    Wife got the same thing just last week, although waiting on the colposcopy to confirm the state. 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.

    Sister-in-law just had emergency surgery last month for the same thing. The at-risk score had exploded from a slightly-dangerous number to something huge in the space of about a month of waiting for the surgery.

    What crazy person would expose their kid to growing up to those risks.
    Pregnancy can accelerate it. My friend had been checked a year before falling pregnant, at the six week check it was discovered it was stage three. She got treatment and is fine. Was 20 years ago now

    How about Jbravado when he tests negative and admits his symptoms didn't include fever or cough?
    I really have no idea what you are meaning about me???

                      So good.

                      There was a doc who posted a video yesterday and he basically said the WHO were scolding the UK in their own diplomatic way.

                      That there is "My god, you idiots"
                      This may or may not be an original thought of my own.
                      All efforts were made to make this thought original but with the abundance of thoughts in the world the originality of this thought cannot be guaranteed.

                        How the hell can they continue with contract tracing when it hits 10k, as predicted by month end.

                        At what stage do they stop testing ?

                                            I was reading about Germany's response (because I assume they are doing it right) and in the first article I read about things closing in Berlin brothels was the third thing mentioned.

The speech appealing to all retired doctors, nurses and health professionals along with student nurses/doctors to come forward and work as they are needed was a little spinetingling. The guy even used the phrase, your country needs you.

                                                  Not the best food region of France though imo. Which reminds me If I order food off somewhere like this, what are the odds on it actually making it here at present?

                                                          I was reading about Germany's response (because I assume they are doing it right) and in the first article I read about things closing in Berlin brothels was the third thing mentioned.
                                                          I have never been anti vax. I am the exact opposite. I did state a few years ago that I was not letting my eldest get the 3rd part of the HPV vaccine, but that was nothing to do do with my opinion. She took a terrible reaction to it because of her Long QT Syndrome and the Drs agreed it was too dangerous to give the last part. I was called away from college as she was so bad.

                                                          All my kids have had every vaccination they have been due. So other than the above story, I have never ever said I was anti vax.


                                                          Here is what I said before at the time...

                                                          She isn't allowed to get it, it wasn't my decision. It was deemed dangerous to her because of her heart condition and because she is not allowed certain drugs which would be needed with a severe reaction.

                                                          So I am not stupid...

                                                          I actually think that I said in the very first post I mentioned it that she was not allowed to get it. The medical staff who were at school administering it called me as they were terrified with the way she reacted to the second one. The deemed it not safe to go further.

                                                          Actually just noticed the last bit. Cardiologists are FAR from idiots... but if you fancy a walk to Crumlin and check with Terry Prendeville and tell him your thoughts work away

                                                          This is from a Government site

                                                          "Is there anyone who should not get an HPV vaccine?

                                                          Some people should not get the HPV vaccine or should wait.

                                                          Anyone who has ever had a life-threatening allergic reaction to any component of HPV vaccine, or to a previous dose of HPV vaccine, should not get the vaccine.
                                                          If you or your child is considering receiving Gardasil 9 or Gardasil, tell your doctor about any severe allergies, including an allergy to yeast.
                                                          If you or your child is considering receiving Cervarix, tell your doctor about any severe allergies, including an allergy to latex.
                                                          HPV vaccine is not recommended for pregnant women. However, receiving HPV vaccine when pregnant is not cause for alarm. Women who are breastfeeding may get the vaccine.
                                                          People who are mildly ill (low-grade fever of less than 101 degrees, a cold, runny nose, or cough) when a dose of HPV vaccine is planned can still be vaccinated. People with a moderate or severe illness should wait until they are better."

                                                              I thought a bigger increase but in effect we won't see the increase from broader testing measures for another couple of days.

                                                              15k cases sounds very high relative to other countries, I hope we don't reach that as we'll be under significant pressure then.

                                                                                                      As soon as you see those countries following suit, it makes you wonder if there is some validity to the approach.

                                                                                                      The lead Swedish epidemiologist has criticised some other Scandinavian countries for closing borders. To date, there are no closures of schools or organised children's sport.

Real blast from the past. Is there one book someone out of the game a decade should read? I think I'll be playing a fair bit the next few weeks!
                                                                                                          I'd say watch some of the streams, varying degrees of ability but you will see the current trends very quickly and as someone isnt saying this is why I'm doing this you will have to think about it yourself a bit which is good.

To see a beautiful place go like this tough. We are still all being paid, I am only working days till the end of the month, we are taking turns.

                                                                                                            It really is weird when we go in, I am the only one really busy as the finances still have to be done and are very important now. I can't imagine how the owner is coping since we have an English Language school as well as two other hotels. The school had to close last week as per government guidelines and we are down to the few guests that haven't managed to get a flight home yet.

                                                                                                            Worried financially obviously as I doubt we will get paid all the way through this, rents are to be paid etc and life has to continue.

                                                                                                            To top it off, I got the procedure on my hip 10 days ago and it didn't work. Still in pain after having a fall at ballet class 3 years ago. And the Electrophysiologist is wanting me to get a ILR (Loop recorder) inserted into my heart as I said yes to the "Do you ever still get palpatations?" questions.

                                                                                                            I know it isn't huge surgery, but still scary. I might wait to see how this pandemic plays out!

                                                                                                            I had Pneumonia as a child, have hypertension and Long QT. I am terrified of catching this as I am high risk, Lucie is as well with her heart.

                                                                                                            Tough times all!

                                                                                                            I hope you are ok Eoghan, must be tough. Did you get the all-clear Jbravado?

                                                                                                            It takes 7 hours for results here after testing. Had a guest with a child with a temp and a cough. Had to keep it quiet and them in quarantine till the guys came and tested her. It was all fine though thankfully or I was in the hotel for 2 weeks on lockdown!
