    I guess once you go anti vax you can never go back. It's almost impossible to prove a negative. A million other people could have no issue with it but that can't make someone change their mind about what they think is a linked case.

      currently work there dont want to go near the place.
      last place to close if at all?
      or likely?
      Dublin airport have been tweeting that they are staying open as normal except the airport bars are closed. Doesnt make sense to me to close pubs but keep flights operating but here we are

        S&P to drop further than 7% on opening, perhaps hit the second trigger at 14%?

          see the chaos in the US airports for what happens if you suddenly close borders

My work announced on Facebook that its business as usual except orders to be collected have to be called in in advance and reps can only go to site by appointment only. Whereas the drivers continue delivering to site as normal I genuinely think it will take one of us to actually get it before they close.
                  Restaurants definitely will be next but it seems from Coveney’s comments today that may not happen for a few days. There is clearly a much better chance in a restaurant to remove tables and restrict capacity than a pub. The government have been really impressive in how they so clearly and calmly communicated in recent days, unfortunately it doesn’t help to quell the WhatsApp rubbish. Amazed at some of the previously rational contacts sending me ‘lockdown imminent’ messages in recent days.

                    I was chatting to a nurse who is based more on the management side of things last night.

                    They mentioned they're under significant pressure especially in paediatrics from an increase in Influenza cases at the minute.

                    The increase in confirmed cases for that is causing a significant upsurge in calls that they previously would never receive.

                      Just found there is a pub in Ballyer open too.

                        I would hope that our government is preparing for a lockdown scenario if they decide they need it. Whether they implement it is another thing. We know our health system won't be able to cope unless we seriously flatten the curve, the question is how much impact can we tolerate? Overreacting as bad as underreacting imo.

                                  Some family members working on one at the minute. They're looking to get it done asap.

                                  Bosses had lofty aims of last Saturday but resigned to it not happening.
                                  Thankfully there was no plans to use it over the weekend anyway. They're hopeful it'll be ready to go on Wednesday.

Shouldn't be too much of a risk at this stage as she had full check five years ago and seemingly its ridiculously unusual for it to progress to something dangerous within five years. HPV also.
                                      Yeah Doc explained how slow moving it was. That they’d probably just observe over time. But colposcopy results indicated it was further on and was better to act now. 4 weeks till results, should be 2 apparently, but everything is pushed out with Coronavirus overload.

                                          Pleasingly tetchy as well, can't wait to see what it'd be like by day 4 of any actual lockdown.

Some choice topics today, elderberries vs corona, homeopathic dentistry, 5G is still killing us - it's radiation messes with your DNA, you need to start wearing shungite stones and place them around your homes. Good sources are derided, bad sources are lauded.

On that note, here is a cool game about fake news, supposed to actually help people discern between it and accurate information. https://www.getbadnews.com/#intro

Ryanair have also grounded most of their fleet so I'd guess, depending on your specific job, that you may be finished sooner rather than later.

                                                                                The fucking drama this morning.

                                                                                Got out of bed just after 10 and hit the shower. Was only out of the shower when the 'aul lads home care team rang. The carer could get in as there was no answer and he was worried as my Dad told him yesterday that he had fallen the day before (obviously Dad doesn't tell me this despite talking to him every day)

                                                                                I rang him and no answer. I wait a minute and ring again as sometimes he's slow to get the phone out of his pocket, still no answer.

                                                                                I now get dressed in seconds and break the land speed record doing Ranelagh to Coolock in about 13 minutes, thankfully there was fuck all traffic on the roads. I ring Dad from the car three more times on the way and still no answer.

                                                                                I've convinced myself that I'm going into the house to find his dead body on the ground. I charge into the house calling him and he appears at the top if the stairs 'What's wrong, what are you shouting for?'

                                                                                I swear to Jaysus, I don't know how I didn't fucking kill him.

                                                                                I let rip at him and I reckon I gave him as much of a fright as he gave me, but I'm not counting it as being equal.

                                                                                He tried to say he'd gone for a walk around the block and left his mobile at home, which is horseshit as why wouod he leave the house when the carer is due to call in and why hadn't he noticed the missed calls on his phone on getting back.

                                                                                I asked him about the fall he had but it was no longer a fall. He apparently fell asleep on the couch and slide off it and woke up on the floor, I shit you not.

                                                                                I went off and got spare keys cut and a key safe box so if it happens again, the carers can gain access there and then.

                                                                                When I got back, I sat him down and told he needs to tell me if he's not alright at the minute but he was adamant that nothing was wrong, he's so fucking stubborn.

                                                                                It must have taken me about an hour before I stopped shaking. Old age is a fucking cunt and the swapping of the parent /child roles is bloody scary.

More so trying to socially responsible insofar as anyone who does reports smptoms does so genuinely and not a cheat guide of how to fast track testing. I'm sure it was said in jest but this thing has the capacity to go one way or the other and hopefully it will fall on the side of human kindness and love, not the other.

                                                                                                          "May our words be freinds"

                                                                                                          Think that applies equally to how we speak and treat not just others but also ourselves in this stressful time.
