Or an all island approach.

A wall around much of Antrim would do the trick I'd say. Block off Aldergrove, George Best and Arlene's house. We can deal with whatever comes through Derry.

Missed the live performance.

Cam some one clarify the points below.

I presume they are all now banned as they are practically the same thing??

1) Take away points in pubs not allowed?
2) Take away drinks from restaurants not allowed?
3) Off licenses closed?
4) Sale of alcohol in supermarkets not allowed??

You have a one track mind

Country goes into a hard national lockdown and these are your first 4 questions:pac::D

Communications and phone repair is essential and was open during the lockdown last lockdown proper

I don't know the answer. Been quite a while since I did it, even then we had about 25 in the class. With different levels I guess it would be even more fragmented.

In our school if the class wasn't full it wouldn't run. It needed at least 25 to run but it was almost always 30 students. They wouldn't (couldn't) hire a teacher to teach only 15 people

If you didn't have enough for one level you'd combine them, so the teacher had to teach hounours and pass at the same time, going back and forth between them and giving extra classes after school for the honours students

Sometimes a student wouldn't get all their optional subjects, but made sure everyone always got their first choice of subject

Teachers are the most expensive thing in the educations system, you wouldn't run a class with 15 students, I assume that hasn't changed

If the shinners are calling for partition then its off the fupping scales bad. Honestly at this stage think we could use them in charge , they couldn't possibly be any worse than MM and co at the wheel.

Taking 15 of us and another 50 as advisers and we'd not do any worse

What about bookies, tanning salons and cafes are they essential or are they closing?

Varadkar saying the Health Service being great doesn't prevent people getting covid in the first place.

Sounds very much like blaming people who have contracted the virus.

Maybe he should look at two members of his own government and blame them personally too.

Baseless politically motivated comparison.
Not possible to apportion blame in an individual case since some people covered up the fact that they were in a high risk situation which those around them could not know about...or they did not restrict movements as directed.
That's different to someone ,say, who moved around in a crowd without a mask and was infected.

Why wouldn’t you run a class with 15 kids. Sitting at home or in school the teachers are still on the payroll.

So we can still get takeaway pints?

Amazon is going to make an absolute fortune. There’s also no VAT on items from Amazon.co.uk due to a Brexit loophole if they’re valued under €22

People on about closing off licenses really?

If off licenses were shut the hospitals would not be able to cope. Thousands upon thousands of alcoholics would need medical supervision to detox.

Riots would happen and break ins would happen all over the country. Suicide rate would jump through the roof.

Happy though the take away pints are done away with, should never of been allowed.

Teachers have given up before even trying to make a safe plan. Disappointing attitude.

It's not primary. LC would mean different teachers.

Everywhere but in schools it says considered a close contact if 15 minutes in company of someone who tests positive. LC students are adult sized some are size of rugby players, but yeah safe.:rolleyes:

... they worked out during the summer how many teachers they needed to hire that year for the number of students they had

rather than having two classes with 15 students you combine the classes into one so you only have to pay one teacher and you only have to hire the one teacher. That's why some students don't get their options, that's why small schools offer fewer options

If there are 46 people wanting to do home economics then there is only one home economics class, you don't run one class of 30 and one of 16 (or two of 23) because that's an extra teacher.

You think Covid was the only threat to a person with CF?

Tpcl20 wrote: »

It's immensely bigger risk for somebody with CF when the health service is collapsed due to a pandemic versus if they caught something like a flu during the normal course of things. Especially due to the unknowns in how this will impact individuals.

Don't you think that people who have underlying conditions should have access to education or something? Weird hill to die on.

Plumbthedepths wrote: »

Nonsensical response tbh. By your logic if some can’t none should.

No, I don't think that. People should have access to education if they have underlying conditions or family with same. I have quoted the relevant posts to show that at no point did I make any suggestion even resembling what you're claiming. I won't be responding to further posts as I have made my point and it's clear what your position is.
