    It's possible that you did touch your face pre-mask but it didn't register with you. I know when the pandemic started I became very aware of how often I touched my face, something which I wasn't even aware of up to then.

    Yep was joking with a mate of mine back in April that as soon as I was in a shop either my nose or eyes would get itchy and I couldn't fecking scratch it.

    If you have ever given a training session in work etc you really notice how often people touch around their face.

    You might want to go to a doctor for a check up if you are having difficulty breathing from just wearing a simple mask.

    Ah shure I'm pushing 80 and smoke 60 fags a day. Is it any wonder I can't breathe.



    Actually it is a psychological effect of feeling stuffy and 'shut in'.

    Now you're on a different tack altogether. My daughter and sister in law are nurses and wear masks most of the day. Back in April they wore them for 12 hours a day. Yes, they had some skin issues from particular PPE but not from what we would refer to as surgical masks. People are generally not being asked to wear face coverings constantly for 12 hours per day .

    You're now equating full PPE for excessive periods in a medical setting with occasional face covering by the general public.

    So your daughter and sister in law represent all the front line workers..so if those two are fine...hey the rest should get no reaction !!!..thats like saying .ur two never got the flu in their life...so rest of human population won't get it either .you should be in comedy 🀣

    HSE Daily Operations Update

    35 in hospital, increase of 2.
    4 confirmed cases in hospitals today - 2 in Beaumont, 1 in Portlaoise and 1 in St. James'.
    6 in ICU and 5 ventilated, increase of 1 in each, respectively.

    What I've heard from 1 Dublin hosptial is that some of those being admitted don't necessarily actually need to be in at all, that their stays are quite short. Also some testing postive with no symptoms and being kept for observation.

    Your the one trying to equate full ppe with simple masks people are now wearing to the shops and your sister being representative of the majority.

    Also you still haven't answered how people have been wearing masks daily for years in work don't suffer from the list of issues you gave.

    That doesn't even include people who have hobbies like woodworking especially woodturning who wear anything from a simple mask to a respirator mask on a regular basis and don't have any of the issues you listed,

    What’s the general turnaround from test to results these days?

    I know someone who was booked in for a test on the Wednesday morning, got tested Friday afternoon and had the results text to them at 10.30 Monday night. That was a week ago.
    Dublin seems to be very quick, quite slow in other areas.

    I had two kids tested today and was told 48 hours. Most people I know seem to be 24 to 48 hours

    I rang for a test for them at 10 yesterday morning and got a text at 7 this morning to have them there for 10am today

    Mate had to get tested two weeks ago. Called their doctor first thing Friday morning, had the test at one the same day in Slane and got the results on Saturday by text.

    Is it faster/slower depending on where you are in the country? Are the increasing cases making results come back slower due to the higher volume of tests?

    My housemate rang the GP, got tested within a few hours and got the result the next day, all within 24 hours. Though that's Galway, I can't speak for other parts of the country.

    Why do we even have to go through a GP though? In the UK you just rock up to a drive through test centre any time you want. Result within 24 hours. Could go every week if you had a mind to.

    I don't know, but that's what happened to him in any case.

    Doctors get paid for every referral here
    In the UK they wouldn't get paid anything

    I'll take myself to the conspiracy thread...

    No wonder they won't see anyone, they get paid not to. Explains the lack of due diligence with referrals.

    You seem to have the worst luck and experience with everything, because plenty of people can get to see their doctor for other issues.

    Also if you don't need a referral for a test as per what the poster said about the UK you have the opportunity for more people to be tested, but then again not everyone complains that the number of people being tested is to high and that people are being charged for the assessment when it's not the case even if your not referred for a test.
    https://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showpost.php?p=114361109&postcount=7152

    As for referral for testing plenty of people still don't get referred if they don't meet the criteria, as in my mates case his missus didn't qualify for testing when talking to the doctor.

    I wonder if all the kids who needed to be spaced out on school transport got their x4 the amount of buses they were looking for. I wonder what that's going to do to the traffic around the place.

    What is the guidance for siblings of a child who has slight temperature and feeling unwell? They all go to same school. Assume have to keep them all home?

    That's very vague, if you have reason to believe it's covid probably best err on the side of caution. Is it 38 or above? What's the other symptoms?

    From what the GPs they've been rolling out have said, just the child who may be ill and the care giver. Contact you own GP would be my move.

    Stop digging. You are the one who was trying to equate the impact of long term wearing full medical PPE with occasional wearing of face coverings by the general public. You are also the one who cited one anecdote from a relative as representing all mask wearers.

    The rest of that post makes absolutely no sense.

    This damned virus has made the world very boring.

    I think history will show that we responded well initially but then made a complete bags of it.

    Can I get a private test if I want to (clearly only if I have symptoms - I wouldn't do it for the craic) or is the only choice being referred through your doctor and then through the public system?
