    Eh, no, unscrupulous pharmacists in Nigeria are reported to have preyed on people by advertising the drug as being recommended as effective by the Americans and upping the price by 300% in the same breath. Some of them overdosed.

    The Nigerians, can't help scamming the living sh1t out of anything that moves, even their own vulnerable people.

    These days, those flights would be mostly Irish people returning home. Very few people would travel out of their own country now.

    A higher testing rate is good. A higher infection rate is bad.

    I can see the point you are trying to make, but you are wording it poorly.



    To use your berry example: You are saying a higher infection rate is good.
    Case A: You have 200 berries. 10 of them are poisonous.
    Case B: You have 200 berries. 50 of them are poisonous.

    Obviously the second is worse.

    Bad analogy maybe but the point is if the 10 infected people are not identified they will multiply and infect a lot more than 50, whereas if the 50 infected people are identified self isolated the disease will not spread.

    Out of 50 people only 1 is likely to need hospitalisation.

    Again realise that in the UK even now and in early days in Italy people are/were only tested if they were brought to hospital with severe symptoms.

    We are testing people because they met someone who has the disease or just because they have cold symptoms. We are not just testing people who have to go to hospital. This is a very good thing an we are going to find loads of carriers.

    With any patient result they always go back to the Dr that requested them.

    Results that are released are transmitted to the GP practice via Health Link, a software program where GPs can see any lab results as soon as they are released.

    I dont know why or if patients are told their results before their Dr is. That seems irresponsible and could cause panic. Think of any tests results you've ever gotten. Your GP has to go through them with you to explain what you should do next.


    People that have had a swab sample taken but have not yet been processed are not inclused in test figures.

    The number of tests that have been carried out, ~13,000 or whatever it is, is the number of swabs that have been processed by the lab and results released to the requesting doctor.

    Thanks very much for that info.

    That's what was confusing me. I was taking my temperature 3/4/5 times a day - no fever. I had the cough but all I kept hearing was if you had a cough AND a temperature self isolate. Now it's 'or'.

    I was aware that it was a case of either/or

    USA did a good job closing travel early from China and Europe, when the MSM were calling him racist and people on here saying we should retaliate. At least now they can devise a plan state by state and have that extra leeway.

    When was travel closed from Europe?
    Why is there over 43 thousand cases in USA?

    Public Service Broadcasting. She could have just hid behind a sick note. I commend her.

    It will be reassuring for people knowing her confirmed diagnosis. I try to avoid watching it but you can only commend her.

    But the Irish seem to get annoyed watching him? I laugh as well. Irish seem to get so serious about him.

    Are they confused about which country they live in?

    The leader of the free world label just inflates the American ego.

    And no, the attention to America is very high among Irish and much less in other parts of the world.

    Bressie must be finding the social distancing tough on the pocket alright.

    Must be hard to find gullible hr managers to pay him to speak his nonsense when you can't fill a meeting room with sheep to lap it up.

    The government had plenty of notice to start scaling up testing, while there is Trojan working on now, why on earth didn’t they start two weeks ago!
