    Thanks. I am self isolating. Symptoms are mild enough.

    Just assume you have it until tested. And don't do any more deliveries. You are probably delivering to vulnerable people trying to isolate.

    +1 Even when they don't live with them under one roof, they tend to live very close by, same apartment building or street and are much more in and out of each others homes. It's in a very general way of course, a much less nuclear family society. Spain is similar enough. Which is fantastic is so many ways, but might be a weakness in this case. :(


    I think when a history of all this is written, it will be seen as important.

    Ah makeandcreate that must have been scary for all of ye. I bet they are delighted to have you home and plenty of time for holidays. Garden best thing for the head.. seed and spud planting here too. Keep well and enjoy time with kids.

    Thanks - doing the best we can - find helping others keeps me sane, look in on a few and bring a dinner to them and have done before this. Hopefully can continue to.
    Meeting a friend online to see can we provide parents locally with art and craft packs with You Tube Vids going forward - challenging the kids to try arts outside of school curriculum.
    And as people are going to be isolated more, perhaps a Grow and Sow initiative - I know little about horticulture but if we all have a plant we can take cuttings from and leave them on the wall for neighbours or seeds.
    No excuse for extreme competition in Tidy Towns this year.
    This could be the most valuable educational year we all get in our lifetime.

    So what? Desperate times call for desperate measures.

    Unless you don't have the means to self medicate anymore. :eek:

    Each to their own, I have to say (no offence to Cinema Guy) that people cope in different ways. Running, going to the gym, going for a jar, going for a coffee etc. are all verboten now.

    It's the new normal. Cope as you can. I would not judge anyone these days.

    That was a joke:D

    Some on here have the impression I am anti drink because I was annoyed at packed pubs while we have a deadly virus spreading.

    Sitting in having a few drinks is the correct thing to do.:)

    Agreed.. or Gretas silence may possibly reflect a view that this is by default advantageous to her sole cause. If things are to be believed nature is benefiting somewhat... though if Greta saw the amount of plastic gloves being used in irish supermarkets...!!!

    I would say the Covid crisis has done nothing to discredit Greta. If anything, it may enhance her cause - people might take her warnings more seriously having seen what a virus can do to our way of life.

    I'd probably caution that the paper is from 2000. But would much have changed since I wonder? An incredible 82% of young single people lived with their mothers

    I don’t think it will have changed much because it’s a cultural thing. My understanding is that it’s just their way of live; multiple generations living under one roof, pulling together so everyone has a good life together, without fear or pressure of money woes. It’s a cultural way of life I’ve long admired, as someone close to his mother and brother, and I find it a shame so many people over this side of Europe run as far away from family as possible.

    Climate probably helps too. Here we are stuck inside with family a lot due to the rain and lack of warmth.

    Wind your neck in Harry...your suggestion to get football started again so Liverpool can win the league was to purposely infect players so they can recover sooner and finish off the season....all just because you want Liverpool to win the Premier League.

    Dont throw stones in a glass house Harry

    Somebody suggested this so their team could win something. I can't belive that's true. If it is I give up on humanity

    You're simultaneously so sick that you think you should take priority over incredibly ill people, and yet well enough to go doing deliveries to customers (which you should never have done if you even suspect you might have the virus)?

    I'm sure the woman you spoke to got the measure of you and advised you accordingly.

    If you really truly believe you are so severely ill that you won't survive the weekend, then call the emergency number for an ambulance.

    Otherwise, isolate yourself at home and monitor your symptoms, like everyone else is doing.

    Good God.

    Good God Lainey sorry to rain on your parade there but if did you see in my post where I said I had deliveries to do. I did not say I had actually delivered anything. You will also note that I was looking for advice from a doctor I did not say I expected a hospital to be cleared out and me to be admitted with 5 star treatment. You will also be delighted to hear that I went straight home and am currently in isolation. Thank you for sharing your extensive wealth of knowledge on the matter. I have now got the measure of you anyway.

    Haters gonna hate. The phrase which originated with Lance Armstrong defenders.

    She's very, very quiet. Not sailing around Sweden even.

    I hope that Mater death is not true. I know for sure (from a doc) a nurse in her 30s was on ECMO. I really hope to god that non verified death is not that poor girl.

    So if you haven't a clue why are you speculating on an open forum?

    you done deliveries today while showing symptoms?

    If you have the Virus you have possibly spread the virus to everyone you have delivered to.

    Sorry, I failed to mention that I did not proceed with the deliveries and went straight home and am now self isolated

    If you want to make a point make it and don't be afraid to do so because you won't get thanks.
