Just go for a walk. 4 km is a perfectly good walk.

If many people go to them at the same time and don`t wear masks or gloves they become a likely breeding ground for spread of the virus.

They don’t need to check

And they don’t lock people into a hotel on Australia, contrary to popular belief. That’s only if you don’t have a place to self isolate. They do checks and impose fines

Thats not true hotel isolation is mandatory for all Australians in all states wether they haven’t or have got a place to isolate, I know this because I live here and it’s a known fact.

From midnight, March 28, all Australian travelers returning from overseas have been forced into two-week quarantine–in a luxury hotel.

Following the country’s decision to close its borders to foreign tourists last month, tough new coronavirus measures mean Australians coming from abroad can no longer live out their mandatory 14-day self-isolation in the comfort of their own homes.

https://www.forbes.com/sites/tamarathiessen/2020/04/04/australian-travelers-complain-about-5-star-hotel-quarantine/

There are exceptions like this one and for government personnel etc

Enforced overseas Isolation and proper testing is what broke the back of the virus in Australia.

So how many damaged children is the lockdown worth? Is it worth one? Which one?

how many deaths is lifting restrictions worth?

We noticed that there were people breaking into the locked tennis courts in my local park to play tennis. The courts had been closed and locked in line with restrictions. But fence hoppers... my friend happened to mention this to somebody with council connections and the nets were all removed today when i went over... you are literally having to babysit knuckle draggers with zero abilty to understand the magnitude of their behaviour just after a cure for their inability to sit around and understand and be team players.

Some folk are quick to accuse any questioner of the lockdown as lacking empathy. How many deaths do you want, they ask. And I've been trying to think of a way of communicating that its empathy that makes us question it.

The thread title is a story by Ursula K. Le Guin about the utopian city of Omelas, whose prosperity depends on the perpetual misery of a single child.

And here's a story from the Journal, about children suffering without relief in abusive homes because of the lockdown

https://www.thejournal.ie/readme/coronavirus-mental-health-child-welfare-5067329-Apr2020/

We know that difficulties often intensify for children and young people when they do not have the safe refuge of school. This is the place they learn, meet their friends and often where they eat and receive support too. With little warning, all of this was gone.

We in Childline expected an increase in demand for our service – but not to the extent which has been experienced.

So how many damaged children is the lockdown worth? Is it worth one? Which one?

Hilarious.:rolleyes: The point is that if a lot of people are gathering together at bottle banks, amenity centres etc, and are not wearing masks or gloves and if there is just one person carrying the virus present then several more are likely to become infected by inhaling virus particles from said person. You do know this virus is airborne?

Yeah I know all the cool kids hang out at the bottle bank.
