    I think the levels of ignorance and “as long as I’m alright jack, stuff you” around coronavirus are frightening. It kills 2% if we’re to believe the official figures, but it’s not a flat 2%, with immunity compromised and elderly at highest risk and a greater death rate than 2%. Seeing the stuff you attitude that a lot of people have, I’ve no faith that we in Ireland will do anything to protect other people or prevent the spread unless we’re forcibly quarantined. Either way I’m stock piling because I will have to look after myself and those in my family who are chronic asthmatics and at serious risk. Each to their own, but I do think people in high risk groups should prepare as well as they can and ignore the childish and ignorant remarks of others.

    1. It first appeared in the only city in China with a BSL-4 laboratory capable of creating biological weapons – Wuhan
    2. The first doctors to report its appearance among the public were arrested and silenced
    3. The Chinese government originally tried to cover up the existence of the disease
    4. It has genetic fingerprints that do not normally occur in nature
    5. The Chinese are attempting to take extreme steps to control it, steps so extreme they have never been taken in human history

    There’s more to the story.

    BSL-4 labs like these – in the US, Russia, China and Israel – exist for one reason only: to weaponize diseases. They have no other legitimate purpose.

    The World Health Organization (WHO) signs off on the creation and operation of most of these labs.

    Big Pharma provides the WHO with 50% of its funding.

    The sponsor of these labs in the US is the Pentagon and they’re assisted in their work by the CDC.

    Dr. Francis Boyle is an international law professor at the University of Illinois and author, among others, of Biowarfare and Terrorism. He’s the man who drafted the U.S. Biological Weapons Anti-Terrorism Act of 1989 signed into law by George H. W. Bush.

    He says the coronavirus has all the appears appearances of an offensive biological weapon that escaped from the Wuhan BSL-4 laboratory.

    Thats exactly what i do!! im a bad man!!, how ridiculous are you? im a realist and acknowledge that old and susceptible people will die from this, doesn't mean im going around hoping it happens or anything of the sort.

    yes but these would be unnecessary deaths if proper precautions and measures are put in place to avoid the spread in the first place.

    there's a difference from dying from old age or dying from negligence because a government/health authority/regular joe doesn't make extra effort to stop its spread.

    Wait and see, we are all doomed according to some here.

    This thread has become extremely busy over the course of the past week. This has becoming a fast moving situation, and information is harder to come by and decipher with so many new countries being affected.
    Just to reflect from week to week, this time last week we were coming to terms with the explosion of cases in Italy, and now this weekend we have France, Germany and UK all reporting increases.
    After listening to various experts during the week on Primetime, RTE Radio 1, Newstalk, etc., I have come to the sad realisation that the Irish government's response is utterly inadequate. This will not be a political matter if the virus takes hold here, it will be chaos. A few questions I have for any members of government or the HSE that read this thread are:
    1. Have our medical personnel in hospital's been supplied with enough Hazmat suits to protect themselves and the general public from a mass outbreak - I'm not talking about a few people in the isolation areas, but across the hopsital?
    2. Some of the information given by our medical experts on various media channels across the state seems inaccurate and out of date. Have they not been given relevant up to date data from ECDC? Have they no other way of gathering data from other countries?
    3. Why are all the officials we see on the news referring to the ECDC and WHO continuously? This doesn't contain the virus, these organisations just issue recommendations. Where is the Irish response and appropriate measures in relation to this?? They keep referring to lots of 'preparation' over the last few weeks, what is it? Do they have a plan of action as to where hundreds of sick people might go if there's a mass outbreak, and why are we not being given any information as to what it is?
    So many questions, so few answers. I understand the need to avoid panic, but some amount of realism, action and appropriate measures need to be taken. The head of ISME on Newstalk's segment re the virus was so inaccurate it's astounding as he was brought on as a guest to discuss its potential impact...

    Trouble with that is had our government put in loads of restrictions and compulsory stay at home orders etc you’d have the very same people bemoaning those worried about this, complaining about the restrictions.
    That’s just ridiculous but that’s people for you.

    that was disproven, if it was Indian researcher one, others looked at the same data and said this lad misinterpreted what he was looking at

    I'm sure snow garden will provide a link to their CV so we can see why they think their opinion is superior.

    I bow to your expertise. In that case you should tell more people that some lad said 45,000,000 people will die from the new coronavirus and that you absolutely believe him. Have you told your family yet?

    Your 25% statement is disingenuous. You know that is a prediction of a WCS

    I didn't know that actually but am glad to be corrected. I think we can agree to disagree.
