    hearing arsehole teachers on de lash knowing many (not all) wud not surprise me
    also clown cnt parents arranging play dates etc wtf is wrong with u, there are a generation of parents who dont know how to cope with kids.
    sayz i with a 5 month old baby cretin who has kept her away from crowds in last two weeks
    finally the idiots from Cheltenham should be shot up a dogs arse for the selfishness
    as my mother said"i will shout at them... from a distance"

    There will be some teachers who go on the lash and will do nothing for the next few weeks. Hopefully they will be disciplined when they get back to work. Most however seem to be struggling with various IT systems. I know one who was just told to look up Google Classroom and figure it out. She spent all day today trying to get set up and has her classes up now and posted homework etc for the weekend. Didn't get a very positive response from the students who all thought they were off. They are in for a right shock on Monday. She has video conferencing set up and ready to go. She'll even be taking rollcall! They'll be calling her some names when they get the mails.

    Don't think so. We seem to have taken responsibility here and taken very decisive action.

    During the financial crisis, we took our medicine and got ourselves out of the mess even though it meant a nasty dose of austerity.

    There are some idiots but you find them in any society. Look across the Irish Sea or Atlantic if you want to see moronic behaviour at government level.

    My boyfriend just informed me that his boss and his girlfriend are off to Tenerife until Thursday, and they plan to rock back into work the following Monday no screening no testing no nothing. People seem to be categorise where is “safe” to travel to based on the amount of positive cases there; completely forgetting the important fact that in order to get there you’ve to travel through an airport likely riddled with the infection and travel on a plane that’s been god knows where before you. My boyfriend is worried because his mother has not only cardiovascular disease but high BP and diabetes, she’s basically a right off if she gets this disease. He’s now thinking of taking the two weeks off when they return because of their moronic and selfish behaviour.

    Isn't that where CinemaGuy45 is meant to be going shortly? You don't suppose....?

    This could be awkward.

    We're a month too late for that, the country is riddled with it, and every day we let tens of thousands more in.

    Yes & no. If hands are washed more regularly than the gloves changed then the washed hands carry less bacteria. Many studies have proven this. When people have gloves on they tend to think they can touch anything & their hands are sterile.

    Brother in law just landed in Krakow, the army boarded the plane and did temperature checks. Told them the border is closed for 10 days from tomorrow and potentially up to 30 days. His wife is Polish so plenty of family but completely unexpected when he took off at 7PM this evening

    There is a possibility that children may transmit the infection without any symptoms at all, or they may have a very mild form of the illness that is not obvious. Please, people at risk (heart disease, on blood pressure tablets, diabetes, >60years old, on tablets to dampen the immune system), avoid children where possible! While the vast, vast majority of children are fine with the virus, they can pass it to a vulnerable loved-one, who will not become very ill. While the pandemic is at large, be sensible!

    (How) are they managing with distancing measures ?


    Before closing the cinemas altogether in Italy, this system was devised: allowing the booking of every third seat in a row, with empty seats directly in front and behind"

    Orrr you could just keep them inside and explain to them that it’s right for them to be out right now. Throw on some Netflix or get them to help around the house, or if they’re older get them on their school work. You know there is a happy medium between sedating them and letting them roam feral throughout the estate?

    People should keep their little potential disease carriers under control.

    Anyone think closing the schools will turn out to be a wrong move? Lots of potential for child spread virus within the wider family, the possibly wrong assumption that children are being minded in the first place, mothers being torn between work and home. Does a parent retuning to homemaker role get paid for being a child minder and society protector?

    Some fantastic news from South Korea. The South Koreans have been testing their population widely since the outbreak there in early February and are now testing 20,000 citizens a day. The data show a prevalence of the disease of around 7% of the population. This translates into 3.5 million infected citizens as of end of February. The daily death toll flattened out at the beginning of March and now the total number of deaths stands at 71. This is incredibly good news as it means the mortality rate is somewhere of the order 0.002%!!! Nothing like the crazy figures of 1 and 2% that have been bandied around. Looks like the worst we can expect in Ireland is around 100 deaths.

    Gloves do not negate the need for good hand hygiene.

    Also, when removing the gloves, the following sequence should be followed, to avoid contamination:
    *** The outer surface (i.e. the exposed surface of the glove) is dirty
    *** The inner surface (i.e. the surface of the glove in contact with your skin) is clean
    1. Pull the first glove off via the outside surface of the glove with your other gloved hand
    2. Slide your degloved hand (clean), into the inside surface of the glove (clean). Remove the glove via the inside surface
