Any decent company will have provisions in place for their staff to work remotely whether through VPN or something like Citrix.

Anyone in a decent company should be able to work remotely if their role if office based.

Has anyone talked about Katie porter yet? Apparently the head of the CDC in the States has the authority to release federal funds so that getting tested and treated in a national health emergency is free.

So Katie porter, a congresswoman, grills him until he agrees to trigger this power, which means everyone in the US will be able to get tested, and if positive, get their treatment for free.

This is monumental, not least because the CDC guy is a Trump appointee.

This will protect all of. It may prevent the US beaming a basket case that keeps reinfecting the rest of the world.

Major Multinationals will. Irish SMEs that are not tech based? I would agree with you. The ones I worked with would have no idea how to set up a VPN.

yes, like a movie , you are waiting to end -

I remember the Road movie, in the post apocalytic times - but we are in reality - and tomorrow we will wake up to more bad news , got to hang on to nuggets of hope - I can't even drink, so I'm in reality 24/7 - good night.

listening to Simon coveney on prime time would make you sick. Trying to sound like a veteran epidemiologist whilst dismissing experts sitting feet away from him. Stick to making a shambles of housing Simon, you leverett!

Also is it me or are the HSE only recruiting "experts" with glasses and beedy eyes?? are the also trying to "impression manage" as though we have stereo typical scientists on the case. One such "nerd-alike" crumbled to bits when cornered over protocol regards testing, the squirming and shyte talk was off the charts!

Coveney on travel as well, what shameful farce of a man supposedly elected as a "leader". Health conversations stemming from health interviews.

I'm not going to post my petition but ehhhh... They just seriously need to impose travel restrictions.

You can bet if the HSE had to remove people from somewhere it wouldn't do it in a fleet of wailing sirens

What was circulated earlier in the week?

Personally I thought Simon Coveney cane across very well on prime time, and everywhere else I’ve seen him talk on this issue.

To answer your question, no, money notes can’t act a a breeding ground for viruses. Viruses can only replicate/multiply in living cells, so they won’t replicate on sweaty notes, dirty counters etc etc.
Inanimate objects obviously can be contaminated, but the viral won’t replicate on it.

Nobody said anything about replicating on the notes, I mean even a trace, the same way it remains on rails and edges on buses FFS!! a scientist on channel 4 said it can last on a hard surface like a bus bus hand rail for up to 2 days. IN materials like cotton and less dense soft surfaces, it;s less. being than money is an alloy, I's say it can remain there in any small capacity as though to transfer, NO?

Ah you can do so much more - I am
plotting a small veg patch (though the weather is ****) I have started a family internet group for sharing daily talents in art, writing, music whatever - just a bit of a fun connection especially with the younger members. We can still go out for a long drive...a quiet country walk. Just stay away from folk, in the main. (perhaps you're taking the piss...(¬_¬)

There is absolutely no way authorities will allow the possibility of people gathering in pubs for St Patrick’s Day, I may be a bit pessimistic but I expect more stringent measures by, at the latest, Monday next.

And if you hadn’t enough today, you’d have gotten some. Doesn’t mean you’re mentally deficient. Now if you went to Lidl and bought 79 packs of pasta you’re a bit ridiculous alright.

Questions to those of you who joined the hoard today in the supermarkets

You do release you increased the likelihood that you might have caught this virus by going to a place full of people.

What is the rational in your brain?
Do you think the virus hasnt arrived yet or something?
Are you mentally deficient?
Are you a moron?

Go hungry or go to the Supermarket for half an hour when the disease it no-where near its peak yet to stock up?

Are you mentally deficent? Are you a moron?

Ah yes Katie Porter the congresswomen from California. Her office posts the video up and it's like watching a surgeon at work such is the level of incisions made.

But you are tho.

Youve been repeatedly told on a daily basis to avoid close contact and large crowds.
That there is a virus thats spread from droplets from other people.

I work in a 90 employee non tech based SME. About 70 of our staff worked as a trial run from home today as a test. Worked well.

What's the situation for those who can't work from home, just carry on for the moment I suppose?..

Trying to plan what to do, with kids being off (most likely indefinitely so need to have one of us at home all the time).

I'm not even sure it's worth the hassle of worrying and trying to juggle it, probably only a matter of time before non essential services are closed anyway, here's hoping.

Is anybody like me, and feel this closing down of things and social distancing isn't too much of a hardship? I mean, we can still eat, bills will eventually be paid, there's lots of things we can do to enjoy these weeks - even if lockdown happened we could get by with the internet and whatsapp groups etc - avoiding an infectious disease which has the potential to **** with our immune response is far, far worse.

Let's lessen the underlying fear and enjoy a break from.the norm, for a change.

Sitting in reading books and eating tinned foods for a month or so sounds a lot better to me than experiencing some of the carnage we've seen in Italy.

I thought Coveney spoke quite well. He was very explanatory and not spooked by any questions. He's doing well in an absolute **** sandwich of a situation.
