    I live in the city centre and I'm seeing the opposite. It's obviously quieter than normal but still groups/families/couples out and about who couldn't care less.

    I think the occurrence of this type of behaviour is directly proportional to a poster's sense of outrage about people being out.

    Probably high flyers, Epstein wannabes , leave the wife and kids at home, telling them they have ''business trip'', and then fly some girls, young enough to be their kids to Villas in France.


    Glad they got some publicity . Should be named, just for their stupidity, sometimes what'd legal is not morally correct

    His tweet has some merit.

    Worryingly, watching is actions over the past year, I have a real feeling he is going to try make an entrance into Irish politics.
    Nah, more money in whiskey and bad fashion!

    It's completely understandable but a really concerning reality that we have people feeling guilty to ask for a test. :(

    I hope the test goes well for you and the symptoms subside quickly.

    Yawn.

    Anything to say about the content of his Tweet?

    It's been said many times on this thread already. The story has been debunked repeatedly.

    FYI- Conor McGregor doesn't need you to rescue him, and he will never notice you and he will never marry you.

    I'm reading another forum with people saying they have had corona like symptoms for over a month. They feel OK for now but even going back to work leads into a bout of exhaustion. It's an English forum. They haven't been tested but they think it is corona.


    That's not right. Exhaustion a month after symptoms appear.

    They will be many employers up and down the country dying of heart attacks in their beds with the idea of allowing staff of sick for a few weeks.

    I have had symptoms now for over a week. I was reluctant to speak to my GP as I didn’t want to put others out who may need a test more than me (I am 30 years old,) however, despite resting, isolating and doing as instructed my symptoms got dramatically worse.

    I got the email today with confirmation of time, date and location of test.

    Little nervous about, has anyone had it done and if so what should I expect? Do I need to bring anything with me?

    Thank you
    there is a thread on boards for people re being or have been tested you might find more advice there. goodluck wishing you a speedy recovery for your health

    I'm guessing it's safe to get take away food since a few are still open
    Guess so :)

    as safe as purchasing food in the supermarket. possibly safer given that it is hot and cooked.

    But still you need to bring home, wash hands before entering, empty food onto plate, get rid of packaging, wash hands, eat.

    No one needs a test more than anyone else... it doesn't cure anyone. It is however vital in tracking the disease as it triggers the contact tracing process. If you can't breathe either through corona or some other condition, you will be treated and having a test will not influence how.

    It is repeated at the press conferences every .... single... night - tests are not done for the individual patient, they are done for the public health reasons - to stop it spreading to everyone else, by starting the contract tracing process.

    This has been around for a good bit. Nobody knows but lots of speculation as to why. Sample mentioned in this is small too.

    Lots of possibilities I suppose. The virus could have mutated into multiple strains and those people may have been infected by different strains, it could also have HIV like properties where the virus can only be held back by the body rather than destroyed which would be a real grim scenario for humanity.

    Hopefully it's just botched testing where those patients turned up with a flu or other condition the first time and were incorrectly diagnosed.

    Sure but there's annoyance and a form of psychosis that has afflicted some. I think people are largely observing this.

    if you look at the edcd numbers inc which include germanys numbers then here is todays. The green is the one we get from the HSE press release
    Big jump today tonight!

    ECDC numbers are collected in the morning time each day. Our released ones are from 1pm to 1pm so theres always going to be a difference in numbers.

    Soon see what comes out today.

    Oh and the German tests they've previously said would be 2-3 weeks old so most people would have already recovered and if not be in hosptial. So again its ICU and hosptial numbers to watch and has been for a while now

    Guess it depends where you're located. Selfish behaviour appears to be more prevalant where I'm based.

    There is no restriction on people coming through ports and airports, nor will there be. 14 days self-isolation applies.

    you mean self quareenteen. self isolation is a step up re HSE.
    I hope that is regularily announced on the tannoy at 5minute intervals! on their tickets and the gardai remind them too.

    What's up with Pakistan? Huge surge of 2000 new cases today. Only 1 new death for 66 total. If they're surging in new cases, their deaths are going to be very high in the next week or so...

    How can they start the contact tracing process if people are waiting weeks for their results?

    Strange that you left out the 77 deaths, bit I suppose that hurts your purpose.

    This one and the close-down-the-ports one are like a bad penny, or whack-a-mole or something.

    Long story short, it probably isn't happening. More research needed. MSM making a panic at this point is not helpful.

    Likeliest explanations are testing error (false positive on first diagnosis, or on second, or a false negative when they were recovering), atypical patient group, or low frequency lapse into poorly-detectable chronic infection.

    The more media-exciting explanations are unlikely and while not impossible, would be very surprising indeed.

    The poster should've debunked it then rather than the boring thanks whoring post.

    Well, viral latency, where a virus enters a kind of dormancy but can be reactivated, is a recognised phenomenon in certain viruses. Herpes viruses being one of the best known who do this - coldsores keep recurring for example. HIV does something similar but in a different way. Respiratory Syncitial Virus and Cytomegaloviris can do it too. I've never heard of it in relation to a coronavirus but I suppose it's possible.
