College and /or intelligence is not an inoculation against idiocy

The new guidelines were added to the list of guidelines that we already have. I think the go sat down and actively thought how he could flaunt the guidelines. One of his teenagers held an end of summer party with another party planned for the weekend.

How can that GP realistically tell any of his patients with covid19 symptoms to isolate at home when he doesn't give a toss for the guidelines within his own private life.

If we dare to try and do anything about it at DP centers though you’ll have the more lunatic fringes of society screaming the race card.


Already sick of the amount of ‘passes’ people are trying to hand out to certain parts of society, absolving them from doing their bit, duty and responsibilities for us all.... if you are in DP you have an equal responsibility, if you are young, elderly, a business person, unemployed... all supposed to be in this together.

Isn't the very issue that people in DP can't take responsibility for their own health, because they aren't in a position to self-isolate?

So we are looking at

1) over 100 cases reported today

2) under 100 cases reported and the rest of the positive tests from the last 24hrs added into Fridays confirmed number.

I'll guess on number 2.

136 cases, 51 Dublin, 4 Kildare, 2 Offaly, no idea about the rest

Believe it or not I get the heads up from a sparks mate every day he is yet to be wrong ,Sends me it by 1230 every day

Omfg. This is lunacy

I don’t see it as lunacy. If you, your Mam, Dad, Husband, Wife, boyfriend, girlfriend, son, daughter, best mate is a teacher and sees that... they think, ok, we have protection... we can teach with less worry, less risks...it’s safer, it’s protection... we can teach, go home to our loved ones... who will worry less, who are more safe.

It looks ungainly, it’s not ideal, but such is the world we are in, for the moment...

Now... can I get a ‘mental health’ bully... sorry advocate, to shout down these protective measures as children may be upset, their mental health in a jocker as they can’t be near teacher ? :rolleyes:

Better lockdown the county so the meat factories can run in peace

Surely the shutting of meat plants has to be considered at this stage?

What the heck in happening with all the meat factory cases. Does the virus tend to spread easier in cold environments?

No. Just bad working pay and conditions. It has been going on for years. but as long as it was only affecting the low paid employees, it didn't matter. We still continued to produce the best quality beef in the world .... apparently.

This was as inevitable as the initial outbreaks in the nursing homes, but you literally can't say a word against the sacred cows of highly protected industries. I am old enough to remember various meat factory and costly meat production associated scandals and investigations over many years. The beef industry must have cost the country dearly over many occasions through the years, and it didn't pay the price for any of them.
