I think from what I’m hearing is that if you are coughing/sneezing that the mask may reduce spread of virus from you to others better than it will protect you from spread by others.

The only good thing about wearing a facemask is that it may stop people from touching there face and thus reducing the transfer of a virus from hands to eyes/nose/mouth...

wow, that's good news. It's so great he's doing this for everybody to see in the world as this first hand info from someone infected is worth more than any stats from WHO or whomever at this stage.


It's really relieving a 74 year old with diabetes! can recover without any medical help (that's what he said as I understood, he didn't had oxygen or anything).

it's a lot more valid here, where the panicked need to read it.

why do people swallow up any oul sh!te that is presented to them as fact???

why are you scared of a flu?

it's a flu. it's an illness that hasnt even touched off a tenth of the amount of peope that die ANNUALLY from regular influenza.

why panic about this?

why is every alternate opinion always portrayed as "conspiracy"???

The concern is because if coronavirus was allowed to spread as widely and commonly as influenza does , it would kill a lot more people than regular influenza would

Virus is worse than we're being told, death rates 20% plus, governments are lying = practically accepted as fact.

You think Italian and Korean governments are lying about the death rate too?

There is no virus lol
Did you miss the part about the thousands of people it has killed....stick to the conspiracy theory thread maybe.

there is no virus.
there is a "vaccine" which existed BEFORE the "virus" and now they have sufficiently scaremongered people into believing they need this "vaccine"... there could be anything in it. it could be a placebo...

most plausible is that it is a placebo, harmless injection and the sheer volume of people taking up on the "vaccine" means that somebody is getting rich AF from it.
a very successful outcome for the creators of this fabricated story.

i'm not buying into this.

unless it's actual zombies, then i'm not bothered.
a cough, a flu. ffs.

Not everyone is paniced.
I find the knicker twisting, what are the government/FG doing about it/Ireland sucks at everything going on in this thread by some people hilaroius. There is a bit of mass hysteria going on here no doubt. But your stuff is completely off the wall and the only place for it is a conspiracy forum.

not really though.

notice how the vaccine is ready?
it's not a vaccine - it's something else. i for one will NOT be taking any "vaccine".

this has me thinking now that's what the whole point of it was - to test something on people en masse. there was never a corona virus - it's something they invented so that they can scare people en masse into trialling whatever this "vaccine" is....

are you Lee Man hee or what the heck from this sonchin-whatever the fook sect?..

Absolute balls is that accepted as fact. Now THAT'S hysterical nonsense.

Austria and Croatia now have confirmed cases. We're sleep walking into this.

WHO guy who was in Wuhan is adamant about the quarantines being effective. It's the difference between exponential growth and getting a handle on it.

He sounds in great form. Sally is over her pneumonia. David nearly there and they were tested for virus today and will have results tomorrow. They are hopeful they will be virus free.

I love a good news day x

We're not really, I dont think anyone is under any illusions that it wont come here. I am not sure pulling the plug on daily business will be of much benefit, in fact, you could argue it may kill more people than it will save. (supplies issues etc)

Seemingly it does the exact opposite, people are constantly adjusting the mask on their face and therefore touching their face more often than if they weren't wearing one.

But it does reduce the chances of spreading the virus if the wearer is already infected by catching the coughs and splutters of the person.

Every time I glimpse this thread title in the list the 3 exclamation marks make me feel a little panicked.

just trying to open some minds i guess.

the posters in CT forum already look beyond what we're told to swallow, so i cant get my point across to those who need to hear it, over there.

here is where people are panicked, and some may realise they dont need to be as scared of something so made-up.

So who are you blaming for this hoax?
The jews?
The Ra?
The brits?
George Soros?
Trump?

Give me a bit more insight into what you're thinkin

I was reading earlier that Chinese scientists claim they have a vaccine to start trials with, but can't find it now ...

There are lots of fast-tracked drug trials ongoing in China. Two of the more promising drugs are a new one designed against ebola virus (remdesivir) and potentially the old anti-malarial drug chloroquine.

I don't know about a Chinese vaccine, but there are lots of labs trying to produce one. One US lab was reported yesterday as looking to begin human trials, though a widely available vaccine could still be weeks away (link). Still, that's extraordinaly fast given we're only a couple of months into this.

DrumSteve wrote: »

I thought that they just had a better test kit to identify it earlier?

They say they have an approved antibody testing kit. Link
These kits can take a week or more to detect if you've been infected and so don't replace the RT-PCR tests for presence of active virus. However the RT-PCR tests may also not register a positive result for a few days and have sometimes given false negative results.

Where they will be really useful is in seeing who has been infected before and recovered. That will show the scale of outbreaks, and give a much better idea of the true proportion of cases that develop into a serious condition.

Indeed yes. Those who have meals on wheels /attend lunch clubs will be fine and I think the organisers will reach out more. but really up to us to look out for our neighbours?

In a tiny community here with several old folk and they will all be looked out for. As I am.

that's the real story here.

there's no virus, there's no vaccine - it's something else they'll prick you with.
and you will do it willingly - because they have succesfully scared the masses.

The only people taking it will be the people on boards.ie no one else cares... was that China’s plan this whole time ???

Ok question about the coronavirus I know it can cause pneumonia..
I had what was described as atypical viral pneumonia when I was about 19. It was bloody horrendous I lost about 3 stone by the end of it.
Not sure if this would make me more or less susceptible to this? I am guessing I will be at same risk, my immune system is excellent since very rare I get a cold even.

As you say it is too soon to take Draconian measures. and as with Italy no way of knowing where in Ireland it may hit. No use lockdown in Donegal for an outbreak down in West Cork.

Say my name

An Italian doctor has tested positive for the virus in Tenerife.

It's probably already in this country now and we don't even know it.
Containment hasn't worked.

I can’t answer that. Dazzler, Martina or Catamaniac might have some insight

I would be surprised if it wasn't already here.

TomSweeney

Was feeling a little bit positive after hearing about the vaccine, then I watched Dr Johns video

Bloody hell he's pessimistic!!

He says the Italian situation is worrying as it's only a week old and already has CFR of 3% and criticial cases 13% ... but he's being a bit disingenous there as the testing is only a week old, a lot of these people have been sick for a few weeks now ..

What do you suggest? We dismiss the thousands who work in governments and health services the world over and let the conspiracy mob take over? There is a lot we don't know about governments and people in power but you lot go too far the other way not believing literally anything. Ironically you go on to say it's just the flu based on the WHO comparing the spread of it to flu. What if the government's are actually downplaying it and want you to downplay it too so they can kill off millions? Are you part of the conpiracy? Oh my god do you work for them??

I'm not sure why, but this reminded me of Stan by Eminem for some reason.

The silence from other European countries is deafening, still showing ridiculously low confirmed cases, are we all afraid to test our patients?
Hospitals have been epicenters of contagious before, they need to run tests at least there

jester77

Are there any travel warnings in place?

My parents, who are in their 70's, have a trip coming up soon to Tenerife. It's a little concerning now seeing that hotel there in lock down. The chances of it being just confined to that hotel are probably slim.
