    Yeah. But it's almost certain to be wrong.

    If it's a comfort to you fair enough. Enjoy it.

    Almost certain? Great

    Tootsie, I have a spare one if you want it. It’s about 500ml. I don’t go out that much at all so happy to post it to you for you mum if you want it.

    See posts like this remind me that at the heart of this we’re Irish (including our new Irish families who’ve joined from far and wide) and we can and will pull together of needs be.

    That’s another hobby horse with me: going to emergency departments for stuff that can be managed by GP or at home. My late mother had same idea. Once, when she was 87 she fell against something in bedroom and “de-gloved” a whole strip of skin from her arm, with it bleeding liberally all over carpet. She was otherwise I injured, but asked me to use my well-stocked first aid drawer to treat it as she had no intention toon if going near a hospital. With my disposable gloves, wound cleansing disinfectant spray and elephant-sized algjnate dressing, I secured the skin (over half length of forearm) back in place. A week later it was 100% healed. We both knew that with the generous (but not dangerous) bleeding, the blood supply was good, and infection unlikely. With a really good first aid kit at home & a bit of health/body awareness, a lot of injuries can be treated at home.

    Also, there are the public minor injury clinics such as the one in Smithfield for Dublin city centre. They are can treat minor injuries without going into the maelstrom of a full A&E department, as long as you can attend during regular working hours.
    A lot of people don't seem to be aware of them, not that they will be helpful for coronavirus but for people who suffer such minor injuries during an outbreak it is an important option.

    Lads give over. Folks are taking an interest. Nobody scaremongering. It’s information. People are tracking it it’s an unprecedented event. It’s news.

    I had Chinese in solidarity with the people of China last night.

    Tonight it's a large 16 inch Domino's pizza (loaded meat) in solidarity with the people of Italy.

    We can all sacrifice something :)

    So did I, but I cooked it myself. ;)

    Same for Pizza, but I have leftover Chinese.

    The last update we got said they'd conducted 100 tests over the last month.
    All we can say for certain with numbers like that, is that there's about 100 people in Ireland that didn't have the virus when tested. Some of them may have it now of course.

    If you take any comfort from that level of testing, you're mad

    Much better thanks! But my housemate got me serious painkillers and I been chewing them :) and drinking loads of water. So..
    Bit goofy to be honest with you but not running the toilet anymore and nothing like as bad as last night so good for now.

    Gave up calling them as a lost cause. Once again told me they were inundated and would call back.

    I won’t hold my breath. (No pun intended)

    Yes would appear so, although I'm hopefully that CFR will reverse downwards as more cases emerge. Daily fatalities outside China are on the rise for sure

    Yes, although on the other hand, it could rise as health systems are swamped.

    I feel that this could be a cataclysm; we may lose a lot of our elderly population.

    Cases are not deaths, some here seem to not quite get that.

    It's a flu. Lots of people will get it, some will die. No different to many times before. Some years the flu kills more than others.
