All in all, when the dust settles on this, things won't be the same again. Lax border controls being one. The EU response has been well, non-existent. If they were serious about it, then they would have closed the Italian border a week ago, but that didn't happen so now, all of Europe is infected.

The virtue signalling about the whole "one europe" project played a massive part.

Tbh it was coming sooner or later anyway with our lax attitude to most things.

Nope! Too much of a coincidence for me that it first started infecting people in the vicinity of the viral lab.
Then coupled with the virus is a mutation from bats, snakes and pangolin with maybe a smattering of HIV makes it more likely in my books that it's an engineered virus.
Probably tested on some convicts that in fairness the regime has a poor record on. Organ harvesting, etc, etc.

I suppose you believe the earth is flat, 9/11 was a hoax, the moon landing never happened and that vaccinations are bad?

Why on earth would it be an engineered virus?? Tell us about your background in lab work/research that makes you believe this? Or do you prefer to believe morons on YouTube over doctors/scientists?

Does anyone want to buy a yacht with me and then we can charge people to escape the island and the virus. My plan will save hundreds ( or kill hundreds, who knows).

Well there's no smoke without fire. How is this dismissed so easily?

Sounds rough. I've yet to hear that coronavirus induces the runs, so hopefully you've just got something equally as awful.

Keep up posted and get well soon

Aer Lingus confirm the confirmed case travelled on one of their flights and they are liasing with the authorities.

Because it's conspiracy theory guff that's why. It's the kind of stuff people dream up from watching too many hollywood movies.

The next week will be interesting, as we will see cases skyrocket out of control all around Europe. Which is depressing, as its one of the most advanced and developed regions in the world, well able to handle this situation. But red-tape and inertia meant they were unable to.

Irish Rail spokesperson Barry Kenny said: “We’ve had no confirmation at this time that the person travelled by Enterprise, but both Iarnród Éireann and Translink undertook a sanitising clean of the Enterprise fleet as a precautionary measure overnight.”

Another record day in South Korea

South Korea reported 571 new coronavirus cases on Friday, its biggest daily increase in infections that takes its total to 2,337, the largest outbreak outside China where the epidemic began late last year.

Does anyone know where in Mexico their confirmed case is?

A 6th passenger on the ship has died. Almost 1% of all those affected have now died with almost three dozen other still in a serious condition

It's just that they haven't been communist in decades

So when did they stop. Before or after killing 40 million in the Great Leap Forward? The Cultural Revolution? Another few million. Why is communism so slippery when put into practice for people who defend it?

What about a smoke machine?

The "vicinity" of the lab is incidental. If it started in Dublin, you could say it started in the vicinity of the viral lab at UCD.

Most larger cities on the planet have at least one lab involved in researching pathogens.

If Wuhan was a rural backwater of 5,000 people with nothing but a shop and a virus research lab, then maybe it's suspicious.

But it's not. It's a city with a population twice that of Ireland's.

The coronavirus could reach most “if not all countries”, the World Health Organisation said on Friday after Nigeria confirmed sub-Saharan Africa’s first case, Reuters is reporting.

“The outbreak is getting bigger,” WHO spokesman Christian Lindmeier told a Geneva news briefing. “The scenario of the coronavirus reaching multiple countries, if not all countries around the world, is something we have been looking at and warning against since quite a while.”

Five more countries have reported their first case of Covid-19, all with travel history connected to Italy - Nigeria, Estonia, Denmark, the Netherlands and Lithuania.

Lindmeier added that the WHO was looking very carefully into reports of some people getting re-infected. “We need to carefully look at how the tests were taken, how the person was examined, if it was maybe overlooked that the person still had the virus somewhere in the residue in the body, whether they got reinfected by different means or ways. We’re not in a position to say it is possible or not to be coming back and being re-infected.

“In general, we would expect that a person who had the coronavirus infection would be immune for at least a while afterwards. But again this is something we do not yet know.”
