Coronavirus (COVID-19)

anyone know of someplace in the city centre I would be able to pick up a face mask (covering)? I feel like I should be wearing one but tried to get one online and was let down.

Saturday Market on Coal Quay/Cornmarket Street has some, today.

I saw a box of 20 disposable masks for €15 in Dunnes

I wonder will they start to sell reusable ones?

Group of teens belting the heads off each other up in Mount Oval earlier this evening apparently

.

I live near Mount Oval. The gangs up there constantly is awful. They'd be throwing stuff and saying things to people coming in and out of Spar or the pharmacy quite often.

Was walking out of Garryduff Woods one evening last week on the Rochestown Inn side and encountered a group of about 25 teenagers walking into the woods, some on bikes... no attempt to distance between themselves or me and one or two other walkers ahead... deeply disappointing.

Regular occurrence up there now unfortunately. It is a gathering point for teens from all over. The "lockdown" does indeed appear to be over for the last week. Gangs of teens everywhere all of a sudden. I see them every day pass my house also going god knows where. They only started appearing over the last week.

At it in Mount oval since the council moved ppl in,let's not be shy about it,wAs a quiet areas a few years ago

Hi. I live with people in the at-risk group. How dangerous is it to get 4 buses to and from work these days? I heard on the radio a few days ago that only 1% of passengers on buses & trains wore masks.

Except fo teenagers on the way to Mount Oval for a good time.

Lot out on the Lough again tonight. One large group of foreigners playing soccer.

Possibly because they refuse to allow pedestrian access to a 140 acre park.

I dunno if any other of ye have heard the story but, apparently the workers at whatever meat plant is affected in Cork were dipping their heads in ice to juke the temperature testing at the factory.

Hope this is a load of cobblers

And taking paracetamol.
That says more about the conditions of employment than anything.
No work no pay, no sick scheme.

I hope the unions get all the workers together and put in a hefty claim against them. It’s not like the owners are struggling.

Not sure if you've heard but there's a thing called the Covid payment. €350pw paid by social welfare for anybody out of work, for any reason that's covid related.
I've no clue if the statements above are true or not. If they are these people need a good kicking (and preferably deportation). Sounds harsh but their actions, if true could be seen as involuntary manslaughter. This virus they've knowingly been spreading will have people dying cos of their stupidity and greed.

Wouldn't matter what park they're in when you're in a group of 20 playing soccer tbf. It's still against all the advice. Looks worse in the Lough alright as it's smaller though.

I love how almost all of the criticisms of people's behaviour, includes some grouping to which the poster doesn't belong.

Foreigners, teen's, scumbags, travellers etc.

You know, people not like me;);)

Don't forget the Norrie's. She hates the Norries as well.

There's more than one person doing this.

Realise that. But the auld wan from Carrigaline is by far the most obnoxious and virulent on this thread.
