I don't see anything online about the 5km limit being reduced, so assume that's staying as is? Would rather not run into a checkpoint if it can be avoided.

They did say it was not under discussion. 5km is a reasonable compromise and keep people very local.

We could be nearing 10,000 cases a day, is there still back log?

Wow. I knew the Christmas would **** us over but not by that amount. Can see current restrictions lasting till at least mid Feb, then possibly level 4 until end of March.

The thing covid has really shone a light on is the futility of life, and what a great number of people's enjoyment of life actually comes down to. And I'm not just talking about alcoholics, it's a melancholic thought to consider what things constitute fundamental pillars of people's lives like going to the gym or the shops. It's like we're just feicin around figuring out stuff to do under we kick the bucket. I'm saying this from the perspective that it's interesting rather than depressing btw.

Always has been really, no? Even trying to answer the question what is the meaning of life is just filling in time till there's no more time.

I could never understand people who became melancholy over this.

Yes, a lot of people are. Alchololics require medical supervision to detox Other people use it as a crutch.

Suicide rates would soar. I don't think you have any idea of the amount of alcoholics in Ireland.

Welcome to the Real world.

Ok.
Educate me and tell me how many people are alcoholics in this country.

An example of the stupidity out there. A direct report of mine has tested positive and is at home. I told them not to send anything to me, certs etc, that can be all sorted when they get back. Anyway, today I had an envelope thrown on my desk after work. I opened it and it was medical certs and a letter from the positive colleague. Anyway threw it on the ground, straight to wash and sanitize hands. I noticed that the letter wasn't posted so I asked around as to where it came out of. Another colleague said they went out to the person's house to collect it. ****ing hell, I'm fuming.

Yes, unfortunately.

These next few weeks are not going to be particularly hopeful ones.

That would merely reinforce the perception that teachers unions have the collective IQ of a toadstool.

Would you sit in a room for 6 hrs with 25 young adults from different households 3 days a week in the middle of a pandemic that is reaching its peak?

Remember now if you somehow get very ill you might not get an ICU bed. Answer truthfully.

Has the South African variant been detected in Europe yet ?

bb1234567 · 06-01-2021 07:05PM

Further to Belgium, France and USA which confirmed their highest annual deaths in a year since WW2 and in the case of USA since records began.

Unsurprisingly Italy, Netherlands and Poland also now confirm deaths in 2020 are the highest since 1944 and in UK since 1940.

Spain does not have a report explicitly saying this but it's excess deaths are the highest per capita in the EU after Belgium, so same story for them.

Ireland is now one of only a handful of European countries to see normal range mortality in 2020.

I think we get the latest numbers after 8 and based on the rate we've been growing could get over 1000

i would be a terrible boss if i had to work in a pandemic. They would never hear the end of it, i would persecute them as far as the law would allow me

Yep, but I clearly have different perceptions of risk to you. As for the illness they are at far lower risk of needing that ICU bed.

This wont be over till 2023 at the earliest. The governments and the WHO need to start being honest with people.

https://www.top1000funds.com/2020/12/2023-until-normal-returns/

"Speaking at FIS Digital 2020 Dr Ian Norton, founder and managing director of Respond Global and the former global head of WHO’s Emergency Medical Team Initiative warned the 185-odd asset owner attendees with a collective $11 trillion assets under management that a long road to normal still lies ahead.

“We’ve never seen a pandemic end in less than two years,” he said."

Just after seeing the pre arrival pcr test requirement ONLY for south Africa and Britain.

Another mind boggling stupid decision.

I'm really losing hope at this stage with these clowns in charge.
