    Meanwhile we have 6,000+ cases and can't even decide if we should close the schools.

    Mind boggling!


    I wonder if they are being asked to keep their cases down so they can take overflow from English hospitals?

    In Tesco Killarney over Christmas I did not see any staff wearing masks at the tills (behind the plexiglass). I believe it must be some kind of store policy?!

    Much better mask wearing discipline at Dunnes, Aldi, Lidl, etc.

    Thats why hundreds of Teaco staff have got it and are dropping like flies.
    Oh..wait...!

    It's strange that they cannot create a new system in parellel, run both systems and do a switchover on a quiet period, and migrate archived/historic data afterwards from a certain point in time before finally knocking off the old system.

    They made it sound impossible to do.

    Sure the test booking system they have needs to be fixed first, i wasn't able to get a test because of a website glitch, even though the doctor ordered one for me

    Scotland's lockdown looks absolutely terrifying.

    Legally bound to remain at home all the time.

    Are we far off ourselves?

    He's more well presented than the last few times I seen him on TV. That's saying something!

    The schools are closed on Monday, we mightn't know it now but that's what is being planned.

    If you believe Scotland only have 2500 cases a day, I've a Haggis to sell you.

    If we tested at the same rate, we'd probably have the same number.

    It's good they're not dropping dead but they could be the cause of spreading it.

    They said on channel4 news that at the current rate of vaccination in U.K., it will take until 2027 to vaccinate the entire adult population.

    Any sign of the Taoiseach?

    While I despise the man at a visceral level, he can't be on TV every night, he probably is doing 16 hour days now.

    Why are coffee shops allowed open ? I know it’s takeaway only but I passed one today and it had a huge Q everyone on top of one another including staff.

    because the schools must be closed

    Except for exercise, shopping etc. Looks the same as ours, except possibly enforced.

    They don't really enforce things in the UK either

    'Johnson says the problem is not that schools are unsafe, adding that children are still unlikely to be affected, even by the new variant, but they can “act as vectors for transmission”.'

    Why can't DES admit the same.. it's not difficult.

    It's been absolute chaos there on Covid planning for most of the last ten months.

    Add in only a fraction of the compliance from the public.

    Surely we’ll be following suit with schools and colleges closing now, like the UK? I work in a college in admin and each of us in the office are still expected to go in one day a week “to accept any deliveries that might come in”. Our actual job can all be done from home.
