They won’t open. I’d say that’s it now until March. If they open, I’ll see what the numbers are like but it’s bloody scary at the moment

I would send mine in. The schools are doing a great job... if everyone did what they are doing we’d be fine... it’s the activities outside of school that are a problem.

There was a huge amount of socialising going on right up to New Year, the number of infections resulting directly from that won't become apparent until the end of next week, to me it makes zero sense reopening schools before the 18th.

Absolutely 100% agree. I suspect a vast majority of the littlies have been exposed already and the schools are being brilliant. I think secondary schools are dealing with kids who think they know better, by design. I’m a lot happier for my teen to miss school than my primary schooler. She’s really really struggling.

I’m not sure that’s fair to the majority of teenagers. Having spoken to a number of secondary teachers they have all praised their students for adapting and adhering to the new rules in place.

Also I’m not sure why smaller children are more likely to have been exposed than older kids?

not talking about schools here but I see kids congregating on the streets in groups each day, 10-16 yos roughly. i don't have kids but I'd imagine its very hard keep them indoors all the time.

It should depend on areas I think. I don't see them opening this month but hopefully a gradual reopening as areas numbers decline. I'm hoping most teachers are following guidelines as I know some beside me that don't. Teachers caught flaunting the rules should be made resign like politicians and heads of organisations. Thoughts?

its like anybody outside the workplace. you can go to work but your life is seriously curtailed outside work. thats the way it is at present. I know a carer, she goes to work and literally doesn't stir outside the door otherwise. gets her groceries delivered. she's doing it because of her job but as she said to me herself, she's miserable and her mental health is suffering. I can see why.

I've heard some teachers say it's awful hard work and takes a lot time preparing homeschool work. Ffs they use workbooks

I think it will be February before schools reopen. Get 1st lot of vaccinations given out and see how numbers go from there. Definitely not sending my child back next Monday have to protect my other child that had is in the high risk area.. And given that there was cases in the school allready. Everyone will have their own opinion on this and each choose their best options.

Of course! Kids need education, interaction, friends. The most cruel thing is taking their best years for stupid politician games. I would never be so selfish and destroy their childhood.

This a very interesting situation we are going through. What's not new is that, as usual, conflicted adults deciding the future (and somehow the present) of younger people.

I'm kind of divided. I truly think there's room for improvement in the education system, globally not only in Ireland. So in that sense I'm happy to homeschooling my children. But the world spins fast and they need to be prepared when we as parents aren't around for them.

On the other hand I feel for the children and teens that somehow find many more things in their school life than in their home life. A escape perhaps, friendship, a safe space where they can develop healthier than at home. Maybe that's not the reality of the majority but again being part of a minority doesn't mean they are less important....

It's hard for everyone but the fact is that schools have done great before. They didn't raise the numbers so I don't see why punish them.

if the schools close then so be it. I would hope its not for a considerable length of time but until then im happy enough homeschooling. We got pads and a standing boxing bag so theyre able to continue with their training to some extent. the weather isnt great but once its dry well be off out for a walk and fresh air.

I don’t think he thinks that deeply or has even realised that they’ve been in a pretty much normal routine for quite a while - in terms of schooling.

Then again, I’m not sure how much of anything he realises. How has he even the time to keep up with the current covid situation with the amount he talks about restrictions on here?

as I stated above, if you care to read, I'm not just on about schooling. I'm on about what parents are saying to me about their child's everyday life and they're struggling. do I understand what they mean? of course I do.

The schools and student have done very well September to December when the figures were manageable. Unfortunately adults don't have the discipline and/or the understanding to enjoy the ease of restrictions wisely. Combine that with the biggest festive season of the year and Boom! figures are out of control. While schools are not a primary driver of infection, the situation in schools still follows the pattern of the present infection situation in society. So unfortunately right now it wouldn't be wise to open them.

Everyone points at the schools while adults still can't wear masks appropriately, wash hands appropriately or socially distance appropriately in petrol stations, shops, supermarkets and every little backwater pub around the country before we even start on house parties. Aye shutting the schools will solve that!!

The schools and student have done very well September to December when the figures were manageable. Unfortunately adults don't have the discipline and/or the understanding to enjoy the ease of restrictions wisely. Combine that with the biggest festive season of the year and Boom! figures are out of control. While schools are not a primary driver of infection, the situation in schools still follows the pattern of the present infection situation in society. So unfortunately right now it wouldn't be wise to open them. "

hindsight is a great tool but we all knew what was going to happen over the festive period.

How do we know what the numbers are in relation to schools I've a fairly good idea in my area but overall no I don't.

