    Why?

    Seriously this isn't personal.

    Its medical advice.

    A reminder to everyone

    It is against site rules to seek or offer any medical advice. Please do not post here about your symptoms asking what to do. Contact your doctor by telephone and they can advise you as appropriate.

    Claire finishing with the “please follow protocols and advise”. All well and good but it sounds like she has followed some dodgy advice from her GP, self isolation and ordering a test because she has shown symptoms of a cold.

    Is Claire getting tested asap or will she have to wait longer as she had mild symptoms (more cold symptoms)

    People with symptoms that may indicate they have the virus are the ones that should be tested as per instructions from the HSE and government.

    Testing is a waste of resources. If you have symptoms, assume you have it and do the necessary. Testing is a load of bollix.

    Did anyone see Dr. Hilary Jones on TV earlier stating that Ireland will be in bother as we do not have a health service. What an ignoramus.

    Trump calls coronvirus the 'Chinese Virus' as he vows to protect American businesses including airlines from the economic fallout from the crisis

    The blame has shifted for the US administration, this could lead to worse, he may start saying it was a biological weapon against in trade war

    Well funny you should say that.

    I did read a conspiracy theory earlier which suggested as much.

    The West is in free fall, China is doing pretty well...or so the theory goes...

    I am not quite sure if you understand a virus has a shelf life.

    Yes, same as other corona viruses or flues, once it peaks, it does not have the rate that it may have had.

    This is not perpetual and we will see many more of these, but different strains in our lifetime imho.

    Did you get your H1n1 vaccine recently?

    I am not quite sure you understand what I’m saying.
    China gears back up and the lockdown is lifted, workers get infected again. We are back to square one.
    You say once it peaks it does not have the same rate, that depends on two things,
    1 people can’t be reinfected due to developing immunity. We don’t know the answer to this, there are reports from China and Japan of re infections.
    2 China locked Wuhan the epicentre down. This curtailed the spread massively, hence if it kicked off again with new infections, would they catch it in time? Possibly?

    Who’s to say this is not perpetual? Until a vaccine is created there is no natural immunity.

    Last question: what are you on about?

    I know there is loads of stuff on WhatsApp and ‘heard from a reliable source’ and the neighbours cats first cousins owner works in the guards and all this guff.

    However, do the educated people on here think it’s a matter of ‘when’ and not ‘if’ that we go in to a way more strict lockdown scenario?

    He wasn't offering medical advice that somebody asked for, he was drawing their attention to specific medical advice about Crohn's disease as given by all governments to indicate that what he said about Simon Harris being at greater risk was true.

    It plainly says that immunosuppressed people are at risk for increased complications with covid19.

    The main treatment for chrohns are immuno suppressants, and they in turn are one of the at-risk categories for COVID-19.

    https://www.crohnsandcolitis.org.uk/news/coronavirus-covid-19-advice
    This information is correct, and just because you or a loved one has the disease, it doesn't give you some sort of licence to dismiss the reality of the danger faced by immunosuppressed people.

    Why aren't these being administered. They have said they have other treatments too but are they actually treating people with them? That's what I find odd. Why aren't they using them?

    If she was it would be plastered all over the rte and indo websites.

    All these radio/tv ones are broadcasting from home. Djs on today FM are doing it too
