Anxiety etc won't help how you are feeling. You need to ask yourself, if Covid19 didn't exist, how would you be feeling about how you feel right now?

Good afternoon! I am getting tested this afternoon. Feel like absolute crap.

Best of luck with it. I am expecting one in the next few days as well. Do you know if the test happens in your own home or in the tester`s vehicle?

You're not being a rat but doing a public service.

Why is doing the right thing wrong if it benefits public health.

It may not be illegal yet but it's morally the right thing to do.

So what is the best case scenario in all this 12 months from now. If it turns out to have a mortality rate of 1% presumably that would be good.
What about an eventual infection rate of 20% I presume that to would be good . Don't know.
Population of Ireland say 5000,000. So 1000,000 get the infection 10,000 deaths.
Would anyone with expertise take those figures as good case scenario or still worst case scenario.
According to cso about 30,000 people die in Ireland every year an extra 10,000 would be significant.
Without been fatalistic is there any reasonable way to avoid this.

I make my own:

2 parts 70% Isopropyl Alcohol
1 part Aloe Vera Gel (Mine also has tea tree oil, leftover from use as after-sun in summer)
Few drops essential oil for fragrance.

I use a recycled/sterilised hand wash bottle with pump. Voila!

Try finding 70% Isopropyl alcohol now. I ordered mine 3 weeks ago and it was dispatched. And then never arrived. All I heard yesterday was we have refunded your 10 euros. I guess they managed to sell it to someone else for much more. And now it is quite difficult to get. I ordered more but I am not holding my breath.

A different point - enervation. Living in a state of Qui Vive. Not good. Do not let yourself go up and down and become enervated, stoicism is your friend now. It may be a long haul. In fact it will be a long haul, looks like. Whether one gets sick or not. It is worrying for everyone. Be the guy in the poncho, not the green guy. It is best in the long run.

Hi all,

I'm genuinely concerned that the people I'm working with are not taking this seriously. The two people I live with (mam and uncle) are both in the high risk categories so I've finally got them to hunker down and stay home. I've nominated myself to collect their payments from the PO and pick up their prescriptions, shopping and such. I'm still working and as of now with full wages but that could all change in a second depending on what happens in the next few days. I currently have a load taken out with the bank and I'm terrified of going into arrears if I'm put onto a jobseekers payment. I went to the bank today to try and get some answers but what the girl at the desk told me and what the man in the call center told me are two different things. I came back to the office, genuinely worried and fretting about it and my co-workers basically all took the p at me panicking. They don't seem to get why I'm so stressed out by all of this. Feckers are calling me a doom merchant

It's not. Trust me! Nobody can get tested over there. My sister lives in Herts

Looks positive, but it's down to a change in testing policy....testing less!

Anyone that's been interviewed has said this, basically similar symptoms to the flu but very intense and the pain is unreal.

People will not accept economic devastation without an end in sight when there is an alternative.

I'm absolutely willing to do my part. I'm nearly 40, I'm not at high risk, but not zero risk either.

Relax the lockdown for those of us who are low risk. Let us be the barrier to infection in the elderly.

Eventually they will have to.

not now, but eventually.

For now hopefully we can avoid figures such as those in Italy.

Goodness. If I see a pub open today they will be named and shamed for sure.

Are they only testing people now with severe symptoms?

They are not testing widely. Only in hospitals. It's a sham number.