Kids if they get virus probably show little or no symptoms the concern is what they bring home.

While the pattern of safety and schools are following guidelines in schools hours these don't follow after. This is especially aimed at secondary schools.... Kids meeting up once out the school gates where then the responsibility falls at Kids themselves and let's be honest most Kids don't social distance.

"talking to a few parents lately, kids are all over the place. their routines are screwed.

How can their routines be screwed? It was 2 weeks of Christmas holidays so far like we have every year. And before that we had almost 4 month of normal school routine with the exception of the usual Halloween break. I think there's something else screwed....

I don’t think he thinks that deeply or has even realised that they’ve been in a pretty much normal routine for quite a while - in terms of schooling.

Then again, I’m not sure how much of anything he realises. How has he even the time to keep up with the current covid situation with the amount he talks about restrictions on here? as I stated above, if you care to read, I'm not just on about schooling. I'm on about what parents are saying to me about their child's everyday life and they're struggling. do I understand what they mean? of course I do. "

“If you have flu-like symptoms, or any of the symptoms that I’ve just mentioned there, you can pretty much accept that this is likely to be Covid, because we’re seeing very little of the other viruses that cause these kinds of symptoms at this time of the year." T. Holohan

It looks like having doctor Holohan on board we could largely reduce HSE cost. Also should I conclude that covid is dominating between flu viruses???

very hard when your life is majorily curtailed. does it make sense the ports and airports were left open since last march for everybody? not a chance. what's the biggest superspreader with covid? House parties. never once tried to curtail them, even attempt it. 2 eg. they go along and shut golf courses and tennis courts when your in a wide open space using your own racket and clubs. it seems to me, 10 months on, they're is no separation. everything is just thrown into the one basket. its "go to work if you really have to and do fuck all else". finger pointing the other day at people going a bit beyond to walk a wide open beach to pass away a couple of hours. I'm like, will u just stop, they're doing nothing to anybody.

" it seems they can't do zilch only wait on the vaccine and pray to suffering Jesus it works.

I'm praying to suffering Jesus that you could possibly shut up for just one day? ..professor of all things covid and master of none.. as I stated before, you don't have to read anything or comment if you don't want to. complaining about threads has an easy solution. just avoid. we have supposedly experts in charge who haven't a bulls notion what to do 10 months on, only lockdown.

Can you name the scientists who don’t have a bulls notion please? (Not the politicians)

Also, if you provide some names can you critique, in scientifically robust terms, why they don’t have “a bull’s notion”?

This will be interesting.

Over to you, Einstein don't have a bulls notion?lol they're doing the same thing but expecting different results. as I said here the other day, ifs the definition of insanity. plenty of people equally as qualified as Tony holohan have different ideas. they ain't all singing off the one hymn sheet. you then come to lockdowns. they close x and leave y open when y has a much bigger chance of virus spread then x and they wonder why people are going mad 10 months into this.

Can I ask...are you a medical professional?doctor,nurse,

A scientist?do you work in pharma or bio pharma??

no,but plenty who disagree with Tony Holohan do and beyond.

And these plenty?who are theyyou don't listen to the news or radio or watch tv over the last 10 months? fair enough I say to lockdowns but the inadequacy is unreal. closing x with little or no threat and yet y is left open.

Ohhh gemma and the yellow shirts....ahh yes....a fine bunch...I think I'll stick to listening to the doctors,I think itd be safer....

So like the rest of us on here...your just giving your opinion on the situation...as you see it?

Your not a spokesperson for any large group or even small group....Gemma Doherty? lol you think she's qualified? I'm giving my opinion. most on here just sit like busted flushes and question nothing. if Tony told them to rim each others arses and it would rid covid, they'd do it. "

You asked did I watch the news...gemma was on it...being oppressed and whinging about covid taking away her freedom....

What's a busted flush??is it serious?do I need a test for it?well like I said...I'd rather listen to tony...than try and talk over him....hes the doctor after all

"at 10 months on there should be a lot more know how and separation of areas, superspreader/high risk v very little risk. to me, everything now is the same as march. "

It's all about limiting interactions though. Every interaction, no matter how small gives the virus opportunity to spread. And all the little interactions for each person add up. Multiply that by all the people who make those little interactions and we're in an even worse situation.

All this alongside trying to balance education and the economy and every fucker that thinks the rules don't apply to them/think it's all a load of bollocks and ignore the rules/try to find loopholes to exploit the rules.

How about just gritting your teeth and getting on with it?

as I keep saying, there is plenty of others, as equally as qualified as Tony Holohan giving their views. Tony holohan and NPHET have made no improvement to march even though they're revaluating every day with 10 months. separating areas from high risk to low risk etc.

