Same, good to hear of the Mrs. Egg improving.
Other news: God help me but i'm feeling sorry for Simon Harris, even though he's Fine Gael.
Yeah, thankfully the HSE changed the testing criteria. Still annoyed that having been sick, and quarantined, for two full weeks I have no idea if I have had Covid-19 or not because to have been tested I'd have to have been at death's door.
Unless Aer Lingus cancel the flight you may not be entitled to a refund. Worth holding out as long as possible but the vouchers may turn out to be the best offer...
Under EU regulations airlines must offer passengers the choice of Refund, Re-routing at the earliest time or re-routing at a later date IF the airline cancels the flights (regardless of why the flights are cancelled). But if a passenger chooses to cancel their reservation, or fails to show up for their flight, then the most they may be entitled to from the airline is a refund of airport charges.

TUBS HAS IT
I think you need to adjust your expectations and think about at least 8-10 weeks. I imagine we will keep going as we are with some relaxing of rules - more retailers allowed to do online ordering or click and collect. It won't be a sudden end, the estimates are 6-18 months to get back to "normal life" from what I've seen.So assuming social distancing works and cases start to drop, what actually happens in about 2 weeks? or 4 weeks or 6 weeks or whatever? Where do we go from here?
When was Cheltnam? or the sunny few days where the beeches, forests and parks were jammers? Two weeks from those dates we might see a spike.
they literally said signs are promising.I've been feeling confident for the last few days about the numbers (i.e. it's not increasing exponentially) but now I'm worried that it's because they haven't tested anything like the numbers that need to be tested and the virus is rampagaing all over the place out of control and we/they have no idea where it is.
Someone persuade me that there's reason to be optimistic ...
But there must be numbers out there (can't find them) about the level of testing that is being done here per head of population compared to other countries? I'm guessing it's a lot better than the UK but nowhere nearly as good as Germany ...
Thanks all.
It's not so much the increased restrictions that concern me (it's actually really encouraging to me when that happens as it shows we are possibly taking extreme measures before they are absolutely necessary and before things reach absolute crisis point) but the testing thing. A testing centre was temporarily closed down in Cork at the weekend because of lack of equipment. Anecdotal evidence would suggest that it is taking an inordinately long time to get tested (even before they changed the rules). If you don't test enough of the population then you don't really know what's going on and you can do all the data modelling you like, but if the data you are basing your modelling on is flawed then it's meaningless (and I know they are ways of statisticially accounting for error and so on).

Not bashing the HSE here by the way ... I know they are working flat out on this.
But having said all that ... yes, there are reasons to be optimistic. Thanks.
Have a pained tooth, and my dentist is understandably not taking appointments unless patient pain is excruciating, which it isn't, but he very soundly prescribed me an antiobiotic over email.
but this means I know cannot drink during this national worry...
