    I actually an involved in management plans for the Corona virus so I would suspect I would know more than you. If I didn't, I would definitely not deserve my salary.

    Well god help us all so.

    Why can't you be just civil like the rest of us here.

    Because sometimes people idle gossip results in real life deaths and that is something I've no time for. There is no need to panic yet. I will be at the front line for this so I'm putting my life at risk more than the majority of posters here. But fear mongering doesn't help us.

    You're shutting me down for discussing clear facts, you're the last thing anyone needs right now.

    Well, keep spreading lies. You do you. When push comes to shove, I'll be on the frontlines whilst you are cowering behind your keyboard.

    Yeah, you've let everyone know this already, the country will be forever in your debt.

    The pope cancelling meetings because of an illness after greeting crowds of people in a region where the virus is spreading rapidly.

    I don't understand how it isn't acceptable to discuss that this may very well be coronavirus, is he immune to it due to his holy title?

    He's an old man and just as prone as everyone else who has contracted the virus in the region.
    He's not immune. It's just highly unlikely. Epidemiologically, it doesn't make sense but you continue to believe your conspiracy theories.

    I never said he has it, I said it is quite likely.

    If you are genuinely working on the "frontlines", you'd be best opening your mind up a bit and allow for open discussion instead of shutting it down.

    God bless your bravery. Would you catch yourself on with your self adoration? You've no idea who other posters are or what they face daily or will be facing.
    Your tone to another poster suggests that you are out of your depth pressure wise already and need to lie down and take a few chill pills.
    Mods shouldn't have to police vitriol like that shown by you?
    The poster"s comments may be left of centre, unlikely or they may be bang on. You're not the final arbiter of that.

    And how are you helping at a national level? In fact, you are really undermining the actual threat with your lies.

    Please explain how it doesn't make sense that an elderly man who surrounded himself with public crowds, not only being in close contact but also touching these people, could not potentially catch this virus?

    Explain to me how the virus decided to defy everything we know about it in this one instance.

    South Korea reported its first case of reinfection by the new coronavirus Saturday amid mounting concerns over the rapid rise in infections here.

    A South Korean woman tested positive for COVID-19 for a second time, even after being released from quarantine, according to the Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (KCDC).

    The 73-year-old woman, who was diagnosed with the virus earlier in the month, was released from hospital Feb. 22 after making a full recovery.

    She started showed symptoms again Thursday and was found to have contracted the virus again Friday, the agency said

    Who thought this would just blow over.

    December I looked at an article about wuhan virus. Said to myself, would these people stop eating exotic animals(or whatever animals).
    Ahh sure it will be grand, I said to myself.



    Look now.

    Would the two of you discuss this over pm please - its infuriatingly stupid. Grow up!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,850 ✭✭✭✭bodhrandude



    Aw man, this virus is scary, it seems there is no immunity from this or perhaps a case mistaken to be clear of the virus.

    I may come across angry but the reality is that false accusations like these put increased pressures on A+E. So say somebody comes in with suspected with coronavirus (coming from a visit with pope Francis). Patient needs to be isolated with resp equipment (To cover if they deteriorate rapidly. Then next comes a 17 year old with an life threatening asthma attack, hard luck buddy, the resp equipment is tied up with the potential Covid-19 patient. The 17 year old died from a very treatable form of asthma attack. But due to fear mongering, loads of people present to A+E (with cough symptoms) blocking real emergency cases.

    American Airlines to suspend all US flights to Milan.

    This is what I meant by consequences beyond the virus itself - your country slowly being closed off from the rest of the world.
