China Coronavirus

My view is that it's the schools which are the major factor in spreading COVID, not the hospitality trade.  It's no coincidence schools returned a month ago and here we are now.  What were they expecting, numbers to fall after the schools went back.

I think universities right up there but no excuse for them opening the way they did in halls etc.

The experts has been flip flopping since day 1 about whether children are spreaders or not.

Are nurseries closing??

County classified as elite yeah.

Kick in the teeth for bars and restaurants doing it right.

If they are compensated properly it shouldn't matter

[imtommygunn]

They clearly won't be.

Are they going to compensate everyone "properly" all the way up the supply chain?

[RedHand88]

Only elite sport allowed.

Does that mean Derrys year is over?

What about weddings? We've a wedding at the end of November in Fermanagh. Covid pending of course.

It could be a Zoom wedding.

In a spar yesterday and saw about 10 schoolchildren running around the shop as a pack, not a mask in sight. Lifting stuff, touching everything.
Man behind the counter not wearing a mask either.
Policeman happened to be in the shop at the time, he never even turned an eye to it.

Have you any data to back that up? I don't think that is the case at all.

It will be on 1st November.

What about people having to work in people's homes? Decorators, tilers, washing machine repair men, mobile hairdressers/podiatrists etc?

[imtommygunn]

Mobile hairdressers are banned apparently. Not sure on tradesmen but think they're probably ok.