Do you not see the irony there? plenty but the frustration of actions of those who are supposed to be experts would drive you mental. "

Take the kettle off the boil for yourself and have a walk or maybe a bit of self play time because you’re about to blow a head gasket

I'm gritting my teeth since last march. thats like saying "do the pure essentials (go to work) and do fuck all else in life". stepping outside the door increases risk but 10 months on, life has to move.

Nphet advise, the government "do" as you say, and sometimes don't. NPHETS advice is the exact same since last march. that's my point. the only difference now is there's a vaccine on the way.

Are you employed?"

i have said yes to that many a time many moons ago.

" it seems they can't do zilch only wait on the vaccine and pray to suffering Jesus it works.

I'm praying to suffering Jesus that you could possibly shut up for just one day? ..professor of all things covid and master of none.. as I stated before, you don't have to read anything or comment if you don't want to. complaining about threads has an easy solution. just avoid. we have supposedly experts in charge who haven't a bulls notion what to do 10 months on, only lockdown.

Can you name the scientists who don’t have a bulls notion please? (Not the politicians)

Also, if you provide some names can you critique, in scientifically robust terms, why they don’t have “a bull’s notion”?

This will be interesting.

Over to you, Einstein don't have a bulls notion?lol they're doing the same thing but expecting different results. as I said here the other day, ifs the definition of insanity. plenty of people equally as qualified as Tony holohan have different ideas. they ain't all singing off the one hymn sheet. you then come to lockdowns. they close x and leave y open when y has a much bigger chance of virus spread then x and they wonder why people are going mad 10 months into this.

Can I ask...are you a medical professional?doctor,nurse,

A scientist?do you work in pharma or bio pharma??

no,but plenty who disagree with Tony Holohan do and beyond.

Can you then please name these experts who disagree and outline in which way their scientific recommendations diverge?

All I’m getting back so far is babble and non informative answers with zero actual detail or references.

"at 10 months on there should be a lot more know how and separation of areas, superspreader/high risk v very little risk. to me, everything now is the same as march.

It's all about limiting interactions though. Every interaction, no matter how small gives the virus opportunity to spread. And all the little interactions for each person add up. Multiply that by all the people who make those little interactions and we're in an even worse situation.

All this alongside trying to balance education and the economy and every fucker that thinks the rules don't apply to them/think it's all a load of bollocks and ignore the rules/try to find loopholes to exploit the rules.

How about just gritting your teeth and getting on with it?I'm gritting my teeth since last march. thats like saying "do the pure essentials (go to work) and do fuck all else in life". stepping outside the door increases risk but 10 months on, life has to move. "

And it will. But the longer people do all the things I've already mentioned then the longer it'll take. I've said it to you time out of number. Look for the positives. Focus on the things you can do. Because your constant negativity and myopic view of how a life is best lived is doing you harm. Perhaps try some meditation or yoga and try and find some peace

"Plenty but the frustration of actions of those who are supposed to be experts would drive you mental.

Sure just ignore them then as you would a thread that doesn't interest you very hard when your life is majorily curtailed. does it make sense the ports and airports were left open since last march for everybody? not a chance. what's the biggest superspreader with covid? House parties. never once tried to curtail them, even attempt it. 2 eg. they go along and shut golf courses and tennis courts when your in a wide open space using your own racket and clubs. it seems to me, 10 months on, they're is no separation. everything is just thrown into the one basket. its "go to work if you really have to and do fuck all else". finger pointing the other day at people going a bit beyond to walk a wide open beach to pass away a couple of hours. I'm like, will u just stop, they're doing nothing to anybody. "

So you’re now blaming expert opinion of social distancing to be the cause of people not distancing?

Your message is terribly mixed up. Have you ever stopped and thought that maybe it’s lots and lots of people not adhering to restrictions that’s fucking it up and that it’s not actually lockdown that’s the problem?

Of course we’re going to end up in lockdown after lockdown if more and more people keep gathering. A virus is fucking simple. It wants to get to more and more people. How to stop it? Stop mixing and get a vaccination.

The lockdowns and restrictions are to keep people safe until there’s a vaccine. So while we are back in a place that might look as bad as 9 months ago, we’re simply not. And you talking shite saying we are is just bonkers and wilful ignorance.

How are we better off? There are a few vaccinations now that we had nothing of last March and they’re starting to be rolled out.

How are not better off? Loads of cases. Why? People not adhering to restrictions? Is that the experts fault? Like fuck it is.

