    How do you go about asking for a precautionary test as opposed to having symptoms?

    That's a waist of kits and resource time. Wait until you show clear of symptoms if you ever might get the virus.

    Has China given any advice on how to get this under control?

    I thought that was obvious :confused:

    For some people even opening your front door is a crime against humanity! The CMO has been clear and consistent on this: getting your exercise is fine but keep your distance.

    What of you have an underlying condition that has not been identified yet. The morgue for you

    yep and with all the defibrillators around the place esp at gaa pitches, it seems a lot of people in this country have underlying heart conditions they are not aware of.

    this virus will not be good for them.

    Haven't been able to get Dettol in the shops for weeks.

    I prefer Savlon but have not seen it for years, does it still exist?

    Seems like some people are determined to be angry at someone for this. It's pretty ugly behaviour.

    I am inclined to say no, but would prefer to wait until the review.

    I'm late forties, fit and healthy, My attitude is I want to get the damn thing, fight it off, as a healthy immune system will, quarantine for the recommended time, and get on with my life.

    If I get it and recover do I get a badge to say I'm allowed to act normal again?

    Put yourself forward for a Darwin award just in case.

    Typical shallow nonsense reply from you. Some good points made by other posters though.

    Avoiding getting it, I believe, is a delusion.

    We will all get it in one form or another. Eventually.

    Ironically, getting it as a mutated form, as in from someone who has survived it, is less likely to do serious harm.

    You dont ask but certain circumstances. Ive heard examples of people with asthma or with a high risk family member being put on the waiting list even though they very sure they dont have it, just the GP wants to make sure they dont. Im not slagging it off by the way, its an excellent policy. Hopyfully the testers and labs can keep up.

    Yes, including to Ireland. I've read plenty of accounts of Chinese officials advising authorities in Europe.

    What is their advice?

    Probably not. You might be immune but those around you won't be. So you might have coronavirus on your hands, shoes etc and pass it to someone else. So still need to take precautions.

    It's hard to see the need for it in Ireland at the moment. Dr Holohan says he is seeing huge compliance with social distancing recommendations and their own private market research is backing this up.

    Those demanding it day after day on social media don't seem to have any expert knowledge on the subject or on whether it is necessary.

    You nearly lost me at "trigger" but I have advice for you.

    You need to go away and do your own research.

    Theres some that want everyone to just stay in, dont go out at all

    Everything is within reason, we can all go out for our walks while keeping social distance but keeping that distance seems impossible for some people, especially those who continue to go up to the dublin and wicklow mountains.

    CMO said we can get out for exercise but it's all within reason and some people are taking the piss on this

    This came up earlier in the thread.

    Its a myth. Plenty of young people with no history are being intubated due to pneumonia caused by coronavirus. The numbers requiring ICU and ventilators in Italy is so high that they are not treating people over 60 who are also positive. They have over 7500 ventilators. We have a fraction of that.

    3 Doctors at a hospital in London are all on ventilators "in a bad way". They are all 30 years old.

    The stats are already out there. A lot of people are under 50. The median age in Ireland who have tested positive so far is 44 years old.



    What part of no testing kits right now did you not understand. If there are 35 already testing centres and are now another 6, what difference does that make to the 40,000 people waiting to be tested. Its quite simple. My first answer should have sufficed.

    What part of "the Hse have said they have 35000 test lits and more are on the way dont you understand as and?

    At 4.5k tests per day that sd 8.5 days worth of tests if the kits are one kit one test

    And they've more coming next week

    That’s not necessarily true. Those of us who are immunocompromised are hoping we don’t get it at all because we probably won’t survive. We need to slow the spread to allow for medicines to be tested.

    40,000 on a waiting list so anyone looking for precautionary test is living in cloud cuckoo land. Very narcissistic really. Stay at home and do as advised.

    Was just wondering earlier how many of the 40,000 waiting for a test are time wasters and have done this? Some people are hypochondriac and love turning up to doctors and hospitals unnecessarily.

    Some will do it for social media attention too no doubt.

    Not many, but definitely some.

    Wasn't being narcissistic was wondering what the previous poster was talking about in relation to tests being ordered as a precaution. My impression is that you either have symptoms or you don't.
