Finding a smartphone with no parts coming from china or thats not even made in China would be pretty difficult these days.

Lots of interesting stuff online about that.

The deaths so far in Italy are not unusual for that country

Really, they seem to be making a fuss about it?

Trolling.

Eh he's talking about the 1980's not the 1880's. Much shorter life expectancy. Wut? :pac: Life expectancy has barely shifted since then. In some western nations it may actually start to trend down because of the increase in obesity and lifestyle conditions like type 2 diabetes.

Well it’s 10 years less in the 80s than now! Wut?

That’s a substantial shift!

People have rose tinted glasses

Jebus that's an embarassing post.

So over 15% of all people over 80 in Ireland will die?
Or 15% of those who contract the virus?

"High risk bracket" - what does that mean exactly?

No it is not 1%.
"Many" - How 'many' is that?

"Up to 20%" - Sale now on, up to 90% off leading brands

There's that 'many' number again. More or less than the last 'many' ?

No, you are.

Frankly I cannot imagine anyone being as dumb as you are to ask those questions about my simple statements.

If you're legit too dumb to understand simple statements like I made there is no point in reading my posts or trying to explain it to you.

Covid, from faulty tests to faulty equipment to media hysteria... to ‘of ‘ or ‘with covid’

Poster links to story from unnamed sources, second poster claims that it is an orchestrated campaign against someone. Who to believe?

Orchestrated campaigns.

Neither, anyone believing anything posted on boards is sadly lacking in critical faculties.

If interested check out both points of view by combing information sources available, and form your own opinion, hopefully more broadly based as a result of your research.

First of all you are brain dead. You don't know anything, you don't understand anything. Don't for one second think I'm considering talking with you as some sort of argument or discussion, you're a joke.

My stats are the most objective ones available from WHO and worldometers.info

It is widely believed they are underestimates of those actually getting the virus and dying from it. Many more are dying from coronavirus without being tested for it, they are not included. The UK has estimated it could be actually 24% greater or more in their country.

There are also many who are currently in the process of dying and many are left with life altering complications that slash their future life expectancy.

A month ago I might have understood some of your horse****, now it's like you're insane.

You're a joke.

There's no balance when it comes to saving lives over money, which is what we're doing at the moment.

Covid is the imminent threat to life now. Not economic impacts which can't be predicted.

I place lives over money everyday. If we limit the effect of Covid from 1,600 lives lost to half that, 800, that's a success. And those numbers arent plucked from my ar*e. We have approx 100 dead already. We have to peak and come down from that.

Why don’t we lockdown every winter in that case - we could save tens of thousands of lives a year in Europe from flu. It’s always a balance, there is no absolute respect for life in any decision.

What a load of ****e. So hes thought of all these reasons why Italy was hit so hard, every reason under the sun except that COVID is simply a dangerous disease, is this out of date or something? Because the exact same thing is happening in Spain, UK,New York, Belgium and Netherlands, whats the excuse for these countries being similarly hit hard? Italy is no longer an anomally, it was a few weeks ago, but now it is looking increasingly clear that the disaster that happened there will occur anywhere else where covid is out of control

Maybe, much more likely, the world has not overreacted this

The personal attacks are obviously within forum rules which is a surprise.

Nothing you have stated is based on fact. Nothing.
It’s articles you have read and decided it’s fact and give you authority to post on forums in the manner you have.
24% is utter rubbish.
However you believe what you want, it’s a discussion forum.
Which you are allowed break the rules of for some reason

can people refrain from using words i believe, think, it will be, its not true, and other waffle. seems not even a week in and each day this is getting beyond hysteric what $hit people come up with, backed by 0 rationale just pure crap theories, some seem always unhappy, some separated from reality completely, most cant do basic maths, and have 0 expertise but sure i know someone who says its a fact or ive read online this and this should be simply deleted.

The end of the article:

Chinese medicine

While the new regulations will prohibit the general consumption of wildlife, wild animals will be still be allowed for use in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM).

Last month the national health commission approved the use of bear bile to treat coronavirus patients. The fluid is milked from the gall bladders of living, caged bears and the active ingredient, ursodeoxycholic acid, is used in TCM to dissolve gallstones and for other treatments.

Conservation group Animals Asia has been calling for an end to bear bile farming in China for many years, saying it is an “immensely cruel industry”. In cases where the active agent does prove effective in medicines, several synthetic alternatives to bear bile are available on the market, the group said in a statement.

:eek:

So you think he's talking bull - but do you deny his claim that the 1957 pandemic didn't lead to a lockdown?

ChikiChiki · 03-04-2020 03:21PM

Mentally I found this week more difficult than the previous 10 days.

As I wrap up what was a very tough working week from home my prevailing thought is, I will never take the greatness of health, freedom and what we have on our doorstep for granted again.

I like a big annual international holiday but cannot wait until this is over. Next couple of holidays I take is going to be 2-3 weeks in a camper spending money at home in businesses that come through this.

One of our own has died as a result of being on the NHS frontline. Mother of 3 kids. Only 39.

What the hell are you talking about?

You have over a 15% chance of dying if you're over 80.

How is that "extremely low"?

If you're over 70 you are also in a high risk bracket.

If you're in your 40s or 50s it's still like 1%, which is hardly "extremely low" for being put into the ground. Many in their 30s have also died.

Up to 20% of young people getting it require ICU or ventilators or they will die also.

Many of us have other respiratory conditions and don't know how things are going to go.

You ****ing eejit.

I agree with your general gist here but that '20% of young people require ICU' needs some serious citation. We don't have the ability to state that statistically at the moment and I'd regard it as a little too alarmist.

All of the PPE will shortly be in a big hole in the ground regardless of it being suitable

The thing about PPE is it either has to be all perfect or not at all.

You can have the best gown and goggles but if your mask is faulty you might as well not bother with anything.

So any PPE we get has to be of the highest standards, all of it, not some of it, otherwise you put healthcare staff at risk.

All your stats are wrong.

Not up to 20% of young people getting it need ICU...20% of ICU are young people but that's two very different things.

Your chances of being under 40, from Ireland and dying from this is less than 0.1%.

Strazdas · 03-04-2020 03:22PM

The problem with lockdown vs no lockdown is that Govts had no idea what they were up against and just how serious a risk the pandemic posed. Even now, nobody is sure how many people are infected and whether it is possible the idea of 'herd immunity' to Covid exists.

Given the complete lack of knowledge about this new virus, they didn't have much choice but to lockdown.

Well the answer is simple.

This is not an ordinary winter flu.