Please stop acting outraged and ignorant about how this whole stopping of a virus process works.

Will experts make some calculated mistakes and will some experts differ on opinion? Of course. Why? That’s how science works. And as knowledge accumulates through the sheer vast amount of research, gradually these opinions converge towards a consensus.

So being cranky and pointing out some differences in science (even) doesn’t give you much credence. As for attacking politicians. Have at it if you want. But in that case also, you’d want to make your arguments coherent and logical and not just in the form of complaining or ranting.

We get it (how could we bloody not from your forum obsession with the virus) - you’re pissed off. Lots of people are though. You’re not a Lone Ranger in pain. You’re not the only one going through shite.

Seriously- take a break. For your own mental well being. You’re like a dog trying to catch his own tail. Settle the head and try doing stuff that makes you relax and content.

there is very little i can do that I have interest in. I have stated that with months. all im saying is, there is no improvisation from NPHET for eg, "this is relatively low risk. leave that open in level 5 even to some capacity". instead its the exact same since march 16th

"at 10 months on there should be a lot more know how and separation of areas, superspreader/high risk v very little risk. to me, everything now is the same as march.

It's all about limiting interactions though. Every interaction, no matter how small gives the virus opportunity to spread. And all the little interactions for each person add up. Multiply that by all the people who make those little interactions and we're in an even worse situation.

All this alongside trying to balance education and the economy and every fucker that thinks the rules don't apply to them/think it's all a load of bollocks and ignore the rules/try to find loopholes to exploit the rules.

How about just gritting your teeth and getting on with it?I'm gritting my teeth since last march. thats like saying "do the pure essentials (go to work) and do fuck all else in life". stepping outside the door increases risk but 10 months on, life has to move. "

You see that’s where you’re wrong. Life doesn’t and can’t move on until there’s adequate virus protection. That’s why we’re still here. Ye can’t just magic up a vaccination and ask the tooth fairy to inject it into everyone over night. It all takes time

Have you tried anything new? You might surprise yourself if you open your mind. Perhaps you could volunteer in your community in some way. We've all had to adapt. We've all had things taken from us that we used to enjoy.

Come back in towards the shore before you drown I'm not going into detail searching for experts and what they said over the last 10 months and quote them word for word. we all listened to the news, read the newspaper, watched prime time etc. they were on each one. let me ask, do u agree with everything nphet do. Still putting everything in one basket 10 months on?

Nphet advise, the government "do" as you say, and sometimes don't. NPHETS advice is the exact same since last march. that's my point. the only difference now is there's a vaccine on the way.

Are you employed?i have said yes to that many a time many moons ago.

Must be a handy number?very quiet after Xmas thank god. can get on here like many others. are u employed?

Must be seriously quiet as you've hardly paused for breath in the last 9 hrs. And no I'm not currently employed apart from a few part time hours. That's as a direct result of covid but I'm embracing the change of pace plenty of areas looking for work out there. through in your CV. I wasn't on here today for 2 separate 2 hour intervals. if its bothering you that I'm on here, complain to the mods"

Ye there are lots of places lining up looking for a 55 year old. My point is as others have said you are looking at this arse about face.

The more you go looking for what you perceive to be wrong the more you will find.

How about a novel approach and spend all that nervous energy doing something positive ?

" it seems they can't do zilch only wait on the vaccine and pray to suffering Jesus it works.

I'm praying to suffering Jesus that you could possibly shut up for just one day? ..professor of all things covid and master of none.. as I stated before, you don't have to read anything or comment if you don't want to. complaining about threads has an easy solution. just avoid. we have supposedly experts in charge who haven't a bulls notion what to do 10 months on, only lockdown.

Can you name the scientists who don’t have a bulls notion please? (Not the politicians)

Also, if you provide some names can you critique, in scientifically robust terms, why they don’t have “a bull’s notion”?

This will be interesting.

Over to you, Einstein don't have a bulls notion?lol they're doing the same thing but expecting different results. as I said here the other day, ifs the definition of insanity. plenty of people equally as qualified as Tony holohan have different ideas. they ain't all singing off the one hymn sheet. you then come to lockdowns. they close x and leave y open when y has a much bigger chance of virus spread then x and they wonder why people are going mad 10 months into this.

Can I ask...are you a medical professional?doctor,nurse,

A scientist?do you work in pharma or bio pharma??

no,but plenty who disagree with Tony Holohan do and beyond.

And these plenty?who are theyyou don't listen to the news or radio or watch tv over the last 10 months? fair enough I say to lockdowns but the inadequacy is unreal. closing x with little or no threat and yet y is left open.

