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!

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

Maybe people couldn't renew contracts due to lock down?

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

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.

G'wan Cork!

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.

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

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?

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

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.

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.

Yes that's what I meant, but I think these people would never test positive.

They would, they would have antibodies present that prove they had been infected by it

Seemingly so. I hope no one is suggesting that 12m have perished there. The drop in subscribers is more likely related to the lockdown and collapse in economic activity.

It's noticeable that many people seem to have travelled on planes with the virus and yet not infected their fellow passengers and cabin crew (if this was happening, we would be hearing of thousands of such cases by now in Europe).

Prolonged exposure seems to be more of a factor.

Oh wow, thats interesting! I am terrified of shingles.

Surely all the community cases would have been picked up in the way you describe as they are of unknown source?

A lot of reports of same sympton on this thread.

Yet doesn't seem to be listed as a Covid-19 symptom...

expectationlost · 21-03-2020 12:26AM

why is wearing latex gloves at petrol pumps (and just for the time it takes) not a good idea ? https://www.pscp.tv/w/1LyxBNDZVWjxN Tony Holohon dismisses it because it was on whatsapp, too quick to dismiss things on social media like the band practice letter.

Thanks, was thinking it might have been ahead of Dublin and Cork per capita but couldn't be arsed doing the calculations. Hopefully just early days in terms of the stats and not a sign of a cluster in Westmeath.

They do, community transmission describes exactly that, picking it up off strangers
There were 60 community cases in Ireland two days ago, presumably more now

What doesn't? Tightness in the chest is definitely a symptom ie an infection in the chest.

You know you have to be 15 mins with an infected person to get it. If someone was with an infected person for 15mins then ya it's possible.
I think some people think they can get it if someone sneezes in the same aisle in the supermarket
