Jim if I saw it correctly you thanked a post that berated a group of people who did follow the restrictions.

Not just teachers but school bus drivers, SNA's and school cleaners. These people are all risking a lot.

In my OH class, the teacher has headcold, got tested is negative but the sub that was in could have been in many other schools subbing over the last couple of weeks. She wasnt up to speed with the procedures(had kids moving between pods etc). Multiply this by every school with poor precedure enforcement.

Crazy stuff. Hungary are seeing a big increase in case numbers over the last couple of weeks and then they allow this!

His post was a jibe over "overreaction" here

Watch the schools. They don't want us to, but there we go.

The Donegal outbreak is not good. But in fairness Donegal is a little fiefdom of their own, just look at the Garda history there and the myriad of car crash deaths, RIP. And they are a forgotten people UP THERE, reckon they have far more in common whether they agree or not, with places like Derry rather than Dublin.

We shall see.

That is quite frankly nonsense. The numbers are high and measures are justified but it could happen anywhere. Nothing to do with some kind of fiefdom.
Vast majority of Donegal people took the same precautions as everyone else. All it takes is a relatively small number of individuals making bad decisions, once infection gets a foothold exponential growth starts.
Our numbers were low all summer long.

This blame game is not helpful, when vast majority are doing their best.

Heard about this yesterday morning. There’s a primary school teacher involved too that has also been going to work.

The primary school teacher is the publicans wife,and yes she went to work on Monday morning for a number of hours before all hell broke loose.

Anyone noticing people are starting to stop wearing masks in shops/supermarkets?
Where it was around 95% I reckon it's down to about 80% now - in Lidl today and of about 40 people in the place saw about 6 not wearing masks, same with local spar shop - many going in with no mask and not bothering with the hand sanitizer

No the complete opposite, every shop i have been in in the limerick and clare area its 100% mask wearing. Your looked upon like a lepper if your not wearing one.

Nothing at all apart from the amount of alcohol most of them consumed.

I've noticed many not using hand sanitiser but at the same time many of us carry our own and may have washed hands before going intot he shop so I don't judge. As for masks personally it's extremely seldom in my experience I see anyone indoors without one on

Average of 88 per day based on CSO figures from pervious years. This year the daily rate maybe higher .

Do people realise that the virus isn’t *caused* by people getting up close to each other?

The amount of stuff you see online about groups not social distancing, like the party in the flats, with comments like “oh watch the numbers here next week”. Or the inverse, where there are cases somewhere that had followed guidelines down to a tee, you’ve got people saying “but they followed guidelines, how could this happen?!”

The issue is obviously we don’t know who has it. In the first example, maybe no one in the flats had it. Happy days. In the second example, the guidelines aren’t bullet proof.

It just seems like all this talk of things like “it doesn’t spread in supermarkets otherwise every staff member of Lidl would be dead” or “you can’t open the pubs, we’ll all die” both seem silly to me.

It’s just about reducing risk where possible.

I’ve definable seen a drop in mask wearing in shops. Sanitizer about 50% of the time used. I don’t care anymore, I’ve my own top of the range masks and carry sanitizer in my pocket, self preservation now is my focus, feck the idiots.

I've only seen one person in a supermarket without a mask in the last few weeks. But do notice a lot skipping the hand sanitizer, probably on some assumption the mask offers all the safety elements they need.

The impact of dirty hands and dirty masks need to be a message got across.

The amount of dirty masks I've seen and I'm talking of the disposable ones

Maybe I need to change to a better neighbourhood for my shopping

I carry my own. The last few times I went to my local SuperValu, you’d press the hand sanitizer and it’d be empty. Then wonder how many others had tried the same. Ugh.

The dirty mask thing is definitely an issue. Masks are required at drop off for my kids school even though it’s all outdoors, the yard gets busy enough. There’s one dad who I’m sure hasn’t washed his white mask since the 1st September. It looks like a pair of painters overalls. ****ing disgusting

Between 80 and 100 people die every day in Ireland. Statistically Covid barely registers as a cause of death.

It is easy to put on a mask, equally easy to use hand gel.

Don't get the rebels who don't observe at all. Rebels oh yea I forgot. And first in line for the marches too.

I never use the hand sanitizer in shops I don't want to touch something that hundreds of people have used.

I wash my hands and use my own sanitizer. So you should not assume people are not aware of dirty hands. Soap is much more effective anyway.
