I am sick to the bone of my mother not washing her hands and when she does after I beg her its for like 3 seconds with fairy liquid.

Anyone else in the same boat?

You can do what she did with you as a kid and tell her she's not getting any dinner unless she washes them properly.

The good news is the weather is to break over the weekend, we won't have to look out at good weather #strawclutching

The only thing we are missing is a dollop of rain to give the streets a good scrub while there is no one on them :cool:

I had to leave the house today to go get essentials, bread milk etc.

Holy sweet mother of almighty Jesus

What dont people get? Groups out jogging, numerous families walking, lots of people just seemingly out. Given the layout of the town the footpaths barely allow 2 people side by side so social distancing not possible.

Pi$$ed me off

'Person who left house, who then proceeds to complain about other people who have left house' - post no. 473.

I’m totally serious, what’s wrong with wanting consistency with this very important briefing. I’m on the internet all day I have to go looking for the time and then it nearly always changes. What hope so older people have of ever knowing what time it’s on?

No we won't! You said the same yesterday evening for today!

The highest rise was 66,000 last Friday. Today will beat that but you're not going to get 150,000 cases tmrw. Simple maths.

In WW2, the European death toll over the course of the war works out at roughly 20,500 deaths, every single day for the 6 years it lasted.

Not sure of the relevance, however it was an horrendous body count, plus the vast majority of those deaths were from 1941/42 onwards, so the average during those years would have been utterly horrendous.

I have a housemate who refuses to apply social distancing. She doesn't work. She spends every day out visiting her friends houses and going on trips to Wicklow from Dublin for walks. I explained everything to her and the consequences of her actions for the population. It's driving me nuts. I'm doing everything I can to minimize contact and am holed up in my room after work everyday and all weekend. May as well concede I'm going to get infected soon and be out of work for a few weeks at least.

They have to prioritize their work presumably.
What you could do is Google the results every night at 9pm and probably get it consistent that way?

He makes these predictions but forgets to see the daily rise and how much it increases by day.

Are her friends not just as bad for letting her visit?

Or they could just hold the briefing late enough every evening to ensure they have all they need.

There has been a suspected case of Coronavirus located in Blackrock, Co.Dublin. Emergency services had attended a location outside a house along the Blackrock by-pass in Temple Road just after 4pm this afternoon. When I was walking back from Blackrock today; I had seen one ambulance & one other car linked with the emergency services stop outside the house. When I was standing near the local Catholic Church (St John the Baptist); I saw the ambulance travel along the by-pass from Stradbrook Road & then doing a U-turn at the traffic lights near Frank Keane Motors. They both stopped outside a house located near the traffic lights around the corner of Newtown Avenue.

Now what I am posting is obviously unverified information. If anyone living near the house wants to say that this information is not true. That is fine with me as long as we are informed about it. When this crisis has unfolded only weeks ago; I didn't want to take the risk of walking outside that house because I didn't want to get the virus spread onto me & onto other people as I went home. I took the instant precaution of turning around straight away & walked back onto another road to make my journey home instead which was the right thing to do under the circumstances. Just a word of advice to you all. If you do see any emergency service personnel outside someone's property on your travels. Just be very careful in avoiding the virus being spread onto you whenever you do see them. Follow the official medical advice from our government & the HSE & self isolate at home immediately if you ever get symptoms.

Thanks.

Are you sure your rubber necking from outside the church was at a safe distance?

Presuming she is driving, give the guards her reg and tell them she is flouting the social distancing restrictions constantly.

I see nothing changes at the FAI. Bailed out with 20 million but the big wigs are generously taking a 50% pay cut.

Ye're broke ye cnuts, go on the Covid payment like the rest of us.

Said person left house following correct guidelines, to get essentials.

Numerous others were walking in groups with dogs, group of 3 in lycra jogging, couple of aul fellas just chatting zero social distancing. All appeared to be going against what we've been asked to do.

Im pointing out an observation of the restrictions not being heeded by some

Apparently, from midnight tonight they are going to be releasing daily figures for asymptomatic cases (following growing anger from abroad).

This should be be very telling...

Give up on your China thing. No one else is reporting on asymptomatic cases, because no one else is testing for them.

The only way of establishing asymptomatics infection is by blood testing. The reason the Chinese have statistics is because they did retrospective testing, AKAIK sparked by some non-Positive tests arising in close contact clusters.

Chinese reported reported existence of asymptomatic transmission early on in Jan.

The pressure you refer to is part of US media spin effort of a Chinese National Health Commission decision sparked by Chinese people's concerns of infection, and by possible reinfections in Wuhan.

China's previously published figures of asymptomatics add ~1.5k to existing figure of 83k, under 2%.

If you don't trust anything coming out of China presume you'll be rejecting inoculation with any vaccine developed?

Allegedly!

harr · 31-03-2020 07:28PM

Almost all the people I seen out today not adhering to guidelines were older people.. all out for a walk together chatting outside the post office and supermarket in small groups. One very elderly lady I was speaking to ( at a distance) had popped out for a bar of chocolate and didn’t understand the need to stay in .. and told me she has lived long enough and waddled on laughing, no mention of the people she was putting at risk or the people that would have to care for her if she did catch it.. little or no cocooning down my way..

Is there a reason why things have turned so dramatically in France, increased testing or an outbreak in a different region?
