How old is your son? Does he have any other underlying condition? Statistically kids recover from covid19 well, nothing to worry about.Looking for some advice as I'm not sure how to go about things.
My son's got a few of the symptoms currently and I've had a few symptoms for the last few days too. 111 told the missus earlier to keep him self isolated for the next 7 days and that's pretty much it unless he gets a severe fever or more. The problem for us is we have no idea if it's the virus or a completely standard cold where we're just over thinking it because of everything going on, which we may be. To be safe though we're keeping our son off school all week like 111 told is to and at home.
My issue is that I'm supposed to be at work all week. For all I know I have a standard cold, the problem is, do I go into work and risk it? Tbh I want to be at home this week with the missus and kids to look after them, I can't really afford to though. I work in a Warehouse so no chance of working from home and I can't afford to just say feck it, I'll take the week off. I'm caught in the middle of needing the money but also needing to support for son while he's not well but also be careful just in case I do have it, and without testing, how the feck am I supposed to know if I do? It's just a case of be safe and self isolate...but if I do that I'm expected to.lose 500+ quid this week? How the feck am I supposed to survive and support my family losing that amount of money?
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK554776/There is no guarantee that you will be one of those people who do not need treatment. COVID-19 is accompanied by serious respiratory (breathing) problems and that often requires hospitalization as opposed to "just flu". What is your "most people will not" claim based on? Do you have any data to back it up? It was anecdotal bullshit some people were spreading early on (in the days of "it's just like flu"), but does actually data support your claim? The crisis in Italy indicates the opposite of what you are claiming.
Not sure i get the angle of your question. If you're testing those with symptoms of course you'll get some negatives but what i was specifically referring to was the benefit of positive results in non critical cases. You know once they've tested positive and done quarantine that they're good to rejoin the workforce (within a minute margin of error) and if it gets bad volunteering for care positions.
I can certainly understand why there isn't capacity to do this right now if there's a shortage in equipment though. Hopefully we can address that.
But you are making out that if you do get the virus, you will require hospital treatment.There is no guarantee that you will be one of those people who do not need treatment.

Theres a petition to close the schools tomorow, parents and the like have had enough and the unions are on the verge of stepping.
If Ireland somehow deals with this and NI take on huge casualties then Unionism is dead. It will show the need to both to work together and Arlene will be the one kicking it along yet again.
Her parotting Boris about listening to science was embarassing, she'll only copy what London is doing and pretend otherwise
The document also states that:
- The health service cannot cope with the sheer number of people with symptoms who need to be tested because laboratories are “under significant demand pressures”.
- From now on only the very seriously ill who are already in hospital and people in care homes and prisons where the coronavirus has been detected will get tested.
- Testing services are under such strain that even NHS staff will not be swabbed, despite their key role and the risk of them passing the virus on to patients."

No, my question is how many times do you intend to test people that do not have symptoms? Being negative today doesn't mean that you will be in a month.
It’s fecking obvious why we are taking a different approach to the rest of Europe.
When the dust settles on this, if they have got it wrong there needs to be a full inquiry and account needs to be held.

Exactly what it is. Someone who didn't get what they want using this virus to try get their views across. Absolute areswipe of a person.What does this mean? Please tell me this isn’t Post-brexit position jostling...?
My feeling is that the UK will start to follow the consensus soon. If you were a political strategist you’d be advising that. If the UK went it’s own way and got it wrong it would finish Boris’s government.

With the stakes at play, it would be the end of the conservative party (until they rebrand as something else).
Another Iraq Inquiry.So government can spend 10 years and lots of millions writing a report that by the time it comes out all the people responsible will be out of office and unaccountable.
You can go to work, can’t you? You just can’t do anything elseWhat I don't understand is how the feck are people supposed to pay rent / mortgages / gas / leccy if none of us can goto work?

This will soon be clarified on an European level, as that rumour is everywhere.

Our "lockdown" would consist of the guards saying "Do ye not have any homes to be goin' ta? Mon' ta feck." before driving off.While anything is possible, I think the Irish army out patrolling the streets tomorrow is prooooooobably not on the cards since the government can't even stop eejits jumping off Blackrock in Salthill during hurricanes.

Neh they’d find a way to blame someone else.With the stakes at play, it would be the end of the conservative party (until they rebrand as something else).
