I went shopping yesterday, for myself, my elderly parents, and my brother.
#1
First to the post office, X’s were taped on the floor to assist people in keeping
their distance, but right alongside the row of X’s was an idiot stacking shelves,
no mask, no gloves, talking rubbish to everyone who was on their X and them all
trying to ignore him, totally undoing any benefit of keeping our distance, as he was
walking about breathing on everyone and taking in what other people had just
breathed out.
#2
I went to a post office in another town, where a man decided to take up residence
in the middle of the doorway, no mask and no gloves, he was the shop owners son
and breathed in what everyone else just breathed out, and everyone had to breath in
what he breathed out as there was simply no room to get past without doing so,
#3
Same post office, a man and woman aged in their late teens early twenties came in,
they paid no attention to social distancing policies, the woman coughed on top of
everyone around her, the man said, we can go for another walk when we get out
of here, and I will do the coughing this time, then thy both broke out laughing.
#4
Got to the till where two women were standing chatting as the long line
of customers progressed, no masks or gloves on either of them, they seemed
completely oblivious to the discomfort they were causing the people in the queue
who had no room to increase their distance from them.
#5
I went to a major food store, shoppers were keeping their distance and no babies unlike
the day before, yet only me and One other person wore a mask, or gloves,
everyone queued up on their X, all good you would think,
Not to be, got to the till, every till operator was sitting there with no screen between them and
the customers, and not a mask in site.
They breathed in what every customer in the line to their till breathed out, and breathed it
back out on every customer that they dealt with, completely unacceptable.

I Went to the filling station, walked in to pay, and a delivery man coughed right in my
face as I entered the shop, he had no mask and no gloves, and he was delivering bread
to other shops in the locality, I saw his van at them later on.
#7
Same filling station, three of the staff were standing in the middle of the floor looking
at a picture of a baby on a phone, no gloves, no masks and them head head.
#8
Same filling station, two 30 ish yr old men were pumping a wheel at the facilities compressor,
and a third one walked over to laugh about the corona virus with them, no mask
and no gloves on any of them.
#9
I went to another filling station, couldn't get in the door because a group of 30 or so yr old men
we’re in a huddle laughing about the lockdown, no masks, no gloves on any of them.
#10
Coming back home through the town, I saw a car park full of young people
in cars and tractors, having a get together, 100 yards from the Garda station.
It really is unbelievable what is happening given the seriousness of Covid19,
while a lot of people are doing everything possible to avoid getting or spreading it,
a huge number are laughing about it and putting vast numbers at risk as willing carriers
of the virus, they have the same information as everyone else and they choose to
deliberately ignore it.
We will need nothing short of a miracle to survive Covid19 with idiots like this
in our communities, they are an absolute disgrace.
I saw a lot more too, but am simply too angry to continue.
