Just to put some perspective on this from my girlfriends side

An ex colleague of hers who left last month almost defiantly has it at the moment, but hasn’t been tested
The reason he has it is that his new boss got it and was tested positive
A current colleague of my girlfriend almost defiantly has it
The reason she has it is that 4 people in her husbands office have tested positive for it

So either she’s unlucky and has connection to a sizeable %age of the cases in the country OR the number who have it is way bigger than we are lead to believe

Heat maps and all this stuff don’t matter a damn. In the next few days the numbers will be huge

There were 4 within 2kms of me 2 weeks ago
2 of them are home now and fully recovered
One is a dairy farmer
Doubtless there are many more now and growing, so the chances of this virus hitting vulnerable people we all know is rising
And by vulnerable, I mean old or immunocompromised like diabetes or asthma or cancer patients and more
We will see some of them dying before their time,maybe 100's

Coronavirus, would you believe?

The demand on the servers is huge at times and, when demand spikes, the servers can't wholly cope and throws up the opening threads in different forums.

F5/refresh usually cures it but it might take a few goes.

I'd say its rampant atm just some people aren't sure if they have it. I've a dirty head cold since dec and still with me. Blasted thing keeps coming and going. For all I know I could have a very mild case of it unknown to myself. I'd say going forward itll be a case if prioritising patients and letting people like myself fight it at home

TBH if I was paying a subscription I'd agree with you but I don't and neither do you, so maybe back off on the criticism a little.

We run the jester on a timer when we’re feeding. Works well.

I’d wonder more about volume, 10l May be a bit tight.

I remember being in a pub in Hollymount Mayo back in the 80's which was famous for its lock ins - at 3am the slightly jarred landlord announced " Have ye no Homosexuals to go to??":pac:

Like everything else, it costs money, big money, to increase access capacity. And there are more urgent problems to deal with as regards upgrading software, tbh.

Just to get an idea of the increase in demand, click onto the social and fun tab on laptop. AH and CA used to have 800 or 900 people in total viewing whenever I checked it and they were the biggest forums on here. I looked today and the new Coronavirus forum had over 2k viewing and another 500 or 600 hundred on AH and CA.

Apologies for the shortfall but demand is absolutely manic these days.
