    I'm sick of being tik tok dance videos, they are so annoying to watch. Society are like sheep with their silly apps. The only app I would download is one that blocks tik tok videos.

    why are they wasting their time talking to trump, try and get interviews with his cabinet, senior advisors/faucci at least or governors... Trump is waste of time.

    That's what he's there for. He's a sponge to soak up time and divert attention.

    about 25 patients are in St Fintans psychiatric hospital in Portlaoise.

    9 of those have died from the virus.

    Hi,

    I got tested the weekend (Saturday,) it was fairly unclear in terms of next steps. They just said the HSE will contact me with results, I know their is a backlog and I am not expecting to hear from them before the end of this week at the earliest, however, I am keen to hear from someone who has tested positive.

    What are the next steps?
    How did they contact you? Phone or text?
    Was it a doctor, nurse etc?

    Any help greatly appreciated

    I know someone who tested positive and shared the details with me. Took about 5 or 6 days for result to come. The person on the call didn't say if they were a doctor or nurse, I assume it was just admin staff. They gave the result, and asked for more details about the timing and nature of their symptoms (presumably as a data gathering excercise), then passed on to someone else to ask for details of contacts.

    I assume contact tracing is complicated for some people but in this case they'd been self isolating and could list the names and numbers of the only possible contacts straight away. Advice from there was just to keep self isolating, stressing that this is complete isolation so no 2km runs or grocery shops (I don't know if they offer help with getting food if it's a problem), until 14 days after start of symptoms or 7 days after end, whichever is longer.

    This was for someone who was young and had mild symptoms so there was never any question of hospital or whatever. They weren't informed of any next steps, they've passed the time where they no longer need to self isolate but continuing to do so anyway for safety. Nowhere else to go anyway - there's no certificate of immunity or anything to let you go out and ignore all the rules.

    House Arrest.....laughable

    She should go to SK or China during lockdown and she'll know all about what house arrest is.

    Our lockdown is the Benny Hill and Scooby Doo of lockdowns.....and I am grateful for that

    Did you notice the amount of people being interviewed on tv with book shelves behind them. Some of them look like pictures. In this day and age with e-readers why would so many have book shelves or want to look like they have them?

    That needs to be reposted every time someone on here prattles on about how we need to close down the airport here.

    Along with some of the replies like this one, which show why people still need it.

    Because a lot of people are sick looking at screens all day in work/on their phone, so want to read physical books

    An e-reader is nothing like a computer screen.

    I'm guessing the vast majority of people without ereaders and/or those who prefer to read physical books?

    Man people will have been collecting books for decades before there were any e-readers. No mystery!

    I prefer a book to any of them e readers or kindles.
    No charging a book and losing chargers.
    It’s nice to go in a bookshop too and do an hours looking from you.
    Manys the good book I got in the charity shop for pennies and give them away when you have it finished

    Last week a target for our ire was of course....the deaf. Today, people who own books. The bastards.

    I can't wait to see who it will be tomorrow.

    Mmmhmmm and when the epoch-cleansing EMP hits from out of the blue and wipes out all your fancy pants e-readers, it will be old fogeys like me with our shelves full of herbals, gardening and craft books, DIY Encyclopedias vols 1 through 80, ancient histories, science books and tattered copies of Dante's Inferno who will rebuild a civilised world for you, young man. :) Hold mah earrings...
