All types of people complain about that, no particular type really. Seems they lived in Australia so they probably weren’t complaining about it themselves.

…ne orders for pick up at designated times?Surely it means they don’t waste time packing shelves for astectics & means they provide a safer environment for their staff.They can surely pick up more staff to pick orders etc.Simple email or text to pick up your order. Also saves them in delivery costs

Loads are doing it at local level with emails etc

You can click and collect with supervalu but limited slots available. Def could be doing more of it

@carryharry

New infection number is okay but as I said the death number & icu one is bad.

50% of people going into ICU are not coming out of it.

@carryharry

Staff can’t be a reason at the moment

When you can get 350 quid to stay at home? Thats more or less the minimum wage after tax…lot of supermarket staff wouldnt be getting much more you would think

[Fagan_ODowd]

Supermarket staff are certainly not getting paid enough to be in the frontline against the virus.

@briantinnion

Hard to understand the movement but clearly some people not passing through ICU before dying.

Anyone in a nursing home wouldn’t be brought to ICU

[Thomas_Brady]

They were given a small raise but yeah, point stands. Think Tesco gave 15%

@Tassotti

Every cunt who went to Cheltenham should be tried for manslaughter when this is over

Easy to say now but this and airports etc should have been closed immediately. Surely medical experts could have predicted how fast this would spread. Did politicians listen? If not why not? And why didn’t the medical experts speak out months ago? Maybe they did but I haven’t seen vids yet.

Holohan said he wasnt recommending people returning from Cheltenham to self isolate on their return from England.

We closed the schools the day he said it.

This is the man running our pandemic response

[Thomas_Brady]

Ah stop.

Dr Tony has been watching this since Jan cc @Esteban_de_la_Sexfac… The Italian government had to stop flights flying into ireland, not the Irish gov.

@Thomas_Brady

They were given a small raise

Temporary raise…them staff are meeting a few thousand people a day.

[anon78624367]

And then going back to their families.

[Thomas_Brady]

Aside from the long hours they are now doing… Their anxiety must be off the charts.

[anon78624367]

We had a better defence than most of the world to shut this down almost completely.

We’re a tiny fucking island. Just stop people coming in

[Copper_pipe]

My workplace listed as an essential service but my employer has said they will make a call on it tomorrow as to whether it’ll be business as usual.

[JayGatsby]

They are all going down the herd immunity route but not publicly. That’s why they didn’t stop the flights or make people self isolate. They want this over with not postponed indefinitely.

[Thomas_Brady]

Thank you for your service.
