    Hope this isn't categorised as asking for medical advice, but I'm looking for an answer. I don't have any symptoms or anything, but I also am not registered with any GP at the moment. If I were to need a Coronavirus test, how would I go about it since I can't ring my GP?

    Norway's "full lockdown" is basically exactly the same as what we've been doing?


    only supermarkets and pharmacies are open in Norway (same as Italy, Spain, France, Belgium)

    I am a positive person within the framework of actual reality. The cases have not been jumping up 30% for the last three days, that is very positive news.

    You cannot trust this figure when we are limited by the about of tests we can do and process. Also we ran out of tests Wednesday and a delivery arrived Thursday

    That's 177 since the start isn't it ?. At the start everyone was being brought into hospital. Group of 6 with no symptoms tested positive and spent 7 days in the mater.
    What is current number of 'Recovered'?

    Even better would be an indigenous production employing same graphical techniques but omitting 'elderly' meme.

    I don't watch TV, but are there any public messages like that being shown?

    Seems the lady responsible for half the coronavirus cases in Uruguay was made into a viral meme (no pun intended) and is nationally hated. Can we do that for any of the self-centred spreaders here?

    Should be prosecuted :eek::mad:

    Yes is the answer to that question, but your not going here any positivity in here. We all know it could change but **** me a bit of positivity wouldnt kill us, someone else is after posting there may be no vaccine, I mean what kind of horsehit is that.

    I think you are confusing realism for pessimism.

    There is still no vaccine for SARS (a related virus), which hit back in 02/03...

    It's not necessarily pessimism to suggest we might struggle to create a vaccine for this one as well.

    Effective treatments might be our best bet in the near future.

    She continued on, not giving a fuk, collected her trolley and wheeled out of the shopping center.

    No idea what germs she could have been spreading. But it's OK for her, cause SHE was wearing gloves.

    Anyone remember the story going around a few years ago about most of the ordering touch screens in McDonald's being tested and resulting positive for human excrement?
    You want fries with that?

    I think the advice is to just ring a GP near you.

    went for a drive to portrane and donabate beaches today. didn't get out of car. i noticed better social distancing of older people walking on the beaches ...teenagers however were still hanging around in their feral groups...

    BUT the car parks and roads were jammers and everyone was piling back on top of each other when packing up to leave.

    you have to treat every single person you come into the vicinity of as being a walking petri dish!

    It's hard to seem them opening again in the next 4 or 5 weeks, sometime in May would be my earliest guess,

    When this is finally ever over I'd like to take Simon for a pint

    He looks pale and ill himself, his is under some stress and I believe he has Crohn's, he is really trying to get the message across to everyone for social distancing

    That explains all the bottles of wine in her shopping trolley yesterday. Going to be isolated, gotta get some wine!

    Edit: RT breakingnews was misleading. She is quarantined, not positive..... Yet.....

    I heard them talking about this on the radio. You just call your closest GP in that case, it doesn't matter if you are not registered with them.

    I’m seeing reports on twitter and elsewhere of failure to take adequate precautions by certain major retailers.

    Someone needs to lay the law down with them and at least point out they’ve legal duties of care to their staff in particular and also customers in the stores.

    If they’re not taking adequate measures for whatever reason, they need to be closed down temporarily as they’d endangering everyone who’s working there or shopping there.


    from the Indo: Retailers with international operations have raised concerns that Irish coronavirus restrictions on shopping are less rigid than in many other countries.

    Must be a massive increase in testing. Especially in New York which is reporting over 12,000 today alone (so far). All those cases don't appear out of no where. Fair play for catching up on testing but they were so far behind the curve on testing that it could be bad.
