I live in your universe , here in south Dublin and I can’t remember the last time I saw anyone without a mask in shops

I work in a retail environment in North Dublin and about 15% of our customers refuse to wear masks on any given day. We're "not allowed" request them to wear one, so they won't.

So, I brought my 80yr old mother to Helix today for first jab. I stopped off in Nans Supervalu in Ballymun to get something. 2 young lads wandering around without a mask. 3 different Supervalu staff working in the aisles with masks completely under the nose. I have sympathy for them, it's likely a pain in the árse with them on all day, but it's not acceptable.

In my own local supervalu yesterday saw someone without a mask too (another young fellah). I have rarely seen older shoppers without masks i.e. over mid-twenties.

I'd say inhaling your own C02 for an 8 hour shift would be exceptionally unpleasant and hardly good for anyone's health.

This evening I was taking a walk around my estate which is mixed apartments and houses and is quite upmarket. I passed by as a 60 something year old well-dressed man was taking in orders of delicious smelling restaurant food which, due to the sheer quantity, were being delivered in an estate car as well as a motorcycle. There must have been enough food for 20 people in that delivery, and I was assuming he was from the very large penthouse apartment with its own roof garden. Easter celebrations.

Why is it not acceptable?

Seriously, an estate ar would bring enough for 100 people.

UK reporting 10 deaths today. Down from 58 last Saturday.

Hopefully we get drops like that in 2/3 months.

Hopefully in 2/3 months, days of having no covid deaths being announced will be the norm.

Pure bull. Breathing in CO2 will lower your oxygen levels. I wear a mask over my mouth and nose for 8 hour shifts, 5 days a week and my oxygen has never dropped below 99% which is a normal level.

Yeah, wouldn't like it myself. But are you suggesting that shop workers don't wear masks so?

Why? You are making the claim, back it up yourself.

People on minimum wage dealing with other people's obnoxious sh1t for 8 hours wear a mask slightly wrong.

Don't see anything unacceptable about it myself.

Not making any claim. Simply stating a fact. :rolleyes:

Sorry if this has been chatted about. Have the government mentioned anything about gyms opening again?

This nice weather might turn out to be a bit of a curse.

I lost interest around the time it was ok for texas folk to fly here with they were the hot spot of the world. I see the US should be on quarantine list this week but still no.

Nothing changed a year later.

I'm glad you've lost interest as you are now banned from posting in this thread again

I've been wearing them for 10+ hour shifts since last March (they were made mandatory in my workplace in the summer) and shockingly have had no ill effects from lack of oxygen, just some mask acne

I doubt gyms will open anytime soon, given they are indoor activities.

I'd be very surprised if gyms are opened anytime before the middle of June, but I'm unsure what Government has said on this.

Seems some STILL cant differentiate between a mask and a plastic bag over the head to smother themselves.

Does anyone know anywhere in Dublin you can get a rapid antigen test tomorrow? Family emergency but covid is rampant in the area and sibling wants to try and be safer coming home as there’s high risk family at home

Lcomps · 03-04-2021 10:05PM

I just wish they where more lenient in sporting activity. Me and my mates only really exercise by playing 5 a side football. The lockdowns where so much easier to deal with when Astros where open.

Least there was something to do twice a week. Ever since they shut it down at Christmas it's all become such a slog again.

I also wear a mask at work and have an O2 monitor with me, Mines goes from 98 to 96 while wearing the mask. I check this regularly. I'm a smoker so maybe that makes a difference.

I live in Dublin 7 and there’s definitely been an uptick the last 2 weeks of people not wearing masks. Selfish knobs.

my local church had mass tonight and about 20 people attended, the priest is back saying mass in church now every weekend and not bothering stopping people coming into the church or hanging outside in cars or standing around
