It would be helpful if you explained how to do that......so I will ask nicely....anyone?

Agreed. So, how do you do it ?

Paragraphs? Or did you not want to mention the word 'Para'?

Miduck.

No....how do you break up the "reply with quote" into sections to answer different pieces on their own?

[navypie]

Say I only wanted to put " Miduck " gump when replying to your post.

Time for the back garden footie match.

That didn't work......tried breaking the "reply with quote" into sections using the "return" key......then copying-n-pasting "quote" before my answer...plus it was a pain in the arse....if nobody answers Navy, I will try an on-line search later

Can anyone tell me why there is so much prominence given to testing? I can see why medical staff need to be screened but for the general pubic? How do you get tested? If you do get tested and the result is positive, but have not developed symptoms, you will be unlikely to be admitted to hospital but told to go home and self-isolate. If the result is negative - what then? Told to go home and self-isolate is what.

If your result was positive but later you died from any other illness, as covid19 is now a notifiable disease, you would be classified as having died WITH covid19 even if it wasn't that virus that actually killed you. There is a difference between dying FROM covid19 and dying WITH it. Specialists estimate that fatalities FROM the actual virus are about 12% of the total who have died WITH it.

This brings into perspective the statistics coming from Germany. They are giving their number of deaths FROM covid19 but others including the UK and Italy are giving out numbers of deaths of people WITH it.

Your last paragraph is very telling.

Muddying the waters, at the beginning of this outbreak the phrase 'underlying health conditions' was very prevalent - the exception being the case of the 21 year-old girl who was widely reported as the 'youngest victim'.

Except she wasn't of course. She didn't have flu, she has asthma and was apparently a 'low priority' for an ambulance.

To answer Navypie and Tarkers...

I copy/paste the entire quote including the [quote] captions.

Then, making sure I don't delete the captions at the start and finish, I delete the text within the quote so that only the bit I want to answer remains, and then I add in my own comment below the quote.

If I want to address the whole post, but break it down bit by bit, I follow the same procedure, separating out and answering each element of the original quote in turn.

Nothing to it really!

Alternatively, don't bother. Just go and make a cup of tea or sit under a palm tree, which is far more worthwhile!

....answer?

When you reply using the quote facility, copy the whole quote and paste it as many times as you want but only select the relevant text by deleting the sections you don't want. There may be an easier way, but that's how I do it.

Edit: Looks like jackal does the same.

We should get back to the onions!

So you copy-n-paste the whole thing 5 times, delete the internal section 5 times, then answer 5 times......that seems like a helluva lot of work?
