If it's your one from twitter, didn't she say her mother was in her late 80s?

A friend of mine follows that lady on Twitter and if it is the same woman who died (her mother) then she was 88 and had COPD.

Took the dog for a stroll after work and came upon a couple who had randomly decided to park their car in the mountain and were having a game of Frisbee with each other. If one of them has it, then they were literally throwing their germs around the place. :pac: I tried to keep to one side of the road with the dog on a very short lead until I passed them. On the way back, they were still at it and made no attempt to stop their germ throwing so I stopped walking and they eventually moved to one side so we could pass. Commenced the virus throwing again as I was passing and I had to say "distance please!" so yer man could feck off out of my 2m space. Numpties :mad:
Sorry I mean isn't it so nice to see people out and about enjoying the scenery

I have heard that some couples are still sleeping in the same bed.

No closed for the past week

Not officially but I've heard of plenty of unconfirmed reports of bars opening their back doors.

Germany : 44 deaths
UK : 137 ?
South Korea : 8565 cases , 91 deaths
Reference for this is worldometer

I was going to say, those kinds of shops shut probably have closed their doors by this stage

Agreed

Just being honest. Actually a little less than honest as I was in the pub Saturday after the party also. All of you clueless basement dwellers and herd animals can shrivel away in your homes.

If trolling it's a poor attempt. If real, then I think you need to catch yourself on.

This is definitely happening .. a lot of local pubs have the side gate off the latch...

We need to seal the U.K. / Republic of Ireland border.

I have 4 of these.

Will we have enough?

Really? I was told today loads in work are wearing gloves. I was going to wear surgical ones and change them throughout the day. Would you not recommend that?

I'll wear for certain things not others,using a petrol pump prime example .....other things like handling money or inside shops is just getting a little too anal about everything ....I do have a hand sanitizer and will use soap and water when possible


By the time this is all done and dusted I reckon we'll all be verging on the side of OCD .......it might be worth taking note of, I've honestly in all my life rarely given regard of what I'm handling or put my hands on (well mostly)

Edit: double post

31% of cases here have been hospitalized..is that correct? That seems very worrying.

Okay... but you go first!

I would have no problem doing that. We have all had the flu or a bad cold before and got through it without panicking about losing our jobs or homes.

The country is going to be an economic disaster in 3 months time.
Other countries can afford to start massive bailout, Ireland is still paying for the last bailout and will be doing so for decades.

Surely, as drastic as my suggestion sounds, the quicker we an build up a national immunity the better, and sooner people can get back to work.

In a few months time all those small business that laid off people will not exist to employ them again once this epidemic is over. It will be the 1980's all over again, only worse because people will not be able to emigrate for work, because those foreign jobs will not exist.
