How can you look after someone and you donāt know it you have the cunting thing or not.
Not so sure. They will be first in the firing line when this spreads. There will be a lot of anger.
If they freeze all rates rent and revenue we will know then the Govt are taking it serious, until then people wildly panicing is just that and it serves no purpose than the usual screaming Mary bullshite
Lads ye almost have me contemplating not going.
It seems the death rate for younger people from Coronavirus is higher than for all people from the flu. 0.2% for 20-40 year olds apparently. A lot of people die from ordinary flu.
Look, weāve known since wuhan it was coming here. There was an opportunity to be proactive and introduce measures. That opportunity has passed. We are now reactive. We are reacting to an event we have no control over. We are reacting because people are fundamentally selfish and inherently greedy. Thatās what will kill us.

I went home home on the way back from Kerry there and my mother is absolutely furious with me.
Ordinary flu is hundreds of strains all measured as one. This is one strain.
This is extinction level numbers
The Irish always react.
If theyāre elderly, they presumably can isolate and get food etc delivered.
If there are underlying issues, they just need to be kept indoors I reckon, until we know where we are in two weeks time.
Itās not extinction level numbers or anywhere near it but if it hits humanity on the same scale as Spanish flu weāre looking at at least 26 million deaths worldwide from it and possibly a lot more.
If its seasonal and or mutates then we are fucked
Thereās no comparison between spanish flu and the coronavirus. Thatās bollocks.
Those bat eating bastards should be nuked.
I disagree. I cannot think of any other situation where at least 150 medical staff from our health service have not only been told not to come to work but also to completely self isolate. Its just never happened I donāt think. But itās happening now. Our health service is permanently creaking and is now about to be hit by a Tsunami of cases requiring urgent treatment. Thats from the people who know what this is and how serious it is. If you can think of any situation this has happened in in our lifetime Iād like to hear it.

2010 Limerick senior hurlers strike was similar.
Exactly. When the experts are panicking, itās time to fucking do something.
The fact people are going about as if this is a laugh is fucking terrifying
weāll have a vaccine by October.
Hold tough lads. Wank into a sock if you must but hold tough, weāll survive.

If it behaves like Spanish flu it will come in waves and subsequent ones could be even more virulent. Spanish flu eventually petered out for reasons we donāt quite fully understand. The hope is that something similar might happen with this. I believe there is a thing called herd immunity.
There was a long read article on the Guardian yesterday about how well intentioned research by scientists could be very dangerous because the labs this sort of research is done in are not secure enough - and thatās without mentioning anybody who might have malign intent.

It was replicated months ago and there is still no vaccine. That is bad
