    But didn't that video do the rounds last year in connection with a chemical attack

    I honestly can't get my head around the number of people posting on this site who look at something on twitter and without a moments hesistation accept it as fact. Videos can be from literally anywhere, and anytime. Twitter will make you more stupid and if you're the type of person who's inclined to spend a lot of time on it you likely haven't got many brain cells to spare.

    Is that not the Lyons-Turin match, in France? I heard it was going ahead as normal (ie open to fans on both sides) despite concerns in France.

    No the league game at the weekend

    Oops you are right - it's the Inter Milan v Ludogorets game behind closed doors.

    You have over 8'000 posts so I will ask have you got a source.

    That number of posts can't be a troll?

    Edit yes a troll.

    Yeah good luck with that

    Cancelled officially or not you’re gonna see thousands of tourists canceling their travel plans I’d say.

    Mod: Genuine mistake guys. Jeez you're quick to jump on that RP button.

    If anyone is posting reported cases, please try to provide a source. It will stop us poor mods being bombarded. Cheers.

    No, and timelines for these kind of vaccines suggest not going to be available to help with this year's outbreak.

    I could imagine a lot of stuff being cancelled if there is an outbreak here between now and paddys day, hopefully that won't happen.

    You better hope Glastonbury doesn't get cancelled, hopefully we'll get a hot summer which will kill off the virus for the summer and it will go ahead, have you been following the Coronavirus thread in the Glastonbury forum MadYaker?

    It takes several months to develop and test a vaccine. There will be one this time next year once the virus does not mutate.

    If the Chinese develop a vaccine I can see them getting it out very quickly

    Sorry my bad.

    We are going to get a confirmed case soon enough I just know some people will go into meltdown when it happens.

    Just thinking of the fragile folk here.:)

    I know how worried people are but it's just inevitable there will be cases in every country. The key is whether we have one or two cases here and there across countries as we have with the flu, clusters as in Italy shutting places down, or full blown pandemic across 2020. I still can't bring myself to think the reality will be the last one but getting anxious when the first case/s is confirmed in Ireland is unnecessary.

    Well this is gas, a friend of ours who is slightly hypochondriac was reading that the hand gels are useless unless they comprise 80% alcohol, well for viruses anyway. Makes sense as that is what is in the hospitals. The bang of alcohol off them would get you breathalysed on the way home from visiting patients!

    So he bought a bottle of cheapo vodka and made a mixture of vodka and handwash soap. I'd rather drink the hooch myself, but sure who knows now anyway it's all turning in to a bit of a farce.

    If I was running Jameson's, I'd be asking the government to let me up it to 80% and then start selling Jameson's CV19 hand sanitizer. Profit would probably quadruple YOY.

    They don't tolerate such genuine mistakes in China.

    A mod on Chinese boards would have had the offending poster 'disappeared'.
