    If you are following the advice you have to self isolate and call your doctor when you have a cough.

    That's not what the advice says, it says if there is no obvious reason you have a cough, you've a cold there's your obvious reason.

    She's just messaged me that she's not going to shop now and is ringing doctor from her car.

    FFS we had to go through a huge row and all that stress for her to do the right thing.

    https://www2.hse.ie/conditions/coronavirus/symptoms.html

    "If you have any common symptoms of coronavirus (COVID-19), you should self-isolate and phone your GP straight away to get a coronavirus test.

    Common symptoms of coronavirus include:

    a fever (high temperature - 38 degrees Celsius or above)
    a cough - this can be any kind of cough, not just dry
    shortness of breath or breathing difficulties
    loss or change to your sense of smell or taste – this means you've noticed you cannot smell or taste anything, or things smell or taste different to normal
    It can take up to 14 days for symptoms to show. They can be similar to symptoms of cold and flu.

    Getting an early diagnosis from your GP means you can get the help you need and take steps to avoid spreading the virus, if you have it."

    Did anyone in the house have the sniffles, one of the kids, she's going to kick your ass when it turns out to be a cold. She can still go to the shop she doesn't need to come home empty handed.

    Yeh we all caught it from creche going child.

    It's not the result that matters it's doing the right thing to stop the spread of the virus. Leave it to the qualified medical people to make the decisions.

    I messaged her earlier if she needed anything as I did a online shop to be delivered later.

    You've imposed your vision of what you think the right thing to do is, the guidelines are there from the medical professionals. She can go to the shops even when she's isolating.

    The rest of the country seems relatively stable at 60-80 cases per day. Dublin really driving the figures now.

    This..same as yesterday and day before , why are you stating the obvious?

    When cases start to settle in Dublin they will eventually start to rise in other cities with largish populations ..or do you think the virus cares whether you are from Dublin or Galway or Cork?

    When did you get your MD?

    Are you as certain about this as your claims that the supply chain was about to collapse and the army was going to be on the streets in March?

    The only thing that is rising and dropping is the amount we test. The virus is on a very sharp downward trend, it never fluctuated as we perceived it.
    The amount of people dying is just about nil.

    Was the creche closed now? And then they said kids don't spread, very conflicting information, take care

    I'm 99% sure he's right but he doesn't get that it's different times now and the possibility of having Covid has to be eliminated when people have symptoms.

    Indeed. The virus was pushed into Dublin from Kildare a few weeks back with those storms. Coincides with the start of the rise in cases in Dublin and the decline in Kildare. It is an airborne virus.

    My daughter's school have reduced the number of desks in each class room and have 100 girls rotating in

    3) Ditto with the HSE and extra resources. From what I can see they have very little to show for their six months. The Swedes pay a lot more tax than we do but they at least get something from it.

    But that's the only lesson you can take from Sweden?? Get our health system like theirs.
    This is why I challenged you, I don't think you are open to an alternative view.

    I think I'd like to get our NPHET like theirs!

    Obviously it isn't the only thing we can learn from Sweden. But I'd wary of painting Sweden as "a success" - Sweden haven't done well.

    Compared to all of their Scandinavian neighbours, the most comparable examples, they've a lot more dead people and an equally thrashed economy. And this isn't over, we won't know until the dust settles, whenever that may be, who took the right approach.

    Also, due to the difference in living arrangements - over 50% of Swedes live alone, which is completely unlike ourselves - and due to cultural habits, the approach they took may have a totally different set of outcomes if transferred elsewhere.

    Okay, at the moment our incidence rate is higher than Sweden, but what's their level of testing compared to us? We do test a lot more than they do as far as I am aware. Also how do they register deaths related to Covid? It's hard to draw direct comparison without truly knowing how the figures are calculated.

    No just think you've bullied her and caused a row by misinterpreting the health advice. You have an obvious explanation for your symptoms so a test isn't necessary.
    Here look you'll have to deal with her not me, best of luck convincing her to get a test for the next cold.
    We had the same thing in this house only the other way round. I went to Holland and Barret she went for a Covid test.
    It all started with a sniffly 2yr old who wasn't kicked out of creche.

    Took my son to out of hours Doc on Sunday. He was happy that it was a cold.

    Maybe he should have been tested as he had and still has a cough.

    Everyone else in the house has picked it up over the course of the week.

    Don't mean to be offensive but it seems to me that you lack subtlety of thought if you think it's all about whether a test was positive or not.

    The test and isolation was justified in the situation we are in now. You should have done the same.

    Seems to be up to each college. I know some are fully online. My brother is in DIT and they've not been told yet, the latest suggestion a few weeks back was they'd have to wait until timetables were finalised along with class sizes to see what lectures would be in person and what would be online.

    Due to return in 2 or 3 weeks I think it is.

    Yes apart from 1st years DIT and DCU back around the third week in September.

    All concentrating on one or two days a week I heard but this may be more online for anyone not in Dublin.
    Noone we know are getting accommodation except for 1st years , if they are from the country ..they just don't know what is happening, but in fairness I would say the colleges have to wait to see what happens in the next fortnight.

    Developed sinus-asthma, slight fever, symptoms by late Monday, whereupon I emailed GP. Own senior partner doctor away, so new doctor, whom I never met, phoned Tuesday. Told me to take Amoxicillin he prescribed via email to chemist, told me to go out and about as normal, just not to parties.

    Got much worse over the days, sharp chest pains, fever etc this morning, emailed GP again, senior man who knows me well back on duty and arranged "urgent test".

    Just now got text to inform appointment is Sunday evening. It will be interesting to find out how quick result is, and of course if I've picked up a Ovid or some other peculiar thing in spite of my almost paranoid wearing of medical masks, carrying hand gel in belt and using it obsessively. Only "risk taking" was coffee and eating meals in a hotel last week in Kilkenny/Carlow whereupon, of course, mask was removed, but always socially distanced.

    I'm just looking at the evidence..

    You think it's a cold
    Your doctor said the child has a cold
    Your ex thinks it's a cold

    You don't meet the criteria sorry to disappoint. I'd be getting in the supplements and clough syrup to get the house back to health asap.
