You have lots of customers in their 90s and 100s? Where do you work?

I’ve a lady who’s 92 was still coming up to get her meat off us up until the week before last but now the sons and daughters are coming up without her (and rightly so). I’ve another lady of 88 who comes up every week because she doesn’t trust the family to pick out the right cuts :pac: she’s no choice at the moment unfortunately.

Edit: now that I think about it I have at least 5+ customers in their 90s and countless in their 80s. Old people love picking out their own meat.

genuine question, How come Iran has had a steady 1.2k-1.3K cases per day and hasn't gone up in the last week?

At some stage government starts massaging statistics. It is called politics.
After that come another stage when you simply cant keep up with or abandon testing altogether.

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.

Was thinking the exact same thing if I did/do have it that wouldn't have wanted to pass it on to anyone when I thought it was just a cold.

Although probably would be better to have had it with mild symptoms and be one of the first to be immune. Can then go and help people.

Problem with me not being tested is I don't know either way. Have to self isolate until next Thursday

So in total between Jan and Feb total mobile subscriptions in China decreased by over 12 million?

In fairness someone may have more than one phone numbers, and maybe some businesses failed too. But these figure should be a good indications of the actual number of people infected (not necessary died) and how serious the situation was in China

Maybe they are errors and those companies will *amend* the data in the next few days!

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.

The older generation need to stay the **** at home as well, they are both to blame but you never hear people saying a bunch of old gob****es outside the shop talking to each other.

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.

Not true in my experience, and I would imagine most people's. You rarely see old people congregate in large groups (at least not out in the open) but any time I've been to my local park, there are at least four or five large groups of teenagers congregating (one in a fairly cramped skate park). Older people are definitely bad for the stopping and chatting, and I'm sure it accumulates, but nothing on a par with teenagers from what I've seen.

Why has the media not mentioned what Paddy Cosgrave and The WebSummit did earlier today? It is a gesture that others such as Denis O'Brien, Dermot Desmond and Larry Goodman should be doing but I will hold my breath on that.

Yes my worry is my elderly parents, I have stayed clear of them since coming back from Spain but I let my brother who lives with them borrow my car on Sunday. I had just been in it before him, so the worry is I pass it to him through that and he passes it onto them. If it wasn't for that incident i be quite relieved to have a positive as in my case and fingers crossed my wife's case symptoms so far are mild or non existent.

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!

Youngest of a large gang of siblings - supposedly had chickenpox as a toddler. Marked on medical records.

Then had full blown chicken pox in my thirties. (Medically diagnosed).

Explanation was I had caught it so young - it didnt fully trigger the immune system.

Was told that the bonus(!) was that the later infection potentially provided some protection against contracting shingles!

Westmeath with 12 must be the highest per capita outside of Dublin and Cork. Any particular areas affected anyone know?

mikeoc85 · 21-03-2020 12:18AM

I’ve had a weird tightness in my chest for the past few days and it kind of feels like there’s a ‘queasiness’ in my chest.

I assume it’s not covid19 as I’ve had no fever or haven’t felt sick.

Interesting stuff : nobody seems to have picked up the virus through very casual contact like being in a shop or using public transport. It seems to be more along the lines of prolonged exposure to a person with the virus.

Maybe the numbers can be a substitute for sports rooting, lower numbers are a better thing.

As said it's not a fracking competition!

Large gangs of teenagers and kids 20+ observed today.

How many large gangs of old ones have you observed exactly?

The amount of ****e on social media being pushed that only old people can get Coronsvirus is staggering.

Those young gob****es need a kick up the hole and if their parents wont stop them - then I reckon a curfew and lockdown will...

Would picking it up in a shop etc. not be the 96 cases that they don't know where they got it from?

expectationlost · 21-03-2020 12:21AM

as of 18th March 114 healthcare workers have it now https://www.gov.ie/en/press-release/3e7517-statement-from-the-national-public-health-emergency-team/

up from 84 https://www.gov.ie/en/publication/ce0da9-covid-analysis-as-at-as-of-midnight-tuesday-17-march-350-cases/ from stats for 17th of March

Because dictatorship
Even Western officials have valid concerns that Iran has hidden thousands of excess deaths and of course hundreds of thousands of cases

Unfortunately we're all going to be working ourselves into a state at the slightest hint of any of the symptoms for the foreseeable future. Fever seems to be the most common one, had a raised temperature last week and was really concerned, nothing else, chest, throat and head were all fine, then a few rushed trips to the bathroom made me realise it was the other end and nothing to be too worried about.

Less alcohol related injuries, no sports injuries, less traffic incidents, less work related injuries and many treatments and ops cancelled. No mystery.

You're forgetting the most important cohort: the group that should never have been in A&E in the first place.

Ring the doctor in the morning and presume you have it in how you act now.Self isolate. Definitely don't go to work/anywhere inside with strangers. No temperature is not a definite sign you don't have it.
