The only ones that should be "panic" buying is the HSE and other relevant departments.

Doctors being told to get their facemasks from builder's providers is a joke.

They seem to have taken the view that it is impossible to prevent the spread of the virus. The figure of 60% is just daft. How could 60% be infected without the rest of the population being exposed one way or another.
Nobody has any immunity now, so what they are really saying is that virtually everyone will be infected, the vast majority will recover and thereby build up herd immunity.
It’s a different strategy to most countries and who’s to say it’s not the right one.

The sums don't add up for this. If everyone gets it in a few months then one million would die needlessly.

If people don't calm the fcuk down, bring in rationing.

The irony being builders providers don't have them.

We make a lot of the kit we need in Ireland.

Some men in suits should have visited these places by now and said we will be taking X amount of your stuff and we will be paying this and that's just how it is going to be from now on.

Hopefully that has happened by now.

A factory in limerick is working 24hrs a day making masks. They export all over the world.

MarkY91 · 13-03-2020 09:54AM

Man in lidl with like 12+ cartons of milk each containing 2 litres.

Wtf is he expecting to do with that? It will be gone off in a week ffs.

Are we running out of cows or something?

Thatâ€™s it exactly. Most people are clueless about it believing coming Mar 29th all will be grand and dandy because the government gave that date. Anyone with half a brain knows thatâ€™s going to be extended. Also people are putting China out there as sure itâ€™s grand now . Itâ€™s declining in China. Like a previous posted said China basically interned anyone with the virus in the Wuhan area and no one was allowed leave. A similar example would be if Ireland was cut off with no travel in or out and that would contain the virus here. Within a country that people are still going out, popping to the pubs etc. And people pushing the one percent death rate? Again clueless. Countries that have lower rates all took drastic action at the first sign, not a few weeks into it when itâ€™s too late.

I'm gonna say this now and say this loud

Fcuk China. They brought this hell down upon us.

Hopefully countries recover enough to seriously sanction them in the future.

Yeah sure. I’m positive the 191/2 and 201 cars packed like sardines into Supermarket car parks being filled with €80+ loads of shopping were welfare collectors.

Pfffft mup ourra da

Is it uht milk? Doesn't need to be refrigerated

However,,,,,,,

Even if initial safety tests go well, “you’re talking about a year to a year and a half” before any vaccine could be ready for widespread use,

UK gov is essentially insentivising the spread of this virus by their actions.
I personally won't be meeting with anyone from the bigger isle for a long time.

Loads of stock in Fresh Grand Canal Dock and Donnybrook Fair, except for bread, on Baggot St yesterday evening while Tesco on Baggot St was gutted.

Also, Ferryman Pub and H Bar in GCD were so busy yesterday evening with Facebook types, despite no concert being on in the theatre near there.

A lot of idiots out there.

If I ever hear anyone ever talk again about the great Irish community spirit, they can fcuk right off. When the chips are down we're just a bunch of mé féiners, needlessly making a bad situation worse.

I contacted this factory back in February. I was looking for some to send to my son and his wife who live in China never really thinking that I would need them myself.

I was told by the factory that their production was sold up to next July.

I see that Germany blocked the export of their home produced masks to Switzerland.

Did any of the psychics, Uri Geller, Old Moore etc, predict this world changing event?

One of the pages from that fiction book (published in the 80s that mention a virus from Wuhan) image that was doing the rounds was apparently not from the fiction book but from a Sylvia Browne book, which predicted a Wuhan-esque virus in 2020 (I imagine the rest of her book is a series of embarrassing fails with regards to predicting anything).

I'm surprised we haven't seen a remarkable prescient quote from Nostradamus which when looked into in more detail doesn't come from Nostradamus at all.

China officials blaming US. US blaming China. Wars start this way, down the road if this causes real economic depression, these accusations become more serious.

If it wasn't this deadly pathogen it would be a different one.

What about ebola, swine flu etc? Doesn't matter where they start.
When this was happening in china nobody gave a ****. Now it's on your door you get it. Racists become exposed at times like these.

Before this is over we will be begging them. Get used to it.

Do your self a favour and be another racist ****e.

I’m reposting this. What a woman. Thought the guy was going to keep equivocating and dodging but she got him. Coronavirus testing and other things will be free to all Americans independent of health insurance status.

I read/ heard somewhere over the last week or two that there's a vaccine for SARS that's close to finishing trials in the US that could help.

I know they contained SARS so maybe emphasis wasn't on it but still, no way we'll have a brand new covid specific vaccine anywhere near a year from now judging by that time line.

Looks like normal milk. He must plan on him and his family eating nothing but cereal for the next week or so.

I'm so angry. Imagine all the elderly people collecting their pension today..many of which are completely alone having to go in and try deal with these bastards and choosing what's leftover on empty shelves

Would it be off-colour to say we need a cull?
