    stop panic buying folks, just carry on as it was before


    If it be your will
    That I speak no more
    And my voice be still
    As it was before
    I will speak no more
    I shall abide until
    I am spoken for
    If it be your will
    If it be your will
    That a voice be true
    From this broken hill
    I will sing to you
    From this broken hill
    All your praises they shall ring
    If it be your will
    To let me sing

    Dundalk, Co. Louth

    How many 4-8 year olds in hospital, among the 260?
    How many in ICU?
    How many 4-8 year olds have died from the “lethal virus” as RTÉ describe it?

    Whats that got to do with anything?

    Kids can get infected and spread it

    Did I mention ICU, hospitals, death for them?

    Mid term is extended break. Really funny that Jim, it works for other countries, it's not nuclear fusion we're discussing. Whether there's political will is another question entirely.

    Ah no. I never mentioned the break you said
    and then move all teaching from 3rd-6th year online.
    and still no practical suggestion to provide what's needed so all children get the same education.
    Political will isn't enough to provide devices and broadband in two weeks time . Other countries are immaterial at this stage in the game. Much of this country has what's needed but the issue is those who don't.

    Nolan essentially told him to f*ck off on Twitter. You can find it on Nolan's page.

    RE: Pfizer

    Talk in the science community is the EMA will give it EUA (Emergency Use Approval) before the second week in November.
    The FDA are waiting longer. (Because they're based on a completely different trial)

    Also, remember the articles about bins full of unused food? People stocked up on food they didn’t have a hope of using before it went off.

    The March panic buying was senseless and only made elderly people worried.
    People emptied the shelves faster than the shop staff could stock them but there was never any issue with supply chains.
    And what was the toilet roll stockpiling about?
    Embarrassing really.

    What are they doing in the Hyacinth House?

    The unions will decide that so yes. I would guess from mid-term all the way through to Christmas.

    This is what selfish panic buying pr*cks caused in the UK in the early days of the pandemic.

    Party in full flight across the green from us here in a neighbours house. 21st apparently.

    I've been dead set against the pubs been open but when you see sh1t like this you wonder maybe it's better to have these type of idiots in a bigger controlled setting as they obviously don't care either way. Then again why put bar staff at risk.

    I don't know maybe the situation is hopeless.

    Has Nolan nothing better for doing than writing 12 tweet long threads and articles disputing claims made by a professional on the ground. Ffs the ceclbrity has gone entirely to these lads heads.

    I don't do Twitter, had Nolan a point or was it that Lambert is sort of a Maverick who doesn't do groupthink.
    Btw what is Nolan's area of expertise?

    Nolan comes across as incredibly unlikeable tbh.
    Looks like someone who can't take no for an answer.

    Cillian De Gascun on the other hand, an actual virologist, is really really interesting.

    You should call the guards. If they don’t care maybe try Joe Duffy.

    I'm suggesting extending it by 2-weeks and that would then give government time to put together a plan with increased funding from DOE and also help from broadband providers. They should have conducted a survey about student broadband/ IT requirements months ago.

    ETA: Students in these age groups who don't have adequate broadband or laptop could also be offered option to go to school. Even if that's a third of class, that's much better than a full class when rates in community are so high. Would this not be reasonable? Then the only investment we need is to help schools purchase video conference equipment (2k approx per class)

    The courts in Berlin decided late night pubs were safer than house parties

    Nah I'm not doing that.

    Sad thing is another neighbour who's a school bus driver is in hospital with the virus at the moment and he only lives 3 doors down from them.

    Some people have no conscience.
