I hope you and your family are well, mate, as I do everybody - even if some posters here fancy sacrificing mine for kicks.
Can’t say fairer than that.

Ive been saying it on here for weeks, some lads need to find zen. These are unprecedented times for this generation. Without zen they won’t make it.
I’d say it’s horrible truth be told.
Saying that, must be nice to talk to them and give feedback without little bollocks’ giving gip.

Mate, you know nothing about what I do and that point isn’t at all relevant to what I sad,
But anyway, my wife is doing 50/60 hour weeks at the moment, often nights, I’ve 4 kids that I’m homeschooling or whatever you want to all it, we do take some days off, I’ve loads of work that I need to do that is school related, I nee to have individual contact with my pupils because my class is differentiated to the nth degree, It’d be a hell of a lot easier for me if this was over.
Now you or somebody will probably accuse me of whinging but I only say this because you appear to think that I’m sitting on my hole waiting for my (far from substantial) salary to pop into my account, I’m not whinging, I’m trying to see the positives of which there are many, I’m getting to spend loads of time with the kids and the dogs, I get out for a run everyday. I get to cook fresh meals and bake etc,
I understand that people will be affected fat worse than me in the long term, but I don’t accept that otherwise healthy people should be crying about mental health after a couple of weeks at home, they’re an accident waiting to hapoen

Irish society as we know and understand it will never be the same again after this, it will be a total reset
If theres any consolation in it, it’s the fact that it will be a global reset
do you think we’ll ever be able to shake hands again with someone, I can’t see it for at least 4 years

Dunno kid. I just wonder will any good come out of this in terms of human spirit.
There’s no way Ireland should be like Italy. It’s a small island on the most westerly point of Europe.
Ireland has all the natural advantages that countries like Italy and Spain don’t, they had prior warning from the likes of Italy to guard against it.

I fear “spit & shake” may be consigned to the history books.
I fear I’ll have to wear the full ppe gear and a coopers helmet before getting up on the wife
Fire away mike. Just no kissing. Be grand.

What’s gone wrong in the UK? Pure arrogance and negligence? 10% death rate. They had the advantages you describe. Geographical and prior warning.
Ah! That explains a lot. You’re 15 or 16 so.
Ssshhhh, quit interfering.
They haven’t been testing a lot.
Was chatting a bit about this earlier with the father-in-law-to-be, could we see a phased re-introduction of some places if they can pass a “covid test”. As an example he was on about setting up a putting green in his garden and we were talking about the local driving range near him - surely a driving range is something that would be fairly easy to introduce distancing and hygiene measures. It would be easier for some places than others, but it’ll have to be a phased thing rather than suddenly dropping all restrictions and letting us loose at the pubs anyway.
