Just a question on a potential Vaccine.

I seem to remember that Swine Flu started in April/May 2009 (I was pregnant at the time). But I thought that there was a Vaccine a few months later (maybe October?)

So why are they saying that it will be 12-18 months now ?

The swine flu vaccine was rushed through without adequate testing. And it looks like narcolepsy was a not uncommon side effect. Don't want to be making the same mistake again.

4th Italian casualty, https://www.repubblica.it/cronaca/2020/02/22/news/coronavirus_in_italia_aggiornamento_ora_per_ora-249241616/

Google translate says - Fourth victim in Italy: he is an 84-year-old man who was hospitalized in Bergamo for other diseases

Looks like virus is active in that hospital (Papa Giovanni XXIII" hospital of the Lombard city) any chance the disease is being caught within the hospital - majority of intensive care patients appear to be Lombardy (16/17)? Any detailed articles re same?

I agree with that sentiment. I posted a warning in the OP partially on the back of Ads by Google's feedback, but also after a number of reports. It can be seen via the link in the OP here, but the gist of it is none of us can be considered in any way "specialist" in the topic, but even if any of us feel we do have relevant knowledge we are all anonymous posters and unless a verified rep our own "expertise" is non-verifiable. Equally though those comments apply across the whole site.

Of course posting links to verifiable sources is different, but unlike other forums such as Politics we no not require such links to be posted and in the absence of such verifiable information everything posted should really be taken with a pinch of salt (except Mod warnings of course:pac:)

If boards.ie policy is to allow fake news in 2020, I will continue to make a mockery of it and the posters here doing it.

I’m meant to be going to Paris for final game and just seeing how it plays out over next 3 weeks. I’m 70% thinking we won’t be going the way things are looking.

Yes but there is only a 35% chance of that.:P

Edit I am meant to be going away in 3 weeks also that is why I am following this thread.

Sure you have to laugh otherwise you might cry.

dominatinMC · 24-02-2020 09:48AM

I see "COVID-19" is now trending on Twitter...a sure sign that we're ****ed! :eek:

Probably not the best idea to admit to trolling.

I think that's chapter 1 in how to be a troll

Awwww Googly is bored. He’s been told to stay away from work for weeks now.

Any update on the work situation?

CinemaGuy45 · 24-02-2020 09:53AM

Just for some perspective.

The situation seems to have really kicked into high gear in the last 24 to 48 hours.

Yes this thing is not the end of the world the death rate although disputed is pretty low.

However the economy as in the world economy is going to take a beating and the same morons who said there was nothing to worry about are going to be the first ones to go into full panic mode.

Hector Savage · 24-02-2020 09:53AM

Just listened to RTE Sean O Rourke talking to some doctor - we're ok, Ireland has a plan if it gets here..

I hope they can manage to contain it but who knows at this stage, it seems to be such an insidious virus.

Italian government is a bunch of clowns and they have no clue of what is going on and what to do next.
They tell us (Italian) not to panic, but they are in a clear state of panic themselves.

Lets not forget the actual infection rate is very low too, especially with effort applied. We tend to forget Hubei has 58 million people.

Kermit.de.frog · 24-02-2020 09:58AM

There is no reason for panic whatsoever.

It is an interesting story to follow and speculate on but I don't feel concerned myself.

This, this, this, this all day long is why I’m worried, our hospitals are bursting at the seams as it is, we do not have the facilities for an increase in people on ventilators or ICU requirements here https://twitter.com/drericding/status/1231817781643038721?s=21
