Coronavirus: Better Call Sol - CORONAMANIA (2 Viewers)

[7 - No tomorrow]

Paddy's day is cancelled

I say we burn down all the Carroll's shops while we're at it

Only way to be sure

...and Patty's day parade in Dublin is cancelled.

I was thinking about this. I bet if it's still around in July the parades will still go ahead on the 12th

The dollar's getting cheaper
They must expect it to rebound.

(I am choosing to think positively on this)

Well in our case our main supplier is in Wisconsin so we're always going to be paying for stuff in dollars, euro has been weakening for the past 2 years and it's back to what it was worth last June so when the world comes out of the far side of this it'll probably have been worth doing.

Unless the whole thing goes to shit, in which case it won't matter at all.

I never saw that one

You poor thing. Get well soon. Could you be swabbed by the mobile ambulance thing?

I'm still ill. Waiting for advice from my GP. I think at this stage I want to be tested so I can be certain one way or the other, not just for me but for the sake of my family and my employers and colleagues.

Best of luck Squiggle, I really hope you feel better soon. Sounds like a smart move to get tested now for sure! Let us know how you get on xx

The Government is to introduce emergency legislation in the Dáil to amend the rules on sick pay, which will see Illness Benefit rise from €203 per week to €305.

It will be available from the first day of illness rather than after six days as at present, and conditionality will be waived to allow the self employed to receive it.

There will be no minimum number of PRSI contributions, but medical certification will be required.

The Taoiseach said the objective was to ensure that workers would not be afraid to self-isolate on financial grounds.

There's the ann post blood boiling sound again.

Disability Benefit (permanent) is also 203eu, which is what people in Ireland are supposed to live on their whole lives. One little pandemic and all of sudden 100eu can be magicked up because god forbid normal people would have to live on that amount of money, there would be outrage. DFI have been running campaigns for years on the right to dignity (i.e. disability not being equatable to poverty). Factually I didn't have to pay property tax for years because disability was less than a valid income. But even the thought of a 'normal' person having to live on that much seems to be so unacceptable they aren't really even willing to entertain the idea of it.

All the rage emojiis sign off.

Thanks. GP got back to me, the criteria for "qualifying" for testing hasn't changed which means I can't be. He said he has had a large number of people reporting similar symptoms that also don't meet the current HSE guidelines for testing, so no peace of mind. Heading into week two.

I have a double edged strategy
- Only poo at work
- Steal toilet roll from work

can you catch covid 19 through smelling an infected fart?

Can I catch COVID-19 from the feces of someone with the disease?
The risk of catching COVID-19 from the feces of an infected person appears to be low. While initial investigations suggest the virus may be present in feces in some cases, spread through this route is not a main feature of the outbreak. WHO is assessing ongoing research on the ways COVID-19 is spread and will continue to share new findings. Because this is a risk, however, it is another reason to clean hands regularly, after using the bathroom and before eating.

Dunno but I was definitely exposed a number of farts at shops today
