    Obviously, there's no justification for what happened at the Oliver Bond flats. However, it probably wouldn't have happened at all if the 'wet pubs' and the nightclubs had been allowed to re-open weeks ago.

    The ravers and organisers of same in OB and Meath should be fined / punished

    Absolutely . During lockdown I would go twice a day for a walk around our estate . I had to stop going past the junior school and take another route. The eerie silence and closed blinds actually upset me too much

    That and the restraining order :pac:

    It would have happened indoors instead.

    Most likely split between multiple flats in the complex but the little scores would have still have held post pub/nightclub parties. Corporal punishment is the only answer really.

    Should be an easy enough whatsapp/facebook trail to follow

    A bit like the Arab Spring protests in Egypt

    I had the worst "flu" I ever had on the 24th December. 6 days clung to the bed, hard to breath choking cough, temperature and couldn't walk to the bathroom unaided. Another week on the couch and about 2 more weeks before I felt back to normal and I'd be reasonably fit/active.
    Guy working in the shop for us a week before, got a pretty bad respiratory illness, he still has problems from it. He asked the doctor recently was it Covid and he said possibly as they diagnosed clotting of the lungs but it the cause was inconclusive as he isn't someone who you would associate with clotting (he's very healthy, fit and doesn't smoke)

    It would definitely be interesting if they could go back and test samples pre March.

    One distinguishing feature of Influenza is how suddenly it strikes you. In my experience of having had it about 5 times in my 59 years is waking up in the morning with an almost imperceptible throat/tracheal soreness, going out and three hours later being very ill with shaking chills, bone pains, weakness, headache, and initially some nausea or vomiting. Almost coming full on from the outset. Bacterial lobar pneumonia can strike just like that too, with bloody sputum as well. Most other cold-like viruses/chest infections develop mildly or to moderate severity over days. I believe Covid develops relatively gradually and sometimes in an on-off kind of way, from what I've read.

    Just seen on sky news the Welsh and Scottish governments announcing restrictions so while the UK government aren’t saying anything yet it’s clear that the constituent parts of the UK are moving ahead.

    That's my understanding too, with covid. Feeling a bit off for a couple of days, then it floors you.

    The only time I had flu was the swine variant of 2009. Hit fast and 48 hours of curled up in a ball. Never once did I think of getting help. Pure survival mode.

    Is the UK level system the same as Ireland's?

    As I only meet one friend these days, it was a hard call. Had to throw out the jeans. All for the good of the public though.

    Paid a lot for those jeans too.

    I got a terrible flu in the really hot weather in 2018, it absolutely knocked me out for about a week. The second week I spent staggering around in a haze and had a terrible cough for about three weeks afterwards.

    I suffer from time to time with asthma anyways so it really knocked me for six, I've barely any recollection of that week apart from being in and out of fever induced sleep for the most of it.

    And some people say they have "a bit of the flu".

    Nah.

    Made the same mistake. Government miscommunication totally to blame for the absolute bloodbath. I'm no fan of Varadkar or Harris but at least under their leadership I never cut any bodies in half. It's a small but probably important thing.

    Donegal looks in bother, I'd say they might be staring down the barrel of restrictions tbh.
