    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?

    Dial the emergency if you need help.

    Occasionally but as news or feature type item, not as deliberate campaign unfortunately.

    Not trying to upset anyone. It is a fact that the development of a vaccine is not guaranteed.

    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.

    The last few SARS viruses had burnt themselves out before the vaccine was even ready and the vaccine work was halted.

    Also many schools came back a day early in August to take the Monday before Paddy's day off.

    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.

    Why is there no vaccine for SARS, its because funding was pulled because it died out and nobody needed it. Plus it was 18 years ago, we are 1000s of times more progressed than back then.

    It shows where we are that I am relieved when we "only" had 121 new cases and 1 death. Every evening, I await with dread the daily result fearing that there is going to be a spike in the results and the surge has come.
    How ironic that it was the Chinese Philosopher Confucius who uttered the curse 'May you live in interesting times'

    Most if not all schools would have closed last Mon and Tue anyway for the long St Patrick`s weekend. So that makes 4 schooldays to date.

    What do you mean by burnt themselves out? Do they get bored and just stop?

    It's time there should be. Like that video I posted from the health minister. They did it for drink driving. Proven to be effective.

    The Friday, Wed, Thur, Fri.
    Most schools had Mon and The 17th off already.
    Hence why it feels like longer, but in reality only told close for 4 actually., so far!
    Junior Cert will definitely be put off, all resources and time will rightly be afforded to getting the go ahead for the LC, if at all possible.

    From Guardian feed.
    The global fashion retailer H&M has announced tonight that it is using its global supply chain to produce “personal protective equipment” such as masks, gloves and aprons for use in hospitals and by health care workers to help tackle the widespread effects of the COVID-19 pandemic,

    Unfortunately they seem to be skipping the critical stage and going straight to the dead stage in the UK. Their daily death stats are pretty high.

    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?

    (And....) I was passing a shop the other day and heard a loud series of coughs. Looked in and saw the Sales Assistant spluttering all over her hand.
    Walked in and said really politely (honestly, I keep it polite and try to sound light!), "sorry, excuse me but you may not realise you're completely visible. It would be best not to cough on your hand".
    She told me, she actually said, "oh it's OK. I'm only back from being sick but it was only flu. It's not that swine flu thing, or whatever it is that's going round. But thanks anyway." She then rolled her eyes.
    The Sales Assistant that was coughing all over her hand, works in a jewellers. Nice.

    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

    We didn't run out of tests. They said we could run low if the delivery was delayed and it wasnt

    Are we the only country in Europe that seems to be keeping the numbers down?

    There's a few of us : Norway, Denmark, Finland and Israel seem to have something of a lid on things as well.
