Apparently a woman who was born before the Spanish flu recovered from the corona virus due to the antibodies she had from the Spanish flu.

Where in the name of God did you see that?

This almost feels like the purge

I’d sincerely love to think Ireland is at a 7-7.5 but I fear that’s as ambitious as Trump thinking we will be out and about again for Easter.

There’s still plenty capacity in Irish hospitals including ICU units, and more capacity being added I believe. It will all be needed, the next 2-4 weeks will be tough going.

CNN I think

@Julio_Geordio

Headline from the journal “Irish museum of modern art identified as possible temporary mortuary site” fucking hell that’s bleak

Its bleak at the best of times

[anon7035031]

Must have misheard or CNN got it wrong. Spanish flu was an H1N1 virus, same family as swine flu in 2009. Coronaviruses are a completely different family. There are other reasons why some people are doing better, blood type seems to be one, or she was just very healthy for a 102 year old.

Well got an email from work saying we’re staying open after discussions with the government during the week. I’m ecstatic as I have been in everyday during this crisis and dont particularly want to interact with other, I’d rather be isolated till it passes. The fucking joys

@Mac

…m sensible and good timing given the last 2 weekends introduced unnecessary stuff in pubs and public places. Anything I’m missing?Presume the rural lads are up in arms about he 2km thing but sure it won’t be policed there so they’ll be grand?Any info yet on what cocooning actually means in real terms?

1. Fucked
   2, No
2. Who Cares
3. No

[Batigol]

Still none the wiser about whether I’ve to work tomorrow or not and I’m at a serious “tipping point” with my cans. Leo needs to clarify ASAP

@Mac

…er so it’s lesser of 3 evils. Both have tried to coin it off schools, both have outright lied about their lives to further their current careers, both have failed massively in many ways. I’d probably end up killing whichever one I’d have to endure so on that basis it wouldn’t really bother me I guess…

What did sadlier lie about?

[Mullach_Ide]

@Thomas_Brady

…really . Our kids and grand kids will have to write essays on this in years to come, amazed and proud of what we went through . The sacrifices we made. The pain we suffered.When in reality all we did was ball hop a few Galway lads that Callanan is better than Joe and we called a cunt loads of times.

That was a ballhop??

[anon7035031]

Yes a ball hop. Did you see Callanan against Clare in Ennis in 2008 and Canning against Cork the same year? One was U21 where Callanan didn’t stand out, the other was senior when Canning finished the Rocks’s career.

Oh yeah, still a ballhop so.

[anon7035031]

Were you at both games?

[Mullach_Ide]

@anon7035031

Were you at both games?

I didn’t need to have been at both games, do you want a fucking medal or something.

[anon7035031]

No but the claim was made Callanan was a superstar in Ennis in 2008. He wasn’t, that wasn’t a great Clare U21 team especially defensively. Canning meanwhile was making shit of Cork at senior. Do you not see the distinction?

Callanan scored 1-03 from play in the 2008 Munster Senior Hurling Final in Limerick, were you at that match?
