How do you turn off for non group messages? Didn't know you could do that.

To be fair, I still carry a 5 wood and a 7 wood as well as a rescue club along with a collection of irons.
Certainly enjoyed the day out and am champing at the bit to get out on the course again soon.

In both Ireland and the UK from the late 60's through to the 80's there were sustained campaigns to try to get people to wear seat belts millions were spent. I can't remember the exact numbers but compliance here peaked a significant bit (something between 5 and 10%) ahead of the UK. Laws were brought in to make wearing seat belt compulsory around '79 In the UK compliance went to 99% overnight in Ireland for the first couple of months compliance dropped and only improved when fines became widespread.
As bad as we are in France right up to the present if you go into most service stations they will have a seat belt buckle on sale that you can plug to stop the alarm beepingTurning millions into thousands

What are the chances the reduction in numbers are just because Covid19 is seasonal as are most Covid virus ?
Been watching a few pre Covid19 made Spanish Flu documentary's and two main elements stick with me are.
1. The 18 month was universally commented on as being a very brief pandemic.
2. The second wave of Spanish Flu killed 25x the first wave.

Why would anyone do that to themselves?

Gangs of London is one of the most violent shows i have ever seen on mainstream TV, only 2 episodes in.
RTE had a Leonard Cohen special on both sat night and tonight, RTE concert orchestra and special guests, some dude, Moncrieef blew me away, have never heard of him, Mick Flannery was amazing, along with Lisa Hannigan, and Felim Drew, I assume Ronnies, son, same black eyes was very good.
Highly Highly recommend catching it on the player.This too shall pass.

My local Gleesons butcher sells it at 300g for €6, effectively €5 if you multi-buy.
Which seems very cheap for fillet. Tastes grand but can't help wondering about it.

The CMO said community transmission was suppressed. Hospital and ICU admissions are probably as low as they're getting and have been for a week, so why continue to sit on our hands? I don't see the sense in having 400 empty ICU beds while keeping society paralysed. I think 2-3 weeks of pre-March 28th measures should be next up (ie no school, no pubs, no gatherings over say 100 people, only businesses that can ensure distancing re-open).
After that schools should re-open with reduced class sizes for 3 weeks, and then full classes for the last 2 weeks of the year to see what difference it makes. IMO it would be ludicrous not to use those weeks after which there is a natural break in school attendance to do some sort of experiment on how viable a return in September will be.
All to be done while hammering people with the idea of staying 2m apart and wearing masks and sanitising their hands 20 times a day.

True, but if its a droplet borne disease and kids are asymptomatic then the risk of transmission is low. Train them into not touching their face and wear masks and you reduce it further. Roll that in with the tiny risk profile of women between 20-40 (which most teachers seem to be) and maybe they can be convinced!

I haven't been too impressed with the teachers. My Dutch clients tell me their kids are on screen all of the school day doing virtual classes. None of that here - just a weekly email of 'suggested activity' and maybe they fire out a few attachments to print out. Otherwise, parents, you're on your own.
I suggested they do a daily Zoom class, even if only for an hour and was told data privacy precluded this. Absolute bollix."We are not Europeans. Those people on the continent are freaks."

Students would have the tablets in class and could do work on tablets at home, fully enclosed system without access to games etc and be graded individually and automatically, teachers would have had the opportunity to provide their own supplemental material which could then be used by other teachers in different schools to enhance their teaching.
The biggest issue wasn't the cost, which wasn't peanuts but was rolled into other gov contracts so not onerous by any means, but teacher push back. Can't do it, won't do it.
Maybe not much has changed.

They've had dance classes through Zoom so the privacy thing seems to be kinda nonsense. Would be nice to see it used as you said, for an hour or two of classes a day.

Resigned to them not going back to September at this point though.Unless they start early to make up lost time."We are not Europeans. Those people on the continent are freaks."

How do we feel that will be observed? Observation has clearly dropped the last while.
That said, I consider myself somewhat lucky in that I’ve had to go to work every day since this all started so I am getting out of the house, even it is just driving too and from work.
I do feel for people stuck at home. Mrs Lao Lao is definitely feeling the effects as she is now in her 7th week of working from home. No idea how people with kids are working from home and looking after them.
I've noticed my Dad really feel the strain as well. He rowed back after his initial bout of defiance but he is getting really fed up and isolated. There is only so many phone calls and talking to him from the garden I can do. He wants to be able to get out and about., even just to go for a walk. Today, I could really see he was down, so I told if he had to go out and get a bit of fresh air, just walk around the block rather than head down the village. The average age where he lives is about 80 so the chances of him bumping into anybody is slim, anytime I’ve been down to him, the whole estate is a like a ghost town.

to be honest, couldn't care less if they fell behind in history, Geography, english etc. as long as they catch up on sciences, there would be very little loss or damage over a term
