    Because I stick to verifiable facts not anecdotes or just your own opinion and I don't resort to insults.

    No you don't. The NY post article linked to the original article in Danish, you were just too obtuse to see it or too lazy to translate and read it.

    You resorted to the lazy Boardsie favourite put down of 'I think your source is disreputable/contemptible, ergo the information the source is conveying must be falacious' What's falacious is the rubbish reasoning. The Daily Mail reports on a huge range of topics. If they have an article about a virus that first appeared in a more reputable source - which they almost always reference - the information doesn't turn to worthless mush just because it first goes mainstream in the DM.

    Your ability to read english is clearly a problem. Go back and read what I typed. Hint. Its the very same as you typed. You may have read it with different intonation, but its the same words.

    Governments treat things as a pandemic when officially declared so. A month ago it was not a pandemic and was not being treated as such even though it developed into one.
    Credibility, is that what you were trying to spell ?
    A mere typo of one letter. Says a lot about you that point it out. You’re just someone who looks for small faults, which is easy to do, and then scream about it.
    You asked for a news paper article. I gave it to you. Its credibility is up to those that peer review it, when published.
    No I asked for a link not a newspaper article.
    I'm sure they'll call on you Mr Mensa in good time.
    Resorting to insults again, must be losing the argument.
    By the way, you lost all credibility with me with your inability to read english words or type them for that matter. That and your other arrogant and poorly educated responses.

    I can read and comprehend very well thank you. I just refuse to see stories from The New York Post as a creditable source of information or a good publication in which to educate oneself which is what you claim to do.

    I claimed the Icelandic study claiming to have found 40 mutations only appeared in the newspapers in the last couple of days.

    This inability or refusal to understand English is spreading just like Covid19 at this stage.

    Of course this would not be required if we properly funded the defence forces and they had even one heavy lift aircraft.

    A national embarrassment.

    How many times recently has the State needed heavy lift aircraft? What's wrong with getting Aer Lingus to do it?

    If there were several widebody cargo aircraft sitting around, costing a fortune to store and maintain there would be holy war.

    But semantics?

    pandemic (from Greek πᾶν pan "all" and δῆμος demos "people") is a disease epidemic that has spread across a large region, for instance multiple continents, or worldwide.

    This was a pandemic long before the WHO declared it so.

    If it walks etc.

    Yes but the WHO is the official body that declares pandemics and that’s when governments act. Not when internet posters say so.

    Apart from large doses of snide superciliousness, what are you contributing?

    Let's look what an epidemiological expert thinks in the change in testing occurring in NY.

    So what? They are not new, they have been known for a while.
    Your back up is a puff piece in a newspaper with a sensational headline

    The only thing the Icelandic research goes to help is how the virus spreads - and there is enough evidence of that throughout all the European countries alone

    This attitude really annoys me. Every other country take basic defence and distribution serious in case of crisis.

    Heavy lift could have been used for evacuations from Libya, Iraq, Syria - the delivery of physical goods either to Ireland or elsewhere to support Irish citizens/interests in conflict zones or emergencies...and other purposes.

    We are the only actual country that is not a tiny island in the world that does none of this.

    It's a disgrace that we need to get a commercial airliner to fly 60 times to China when one heavy lift could do most of it.

    We really need to grow up and stop depending on the UK in particular. We can afford it. We choose not to do it.

    Ha ha. Am I supposed to be worried or upset by this?
    It just means I won’t have to refute your sniping and ill-substantiated replies anymore. A relief.

    Good night.

    Ye should aslo realsie that China did no work for two months.

    Vast majority of the PPE etc is made there. if not the constituent parts.

    They only in the last 3 weeks began to get the supply chain moving. So PPE will come.
    By this time next week i expect all the calls for PPE in Europe to quieten down as orders start to arrive.


    Again the problem is the US and Trump. Hes dithering on getting manufacturers in the US to ramp up production.
    This means the states are competing with each other for orders from China.

    Another reason that orange bollox needs to be removed.

    Greatly dislike Trump but he's got a point about the world dependency on China and that we need regional supply stability.
