Sure you said a few posts back you would be happy with a basic 5 min check

A 5 minute check is better than the zero checking you'd be happy with.

Surely there was some visibility beforehand of what was in the consignment? You know, an inventory or invoice or something? Those things that apply to even the most basic of deliveries let along one that cost millions.

I've been in the process of distancing myself from anything made in China for the last few weeks such as changing to a smartphone produced in Korea and am prepared to forgo luxuries in that quest.

This has to be one of the most unintentionally hilarious sentences on Boards.

Is it a very clever pisstake?

Do you really think all the jobs will be there when covid is over? Just curious, aside from your other points. Won’t this send some businesses to the wall the longer they are unable to open. To my logic some won’t have the funds to see them through this. The whole thing is very very sad and bad from start to finish for every person in society from the sick to the well.

I do. We have to deal what's infront of us first, namely containing Covid, saving lives.

Lots of interesting stuff online about that.

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

The woman with cystic fibrosis in Co. Kerry who spoke online and whose speech was shared widely expressed her dismay about the crowds in Temple Bar. But she would still have had to isolate herself anyway even if the pubs in Temple Bar had been practically empty on that Saturday night.

There's a good article in the FT today though suggesting panic and overreacting is probably the safest route to go in the face of a global pandemic. Yes, you risk doing serious damage to your economy but the alternative of doing little and 'business as usual' is probably far riskier (you could end up with several million dead in Europe in that scenario).

Ironically you want to go back to a time period where the most vulnerable to covid won’t exist because of a much shorter life expectancy!!

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!

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.

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

scamalert · 03-04-2020 04:20PM

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?
