Coronavirus - Remain Calm. Do Not Panic

We didn't agree to disagree

You agreed to continue to be wrong

Nobody has been able to point out any hypocrisy at all in my position, because there is none - my position is nuanced and full of common sense

Where I have the problem is in the lack of leadership and governance from the government and certain civil society organisations like the GAA, and the disinformation peddlers

You're doing the exact thing the right wing in the US do which is to blame ordinary people when they are not the people to blame 

Responsibility lies with those tasked with policy making and example setting

I said we better leave it which to you is the same thing as me agreeing on being wrong 

Okay so there we have it individual citizens have absolutely no civic responsibility because the government isn't providing leadership.  

Both the Government and its citizens have responsibility to the rest of society. It's not one or the other. 

This isn't peer reviewed yet and people might question the data but basically it's the kind of study I'm interested in.

Our 14 year old had one, negative result. He hated the experience but he likes to make a meal of every little thing.

Sister in law and husband had it as did one of the kids. The two other kids tested negative in 3 separate tests each. Only the husband reported main symtoms (loss of taste) sister in law said thinks she felt a little ill for a few hours but was like mildest flu ever.  

Haven’t had it myself, out of our group of friends a good few have, with 2 (a husband and wife) positive back in April. Both were quite sick at the time. 

My own wife has had 2, she’s a nurse and thankfully both negative 

I’m just jealous of the non league football, pints & fancy cuts of meats! 

My girlfriend has been tested 4 times and all came back negative even though she did develop most of the symptoms after being a close contact to a patient, who had come back positive, so it was probably just a head cold or whatever.