Ohhh gemma and the yellow shirts....ahh yes....a fine bunch...I think I'll stick to listening to the doctors,I think itd be safer....

So like the rest of us on here...your just giving your opinion on the situation...as you see it?

Your not a spokesperson for any large group or even small group....Gemma Doherty? lol you think she's qualified? I'm giving my opinion. most on here just sit like busted flushes and question nothing. if Tony told them to rim each others arses and it would rid covid, they'd do it.

You asked did I watch the news...gemma was on it...being oppressed and whinging about covid taking away her freedom....

What's a busted flush??is it serious?do I need a test for it?well like I said...I'd rather listen to tony...than try and talk over him....hes the doctor after allas I keep saying, there is plenty of others, as equally as qualified as Tony Holohan giving their views. Tony holohan and NPHET have made no improvement to march even though they're revaluating every day with 10 months. separating areas from high risk to low risk etc.

No improvement....hmmmmm....let's see...theres a vaccine....schools were open...resturaunts were open...sport was played...I think what your not understanding....is it's the public who dont grasp what going on...

Ohhh yes...roll out the life is for living line....

And the "plenty" that disagree...well they werent appointed to oversee it...so like it or lump it"

He should set up a “Plenty that disagree” cabinet of unknown heroes who’ll sort it all. Job done. Life back to perfect

plenty will hire you. it depends what u can do that interests you, key word been interest. I go for a cycle, I like and try get home workouts in. I'm not a home person at all. I have to be involved. you'd even massively miss the social side of those involvements and outlets

That’s because it’s (I dunno let me think) generally great advice. And they give it to help people stay safer until the vaccination.

And that’s why advice stays fairly consistent. Now in some of your other posts you’ve complained that they’re chopping and changing their advice and now saying it hasn’t changed since March. Which is it?

And finally you make a decent point. The difference is that now there’s a vaccine. So you’re admitting you were wrong in saying that we’re no better off than last March? Good

"at 10 months on there should be a lot more know how and separation of areas, superspreader/high risk v very little risk. to me, everything now is the same as march.

It's all about limiting interactions though. Every interaction, no matter how small gives the virus opportunity to spread. And all the little interactions for each person add up. Multiply that by all the people who make those little interactions and we're in an even worse situation.

All this alongside trying to balance education and the economy and every fucker that thinks the rules don't apply to them/think it's all a load of bollocks and ignore the rules/try to find loopholes to exploit the rules.

How about just gritting your teeth and getting on with it?I'm gritting my teeth since last march. thats like saying "do the pure essentials (go to work) and do fuck all else in life". stepping outside the door increases risk but 10 months on, life has to move.

And it will. But the longer people do all the things I've already mentioned then the longer it'll take. I've said it to you time out of number. Look for the positives. Focus on the things you can do. Because your constant negativity and myopic view of how a life is best lived is doing you harm. Perhaps try some meditation or yoga and try and find some peacethere is very little i can do that I have interest in. I have stated that with months. all im saying is, there is no improvisation from NPHET for eg, "this is relatively low risk. leave that open in level 5 even to some capacity". instead its the exact same since march 16th

And I'm saying the cumulative effects of those small interactions add up.

Have you tried anything new? You might surprise yourself if you open your mind. Perhaps you could volunteer in your community in some way. We've all had to adapt. We've all had things taken from us that we used to enjoy.

"

so do things that involve you doing stuff on your own? Jesus, that's a bundle of fun. the whole fun element is gone out of life. you're supposed to watch your every step now if you're doing something properly.

I’ve said enough here. It’s like going around a hamster wheel with you.

Honestly, you seem decent and just frustrated. Try like others have suggested and do positive things as much as you can.

Someone suggested some things and you found the negative in it by saying it’s no fun on your own.

Surely it’s still better than doing nothing at all?

Something a wee bit enjoyable vs doing nothing and staying in a rut?

I know what I’d do. Can’t do any harm anyway

We're similar in that respect OP. I can't partake in my main hobby and miss not just it but the people and the interaction and the craic when we're together. But trying to do our best under the circumstances and just about to go on a zoom call with them now for a bit of craic and a post-Christmas catch up. Do try and stay well and stay positive (although not covid positive )

Not a bother. No need to apologise at all. A forum is for anyone to talk on as you say. From my own point of view, just try to do positive things for yourself. It’s a shit time of year so it won’t do any good to dwell on the negative, especially when we’re powerless to change anything.

It’s not gonna be shite forever. I was gonna drop you a message but you’ve blocked men so drop me a message if ye ever need a chat
