CoVid19 Part X - 1,564 cases ROI (9 deaths) 209 in NI (7 deaths) (25 March) *Read OP*

It'll be next week before the social distancing takes any real effect on numbers, ICU nbers are the real ones to watch, they get to high and where in serious trouble

Housing, healthcare, homeless, greed, failure etc etc. All but a distant memory in the mind of the fickle public.

After seeing the trolley numbers today I'm starting to think they are all exaggerated and really just morons fault.

Personal responsibility.

So now you can't get tested unless you're seriously struggling to breathe and/or in a critical condition

God forbid if you or someone you know is ever in that position, ring an ambulance immediately and you won't be long getting tested after that.

I was under the impression that the number of tests was to be increased this week. Have a family member waiting for results from a test on Monday. His dr has said they're expecting Sunday's results tomorrow so IF the number of tests went up on Monday there may be a bigger increase from Friday...

Several stories on the news of people purposely coughing in other people's faces for a laugh? Is this for real? People like that need to be rounded up and culled.

If somebody does that to me, given the current situation, I am taking it as a threat against my life (and my family's lives) and will be letting the fists fly (even on teenagers).

What are people's thoughts on these stories and how are they planning on reacting if this situation happens to them?

Any numbers for the UK today?

You'd have to imagine that there was a certain element of panicky eejits running to the doctor because they woke up the morning after skulling a slab of bavaria with a headache and demanded their GP to bump them up to the top of the queue.

Of course, only a minority, but if you had 1000 a people a day doing this and making genuine cases wait, then it would have had to be stopped


Yes they had to be referred by a GP but sure the GP would make that determination over the phone based on what the person told them.

By the same measure, expect a few of them who want a test tomorrow to ring up and say they have a temperature

Of course everyone should be tested, but we all know that there will be me-feiners trying to jump any queue they can, even though they are not priority at all.
Whereas there will then be genuine cases struggling at home and not wanting to bother anyone
