Another colleague has gotten it since, none of the rest of us were told. It’s daft.

TheUlteriorMotive · October 20, 2020, 9:35pm

And yet the public is to blame.

Community infection or at work? It’s a shit show…

Batigol · October 20, 2020, 9:36pm

Hopefully we don’t ever put higher ups from the HSE in charge of just about everything in the country. Can you imagine that shitstorm?

peddlerscross · October 20, 2020, 9:36pm

The people have thrown their hats at it.

Raylan · October 20, 2020, 9:37pm

First case was community, second is from work interaction

TreatyStones · October 20, 2020, 9:38pm

Have they been asked about it at the press conferences?

carryharry · October 20, 2020, 9:38pm

Is it becoming common this work transmission? Are precautions not being properly explained or is it lax work practices?

Damien English on being an outlier ‘Other countries like Wales and Belgium are following Ireland lead’

A bit of both in our place. We have to wear the mask pretty much everywhere, all day (12 hours). Lads take them off in the break room to eat and tend to relax other measures then.

Now we had one clown who came in knowing he was a close contact and with symptoms which didn’t help, and obviously we often deal with “difficult” passengers from all over the world so it could transit pretty easily anyway

Mac just spanked English ( and Matt ).

Raylan · October 20, 2020, 9:42pm

Some of the clients are riddled with it, it’s unavoidable to a certain extent

TheUlteriorMotive · October 20, 2020, 9:44pm

Yeah they have added a few now

TreatyStones · October 20, 2020, 9:47pm

My work falls under an essential service, so a letter in the car should suffice.

The daughter has to go back to Cork next week for labs that can’t be done online presume I’ll be ok to tip across to Portlaoise to the train to drop her off next Monday?

TheUlteriorMotive · October 20, 2020, 9:53pm

Could you visit a grave on the way

Batigol · October 20, 2020, 9:54pm

How much do you need to know about the grave you are visiting?

iron_mike · October 20, 2020, 9:56pm

Fuck me we’ve made CNN.

Lazarus · October 20, 2020, 9:58pm

I have a few in Glasnevin and Clonmacnoise I need to check up on
