That dude got severe covidmania. Either that or he is being paid handsomely to pretend to have one.

Or he never liked em and it was a convenient rod to hit them with.

Holy Feck!

This intro to the Rte covid programme is awful hype.

'It ripped through the limbs of each family'. Now it did to many but this statement is hyperbole.

Turned off at that point. What a pile of crap. You would think we have smallpox running rife.

Do they have a case?

Yes, and like Ryanair I hope more companies and organisations stand up to the NHPET-FFFG Government...

Lawyers for Press Up group, which employs 1,800 people across five hotels, 12 bars, 27 restaurants and two cinemas, have written to Government, saying Minister for Health Stephen Donnelly has published “no empirical, objective and verifiable evidence” to support the closures.

The group also claims Mr Donnelly has “unlawfully delegated or otherwise abdicated responsibility to third parties in particular members of the National Public Health Emergency Team”.

The group’s solicitors state that it has not been notified by the HSE of any outbreak of the virus at any of its premises and has called on Mr Donnelly to publish evidence to justify the restrictions.

How come other sections of society get to socialise but you think teachers should see their class only? What about their families who may have school elsewhere? I love how you're so enthusiastic to take away the personal freedoms of teachers. Do you think doctors should also isolate themselves from everyone except patients?

They're not being asked to socialise any less than everybody else is being asked to limit contacts and take precautions.

October 30th for this wave if I had to stick money on it, this will be the Friday of the week schools are off with a bank holiday the Monday before it, perfect conditions for people to let the guard down

Thats not true. My son is special needs and an assistant in school tested positive.
They wear a mask and social distance and HSE said no need to test. Obvs i was not so impressed and got us tested anyway, negative thankfully

But because of masks and distancing, reduced risk.
What school closed? Im surprised, as all escorts, snas and teachers have to wear a mask.
Masks cut transmission by 85%.

So, Im now wondering if our story has grown arms and legs.. .

My OH is an SNA, she wears a mask, changes it at least 3 times during the day, she wears her own masks as some of the ones provided didnt fit appropiately. The risk is reduced but theres still a risk. They try to social distance as much as possible but theres still times where they have to sit with the child to help them. Shes works in a different school to the one I mentioned.

I cant comment on the social distancing or mask wearing of the closed school. You did the right thing about getting tested because I would be surprised if the HSE were treating mainstream classes with special needs kids integrating the same as a mainstream with no SN kids.

I am an sna in a post primary school without any severe needs. We cannot social distance in the slightest bit, and in order to do our job within a classroom (which we move between every hour) we need to be inches away from students. There's only so much a mask helps.

What part of trying to save your business makes you a 'self entitled twat'?

Because saving lives and keeping people healthy is the priority.

If they were successful in overturning this in court... it will lead to more deaths.

They KNOW this but value making money ahead of saving lives.

Can you give us the scientifically proven reason why exactly it would lead to more deaths?

Because they could care less about peoples health.

I think trying to ensure that they and their employee's have enough money to survive is pretty caring
