    I mean really.

    It is so insulting. The Uk people should run them out.

    Well then it's time to ramp up production if any way possible with the help of the public if that can be done.

    It's £330BN for businesses at no interest for 6 months. 15% of their GDP. Pretty decent if you ask me.

    Yeah. Cause everyone wants to be in mass debt right. Its working out well here.

    Those numbers of deaths are getting extremely high in Italy. The dust will have settled before we know the non CV deaths that have resulted as a consequence of this. Not as headline grabbing but surely rising.

    But still, not a huge spike, staying constant and effects of lockdown won’t be apparent for a bit longer so given the circumstances, encouraging.

    Genuniely feel grief for Italy. Such a fantastic country and people who don't deserve this.

    Wouldn't run out if so many people didn't keep requesting tests when they clearly aren't infected.

    I know of 2 people who got tested after ringing the gp, neither matched all of the symptoms but still got referred on.

    Needless strain on the system

    That's complete rubbish, pharma companies are here purely for transfer pricing reasons and we all know this. They are saving billions by locating in Ireland completely ripping of the American consumer. The US gov need to be smart and they will get them back.

    I think I spot the flaw in that post...

    Not getting worse either though which must be sign for optimism. Are the numbers getting tested every day increasing.

    I'd guess the numbers testing positive are limited by the number it is physically possible to test.

    In Ireland it's high UV levels that might be some benefit in reducing the virus potency. If so hope for a 2018 type summer.

    There is no absolutely no scientific evidence available on the effect of seasons on this virus.

    It has only been known to science for 13 weeks.

    The Orange idiot in the White House was talking rubbish, as usual, when he said that it would all be gone with the arrival of summer.

    Crude nationalism, like the talk of foreign virus.

    i'd say some kind of decoupling from China is a dead cert after this. The number one country in the world will not want to be beholden to China for its medicine and medical equipment after this.

    Not the EU’s fault in its current form but needs to be a serious discussion about its future. Right now it’s in limbo.

    One would hope much of italy has covid at this stage , would make the death numbers slightly more palatable if equally tragic

    The UK are royally f*cking up our efforts at containment by allowing the schools in NI to remain open.

    The media needs to get very do the very opposite of 'calm down' about that !

    SF with a deputy first minister can't even get the schools in NI closed. Irish Media won't either.
