Maybe it's not as new as we think, it could be centuries old. Maybe it crossed over before in the middle ages. Supposedly approx 10% of us are immune from HIV, another "new" virus!

I heard a theory around the time that we had swine flu that if you are exposed to just a small amount of any virus, it gives the immune system just enough time to develop antibodies before the virus can get established or do too much damage.
Apparently this is common with chicken pox where many people have the antibodies but are not aware that they have ever had the disease.
Unfortunately it’s difficult to know just how much exposure you need. It just happens by a fortunate accident.

Hoping all is well.

Thanks, all good. Self isolating as a family. My symptoms are very mild, the consistent one is a ticklish feeling in my chest. I have sporadic coughing but it's okay. One thing I did have a few days ago that I haven't heard others having is a sore eye - it was like it was infected from a contacted lens but hadn't wore any in weeks. No one else in the house showing symptoms (wife and 4 kids).

Yes, and their parents are worse.

Myself and my wife were out for a walk this evening and the amount of young people not heeding the advice was quite astounding - young people seemingly couldn't give a fuck if their behavior perpetuates this crisis.

When you contrast this behavior with the climate strikes - it really does make the latter rather hollow, just a day out.

Young people seemingly are not that socially minded and are just as selfish as the rest of us. So selfish in fact that they put their social life ahead of their elderly granny.

These are the same young gob****es who seem to believe they are somehow invincible and wont be infected - cos Its just some old folks ...

That despite -

The Health Protection Surveillance Centre has said that as of midnight on Tuesday 17 March there were 350 reported cases.

Of these, 55% were male and 43% were female, with 26 clusters. The median age of confirmed cases is 43 years old.

It said 31% of cases have been hospitalised, with 2% (seven cases) admitted to Intensive Care Units.

So as long as they dont give a **** about their 'granny' , their parents and themselves or anyone else...

Absolute cretins and the parents aren't much better imo

To partially paraphrase Pope John Paul (not a fan btw) when he visited Ireland a couple of decades ago..

Young people of Ireland - Cop yerselves on...

I work in retail and all my older customers are terrified at the moment, a lot of them saying they’ve never seen anything like it and some of them lived through the war. It’s worrying and sad at the same time can’t help but feel for them.

Any temperature?

I had a cough for 2 weeks and chesty now, but don't think I had any temperature at any stage. Doctor thinks I'm past infective stage so isn't getting me tested

The older generation are a bigger problem but it's easier the blame the younger generation as they are blamed for everything else. The amount of older people who just dont give **** about this far outweighs younger people.

In Tesco earlier, spotted about a dozen pairs of discarded rubber gloves where people had worn them in-store, loaded the car and ****ed them on the ground.....Pretty scummy behaviour to expect someone else to pick them up after them.

When i was pregnant they said i had no anti bodies to chicken pox even though i had them as a young child. And when i was younger all the kids played together because the parents said once you had them before you wouldn't get them again, and i never did get them again. Weird!

Like a person would be exposed to 47% of swineflu so not get it?

I have watery eyes but assume allergies also have sniffles too now I am worried again

Panrich · 20-03-2020 11:59PM

I'm absolutely murderous right now. My son just came home from his shift in a local restaurant and said that a kitchen porter that he was working alongside yesterday should not have been there. His wife who is a healthcare worker has been feeling ill and yet this scumbag came in to work without telling anyone.

His wife actually rang the restaurant and that's how they found out. My wife has very bad asthma and we have been very careful with our social distancing etc.

Bitta jostling among teenagers rewarded with an assault.

Wow just wow

When I was 14 I had the **** kicked out of me on a daily basis by pr*icks like this for being the class fag and never once hit back.

I blame the parents, and before you ask no I don't have kids myself so what would I know? oh wait a minute, I actually was one once and it wasn't so great.

Wow just wow yourself.

People are assholes.

Here's the mentality we have to out up with:

Lads down my way organising drinks earlier,not a thought for their parents who's houses they'll be going back to later. All stocking up on cheap cans today.

Thanks, no temperature at all. I'm hoping that I come back negative for fear that I passed it onto someone prior to my self isolation. Even if I get a negative I'll continue the isolation for another few days just to be sure.
In the countryside so it's fine really, my club have been very good, we got some groceries and even petrol for the lawnmower dropped to the gate yesterday. I might add Revolut is great for situations like this.

I isolating too. The ticklish throat thing I've heard but had, not a sore eye, but slight pangs of irritation in my eyes

It's not a competition!

Saw with my own eyes - gangs of teenagers out together in close proximity All over town. and not giving a flying fuk. Social distancing my rear end.

But how the fuk do you figure that other 'older generation's are to blame exactly? Groups of young gobhites out congregating because they dont believe they can be infected or carry infection to anyone else!!!

They need a kick up the hole as do the parents who are allowing this type of behaviour to continue.

Spook_ie · 21-03-2020 12:05AM

Have a question.

Given we have such an exponential rise in positive tests, shouldn't we also get a similar exponential rise in the number of people cured.

We need to be testing people faster and retesting them to see if the cure rate has a similar curve following on a week or whatever afterwards
