If Harvey Weinstein has it that means it's spreading around a prison environment. That's not ideal

How is it annoying, you have to cross to the other side of the road to overtake safely anyway. If people can keep 2 metres social distancing it must be possible for a car to keep 1.5 metres form a cyclist.
2 a breast reduces the chance of a driver attempting a dangerous overtake.

A threesome with yourself, Charlie McGreevy and Gerry Adams is more likely I'd say.

With 6 labs on the go results for 4500 should be possible quickly enough I reckon.15000 sounds a huge challenge in both testing and results.

12 labs are currently performing testing.

That number will increase.

They wouldn't cover the equivalent of 15 euro for the test?

The swabs are cheap. The laboratory analysis is not. In the US patients pay for everything.

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.

There isn't a shortage of kits. Sample taking kits were running low but did not run out. There is a constant supply of sample taking kits.

Aren't they adding the agricultural labs in order to up the throughput?

I have only heard that on this thread. I couldn't find a source for this.

I don't see how agri labs are capable to offer testing services.

I know they couldn't imagine they were in the Tour de France but just for a short while :pac:

You don't move around in a pandemic. It's pretty much top of the rulebook. Look what it did to italy

What happened to Italy was not the result of pandemic aware people, moving around while observing social distancing.

Raised bed garden is what you want. When you are done you can just spread soil over.
Going ahead full steam this year - with social distancing tending to your garden is what you want to pass time with added benefit of tasty fresh veggies.
I do have tomatoes, chili peppers, raddish and spinach every year but this year I am planting about 10 other things and increasing size of my veg patch.

Not sure about that. If someone from Dublin is paying for a holiday home or owns a place down the country they have every right to use it.

That's exactly what spread it in Italy and Spain. As soon as schools closed they rushed from cities to their holiday homes in the mountains and by the sea. End result - disastrous spread.

Think about it.

Did you read his article at all ?

"With SARS-CoV2 having emerged so quickly, there just haven’t been enough studies yet on how your immune system may react specifically to SARS-CoV2 and how this may differ from person to person. Therefore, we have to rely on studies of other coronaviruses for now. The closest approximation is probably the even more evil cousin of SARS-CoV2 the original SARS virus"

And you got you cannot be re-infected from that ?

There are different strains of COVID 19. They haven't found a vaccine for one of them nevermind the others. And that article making assumptions on SARS is irrelevant to what you originally posted.

No, but they caused it and then tried to cover it up making it 10 times worst.

Just walked passed a Supermacs there. They were flat out, All the staff packed in like sardines bumping into each other.
The drive thru was overloaded so some people parked their cars and went inside, There was a full queue out to the door.

We need a full shutdown of all non essential businesses in this country. Greedy business owners.
I did a google search to try to find out whats Supermacs policy was for this event.
instead I got a link to how he plans to open more businesses and make more money.

Yeh blame the Chinese, normal to blame others in times of stress for some. Sad as it is.

It was tongue in cheek agreeing with someone they will rule the World. You went on the attack over fk all and I responded. Calm the fk down. Just Let it go. I'm done with this ****fight over fk all.

2 abreast is more likely to cause a dangerous overtaking situation than prevent one.

How the fck is that silly when most of us are going to pick it up eventually no
matter what precautions we take?

I'm just going to repeat that you're assuming the damaging effects of the virus will just be flu-like for you.

https://www.propublica.org/article/a-medical-worker-describes--terrifying-lung-failure-from-covid19-even-in-his-young-patients

I spoke to a respiratory therapist there, whose job is to ensure that patients are breathing well.
...
Since last week, he’s been running ventilators for the sickest COVID-19 patients. Many are relatively young, in their 40s and 50s, and have minimal, if any, preexisting conditions in their charts. He is overwhelmed, stunned by the manifestation of the infection, both its speed and intensity.

This was on live yesterday, I mean what's the point in making up something like that? Did a whatsapp group post it as some round about way of pretending the press are hiding the full effects of the virus? Did you make that up yourself? Following a herd? Idiots on all sides these days.

I'm confused about our official strategy at the moment. Is it flattening the curve and mitigation, or is it about suppression until a vaccine comes? Leo talks about flattening the curve and cocooning, the same as Boris did. But I thought the Imperial College London report advised Boris that this was inadequate and even optimal mitigation measures would result in mass deaths and total overwhelming of the hospitals, and they recommend suppression as the preferred option despite acknowledging it would have profound social and economic consequences. The report focused on the UK, but Ireland's health service will hardly fare better than the NHS.

So what strategy is our government following?

Actually the original report about it's efficacy against covid-29 said there is potential to use it as a prophylactic.

Here's another report that's talk about it's use as a vaccine
