CoVid-19 Part IX - 785 cases ROI (3 deaths) 108 in NI (1 death) (20 March) *Read OP*

UK Virus ALERT
The English are feeling the pinch in relation to recent virus threat and have therefore raised their threat level from “Miffed” to “Peeved.” Soon, though, level may be raised yet again to “Irritated” or even “A Bit Cross.”
The English have not been “A Bit Cross” since the blitz in 1940 when tea supplies nearly ran out.

The virus has been re-categorized from “Tiresome” to “A Bloody Nuisance.” The last time the British issued a “Bloody Nuisance” warning level was in 1588, when threatened by the Spanish Armada.

The Scots have raised their threat level from “Pissed Off” to “Let's Get the Bastard.” They don't have any other levels. This is the reason they have been used on the front line of the British army for the last 300 years.

The French government announced yesterday that it has raised its alert level from “Run” to “Hide.” The only two higher levels in France are “Collaborate” and “Surrender.” The rise was precipitated by a recent fire that destroyed France's white flag factory, effectively paralyzing the country's military capability.

Italy has increased the alert level from “Shout Loudly and Excitedly” to “Elaborate Military Posturing.” Two more levels remain: “Ineffective Combat Operations” and “Change Sides.”

The Germans have increased their alert state from “Disdainful Arrogance” to “Dress in Uniform and Sing Marching Songs.” They also have two higher levels: “Invade a Neighbour” and “Lose.”

Belgians, on the other hand, are all on holiday as usual; the only threat they are worried about is NATO pulling out of Brussels.

The Spanish are all excited to see their new submarines ready to deploy. These beautifully designed subs have glass bottoms so the new Spanish navy can get a really good look at the old Spanish navy.

Australia, meanwhile, has raised its alert level from “No worries” to “She'll be alright, Mate.” Two more escalation levels remain: “Crikey! I think we'll need to cancel the barbie this weekend!” and “The barbie is cancelled.” So far, no situation has ever warranted use of the final escalation level.

The Russians have said “Its not us”

I didn't take the photo and it's all over national media in Germany.

And it should be seen and it should be posted because clearly the photographer had permission to use it.

What a weak generation. Triggered so easily.

France suspended the payment of rent and utility bills and our rent is capped which means we have to continue paying rent?

What the actual fcuk? It's inevitable that we'll be going into lockdown, this is the last thing people need.

I sent a whatsapp to my multi property owner landlord yesterday...this month at least I will pay you in full
As per his answer he was more worried about this than the virus...

Our stats seem pretty good. Did we get a less severe strain of the virus or what?

No, italy has one of, if not the, oldest population in Europe who go around kissing each other on the cheek.

That, and we’re only getting started here.

Hopefully we can learn what works from others and try to keep our numbers low.

Symptoms since Thurs evening/ Friday. Self isolating since Friday evening.

Was refered as a " fast track " patient for the swab test as I have an underlying illness, I was in London the week before, my mam had a transplant and cause I work in HC.

I was refered THREE times by my occ health nurse so I can be cleared and go back to work in the hospital i work in. My nurse contacted them herself today on behalf of the hospital and my consultant who refered me and no hope.

Rang the national ambulance service 4 times today and no help at all. I know they're doing the best they can but I'm just stressed now about my mum and not being in work where I'm needed ! So so anxious unfortunately and the self isolation jaysus my anxiety is out the roof. Midnight walks helping but I'm not sleeping now so back to my old anxiety pattern up til 6/630am. Plan on setting alarm for 10 am so I'll be wrecked for next sleep ugh

Sorry I know people have it a LOTTT worse but it's ****e being a sitting duck knowing what all my co workers are going through and I'm sitting in my room on netflix

That may lower your body's capacity to withstand infection.

^^^I hope lots of people have finally adopted the eminently sensible practice of leaving your outer world shoes at the door.

Not really feasible normally when front door opens directly to busy street but not caring about robbed shoes at the moment. Obviously people are scared of touching others clothes so not a big risk

People all around the world manage to not wear shoes inside without leaving them outside their door?
