    Rush is a great movie, I've been an F1 fan since I was a kid and one of my earliest F1 memories was a documentary on the 1976 season, absolutely captivating year for F1.
    they now have live practice on the TV . Tell me you dont watch the feckin practice.


    RUSH was great . Both Hunt and Lauder were very well played .

        Just felt very different to the atmosphere of the last few weeks. Perhaps a few cooler showery days coming over the weekend will quieten things down again.
        Sample size etc. But also Holohan said today that the virus is basically contained outside of nursing homes today. Someone else from NPHET said the numbers are flat since the 3rd of April when you strip out the results from the backlog of old tests.

        My uneducated reading of the situation is that we've been well on top of it for a good while at this stage. Remains to be seen I suppose. FWIW cycling around Limerick today people seemed to be distancing as much as ever. Compliance has seemed good just from what I've seen all along living in the city centre.

                        I have a few question in relation to nursing homes, hopefully someone has read or knows the answers and can fill me in.

                        I've an Aunt whom is more like a grandmother to me in a home, my dad is youngest of 11 siblings. I have always been very close to her. She is 91, has dementia but is in decent enough nick otherwise and responding well to a change of meds three month ago.

                        The home is Covid free so far. Her Doctor rang my dad today, and basically asked how hard he wanted them to try save her if there's a break out there and she catches it. Adding that it's a horrible death for the elderly.

                        I'd read into that as bang her up on morphine until she passes if she gets it. This in my view is a very fair and civilized question to ask and I see it as humane.

                        My questions are is in relation to the staff of nursing homes. I've been told that a decent % of staff in the homes come from direct provision centers. How true is this ?

                        I'm sure there could be many over qualified people living in direct provision centers working in homes providing excellent care. So I'm inclined to accept it is the case.

                        Also Anecdotally & I hope this doesn't come across as racist as it's certainly not meant as such. All the night shift change over staff at the home the Aunt is in are non Irish. So having been told the above. I assume right or wrongly, many live in direct provision.

                        My question is, are these staff just going home after work to these cramped centers and mixing with staff from other nursing homes ?

                        I'd like to think surely the HSE has joined the dots on this one and have procedures in place to make sure this isn't the case. It seems such an obvious thing not to allow happen but is it being done ?

                          Showing a very small % of asshats as being representatives of a whole country either now, or for its entire history, is completely stupid, almost pathetic.

                          What do you think is the most successful country ever and why?

                            It was incredible. He basically supported them. "Well these people, they respect me, and respect my opinion". Didn't condemn them in the slightest but Im not sure we can feign surprise, he has history.

                              Fruit picking is a very tough job I’m going to have a guess it’s a min wage job. Also the possibility that accommodation is taken out of the wages. Working on a government building job the last 15 months and one company an Irish one has a totally foreign workforce. Having up to 110 men on the job and not one Irish person among them. You can go into there website and they also advertise apprenticeships and jobs. It does not mean they will give an Irishman a job. No overtime even on weekends have to wait 15 mins after you finish work to clock out treated like shit. I’m guessing if you are from Moldova where the average wage is circa 300 euro a month you’ll put up with it. I wonder what pay and conditions are like in keelings.

                                There are approx 4.5k people living in direct provision, of which around 40% are granted the right to work. The last time I saw figures it was approx 650 people had taken up the opportunity to work.

                                There was an article a few days ago indicating that 85 people from direct provision working in this field had applied to move out: https://www.rte.ie/amp/1130155/ . I suspect that makes up almost all of those working in the field.

                                The government have also put in extra measures for people in direct provision which are more restrictive than our measures. I think it's something they're addressing for the workers, remaining people in centres and the people theyre caring for so not the biggest issue at hand.

                                Perhaps it's been a contributing factor but I think the Irish government have systematically failed those in nursing homes in more impactful ways.

                                  I've been in more of them than most, as I used to pick up blood samples from GPs, nursing homes, and vets. Most of them really are horrible places, in fact I can only think of one that was nicer than the vet shops.

                                    I'm sure being very old is grim . I hope when I'm incapacitated I get to live in a nursing home . So sometime next year will do. The kids can visit.

                                            The last thing I read was 650 or so people in direct provision had taken up the opportunity to work at all out of around 4.5k, that was circa 2019.

                                            According to that RTE article from a few days ago, 85 people in Direct Provision who are working in the Healthcare industry applied for alternative accommodation.

                                            My personal opinion is that anyone living in Direct Provision wants to get out of Direct Provision.
                                            I'd imagine those 85 people represent close to 100% of people from Direct Provision working in healthcare.

                                            85 is a tiny % of all people in Healthcare so their impact is probably pretty small.

                                              Our family business was nursing homes. After much deliberation, sold up 18 months ago after a decent offer from a bigger Group.

                                              Can't even imagine what it must be like to be involved in the same at the moment.

                                                afaik, accommodation is covered. It's going to be a growing concern come the summer/harvest months if we/europe still has restrictions.
                                                It's a tough min wage job that's done by seasonal workers, that's the case in most of the developed world. Hard to know what the answer is to the issue. Local workers? Will they do it? Govt intervention to "put" people to work for their covid money? Increase wages would also increase prices.
                                                It's a problem I'm glad I don't have to solve.
                                                Let's toss out, hire local workers, pay the same but govt top up based on performance/weight picked.
                                                Would that be a popular solution?

