You sound like one of the people I described from a week ago, telling everyone it's just a bad cold, or we'll all get it anyway, or calling people idiots for using hand sanitisers etc. I hope you're not.

But just for you, I've gone and got you an article, can't find the other one i read which stated 6 hours, this experiment showed 3

Listen to this shíte on prime time. They can't tell the truth about the testing. They are saying everyone can have the testing. Bullsh1t. I know people who are at home with all the symptoms with days now and they are being told they don't need testing. I know of someone in a nursing home who was told no testing until they had developed pneumonia. I know for certain that nurses are being told in hospitals not to bother testing some people because they don't think there's any point and that it will take ages anyways. There's fcek all testing being done so how on Earth can they know about community transmission and therefore ensure these people don't spread it.

O'Callaghan is a disgrace. Minister giving important advice and clarifications but she's too desperate for attention to let him speak.

Agree totally. She's trying to ratchet up the drama. Good to see the experts keep their cool and not react to her. Appalling journalism

My mother was talking about TB in the 30's today, she knew one family that lost 7 children to the disease. Her neighbour a young woman also died. They were rough times. That was Ireland when we had nothing not even hope.


Today we have lots of resources to fight Covid and we have knowledge and lots of hope.

My parents got married in '56 and loved to tell the story of how they hopped on my Dad's motorbike to go to Tramore for their honeymoon but got turned back at the Cork/Waterford border due to a TB outbreak in Cork.
They ended up in Crosshaven - and to add to their misery my grandmother sent my Mother's two youngest sisters down so she wouldn't get lonely.

Whether the story is true or not I don't know but somehow I ended up with a natural immunity to TB.

My Dad's grandfather, G-Grandparents, and 7 grand aunts all died of TB in the Channel Isles in a 5 year period.

Oh My God....just watching the movie 'Contagion' (2011) featuring Matt Damon & Jude Law. Scary parallels with our current real virus situation.

Yes it's a Hollywood movie, and yes they've added a lot of artistic licence and needless drama, but it's a virus movie nonetheless, and it's scary, and it's thought provoking too!

CONTAGION.

I wouldn't be able to watch it.

Cheltenham is ****ing disgusting to be fair.

Snooze you lose. Should have been planning 3 weeks ago.

most pathetic cretin of a human for posting such a comment about an elderly lady out shopping...especially on such a momentous day as today in our society.

did that make you feel better about yourself?

are you the kind of person who watches action movies or plays games all day in your underwear, getting your adrenalin up, thinking you're the big hero and yet would probably baulk if someone said boo to you in real life?

disgusted.

It's a fair point... a lot of people will still think it's grand.

Look at the arguments every year when Good Friday rolled around, and that was only for a day.

This virus has extraordinary precision.

Hopefully the death rates follow the same trend. Could you post the same with deaths. I think it would be very interesting.

Was in bad taste alright. Just saw it and it looked like such a staged expose the “vulnerable” old lady while shes our minding her own business in a fake attempt to come across empathetic.

This may have been answered already. How did they estimate the 15 minute contact time?

Getting 33 euro back on flights that cost 210 with Aer Lingus.

73 euro on government taxes but there's a 20 euro refund fee on each way.

Even easyJet are waiving all change fees, existing or new. It's a really bad look for Aer Lingus imo that they're really offering nothing.

Agent was quite helpful tbf, but hamstrung by management

Often spoke with my grandfather about tb etc.
Ireland was a sh€&hole up until about the 1970s.
Death was normalised then.
The last 40 or so years we have been very privileged

I was going out tonight - what was the answer?

Damn clubs are all shutting down

So I'm hearing that Boots+Lloyds messed up ordering from pharmaceutical wholesalers by ordering over the counter medications resulting in prescription medications not been abled to be delivered. Scandalous.

I can change my current flights with Aer Lingus free of charge.

Why not just change instead of cancelling?
