The rumour was it was a nurse who had confirmed positive, rumour circulating with it that a Secondary school teacher in the Boys School in Callan was a confirmed case also.

Iāve just seen some similar bullshit on linkedin.
I too regularly work from home and I can share some tips;
- Strategically time your emails. Donāt be lashing them all out as needed. Rather pace them over the course of the day. For extra brownie points, have one written and ready to send out at the end of the day (4pm max) then send it about 7.30 in the evening.
- Lash out an email while you are lying in the scratcher in the morning. This will make them think you are already hard at work, while also giving you an option to say, well I started at 7 this morning, so Iām finishing up early this evening.
- Cc more people than necessary, so they know you are working
- When you are actually working from home with no distractions youād be surprised what can be achieved in a day. A large part of the work day is taken up with nonsense. 5 or 6 20 minute bursts would get you through a days work no bother. Well it would get me through a days work anyway, but I donāt work particularly hard.
- If you are particularly productive one day, hold back some stuff for a day when youāve done fuck all.
- If managed correctly, you can work from home while also attending a wedding or other such event thus saving on leave days (not that this will be an issue for the next few weeks).
- If you report to someone, call them a couple of times a day for some makey uppy reasons. This works two fold, it makes them think you are working away, but also it will give them an opportunity to address any issues they might be planning on calling you about. Donāt give them the chance to catch you on the hop.
Iāll update with more when they come to me

China and Italy have done a far better job of dealing with this crisis and thatās widely acknowledged internationally.
China fucked up right at the beginning. Everybody knows that. Since then, theyāve bought the world time.
China and Italy have tested on a massive scale and introduced real, serious measures to combat the virus.
The US has not.
You yourself have said that the spread of the virus is uncontrollable, so we can take anything you say and toss it to one side as totally worthless.
The US has tested 5 (five) people per million. That is a total disgrace, yet you somehow think itās a success.
Trump has called the virus a hoax and a Democratic conspiracy. He has told the people of the USA that the virus will simply go away. He has hobbled his own CDC and disregarded their advice and put people at risk. He has pushed an anti-science narrative at every turn. And now he probably has it himself. He is only out to protect himself, not the people of the USA.
You think calling the virus a hoax and saying that it will go away is admirable.
The problem you have is youāre desperate to defend Trump at all costs and thatās leading you to make a total fool of yourself.
As always.
Italian inaction is the reason its on our shores, but lets blame Trumpā¦

Everybody has made a bollix of it to some degree. Italy less so than the US.
Itās an inconvenient fact for some lads here, and thatās why theyāre seething over it.

Itās increasingly difficult to even begin to understand the position of leftists on this one. The latest narrative over here from the loons is that itās racist to claim the virus originated in China or call it the Wuhan virus where it originated.

Did I blame Trump for the virus being in Ireland? Answer the question, now.
Why do you talk about Italian inaction? Why not Irish inaction, given that the problem you refer to is an Irish one? As of yesterday, people coming into Ireland from a red zone like Italy were being waved on as if the situation was normal and not being told to self-isolate.
Whereās that personal responsibility that right-wingers like to talk about? Oh yeah, gone missing again when it conveniently suits.
Italy banned flights from China, by the way.
Do you think we should we ban flights from the US, given that they have more cases, and more cases in the areas where flights are coming from?
Can posters stop trying to score left / right political points on this.
The virus doesnt recognize political ideology - we all need to row in together here.

The virus is from China. Itās clearly a commy
Are you going with some sort of weird culture wars narrative now as a last resort given that youāre all out of ideas after making a fool of yourself running with the narrative that telling people the virus is a hoax, saying it will go aaway of its own accord, and conducting 5 tests per million is successfully dealing with the problem?
