There are facets to be sides... The problem here in Ireland we are both short on priests, and they are elderly. Our diocese have a full program running from the main chapel, the Cathedral. The bishop said 12:30pm mass today. And at the risk of sounding like Father Ted, he says a truly wonderful mass. They have a great program running all day, everyday. Adoration, devotions, masses, divine mercy prayers. Its v well done. It's a chance too for people not from these shores to 'attend' an irish mass.

If your local chapel does something similar, send me the link.... I like to listen when I'm doing my chores..
Just about the same here. The military is setting up tents at fed ex field in suburban Maryland (home field of redskins ) there is a land complex there Same thing , Don
An amusing "upside" to this: We've not had so much interaction with family and in-laws (phone, text) in quite a while! I mean THEIR making the effort (it's usually us calling or texting). The only silence is from a particular in-law who can't seem to make up her mind if it's a serious issue or not. Guess she's still trying to make up her mind, hence the silence.
It is hard to figure how this will work. I pray for your daughter's safety Don. My son still is going to work in Massachusetts. Because his job is with one of the necessary industries. I'm concerned for his health and safety.
While ChloroQuinine is possibly good or encouraging news. I wonder how many ill-informed, low-level informed people will become less guarded because of this, thinking there is an established cure and this is '"no more dangerous than the flu". Here in America, obsessed with our freedom to do what we want , it will be quite a few. These are the people you are mingling with , if and when, you have to go outside.
All the supermarkets here are looking for staff and are hoping to recruit workers from the hospitality industry who have been laid off. Your daughter may well be considered part of the essential service sector. One of my family who has decided to shop online has discovered that delivery will be in about 2 weeks. There's a five day wait for order and collect.
Agreed. However, apparently there's an astonishing number of "rebels" in Europe as well: Italians (despite the horrific daily death toll) refusing to comply, large groups collecting in London, airplanes still allowed to fly into Heathrow from China, Iran, Italy, and Spain. I see quite a few comments at message boards of "hysteria over the flu." Right, like 793 people die in 24 hours in one country (Italy) because it's "the flu." While I certainly don't condone fear-mongering and especially not panic, this is serious. I've worked alongside Medicine for 30 years. I've never seen anything like this; images out of Wuhan in February were chilling. Better safe than sorry! Some people are foolish. Period.
I have COVID-19 since February 21. My symptoms are moderate, because I trink hawthorn tea as it was said to Marie Julie Jahenny. Scientists have revealed the principle of this disease: https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi...HvNi7JDH7XJEr0zV1bngqpbfUB6UIuzbbaQj58BbN5iag The virus induces harmful hypertension. I measure my blood pressure every two hours, and if it is higher than 150/90, I trink hawthorn infusion with potassion.
I should have made it clear that she is shopping online at the local supermarket. She could walk there in 15 minutes but she's a pensioner with health issues and is observing the request that people stay home as much as possible. Do people actually buy eggs via Amazon?
I will keep you in my prayers. I found that I had a mild case of the flu starting the first week of March. It did not get really bad and was mostly gone after the first week because I had received the vaccine, but I still had a cough and had to stay home from work. I finally got the cough to go away by taking a small dose (2,000 units) of vitamin D every morning. If possible, adding that to your hawthorn tea might give you that extra boost to get through the illness.
It would not surprise me! Is there any way you could do the shopping for her? If I had a car I would be volunteering to do that for some of the people in my parish.
Well, it is kind of creepy, but our governor is really no- nonsense and is wielding his authority for sure. That's all I'm going to say on a public forum
Reminds me of something I heard recently. I think eggs sold out on the panic buying day here which thankfully isn't happening now. My friend was telling a neighbour that she had managed to buy all she needed but that there were no eggs left on the shelves. Her neighbour's response: "Why? Have the hens stopped laying?"
