Yes. I am absolutely sick to f**king death of how everyone is pretending this isn't a 'China' problem. Of course it is. It's not racist to say so, or any of the other pure sh1te I've seen people spouting.

It's 100% China's fault.

It’s repulsive to see western “news” outlets pushing communist China’s propaganda.

Let's be honest we still haven't taken this seriously.

The amount of old people out and about today.

We need a good kick up the arse now before it's too late.

The best counties at dealing with this mask all make it mandatory to wear a mask when someone goes outside.

China, South Korea and Signapore....can you see the connection???

Ok believe what you want.

Those countries have worn masks for years due to air quality and pollution.

But fire away wear a mask, they offer no additional support to someone walking around a street if your not ill.

Again theres no proven benefit,

niallo27 · 19-03-2020 10:58PM

All these people complaining about people not staying at home, how the **** do you know this if your stuck at home and not out and about.

Being out isnt an issue if social distancing is adhered to.

They do stop you from touching your face though.

Such sh1te, humans have been around millennia. Vaccines about a centuary, what did we do before that.

Died, a lot. Smallpox alone killed hundreds of millions in just the 20th century. 30% death rate. We eradicated it completely in the early 80's.

Prof. Luke O'Neill plays in a punk band called The Metabollix.

Really. Great name for a band although I did have a 3 piece ska/punk band called Degenerative Disease which I thought was good too. We were ahead of our time- name wise.

I meant as in not worrying where the virus is, who has and when will the government protect me by locking us down. Its worrying for the sake of it.

Take social distancing seriously even if others don't, limit your interactions, try to keep to your family circle as much as possible but continue working if you have a job as you need to keep sane, have an income and try to help the country stay afloat. The HSE will hopefully do its bit for you if needed, we need to keep something in the coffers to make that possible and protect those unlucky enough to lose their jobs.

Dude, stop talking to me like that. I haven't seen sunlight in about five days.

Google wet markets. And then look for something similar on Europe.

Google other pandemics. They can start from anywhere, but yeah I'm aware of problems with animal practices in China but other areas of Asia too.

Industrialised meat industry in the west can also be a potential source. Pig farming for instance.

It's not just one country. We all have to assess how we deal with this risk.

Why not just test us all to start , like the NCT you get your time and your number , pay a few bob and get a text with your results at least then we would have a real scale ,

5million people , 25,000 testers , 200 people a day wouldn’t it give a great picture of exactly where we are

Waste of resources if you have no symptoms.
It would only show you are clear when tested.

Thats human nature though, more so people have to train themselves not to touch their mouth or eyes.

Which most of us do without even thinking.

This will change the way we do things going forward for sure.

Personally I'm alot more conscious now of what I do.

China blamed the Us military several times hence Trump calling it the Chinese virus at every opportunity.

Even in a global crisis they can't leave each other be. Looks like China is getting back to normal while the problems in the Us are only beginning.

We aren't a nice nation.

Hopefully this weeds out the scumbags and wasters in this country.

we could just do it every 4 years, or every 2 if you're a 1980 or older

It's getting to the stage where Chernobyl looks like it was a handier mess to clean up.

Scumbags, should be locked up

I assume a whole lot of hypochondriacs are demanding a test, meanwhile the "ah shut lookit it will be grand" types actually have it.

So first you said they don't work but now you're saying they should be only for health service??

Why wasn't our government proactive and planning for this? I bought these months ago when the virus started in China. I value my health so I bought n95s

You bought them because you value your health, but you just posted a few minutes ago that like another poster, you are too afraid to wear them in case people laugh at you or think you look suspicious.

Europeans don't eat gross **** like bats and rats and live on top of each other.

No but they have grotesque animal factory farms where diseases spread that could spread to humans, for that reason I don't think any of us can look down on the Chinese. We should perhaps think about how we keep animals worldwide, it might even mean, gasp, eating less meat.
