What's the procedure for non respiratory illness & GP practices these days are they seeing patients?

Ring and make appointment, they still have to see other patients but not routine prescriptions renewals

Re yesterday's sad death, Tony Holohan refused to confirm that it was an elderly person when asked directly by one of the journalists. He said the previous two had been elderly when he notified us of them. Ergo, it was a young person (which tallies with the 'no underlying health issues', which he did tell us).

Oh right the magic country with no scumbags or crime. That must be nice.

There's definitely crime but not the feral scumbags we have here. Ever been to Japan or Taiwan?

If it was a younger person, they would be straight out to tell us and frighten the **** out of the country.

Would prefer to hear him offering the Clarendon Hotel for use of hospital staff who don’t want to go home after a shift. Lots of healthcare staff are petrified of catching the virus and bringing it home with them. Hospital scrubs need to be washed most hospitals don’t have showering facilities .

Let's pick 40-49. 5% of symptomatic cases requiring care. But - only 6% of them require critical care AND there's vast numbers of asymptomatic cases.

The '5% of the population end up in hospital' statistic is just not true. For most of the population this is simply not a deadly disease.

Any more info on asymptotic cases? I read about the group of 7 skiers from arklow, all recovered and never showed symptoms throughout. My minds been going down the doom route very fast this week and this stuff helps. A lot.

I was in Aldi in Ennistymon this evening and a young lady from a well known ethnic group was walking around coughing and no regard for anyone.
The nice lady at the till told me that's the 4th time she came in and did that today.

It looked like she was testing people's tolerance, then off out to the hi ace or whatever they call them ffs

Im not racist by the way, seriously

I can see myself turning into Woody from Zombieland when out

So with 683 cases we're about 2 days from joining the 1000 club.
We're likely in the 2000 club in less than 7 days from now.

We've the 25th largest known outbreak, if you only count the republic.

It's not going great.

No they wouldn't. Did you watch the briefing? He said giving the age info may identify the person.

GiftofGab · 20-03-2020 08:29PM

Do you think it's ok to visit a friend tonight? I told her it's not safe but she wants to see me and wants to chance it. Have been staying in on my own all week. Have a family member showing symptoms which I told her about.

retro:electro · 20-03-2020 08:29PM

How many have died? I thought we were still on 3 no? And that the third was the mother of that one who was live tweeting the death, 88 and had COPD

The UK paying 80% of monthly wages up to £2.5k for those workers impacted is unreal. Makes our €203 a week (€880 a month) seem miniscule in comparison.

It is.
Best of luck to any of us trying to live on that with kids and Irish prices

Why risk it? Do a video call or something.

I was out walking on my own this afternoon when I saw three guys of about 14 coming towards me, from the way they were walking that they were up to no good so I was prepared when one pushed another towards me and was rewarded a swift jab of my elbow into his solar plexus. That cooled him down. To all you parents with feral kids out there (and there are many) keep your little darlings on a very short lead if you've not trained them.properly.

NSAman · 20-03-2020 08:31PM

Illinois just enacted a stay at home order also.

Office closing this evening for the last of the remaining staff completely. We are paying all our staff during layoffs completely.

Just read that Coveney wants all us irish to come home... easier said than done.

Just worried in case anything happens to family in Ireland, I will have no way of coming home at all (based on the possibility of airlines ceasing flights)

Worrying times.

Staff are self isolating in various countries, some do not want to come back to the States due to possibility of infection while travelling so are staying away.

Its all worrying for me. At least at the moment everyone is safe, no one is showing signs of infection. Stay safe all....

I met my friend earlier in the car park and we parked beside each other for an hour and had the chats. I felt like a right boy racer. When it comes to meeting people face to face I’m keeping it strictly to family

Yes I have been to Japan. There are no scumbags there? Not a one. No crime either. A magical land.

This sounds like a direct quote from 'the office'

How old are you? Curtailing their children? Everyone knows it’s important to take precautions when out but teens are always gona be difficult to manage especially now.

Not difficult to manage if your the boss as the parent you shoukd be.
I've a 16 yo, only time he's been out is to exercise in our local field, which is quiet, in a city suburb.
I don't bring any of the 4 kids anywhere where there is crowds. The coco Park in our cúl del sac they havnt been allowed in. My kids are ages 1-16.
Parents need to take responsibility, they can be managed if you do it

Is a Curfew for Minors on the cards so?

I literally said yes there is crime. There are not roaming gangs of scumbags like we have here. Are you able to understand that?

I wish they would provide more information on the fatalities, I know families probably don't want to release but I think it might help knowing age and underlying illnesses

Poor kid got pushed then you hit him..In fairness I am in the same mood with all this going on. I'm only 29 but I am in no mood for little runts acting the maggot at all over the next while