                                                Now, that covers 200 or so in keelings. What about the rest?

                                                  A growing concern indeed.

                                                    not a chance in hell you get even 10 people in Ireland willing to do the job to the level required.

                                                    If the government tries to 'force' them through benefits restrictions or what have you, they'll turn up and make a balls of it until they're sent home.

                                                    Just a stick to beat the government with, the one big thing that's come out of this on a personal level for me is how low my bar is for reading idiots opinions. Pretty much only read here now and occasional news reports.

                                                    My perusing of the internet was low anyway but it's dropping to almost zero.

                                                      The Minister for Finance Paschal Donohoe will hold a virtual meeting with executives from Insurance Ireland on Friday afternoon amid concerns that the industry is relying on fine print and technicalities to avoid business interruption payouts while much of the economy is in Covid-19 lockdown.

                                                        Which to me makes no sense. Figure we should be seeing a slow decline. Agree re bargains but I also don’t if nows the time to buy said bargains
                                                        What I thought was interesting is that year to date, the stock market has had more +/- 3% moves than the entirety of 2009! The fall this time was much much sharper too so I think a clearing price was just found quicker, so the breakeven since then doesn't surprise me. This was supported by i) uncertainty, ii) lack of liquidity in the short end adding to panic iii) rotation from asset classes.

                                                        I would look closely at the hotels, air lessors and OEMs which will be good multiyear buys. I always look to buy when things are at their worst (sentiment wise), the rally in the last fortnight makes me a little more nervous short term, but this time next year I just know many of the good low-leverage, high liquidity cyclicals will be higher than they are now.

                                                        I've an Aunt whom is more like a grandmother to me in a home, my dad is youngest of 11 siblings. I have always been very close to her. She is 91, has dementia but is in decent enough nick otherwise and responding well to a change of meds three month ago.

                                                        The home is Covid free so far. Her Doctor rang my dad today, and basically asked how hard he wanted them to try save her if there's a break out there and she catches it. Adding that it's a horrible death for the elderly.
                                                        From what I gather they always ask your view, as its lower hassle but the doctor will always do what's right. For example, if you opt into a DNR that will always be respected, although if you're fit you'd need to be assessed to ensure you're of sound mind, if you say "i want to be resuss" that'll only be done where it's right regardless of wishes.

Increases wages to what though? Keelings abd every other food producer have to make a profit. Accommodation possibly an issue as well.

This evening there was a very noticeable uptick in the number of cars on the road, people walking in groups and cycling clearly further than 2K from home.
                                                              Just felt very different to the atmosphere of the last few weeks. Perhaps a few cooler showery days coming over the weekend will quieten things down again.
                                                              Have to say I'm noticing in South Dublin that the observance of social distancing is really starting to slacken Now I think that most people are not venturing far from home, but within our estate people are noticeably engaging in chats closer and closer to each other as time goes on, some neighbours seemed to have a garden party of about 8 a few days ago, people not moving away when passing on the footpath, etc...

                                                              Guess without a firm date of the end of restrictions, and in a situation where many people don't know anyone who actually has the virus and thus probably don't feel particularly threatened (sorta feel this way myself), it is very tough to maintain this unnatural situation indefinitely.

Also the possibility that accommodation is taken out of the wages. Working on a government building job the last 15 months and one company an Irish one has a totally foreign workforce. Having up to 110 men on the job and not one Irish person among them. You can go into there website and they also advertise apprenticeships and jobs. It does not mean they will give an Irishman a job. No overtime even on weekends have to wait 15 mins after you finish work to clock out treated like shit. I’m guessing if you are from Moldova where the average wage is circa 300 euro a month you’ll put up with it. I wonder what pay and conditions are like in keelings.

                                                                I seriously dont see the outrage here, Every year these people come into the country and do this job... What I am told is that there conditions are shite enough... barely legal which means no Irish person would ever do the job, but compared to where these people are coming from it's a good job

                                                                As a Yellow belly I wouldn't let 95% of the dole Que walk by a strawberry field let alone pick the fruit, it is a really seriously demanding job, I couldn't do it today even if I wanted to!

                                                                Tesco's / DHL / Primeline cant get people to drive forklifts for 11euro an hour, you think Irish people are going to break there backs for 10.50 an hour?

                                                                Seen on Twitter that the UK government were being pressured into chartering flights to get these workers in as well, Yes all of them pose a risk but is this risk managable I say it would be, the amount of money tied up in a harvest if Keelings or any of these other producers ended up with Covid break out at their facilities, shut down and losing a crop could cost them a fortune! Don't forget these guys are all under serious contracts with Tesco's / Dunnes / etc and if Karen from Facebook gives out that there is no Strawberry's there will be hell to pay

                                                                We did this to our selves cause we are all cu*ts, Just not as big of cu*ts as the Insurance sector.... Did anyone get notice about their life policy? heard a few people got notice if they die from covid19, it falls under the act of god clause and they wont pay out... seriously dont know if that is true but heard it can't find anything to confirm it?

                                                                          I only ask as I know Laya are giving 195e per person back over the next 3 months.

                                                                          I know all insurers are unscrupulous so unsure why they're giving money back.

                                                                          I know *why* in the sense that it's because private hospitals are being taken over but more surprised because I haven't seen any government directive.

What I am told is that there conditions are shite enough... barely legal which means no Irish person would ever do the job, but compared to where these people are coming from it's a good job

The payout would be more than net worth
