Trump just said ‘Ireland and UK have done a great job’. Maybe Ireland did but certainly not UK

Please stop with the 'herd immunity' meme, the only scientific study of SARS2 COVID-19 is that it stimulates relatively low levels of antibodies in recovered cases which will reduce to ineffective levels by 3 years.

There is still has no vaccine for SARS1 (2003), which is the genetically closest coronavirus to COVID-19, suppositions based on 'flu like corona viruses have no basis they are just that, a supposition.

Source for this study and the conclusions? The amount of bad science surrounding this topic is astounding.

Even more so the amount of people taking some completely unreviewed paper with clear bad scientific principles, (saying it reduced the fertility level of patients, patients they had not tested the fertility of prior to infection), as fact then claiming other people are supposing things is more than a little hypocritical.

Ah the old 24/7 T'roll / 'Bloodbath Sadist' from page 1, who claimed it was only a bad cold/flu, is still applying flu/accident whatboutery to this very day, how sad.



Or maybe your wrong and full of ***e (again, no surprise).

A report from Li Yufeng, a professor from the Center for Reproductive Medicine of Tongji Medical College in Wuhan, where the virus originated, states it may reduce sperm count in (some, not all, and like a small minority) of cases.

I'm not trolling anyone. I'm rightfully calling out Bs artists like yourself who are making a bad situation far worse with their BS.

You said 350 million people would be dead by the end of the summer from this along with a lot of the worst doomsday crap that has been said in this thread since the start.

I've been a lot closer to reality. I never claimed it was a bad flu. We can go back and quote some of the things that were said if you want to embarrass yourself.

You need to learn how science works before linking some study as fact. The majority of these studies are bad science and should be assumed to be such until confirmation and peer review.

It has already been criticised by others and has been taken down.

Apparently 50% of global production comes from Galway, so we certainly shouldn't have a shortage!

Depends on which countries have ordered and paid for them, right? Just because they’re mae here doesn’t mean anything. Money talks.

I doubt it.
I think one aspect of globalisation is going to be put into reverse by it.
Much less international travel, higher costs & more stringent restrictions and bureaucracy around it (maybe bills of health and or quarantines and the like required for entry to countries). A demonstration to everyone of the horrendous costs of a disaster like this usually drives new regulations IMO.
Good for the planet, not so good for passenger plane makers, airline industry, tourism & the like.
