Itā€™s repetitive mate. No new angle or evidence to back up the theories.

Carry on if it helps by all means but having a proper chat with someone mightnā€™t hurt.

Theres a difference between understanding it and being all for it.

This is TEMPORARY.

Nothing is constant

Mate, with respect, you canā€™t talk about repetitiveness

I know. You should take my advice seriously

Youā€™re scared out of your wits pal, have been from the very start.

This viruses death numbers are not proportionate to destroying this country.

Unfortunately, my view is very much in the minority so we might as well go full lockdown now rather than getting peoples hopes up about a normal Christmas etc, having intercounty chapionships etc,

Keep the public safe. Itā€™ll only be temporary as you say.

He might try get elected and get the health ministry after this.

Iā€™ll field this

No, not an absolute hope.
Pharmaceutical companies are very risk averse and before they make something high volume it will need to have FDA approval first of all, expediting that process is very challenging and whilst there will be some collaborative research between companies most of them will go it alone and that will also prevent a solution being found quicker
I would estimate minimum 2.5 years

Donā€™t cry for me. Iā€™m already dead.

Destroying the country? Sounds scary. Are you scared?

Iā€™m considering selling up and moving to Kerry kid.

If the cases are primarily in the the under 45 age category it is probably a lot more prevalent than imagined.

I posted in the Serie A thread that 14 of the Genoa match squad tested positive for it at the weekend after their game with Napoli, 11 of them were players with the remainder being backroom staff.

You could pretty much take it that they were all asymptomatic so itā€™s probably a lot higher right now than youā€™d imagine.

Who shit in your bovril?

Charlie Bird calling out the fear arising from the daily stats here.

Heā€™s an awful loss to RTE. Whatever you say about him heā€™d question what has been going on for months on end rather than parroting the government/NPHET line.

Somewhere in between Iā€™d estimate. Thereā€™s a massive effort underway, with 56 candidates in clinical trials and 9 of those in phase 3. Personally I think the Moderna vaccine has the best shot at being effective, and the phase 3 trial should be complete before the end of the calendar year. Convincing people of itā€™s safety and producing it in the numbers required will be the challenge, but Iā€™d cautiously say we will have a vaccine in wide circulation by March or April next year.
