I went for a cycle in the Phoenix Park there (alone, miles away from everyone and everything). Some absolute bint walking along with her friend decides to just dump a load of rubbish on the ground. Her friend picks it up. She's now handling stuff her friend had obviously handled totally unnecessarily. People need to cop the fudge on.

How's everyone getting on with the whole working from home and in some cases teaching from home?
I think I'm getting into some sort of routine now. We had to collect the kids' books from the school yesterday with plenty of work to keep them occupied. They have their own routine now.
Joe Wicks PE - 9 to 9.30
Schoolwork until 11
Snack until 11.30
Oti Mabuse dance class until 12
Bit of schoolwork until they get bored
Lunch

Sorry, but what fúcking school allowed parents in yesterday?

I'm buying a supermarket today whilst sitting in the sun. Could be worse.

He's a arrogant prat with zero self-awareness.

As perfect an example of the Dunning-Kruger effect as you'll find.

Noticed returnees who should be self immolating doing there own shopping
Got plenty of family who could leave it at the door.

Self immolating? Well, it'd be one way of getting rid of the risk anyway.

[lilyw]

And, as noted previously, the last thing you want to foster is a 'them and us' atmosphere amongst certain parts of the community.

That post is funny on so many levels.

Dunning-Kruger was mentioned elsewhere.

And just casually dropped into the conversation. Yet another example of the PI gravy train getting out of hand.

[ID2]

There appear to be people who seem to think they had it back in Nov/Dec/Jan, which would make them think they are immune now, which will change their behaviour.

Boards.ie - the breeding ground for cranks, moaners and conspiracy theorists

In fairness, there's been talk on here of people having it earlier in the year, heard it plenty of other places too in person and online. Same story with some Brits I know. Presumably just some variant of this years normal flu season but I suppose it can't be 100% ruled out yet that it's been around longer than we know. China planting stories about it emerging elsewhere no doubt helps increase the doubt

[Floppykid]

Shinner/SU left braying about our new "socialised" medical system and how easy it's been to switch to and how we should never go back now that the private hospitals have been utilised by the state.

Seen a few posts like that on fb took along with the other measures the government are taking, people don't seem to realise we'll be paying for this for decades

Of course they don't, SF and the populist dopes online will make hay though.
Hopefully Leo/MM can slap it down forcefully and try to bring things back down to earth.

Yeah he’s almost always wrong but he takes it in good spirits - unlike certain others who cannot admit it when they are wrong...

Mog's funny but can verge on tedious a lot.
Everything becomes a contrarian, sometimes foolish to the point of satire, look at me, which is good in small doses.

[danthefan]

The amount of people who have confused "we are reprioritising who we test" with "we are going to do fewer tests" is mind boggling.

People are determined to whip themselves up into a frenzy, social media addiction.

Is he being earnest when he quotes bro science and bro politics as hard common sense? I'm not sure.

[paddyor]

Looking at the numbers, it looks like the Netherlands got the policy badly wrong. 63 deaths yesterday with a total of 276 so far. 811 new cases yesterday. Could get really bad really quickly given they ignored social distancing for a considerable period of time.

You do realise it's a country far smaller than Ireland with 4 times Irelands population. Also the bulk of that huge population live in the Randstad. Population density is a killer for spreading virus

And.....this makes them less incompetent how? A week ago you were walking around saying chillax it'll be grand and then they slammed the down the controls.

This may surprise you Paddy but I don't actually run the country so my personal opinions have sweet FA to do with it. The idea that you lads know what has been going on here a thousand km away is quite frankly laughable

We can read the news thanks.

[paddyor]

I know a person in a position to not be bullshit.

Apparently there aren't enough tests being manufactured to continue with the numbers globally and Governments are being advised to test frontline staff only.

And this isn't a Whilhelm and the retired Guard type.

Rumour around the new Galway testing centre is that we're going to restrict testing to a more severe set of symptoms because the current 90% negative tests are too much of a strain on resources.

And that's right tbh. i've seen some dumb whatsapps. Need to get the young fella tested because some other young fella was tested. That sort of thing.

Sorry, but what fúcking school allowed parents in yesterday?

They didn't allow them IN. They laid out the books on benches in the school yard, all distanced apart and people were able to come, keep their distance from each other and collect the material. All very civil, people keeping their distance etc and leaving promptly without stopping for a chat.

Same as what they did in ours. Even did 2m chalk marks.

May as well use up some of the chalk budget for the year

93% of samples tested at the National Virus Reference Laboratory (14,692) have tested negative, according to Fergal Bowers.

Didn't say otherwise but 6% of 40,000 is still greater than 1,500. Even if you say it's not far off, that's assuming no new cases at all apart from those 40k. You're also more likely to see a greater return of positive test as it spreads more.

With regards to the change in testing, is it coming with change in advice? We're all meant to be locking down anyway but there's so many asymptomatic people out there with it being unclear how contagious they are that we can't really afford to be lax.

It is. But testing has been heavily focused around known cases. If you expand testing out beyond contact tracing the +ve % will be lower.

Re the asymptomatic/contagious thing. You are contagious but it's low risk. You'd need to swap saliva with someone like kisssing etc. It's low risk contagious. You only become high risk contagious when it gets into your cells and starts reproducing to a point that it begins to eject copies in a process know as shedding and then you cough or sneeze and send the virus back into the atmosphere. That's usually a few days(2-4 is the workign theory) before you develop symptoms.

Ciara Kelly mentioned that they did no contact tracing for the days before she felt symptoms which I thought was odd.
