I guess the assumption is if youve been tested you know the gravity of the situation and so will isolate.This may or may not be an original thought of my own.
All efforts were made to make this thought original but with the abundance of thoughts in the world the originality of this thought cannot be guaranteed.

I'm so far away from having a go at you, and understand your situation, but really think its worth reconsidering if you are turning up to work just because you feel you are letting down people who aren't thinking about your safety.

It’s going to start getting very messy for workplaces(even ones who manufacture critical products) very soon. So many more people if not catching it themselves will be living with someone Who has been tested, has it, has a non covid but similar symptom illness, have childcare issues (only 1 day of that so far, many would rely on parents if creches closed but use advice is not to) etc
Have a feeling in my place that even if commitment made to pay is made people will just stop showing up when numbers spike , which will happen this week

I've also seen photos of some rental cars in the car rental lot with Garda logos on them.
Maybe it is a wind up but if it is, a fair amount of time and effort has been put into it to make it credible, suppose all good wind ups need that.
My source is generally spot on with this type of stuff but only time will tell I guess.People say I should be more humble I hope they understand, they don't listen when you mumble

We mightn't be in that bad a shape after all.
Apparently a good % of the world ventilator supply is made here in Galway by Covidian, an arm of Medtronic.
Hopefully they aren't all exported like food was during the famine.

But, it is surely one of the most likely places that can spread disease and virus of any kind. They said they are constantly cleaning chips and cards but that seems impossible to me. Oh and also going 8 handed instead of 9. LOL

I say there is going to be a lot of bullshit posted in social media over the next few days/weeks so would take anything you hear with a large dose of salt.
Already theres a fake doctor post making the rounds. Some people are such idiots.No beast so fierce but knows some touch of pity, but I know none, therefore am no beast.

Originally posted by dobby View PostNo I get it, trip was cancelled then due to multiple factors. I dont feel like I'm letting anyone down if I don't turn up. I need to turn up so I dont get sacked because when this virus passes I still need a job. As I said earlier, telling your employer you're not coming in or being able to wfh is a massive luxury.

One of the guys on my team, not a drama queen by any means, texted me to say there'll be a government announcement tonorrow at 11 closing everything except supermarkets. And for those only to be open 3 hours a day.
Which sounds like a recipe for unmitigated panic.
Either way (and I'm sure the above must be bs), looking forward to going down the shraaap route amd eating nothing but tinned French delicacies for the next few weeks. And maybe learning how to trap squirrels."We are not Europeans. Those people on the continent are freaks."
