Absolutely shameful week for the Republic of Ireland.
between the mother and baby homes, sky rocketing figures, none existent vaccines and constant government blame dodging and excuses it’s a dark time for sure.

at least Mehole Martin clarified the Paddy’s day parade plans for 2021.
”agh, not a chance”

She's not even a girl, she's 28 and she should fucking know better, absolute knob head.

Our manager has sent out countless texts about how we need to follow guidance outside of work and we all are, apart that from her. We've even had to close work for 10 days as not enough staff to open

Had my father in law's funeral today so I'm just catching up on the thread and today's goings on.

A 15 people max limit, breaking the law for sitting in my mother in laws house for an hour afterwards (all socially distanced) and wearing a face mask is a funeral experience i NEVER want to suffer through again ever.
Horrible times. Horrible day.

All virtual hugs accepted

I said to my husband only today that losing someone and having to bury them in these circumstances just doesn’t bare thinking about. I’m sorry for your loss and the strangeness of today on top of how hard a funeral is even in the best of circumstances. I hope that you can lean on each other to grieve and that in time, when things are back to normal, you will all be able to properly be together to celebrate his memory the way it should be. Be gentle with yourself

It's not something I do but I'd never criticise those that do. You do whatever you need to. If it makes you feel safer then go for it. I get told I use too much hand sanitiser and that I wash my hands excessively but it makes me feel better so I don't intend on stopping x

I'm with your husband all the way - I'd roll up my sleeve and have the vaccine right now if I could.

My daughter had to watch a video in science today about childbirth. All I could hear was her saying oh my God that's manky .

Off topic but when I was at school we had to watch a video of a woman giving birth in science.

It was a VHS and when the teacher put it in he then had to rewind it, so before we watched we all saw it in reverse with the baby getting sucked back in

I’m scarred forever

I'm keeping things in perspective. I've always washed my hands after coming in from being out of the house. I drew the line at wiping down groceries and taking food out of original packaging and putting it in something else. That's too far IMO and will only lead to paranoia. However, the continuing spread of Covid makes me wonder what people were doing (or were not doing) pre-Covid. I know there are studies out there saying we antibac too much and antibac resistance but basic handwashing can do a lot in prevention.

I saw someone in the store today with a mask underneath their chin. They obviously had it up to enter the store but then pulled it down to shop. We're never going to get a handle on this is in America. I hate to sound so pessimistic but I've lost count at the number of chin maskers and improper masks that don't cover the nose.

Big hug. We had a funeral today too but it was taking place abroad so could only attend virtually. A similarly horrible experience that I don't want to repeat either. I feel like the grief felt will last for a long time until we can be with family properly and offer condolences in hugs rather than at a distance.

We quarantine post and disinfect our groceries (if they don't have an outer packaging). Have done since last spring and it is routine now.

I’m so sorry you had to experience this on top of your grief at losing your father in law. I am glad you were able to attend tho after your worry with the kids being home x
