    They wouldn't be tested but they should still self isolate. Equally, without a fever, they're not likely to need hospitalisation.

    Fair enough. Think I'm just annoyed that my test will probably not happen. More so that some people think I'm being a drama queen.

    Told my colleague that I have asthma because of the illness when she texted me today. She responded by saying it's probably caused by allergies and that people are worried too much about symptoms. FFS I at the very least have a chest infection of some sort that caused asthma that I never had before!

    Anyone watching trumps latest car crash presser. He's lashing out at everyone, media, the EU (He's going to crush the EU once the crisis is over, he holds all the cards apparently). He spent 15mins listing sh2t he made happen that no other president has done.

    He says they're lucky he's in charge or they wouldn't even have a country left. He's gone off the rails completely

    Yep. Fantastic watch! It's unbelievable that he is the president.

    The lies.. Are there people who don't know he's lying?

    But the 6 didn't require treatment so wouldn't have added to a waiting time. It's irrelevant

    It's not because they take up nurses time, getting in the way, each having their piece to say. Certainly not irrelevant.

    the fact is its taking 4-5 days to get a test and 4-5 days to get the results , so its not like its for your reassurance , its more to map clusters

    Trump knows his target market will buy into anything he says 100%.


    No on sane would vote for him anyway so nothing to loose with these rants.

    Irish people not being touchy feely and generally weird about hand holding and kissing is actually going to prove vital.

    I think this social distancing is going to be highly welcome for many, many people. You know having a neighbour that you don't like, that kind of a scenario. I've been practicing distancing for a long time with a local woman who's an absolute headache of an individual. I nearly killed myself a few times crossing the road from her if I see her in the distance so I'm well practiced in this social distancing.

    Trumps a moron who should never be president.

    But CNN spend all day attacking Trump on purpose, lets not pretend they don't have an agenda, they do, Jeffrey Zucker admitted he wanted to destroy Trump.

    But Trump should be above all that, Obama was with Fox News.

    The night my mum fell and broke her hip, there was one in A & E with nothing more than a mild case of food poisoning accompanied by an entourage of 6.

    I ended up in the Mater with bi lateral pulmonary embolisms a few years back. Wife drove me there, wasnt in an ambulance. Very unpleasant and potentially fatal.

    Couldn't believe the carry on in A&E and the carry on of some who clearly looked like regulars and their sense of entitlement. After about 8 hours I had to politely ask be seen.
    - lot of pain and drifting in and out of conciousness. Doctor who eventually saw me said I was lucky to be alive. A PE can kill you pretty much instantly.

    Be good to see the wasters banished from our health system after this episode ends.

    Yep , get that. Would be more to shut up the doubting Thomas'. Anyway can't control if they are getting the wrong end of the stick so shouldn't be annoyed.

    I have at minimum a bad chest infection that I have would be off work for in any case as I am breathless.

    this is bizarre. how does this gowl get access to PPE that health officials and governments can't?

    A Chinese takeaway in Cabra donated 5,000 masks to the HSE - and are giving out masks to customers - mind boggling how some people are getting their hands on this stuff -

    By changing the testing criteria will this not skew any future curve that is measured against the HSE test figures?

    I thought we were doing a great job in this regard. National stadia provided as testing centres, drafting in the army, government green-lighting whatever was needed. It just seems again the HSE cannot execute the management of what is necessary even when every resource is provided.

    Trump is not a politician though and has no interest in pretending to be. He is having the time of his life at those media events.

    I’m not sure if he is having any real impact on the US response to the virus. I assume he is more or less just following the advice he is been given.

    Look, everyone knows the Easter thing is nonsense. It’s just typical trump bluster. It doesn’t really matter.

    What are u trying to say?

    Theres no co-ordinated plan. Possible lip service being paid to public. Testing the general public isnt priority, message seems to just be to present to hospital once symptoms are severe. Theres an urgency to test healthcare workers though which is understandable as everyone is needed.

    My own situation, mother in law has been admitted with underlying condition (late stages of lung cancer). Upon arrival she was tested (shortness of breath, but these have been symptoms for over a year and needs oxygen support anyway). Turns out she has Covid19 and is now in hospital isolation being monitored but no major turn yet, seems stable.

    Remaining 6 people in their house have asked for tests as one of them most certainly passed it to her, 2 of the 6 have been sick, one with Covid symptoms, the hubby with severe aches and pains aswell as vomiting bug. They have not been put forward for tests, more or less been told to see it out, and to present to hospital if things deteriorate at their home.

    Don't worry, they'll be back and rte will be telling us how many hundred are on trolleys waiting to be seen (when 95% of them have nothing really serious wrong with them).
