Coronavirus - the deadly virus that no one dies from

Nobody knows the long term effects of a serious dose either. There are reports of significant damage to multiple organs

:smile:

Irish 30 day fatality rate is 0.17 per cent.

Two not so promising bits of Covid related news.

Astra Zeneca halt their phase 3 trial of a vaccine candidate after an adverse reaction from a participant in the study.

England ban gatherings of more than 6 people due to a surge in Covid cases over the weekend.

How many roads must a man walk down, before you call him a man? The answer my friend is written by @Tassotti in 1,000 common sense posts on this thread that no-one even bothers responding to anymore because they’re all just truisms. Ireland is fucked forever, Tassotti called it early.

Serious question: if Dublin gets a local lockdown and I call for Micheal Martin to be assassinated, would I be banned from TFK?

Irish now pal

Depends who’s doing the night shift

@Tierneevin1979 , I saw this article a few days ago on the Guardian, really it’s an Observer article. I thought it was pretty good. We were talking about how dangerous ventilators are on a different thread, it talks a bit about that.

I know you’ve been saying a lot that the virus has just naturally evolved to be less fatal but I don’t find that convincing because it seems to me unlikely that it would evolve in the exact same direction at the exact same rate all over the world so very quickly. I know coronaviruses are supposed to evolve quickly but you’re talking about massive changes in the symptoms in the space of just a few infections. That seems to me unlikely. Given that evolution works through random changes and then survival of the fittest, even if symptoms were evolving rapidly in the space of a few infections you would expect more dangerous strains to also randomly evolve and then die out through survival of the fittest. I see no evidence of that happening.
