Wow! I didnt know so many of youz were amongst the Infected.

10 th March....

Well I had a 3 month lay off as you know, and was only back a couple of weeks when I had to down tools again because of this virus
-
I went out for partial shifts since Xmas.The increase in commission from Freenow extended my Xmas holidays then the corona bollox quietened things down so I'm not sure if I'm even coming back on the road now.
Car has a 11 months to run before it needs changing and I don't wanna buy another to cover discounts all day.Many of the city center ranks have disappeared so it will be messy for a bit so I might stay on the scratcher for a while.2020 is a write-off.

I'm thinking the same merch. We'd be lucky to be back earning by Halloween although as you say the whole year is probably written off.

We need some money to live but it's not half as much if yer not taxi driving anymore.The ten-year rule was the biggest own goal we ever allowed IMO.

I haven't had any symptoms for the last 14 days, so prior to March 23rd I wasn't spreading the virus so I guess from December 2019 when the virus was discovered up to then I definitely wasn't spreading that particular virus, since March 23rd lust like the rest of you I hope. I do my best.
In answer to the question I tried to prevent the spread of the Virus as soon as I heard it had arrived on the Island, shame on the rest of you for not doing the same!
-
You don't know you definitely didn't have it.You can have no symptoms and still spread it.
Don't overthink it we might all catch it in September when the city reopens and some of us might not survive due to crowding in the hospitals.
-
There is a test to determine whether an individual had it or not. In fact, I think it's commercially available. They reckon if you had it you're probably immune for up to 12 months.

Well the only criteria for those quarantined is to show no symptoms for 14 days then they can re-enter society. I tend to bow to the experts in this matter so, having had no symptoms for the last 14 days, 15 days ago I didn't have it, however I could have acquired it 13 days ago so I continue to take care

The word I keep hearing is asymptomatic from various experts on the telly.Never heard it used so widely before this Covid stuff.They still don't know exactly what the symptoms are.Many people suffer in different ways.Some don't at all.Seems like the experts are guessing amongst themselves because they're caught off guard by this.
When this is over all our widows can complain over who left the least amount of money behind.
-
Great to see the ching chong chinaman banning eating wild animals....tho I'm sure theyll still push rhinoceros an tigers to extinction eatin ther horns an bollix instead of buying viagra off ebay like the rest of yous ......I'm going write a letter of compensation to the embassy in d4 .........the owlone next door still thinks it was manufactured deliberately.....

Truth is you are probably more likely to pick up the virus in Tesco doing the weekly shop than working your taxi. but we are being manipulated by the likes of SB into believing we're not, hopefully it extends way beyond this current pandemic and you are all afraid to re-enter your Cabs and become latter day Howard Hughes

I'll be out when I get down to my last billion.
Just remembered yesterday I went to pick up a prescription for a relative from a city center GP and they wouldn't even open the front door to me.All phones on voice mail .When the girl came out she was about ten feet into the building shouting out.Only two weeks ago I was allowed to sit beside others in the reception.
So I came home thinking I should be out there working as the roads are empty and I'm a little bored and there are a few lads still working away then I remembered the doctors are on lockdown except for emergencies who am I to think I'm immune.

just remember eventually you will be out there having not had the virus and all it will take is one infected person gently breathing in your general direction, best you take up a more solitary profession.

I'll outlive all yous oulfellas.For all I know I could have had it already.Think of it as a holiday.A chance to live a simpler life for a few months.

Have to agree MFH.....apart from the oul fellas bit....but we do all have our demons!! lol

Thanks Roy for elevating me to Taoiseach. I had no ambition in that direction, but if the people insist it would be remiss of me to refuse such a duty.

True, unless you go to Lidl. I guess you could also catch it while out sneering at the men who have elected to continue to serve the public.

were talking about a virus that affects roughly .01 % of the world population and is fatal in about 4% of these but yet has about 90 % of world media coverage .. get a fckng grip folks..

If it was just in Africa or Asia maybe, but it's here among us !!

They are serving their own needs, the public are secondary.

Doctors are getting fukked up mentally because they're watching people die and there's very little they can do about it. Then they have to phone the relatives sitting out in the carpark (because they're not allowed in) and tell them their loved one died alone with no human contact.

In New York, they're burying people in mass graves. Three deep. In public parks. Because they've run out of space in the 'normal' places. Imagine your loved one dies and weeks later, you go to visit the grave. If you pray etc, you don't know if you're praying to the body at the top, middle or the bottom of the grave.
Yep, just another day ::fds

Just how it is in over there if don't have any money
Hart Island contains New York City's 131-acre (0.53 km2) potter's field, or public cemetery. The potter's field is variously described as the largest tax-funded cemetery in the United States,[58] the largest-such in the world, and one of the largest mass graves in the United States. More than one million dead are buried on the island, though since the 2000s, the burial rate has declined to fewer than 1,500 a year.[6][59][60][62] One-third of annual burials are infants and stillborn babies, which has been reduced from a proportion of one-half since the Children's Health Insurance Program began to cover all pregnant women in New York State in 1997.] According to a 2006 New York Times article, there had been 1,419 burials at the potter's field during the previous year: of these, 826 were adults, 546 were infants and stillborn babies, and 47 were dismembered body parts.
