Snowblind 1,711 Posted September 22, 2020 Share Posted September 22, 2020 As someone who got a job as a Deputy Manager in a pub to help get him through the pandemic whilst his main sector - the Entertainment industry - was being outright buggered from lack of adequate support, can I just say? ... *** the government.

DanFromDownSouth 1,706 Posted September 22, 2020 Share Posted September 22, 2020 The measures are necessary, but I can't help but wonder if we acted quicker, stricter and a bit longer, in terms of the original lockdown being imposed, how much better off we'd be now.

Thanks Dan. Pubs that don’t serve food only opened yesterday for the first time since March here in Ireland. Don’t think that this virus is going to go away anytime soon unfortunately Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah I think you're right in terms of it not going away soon. I think eventually it'll just become part of flu-season. The seasonal flu jab will include the Covid-19 vaccine (when it's available).

I should have said earlier that it’s proving harsh on @Snowblind and other people in his industry. Keep the chin up mate and keep plugging away. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

At least he can always fall back on his previous career with the FBI. Link to post Share on other sites
Snowblind 1,711 Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 (edited) If the measures were actually about stopping the spread of the virus as opposed to scapegoating people for the government's failure in their own measures, the pubs would be shut. And I'd support that. Currently the sector workers feel like we're being treated as canon fodder to the virus. The reality is many of us are now doing 300% the work load for, in my case, 80% of the pay, and we're under pressure by law to enforce the 200% extra work at the same low rate of pay on cut hours. It's beyond a joke. Edited September 23, 2020 by Snowblind Link to post Share on other sites
