I would actually love to know how Ciara Kelly contracted it, this is vital information in the scheme of things. Not precisely her case, but if people were actually aware of the moment they got it after the fact it would be a huge help to others. Would be quite scary if she has no idea though

She said she hasn't a clue. This is pretty much everywhere now.

Who notifies you of the test results? Presumably your GP ?

I don't want to be cynical but that screams attention seeking to me

I'd be guessing through interviewing some of the medics treating it. Although probably most of these are done over the phone...

Has she been spreading it over the airwaves the last two weeks??

I'm classified as a potential case by my doctor.

Some symptoms for two weeks but today quite breathless and sore chest. Could be unrelated chest infection or could be Covid.

Good news is that if it is Covid I am probably not shedding the virus as it has been two weeks. Been told to self isolate for another week as a precaution.

What were your symptoms for the last 2 weeks?

How is it scary if she has no idea.

I think the majority of cases will not know how they contracted it before the new measures came in.

That's why social distancing is so important.

Ediit: She just said that she does not know how she got it which is completely normal. Before last week everybody was in contact with hundreds of people.

Good to see the curve of posting on this thread is starting to flatten.

It would be helpful is she could identify the possible anonymous source of it.

I think contact tracing is almost pointless at this stage though. Nearly impossible to contact everyone you've been in contact with. And then you have contacts of contacts.

The best thing is if everyone restricts movement as much as possible and almost take the view they are already infected.

Most of us are going to get it eventually, but the best we can hope for is to slow down the spread.

How is that seeking attention?

Whats the procedure for the following?

Person A is currently waiting to be tested for Covid-19.

Person B was with him on thursday evening. Person B is showing zero symptoms?

What does Person B do?

Maybe I'm being unkind, but she's been spreading something over the airwaves for a lot longer.:D

Wishing her a speedy return to health. On the flip side she is now a prime candidate to go back working in hospitals or as a GP as hopefully in a few weeks she will have antibodies.

Is arranging a test possible, as they are without symptoms?

Wishing her a full recovery. The more “high profile” who come out and say they have this illness, the more relief I seem to feel. It’s good to put faces to some of the patients and be informed on how they’re managing.

Yes broadcasters and other public figures such as politicians come into contact with countless people. Its surprising that more public figures haven't got it.

The fact they arent is the problem. Just lock them in a room and let them "fight the flu" maybe stick on some old horse racing on a TV. They'll be in heaven.

It's a good thing as it lessens any stigma attached too it.

Please explain to me how it would be helpful? She's got it and she's self isolating and I'm sure she's informed everyone she knows that she's been in contact with.

She also sounds fine by the way which should reassure people.

A lot of taxi drivers are out of work/pay as there are no customers

The Gov should engage with the Taxi Union and pay the drivers to do Home deliveries of essentials

It would not be top priority for a test especially since tests are in short supply. Guidance is self isolation. And if no isolation, chance of being in contact with someone else who is positive is high anyway. Follow guidelines is recommended.

Test doesn't work on most asymptomatic persons as the viral load is too little for the test to detect.

All the money they saved from not paying tax might keep them going for a while at least

Had to deactivate my FB this morning after seeing a whingy post from a woman who thinks the government should be giving a "corona bonus" to those on social welfare so they can keep their kids entertained at home in these troubling times. She says its not fair to keep the kids cooped up with nothing to do and the money would help with toys and games for them.

Mass lay offs, businesses going under, the country on its knees and the looming threat of a killer virus and this wagon is moaning about needing a corona bonus. I despair.

Jesus that is infuriating. Especially when you've got plenty of parents balancing working from home and trying to keep young children active whilst paying for childcare that they are no longer recieving.
