sadly, the rich will be grand. Even if they get it they can hire a private nurse, have a private lung machine (whatever) flown to their mansion, and have some of the best doctors in the world on call.

That kind of thing only gets you so far. Look at Steve Jobs

Steve Jobs was treated with fake alternative treatments for quite a while. He probably would have died eventually anyway because of the type of cancer he had. Money can make a huge difference for many health issues though.

This thread has gone beyond saving but it's really entertaining, so I don't mind too much.

If the virus doesn't get me, I'll die laughing I suppose.

was Jobs the one that went on a fruitarian diet?, that's not even alternative just fkn retarded

I thought the type of cancer he had originally was one of the rare forms of pancreatic cancer that is very treatable? If he had had the recommended surgery at soon as he was diagnosed he more than likely would have lived a lot longer or even beaten it altogether. He didnt opt for this though until the cancer had spread, instead trying alternative treatments

Jobs was diagnosed with a rare form of pancreatic cancer, called an islet cell tumor or gasteroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumor (GEP-NET), which is a different form of pancreatic cancer than the highly aggressive and often rapidly fatal pancreatic adenocarcinoma. GEP-NETs are slow growing tumors that have the potential to be cured surgically if the tumor is removed prior to metastasis

Are all of us in this thread living in a completely different universe to those in RTÉ? They just had a good old laugh at the whole thing. Couldn’t even call the virus and disease by their correct names either and that’s probably because they have done no research at all.

I’m sticking with you lot.

I'd expect no less from RTE

Is that on top of the 4 already hospitalised? Or 6 more?
Assuming it's total 10, still not great odds.

Feb 4th and 5th 20 cases were identified.

9-10 days later half of them need hospitalisation?
(Assuming they follow the other case studies of a week of mild symptoms and it's days 9,10 it gets severe. IF your a severe case.)

I see RTE news had an item about discrimination against Chinese people in Ireland. That restaurants had 50% down on normal and some Irish were avoiding getting too close to them.


Really? Our authorities have not stopped or quarantined those returning from China or other affected areas in the last month. How is the person in the street to know if that Asian person is a recent arrival or here for years. I don't blame people for not taking any chance even if it is very small.

They have a few stories on "borderline racism" for children calling it the China virus in a game (Chinese kids in same class) and a man covering his mouth and nose when a Asian person past by them.....

I mean literally everyone in Asian goes around with masks on their faces and one guy in Ireland covers his face and we are racist.

China has quarantined entire cities and barrakaded people in their homes, and Chinese take aways are down and its some sort of issue.

If there was a major breakout in Mayo, and a bus full of Mayo fans stopped at the same filling station as you, is it racist to avoid them.... Sure hasn't big Sam avoided Ma....... No sorry won't go there....

'bus full of Mayo fans stopped at the same filling station as you, is it racist to avoid them....'

Best avoid them anyway.
