Monaghan, the last county standing

Kermit.de.frog

Monaghan is the only county without a recorded COVID-19 infection in Ireland. Even Leitrim (Leitrim!) has cases.

And I want to know why?

What is it that they are doing that the rest of us can learn from?

Also

secman

From what I understand they have several suspected cases awaiting tests, ... are you asking me or telling me ?

Good at washing diesel and their hands it seems....

We’re just seriously hardy people, tough as nails!
As my wife rightly suggested though, there’s probably loads of people with it, but saying “this is a raw ol dose, be jaysus” and not doing much about it. We’d be a stubborn bunch like that.

Isn't monaghan a deserted wasteland??

Someone's response was "inbreeding seems to be the cure"

Maybe our thick skin helps in preventing virus or other cr@p getting to us.

Where do you get your info OP?

Mr and Mr's Coronavirus and their 50 billion kids cross the border into Monaghan (driving a very large estate car)...........

Mr Corona: Have we done here already?

Mrs Corona: Not sure. Have we?

Mr Corona: The people seem very ruddy faced.

Mrs Corona: Yes, a bit flushed. Let me check my notes.

Mr Corona: They seem to be unable to breathe through their noses.

Mrs Corona: What's this place called again? It's not on the map.

Kids: We're BORED!

Mr Corona: Christ this place is a tip. Let's turn around.

Justacoughitis and Nevergotoadoctoria are probably rampant.

We're lousy hosts.

ThePiedPiper

We’ve perfected the blanket defense in recent years.

GreeBo

Its because people only leave Monagahan, no one goes back in.

Witchie

Or stupid Dubs forgot that we are part of the Republic of Ireland again so aren't counting us in the cases.

Ye can be refining it further in Div 2 next year.

sure does anyone live in monaghan?

Is this a good time to push for peace in the region between Cavan and Monaghan?

Should we appoint a mediator for the warring tribes?

Calypso Realm

I would doubt very much it's truly the case.

Just because there are no reported/confirmed cases doesn't mean they don't exist. As time goes on I'm sure the picture will change.

Still virus free AFAIK

The virus is a zoonotic disease. It jumped from some other species to humans.

That does not necessarily mean that it can jump to all species. For example, from humans to Monaghan "people".

The weather radar I'd say.

It's because we're next door to Cavan and there's no chance of them ever giving anything to us for free.

Silver is antibacterial. So at a guess, it's all that gold in the soil up there.

In fairness, the virus likely did a U-turn when it realised it wasn't infecting real people but instead it was in clones.....

I'll get my coat.

randy hickey

Is the COO of the HSE, who is on de telly every 5mins talking about Covid 19, not from Monaghan?

The other lad who is also getting a lot of air time currently, Professor Sam McConkey, is from Clones afair.

Surely we will have less cases than Dublin.

Witchie

At least we are developing ways to help those who succumb while we suffer...
