Where on earth would you get an independent source on the staffing levels today at a nursing home!! I can tell you how many staff we had out last week due to being close contacts and being told to stay home. I can tell you how we covered those shifts but you certainly wouldn't be able to find that information anywhere else!

That poster is referring to a major hospital that works in. He makes claims like this all the time without ever verifying them. I wouldn't expect a nursing home's staff shortage to be a news item, a hospital I would.

Jesus imagine being that person . Get a life

If one shop that shouldn’t be open does, soon a lot more will follow suit.

Telling people to get a life, we all want to keep alive. A fûcking comic book shop ? Not essential.

From Wales. Seen another picture of Tesco with Books being covered in plastic sheeting. No Newspapers though. We cant be upsetting the media.

If he really cared about his precious shops closing, he should be wearing a mask.

Fraction of the price and none of the danger of Qing in a deli.

You have a bar AND dessert at lunchtime! Get a load of Prince Strumms over here! :pac:

I can blame them. They’re being selfish cnuts. It’s the same people who will be responsible for us potentially not getting out of level 5 in six weeks, and they’ll be the very ones whining about it then too.

You're missing the point, these people are not going into level 5 in the first place. But you feel free to stay in Level 5 for as long as you see fit, hiding from this "deadly" virus that people who die from other causes die "with".

Absolutely, fella walks into a shop, wrecking the place, trashing stock, shelves, inconveniences shoppers and the owners... then people say... “don’t worry, we’ll sort it out for you”.

We are all recommended to buy local, simply because our businesses are suffering because of the ravages of Covid.

Who in God's name within the HSE decided to source the Vira Pro Hand Disinfection Gel from Turkey ? where they apparently have difficulty in distinguishing between methanol and ethanol.

Are the production methods for ethanol unknown in Ireland ?

Why would HSE management spend all the Government funding on sourcing safe and high quality equipment when it could be used for bonuses or their wages?

Ironically the dessert and bar is increasing ones risk from Covid.

I’ve made my concern known to all my loved ones about the risks of desserts and snacks in these times

Have to vent...

I see so many ****ing idiots online and face to face everyday life, moaning and complaining about retail shops being open...

"Oh it's a disgrace"
"Oh the case numbers"
"Oh the Government arent doing their job"
"Oh it's against the law"
"Oh they should be ashamed"
"Oh the crowds are going to be piling in, spreading the virus"

It's click and collect at the ****ing door!!

Can people not read?? Or, has the tabloid, sensationalism era taken over their minds and they see what they wanna see now?

Holier than thou muppets! Absolutely blood boiling!!

Nope. To be fair, they don't allow you more than 2 feet inside. Their desk is at the entrance so they're basically doing takeaway comics. Perhaps they're not breaking a rule with their setup?

They sell print media, thats deemed essential. No rules broken

Too right my friend, think of the air miles and co2 to import that plastic.

suicide_circus · 24-10-2020 02:43PM

I'm told pretty much every store in the Pavilions shopping centre (Swords Co. Dublin) is open for "click & collect" but theyre not stopping people wandering in and buying off the shelves

igCorcaigh · 24-10-2020 02:45PM

I think the whole retail thing is a bit silly.
Cases fell over summer with retail open, along with SD and masks.

Socialising and hospitality seem to be the problems.

Socialising and schools surely?

I'm not with the schools argument yet. I think adult socialising had a much bigger effect based on the age groups affected.

It's the schools with most students been asytomatic. The numbers only started ramping up when the schools reopened.

When we were at 50 cases a day house parties were rampant all over the country.

Even with cases in schools there not shutting them down.

Its a disgrace.

Dead right too. People need to get on with things.

My thoughts are; how could schools NOT be a major source of transmission? Infected kids remain largely asymptomatic, theyre licking each other, not wearing masks, sitting in a room together for hours - it makes no sense.

And yet the 18-24 year age group has an infection rate about 3 times the overall average. The same age group that socialise the most..

Any close contact/ nearness in any enclosed space is a danger. Cases were down in summer as folk were outside more than in enclosed spaces.

Problem is, I'm sure the curtain twitchers will have videos up on twitter and Facebook soon and the hysterical Karen's will scream and post enough angry faces to force them to close.

It is in this groups nature to socialise and ahem "interfere" with each other. It's like trying to tell the tide not to come in.

A large chunk of those are still in secondary school add 13 years of primary/secondary plus additional TY and you would wonder how many are in 6th yr that are 18 or even 19.

That is what the data says, alright. Some seem to want to stick with their anti-school agenda though.

Yeah, I'm open to the idea that school cases were hidden from that age heap map due to asymptomatic cases.

It's really hard to know just purely from data.

There is a big importance on schools being kept open. Which is understandable.

I'm not anti school and think they should stay open. I also think it would be a miracle that defies all logic to think that there are not lots of transmissions happening in schools.
