Affluent, I'd have to say yes (albeit a constituency which returned a Labour MP .... oh the shame!).

Yep, I don't sense much appetite for new faces taking over right now, even from those who hate Fine Gael (which includes me to a certain extent). Feck walking straight into this nightmare.
I shink sho .. yes.
What risk?
Do I actively try and catch it in that time then? I have also looked into the dangers but can’t really see what I need to read, is she at an extended risk of getting seriously ill? Is the unborn baby?
China did not isolate itself, they let flights come and go for a while. Or do we ignore that?
The risk of getting corona Virus or spreading it to anyone else bit selfish don’t you think?
I would understand if he talks like that without mentioning China.
But praising China and Ji in this context like that, he seems bought/corrupt to me. But what do i know, just my first impression.
This. Also Erdogan helping.
Wouldn't be surprised if China is playing some next-level geopolitics behind the scenes. We'll help you with corona and you'll help us with other things.
Ban them for assuming my interpretation of 'him'.
Tried to avoid the news all day but tuned into Varadkar and made myself more miserable. Talking to my parents afterwards just infuriated me. I was telling them me and my two brothers will start doing the shopping etc for them. It was like talking to a fecking wall. "We're not old, we'll go mad stuck inside the house." They're both 60, smoked all their lives up until 2-3 years ago and he has a heart condition. It's just stubborn fecking idiocy.
As for the speech, maybe my paranoia is getting the better of me but it's hard not to think this is way more serious than initially thought with the way Varadkar spoke tonight.

So this comes from China, and now people look to them to be the saviours despite all the cover ups and shambolic nature of how they dealt with it at first. China saves the world from this, whilst Europe and America tear themselves apart.
It's like an actual Bond film

If you're talking about the risk of getting the virus myself - well that's up to me. I'm free to accept or avoid risk as I choose. If I could sign a form to opt out of NHS help should I get covid-19, I'd do so in a heartbeat.
If you're talking about the risk of transmitting it to someone else, I'd say all of the other people in the pub had accepted that risk. They were there because they'd decided that their desire for social intraction was greater than their concern over the virus. They were, so to speak, consenting adults. Of course, we were as careful as we wanted to be (no kissing, touching elbows etc...).
Sorry?, that one went over my head..
A ban on wet markets would be a good place to start for them.
On the first point, no. It's not worth the risk.
As for the rest of it: that's the kind of advice you should be getting from the NHS. Here's the current advice from the RCOG for your other half:
https://www.rcog.org.uk/en/guidelin...nancy/covid-19-virus-infection-and-pregnancy/
The government do list pregnant women in a relatively high risk category with respect to their isolation policy. They're not saying you have to stay away from her. But I it's made clear that she's more vulnerable than most:
* if one member of your family or household has a new continuous cough or high temperature
** if you live alone and you have a new continuous cough or high temperature
*** for example cinema, theatre, pubs, bars, restaurants, clubs
**** for example via telephone or internet
1 such as anyone instructed to get a flu jab each year

But most importantly, I think you should primarily take the advice of your missus' GP.

Vucic is kind of right, Europe cannot help. Europe is also right, they cannot help, cause they cannot help, they have no ability to help in this type of scenario.
And with very developed countries being in an awful situation, I don't even want to imagine how bad can this be in Serbia and the other Eastern European countries which have a much worse medical system than Italy and co.
China is emerging as the main superpower in this type of crisis. They already control most of the drugs in the world, and have the ability to make more, and increase their production of medical devices. Such an irony that a virus originating there it might easily help them economically and politically.
Ah man, R.I.P and exactly the type of person who should've been protected from this.
How often can you visit? And how absolutely confident are you in the ability of the others in the house to be utterly ruthless with the hygiene in there.
Props to Starkie tbf, the guy has provided us with the material for a joke with a decent shelf life. Hopefully we will remember him when next years Redcafe awards arrive.
My neighbor now has this and as a had a meeting last week with some people including him me and my family are now under house quarantine. For 14 days. Feck Disney+ for yanking that Frozen II shit out so soon, already watched it 3 times.. It's going to be a long fecking two weeks.
Do anyone know why Germany has such a low rate? They were certainly a lot calmer over there than here.
Even though the government advises otherwise, I have no words really for your ignorance.
But that’s the society we live in always compensating for others blatant self regard for the rules.
Hope you enjoyed your pint..
No-one can lay a finger on them, they're too powerful. They'll tell the planet to piss off.
Surprised so many thought that was a good speech from Leo.
It was all clichés and soundbites but nothing of substance. "Not all heroes wear capes" might get him a few laughs on twitter but it does nothing for those of us with businesses and staff we don't know what to tell.
This half in, half out lockdown is bollocks. They're letting the swell of public opinion and our own sense of morality do their job rather than make anything official that they might end up paying for. When we were paying for the banks they were fine to raise our rates and taxes, and they thought nothing of raising VAT earlier this year, but now we're staring down the barrel of the gun it's radio silence. The bars and clubs have clarity at least but the rest of us in the industry have nothing.

It's this kind of thing that can (understandably, in my opinion) breed conspiracy theories...
If China ends up seriously benefiting from this - after it came out of an area where they have a germ warfare lab / bio lab etc - @golden_blunder knows more about this than me - then you can hardly blame people for being suspicious.
Added to that they covered it up initially which essentially caused it's spread.
its like the planet has had enough of the worst of humanity, bringing it all to the surface for us to see and cleansing itself
My ignorance? I'm probably as well informed as most.
.. and yes, I very much enjoyed every one of my pints.
You’re not concerned with the impact your decision may ultimately make on already strained health services? Or the possibility you may subsequently end up transmitting the virus to somebody who wasn’t there?

I think someone said some countries have different guidelines for labeling a patient as critical, I just read an article that said Germany has about 500 hospitalized (did not mention ICU). They also just decided to close the borders today.
Your probably as well oiled than the most of us also.
Didn't the main whisteblower Doctor who was warning the World of the danger of this virus suddenly die...?
Where did you get these numbers from?
The more I think about it the more I realise China did this. We march tomorrow.
This.
It is like someone who is visually impaired still driving. Sure, it might all be right, and no one will get harmed, it is also not malicious, but you can kill someone doing so. People who are going out needlessly can literally kill other people, and it is all because of their selfishness.
