So my daughter is in lock down along with her Mum. Her granny became symptomatic yesterday, nothing confirmed, but precautionary. I haven't had contact with my daughter for 6 days. So not included in mandatory lock down. I'm still voluntarily so for 5 days. I have also reports of at least two other families in my wider friends network, symptomatic, in lock down. Heard the neighbour bark coughing all day and seen an ambulance visiting another house in my street today. People here keep posting pictures from the pub and making light of it. When challenged they get defensive and say things like, "Don't judge me. Sure, people are out there getting it. But if i chose to have a few drinks and enjoy myself I will!". They just don't get it, that it's not "out there", it's right here, it's not coming, it's right now. I give it a week before the shit has hit the fan properly here. Northern Ireland reports 62 cases. I call bullshit on that. |

So far the overwhelming majority of deaths seem to concern to already sick or fragile people. Young and fit people seem to not get sick or suffer from flu like symptoms. |
